Thursday Known
AS Grounding Day

Thursday was Groundhog da,
the day set aside to recognize
the grounding as a weather
prognosticator.
1t is an age-old superstition
that ground hogs come out of
their holes on Feb. 2 and if
they see their shadows go back
in their holes for another six
weeks If the day is cloudy
with no sun, then the ground
hog stays out in the open and
the weather is supposed to be
good.

DREAMS

Having a lot of dreams
lately? Not just the ordinary
garden variety of dreams
but hold on dreams
like a movie serial! Suppose
that there is some mental dis
turbance connected with such
a state Of dreams but then it's
very interesting just the same.
Take the other night, for in
stance. Started dreaming of a
football game which must
have had about forty half
times" in it. After playing
for about four or five hours,
thirst awakened me. Falling
asleep again after quenching
old thirst, / Immediately fell
back into the same old dream.
Man! Was | tired in the
morning! tThis reminds me
Of a fellow who twhen asleep
dreamed that he was awake.
When ne awoke he was
asleepD
ADVICE
Don't try to fooi all the
people any Of the time, nor any
OF the people any of the
time =. just be satisfied
when you are able to fool your
wife once in while.
AGE
If you want to have a
pretty good idea of your age
just get out and push a snow
shovel around.
HAPPINESS
Kind words do a lot to make
people happy but it seems that
their little faces light UP
lot more when we get cut
the old checlbook.
GUM
We don't chew gum but
we think that it is the only
product in the world that you
can get as much wear out Of
as you want to. Just think,
for penny you can get a mil
nclion dollars worth of chews if
q your jaws hold out. We haven't
heard of anyone wearing out
a wad of gum bat we know
a few who could give one
very hard time.
JOB
Another thing :. if every
body really liked his or her
job instead OF merely putting
in the time we think that
there wouldn't be SO much
CAB about shortening work.
ing hours.
DAWGS
Fellow told me once that he
thought it unfair to expect
dog TO like you when no one
else did. This fellow was
very nice guy.
PROSPERITY
Another definition of pros
perity might be that you pro-
sper when your procrasti-
nation matches your will to
buy something you think you
want.
JOKE
You know what a perfumery
is, don't you? Well, it's
firm that makes money by
sticking its business into other
peoples noses.!

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
nation is more prosperous than
ever before, and its foreign rela-
tions have improved from the
low point in 1946 before the in
itiation of the Marshall Plan,
President Truman told reporters
on the first day of his sixth year
in the White House.
Ruddy and trim after his Key
West visit, the President at his
press-radio conference gave a
vigorous defense of the Brannan
farm plan, of his views on civil
rights. his scorn for Sen. Nc
Carthy and DR.. Gallup, and his
anticipation of the May speak
ing trip which will take him to
the dedication of Grand Coulee
dam in the northwest and to
Chicago for a Democratic party
conference. He expressed glee
at the chagrin of reporters as
signed to the tour at the pros
pect of innumerable whistle
stop talks, and refused to be
pinned down on the exact num-
ber of talks he'll make on the
cross-country train trip.
One reporter asked if it's true
that the first five years are the
hardest. President Truman took
office the evening of April IL
1945, after the sudden death OF
President Roosevelt at Warm

Seperate seniority: An insur-
ance policy that will prevent up

torney General J. Howard Nc
'Grath before the US Supreme
Court - that accommodations
which segregate the races can't

I'm reply to a question about

Marshall plan money might
otherwise be lost in the shuttle

Every effort will be made to pass

there's no use starting filibus-

They have been rather diff

the country is still on its feet
and in spite of unemployment
we have more people at work
than ever before in any country
in the history of the world. We
have, he went on, the most pros
porous business set-up the coun-
try has ever seen, farmers are
in a better position than ever
before except for the high point
of 1923, and wage earners are
earning high wages. Truman as
serted that these first five years
after the greatest war in history
have been easier on the country
than any five years after any
other war.
Some people, he added, claim
this record would have been
made even if there had been a
moron in the White House, or at
least that's what he deduces
from their general attitude.
On the contrary, he went on
the President can take credit for
the situation and that's what he

there has been a jump of 60
percent in the demand for Anal

A combination of energetic

in this gain, it was stated.
