DENISE
Three old fellers, ages SO,
80 and SO, were talking about
dying. The first said he'd like
to be taken away in a hurry
and figured a crash in a
speeding car would be the
fastest way. The 90-year-older
said he'd prefer a jet-propelled
plane as a means to speedy
end. The eldest had the best
answer of all, though >. said
he, I'D rather be shot by
jealous husband

thing in public print!

America is cursed with the
use of too many labels" in
the political show. BY this we
mean that the politicians call
each other by vague and neb-
ulous terms which no one
really understands. Take i.
Leftist, Socialist, Pink. Fellow
Traveller, Isolationist, Radical,
Liberal, Conservative, Middle
of-the-Roader, Laborite, Right
list, War Monger, Capitalist,
Red Herring. Economic Royal
list, The Little Man, Big Busi-
ness, The Man on the Street,
The Common Man and Rabble
Rouser, to name a few. Can
anyone give us the correct
definition of these? Does any
one know what they really
mean? We can't classify them
ourselves and yet they do
carry weight" both by word
of mouth and in print. Like
children do the politicians
raise their brows and whisper
!. "Leftist' or Capitalist" or
some other. Xxx Time we rid
ourselves of these and got
down to truth as she Is writ!
Who is the little MANI"
Where does he start and
where does he stop? The way
we see it a little man Is one
who has less than another who
is then classified as a "big
man.! But no one ever admits
to being a big" man!
