i OUR
ca TOWN
INITIATION


To the query-What has be-
come of the dime novel I've
always answer that it is now
bound in a hard cover and can
be found at your bookstore at
$3.50!
HATE !.
Some very wise man said,
IF you would hate a man
never associate with him 5.
because, if you do, you might
start liking him!"
KIDS
AS you perhaps know, our
respect for the opinions of
children is unbounded. Take
these words by small boy
to his mother "Mommy,
l love you as many times as
God can count"
Could you have said it bet
ter?
EXAMPLE
Just to show you how hard
it is to put over any new idea,
consider the case of the Egyp-
tians. They knew the world
was round as early as 2300
BIC. but the idea wasn't ac-
cepted until $500 years later
when old Chris Columbo prov
ed it!
TRUTH
This might apply right here
at home but there is a saying
in the Soviet Zone over in Ger
many which states-"Whoever
tells lies is carried on willing
hands, while he who tells the
truth needs body-guard!"
DAFFYNlTroN
Car Sickness-the feeling
you get every time a payment
on the old bus comes due.
VIEWPOINT
The snooty old dowager
proffered thin dime to a
tramp with the admonition:
II surely hope you don't spend
this on vile liquor"
The tramp replied: Madam,
with this kind of dough, that's
the only kind I can get"
WELL, NOW!
A Christmas decoration fell
and struck a man as he walk
ed through a large department
store. The manager took him
into his office and admins
tered first aid, and as pre-
caution, filled out a form con-
cerning the accident. Imagine
the mans surprise when he
looked over the managers
shoulder and saw written on
the form-"man's face scrat-
ched by fallen angel"
PROMOTION
The NEW YORK TIMES,
last week, carried 64-page
rotogravure section in color
for Macy's department store.
Perhaps the largest advertise
ment of its kind ever issued.
Who says it doesn't pay to
advertise?
SUDN THOT
We wonder what Salvatore
Dalis mustache looks like
after a night of fitful sleep.
STATISTIC
It is an odd fact, according
to a recent report, that De-
cember is the month of the
greatest number of murders.
Homicide reaches a peak this
month and the most dangerous
day Is the 25th!
LAST WORD
And just remember this i. !.
there is no such thing as a
better" atom bomb = it can
only get worse!
