INVENTION
Best wacky invention of the
year is a bathroom door that
you don't have to stand out
side of. Reason is that the
door opens into a closet!
GOLF
Golf is a game which can
be played by young or old.
Only trouble is that by the
time you can afford to lose a
golf ball, you can't hit it that
far!
ERROR
Mark Twain explained the
difference between a mistake
and a blunder this way
said Mark, IF you walk in
to restaurant with a cotton
umbrella and walk out with
a silk one, that's a mistake.
But if you walk in with a
silk one and walk out with a
cotton one that's
blunder!"
STATESMAN
Senator Arthur Vanden-
burg is seriously i'll. In any
event he will be sorely missed
on the Washington scene. We
classify Mr.. Vandenburg as
a gentleman and a statesman.
Looking at Washington, how
many men of this type are
still in evidence? We need
men like this perhaps more
than any other single thing.
Integrity exists but rarely.
FOOD
Something that sounds bad
but tastes wonderful is
dish of mashed potatoes and
sour cream with onion.
NUMBER
Best license number I ever
had was 10801 which could
read forward, backward, or
standing on your head.
NEWSPAPERS
Tom Gaumer and 1 went
to Boy Scout camp together
when we were kids. Recently,
Tom and his father bought
out the Marysville Tribune
and have now combined it
with the Union County Journ-
al which the Gaumers had
owned for a great many
years. The new paper is call
ed the Marysville Journal
Tribune and we wish Tom
and his dad all the success
in the world.
SuDN THoT
Odd how quickly we for
get about the basketball tour
nament once the home team
is eliminated. Out of sight
out of mind? (Just wait

PANIC
What in the world causes

old who locks himself in the
bathroom? Just one thing
