8 OUR
"a TOWN

One Oh lIlc DcSt tiihi6S 0D
high speed jet airliners is that
travellers can be scared still
for shorter periods of time.
GRIPPE
One of our pet gripes is
having some sweet voiced op-
orator ask us our name on the
long distance phone and then
have us wait what seems hours
while she attempts to get a
hold of the guy who is calling
us. If person could read
book during the time he is
asked to wait one moment
please" he would be the best
read character in the world.
RESEARCH
Heard a story the other day
about a new so-called wonder
drug" Seems that the guy
who invented it is wondering
what it will cure.
huMMN!
"A fool and his money are
soon parted" is an old saying
which doesn't ring true. How
did the fool ever get the
money in the first place?
DAFFNlTIoNS
Philosopher guy who is
unhappy intelligently.
Optimist-person who sends
a small boy on an errand.
Owl-a wise old bird-who?
TRAVEL
Best answer to an age old
question which is usually ask
ed of returned travellers =
What did you do on your va
cation ?"-is the simple reply,
"A lot of things / wouldn't
dare do at home!"
AGE
We think the worst part
about growing old is reflec-
ton on all the mistakes made
in the past md the sudden
realization mat one can't go
. back and make them all over
again.
TREND
Used to be that a lot of
people kept their money in a
sugar bowl. We know a guy
who keeps his in salt shaker!
WORK
A committee is usually made
up of five persons-one does
all the work, three give him
moral support, and the fifth
calls the story in to the news
paper.
HEYWoOD
Old Haywood Snugg, he of
the sound mind and unsound
bankroll, says that the trouble
with this old world is that its
got too many people in it who
don't trust one another. "Of
course, says Haywood, most
of 'em have an excellent reas-
on for not doing sol"
And" Haywood continued,
whenever l hear some guy
say he can read women like a
book it's ten to one that he's
too old to start a librarv!"
cHivALRY
Who said chivalry is dead?
We saw a nice old lady hold
ing the door for a man ladden
with a heavy sack of golf
clubs the other day.
RELIGION
The Lords Prayer is a Won
derful thing but many small
fry give it peculiar twist due
to the mumbIing manner their
parents use in teaching. One
little angel was heard to say,
Give us this day our jelly
bread and Lead us not into
Penn station"
HOLY MATRiMoNY
She: "And to think that I
have given you the best years
of my life!"
He: yeah, and who made
them the best years of your
life?"
CONCLUSION
From here on in I'm going
to work just a little harder
and rest a little harder.
INCIDENTAL INTELLIGENCE
Counterfeiting is an old, old
art. The first counterfeiters
were Chinese who operated as
far back as 1868 AID.
72?
What beats us is how an
editor can read all the other
papers from nearby towns and
cities and still have time to
edit his own sheets.
OUCH!
And then there's the one
about the child of a well
known psychiatrist VIII G

his birthday.
LAST WORD
Don't cook the duck with

Gets $4,000 Estate
BY the Assoeiaied Press

DETROIT, Sept. IA man
who strangled his mother three
years ago yesterday has been
awarded $4,000 from her estate
by a precedent setting Federal
court decision.
The decision, handed down by
Federal Judge Thomas P. Thorn
ton, ordered the Government to
pay the sum to John D. Edmunds
of Jackson, Mich.
The $4,000 represents the bal
ance of a $40, 900 national service
life insurance policy paid to the
mother, Mrs. Minerva Edmunds,
following the death of another
son, Robert, in World War II.
! Edmunds confessed Staying his
mother on October "a, 1850. in
their Detroit home when Mrs.
Edmunds refused to make good
worthless checks written by her
son.
Acquitted on Insanity Plea.
Edmunds escaped trial when a
recorders court sanity commits
sion ruled him insane. The
commission found Edmunds to
be paranoid schizophrenic and
recommended that he be con-
fined to a State mental hospital.
After q months of treatment,
Edmunds was pronounced cured
and returned to Detroit for trial
on f1rst-degree murder charge
in his mothers death A re-
corder's court jury acquitted Ed
munds on August 20, finding
him innocent by reason Of in
sanity.
Edmunds' attorney brought
suit in Federal court to force
the Veterans Administration to
pay him the remaining $4,000
of his brothers insurance.
Court Lets Him Collect.
Judge Thornton ruled in favor
of Edmunds because 1.-The tre-
mendous preoonderance of evil
dence shows that he was in
sane at the time of the crime" ="
The unusual case is expected
to have widespread legal impli-
cations, as it is the first of its
type ever to be tried, according
to Mr.. Ward. He called the de-
cision unprecedented because r
marked the first time schizo-
phrenic paranoid was excused
for his actions while under a
pSychosis.
DR.. Albert j. Wallaert, chief
psychiatrist for the recorders
court clinic, said there are only
seven such cases known to medl-
cal science. He said the Ed
munds case was the only one in
which a cure has been effected.
