fifth of milk!
HUMNNl
An assistant Is a guy who
never gets day off And
delegate-at-large is usually a
man who attends a conven-
ton without the little woman.
THINK
It's a mean old world. An
example of just how hard it
is can be justly brought out
by this comparison.
Suppose you can furnish
your next door neighbor with
everything he needs to live
and he, in turn, can give you
everything you need to sur
vive. you will both go broke
in no time as the old tax man
will get you both!
LOAN
If you must borrow-borrow
from a pessimist. He doesn't
expect to get his money back!
VIEWPOINT
Things are in a pretty mess
when it comes out that jail
ers are paid more than teach
erS.
TEXAS
How do you feel this
morning." asked the wife of
a Texas Gilman.
Gilman shrugged, Awful!
feel like one million dollars!"
OUCH!
A Arab can be described as
person whose immediate
plans are tentative.
OVERHEARD
Overheard in a manhole
was this: Everything I sell,
lose money on. If it weren't
for volume, I'd go broke!"
MEDICINE
Specialization is the biggest
thing in medicine. We heard
about a veterinarian who
won't treat anything but
cocker spaniels.
WELL7
If you would stand out in
a crowd - stick your neck
out
DENTISTRY
There are no painless"
dentists. If you think there
are just bite the next one
who puts his finger in your
mouth.
CHRISTMAS
when out on the lawn
there rose such a clatter, /
jumped from my bed to see
what was the matter. (Turn-
ed out to be Junior, back
from the Christmas dance.
5EBoP
Couple of beboppers stood
on a city street corner cut
ting figure eights with their
watch chains. Man in Ches-
terfield coat and a derby hat
approached just as a black
Cadillac drove up. Man in the
Cadillac moved down the
man with a tommy-gun. Be-
hopper jumped off the curb
and, like an umpire, hollered
Safe! Man"
LIVING
We've heard of almost
everything but we've never
heard of a woman marrying
a shapely, blonde man with
the brains of canary.
KID STUFF
Latest in the comic book
line is a volume entitled EN-
tertaining Comics. This one
has the entertaining title OF
Born to the Grave. The kids
will love it because it is the
story of a baby who is born
to a decaying corpse in
grave. The baby lives and
later grows up to be a zombie.
The thrilling climax to this
childish tale comes when the
zombie kills the murderer of
its parents"
AoWZAT AGIN?
That knocking you hear at
the door may be opportunity
but it's probably relatives.
UH HUH
A bachelor girl is a girl
looking for bachelor.
INSOMNIA
Sure cure for insomnia is
to lie in bed and try to think
of all the things that worried
you YESTERDAY!
BOXING
We would like to meet the
boxer who, when the referee
told him that he was famil-
lar with the rules of the New
York Atheletic Commission,
calmly replied, mo I don't
know them. What are they?"
LAST WORD
Sweet young thing: II play
ed hard to get and he got
tired and married another
grill"

intensity with which he spurns
a cup Of tea. Even with his
years of diplomacy the porce-
lain teacup can remain in it's
regimented position with the
silver service. The Ambassador
will have a strong cup1of coffee,
thank you.
A recent conversation he had
with a colleague best illustrates
the length of time this man
has served in Washington.
"It must seem strange to
you to be here with a Repub-
lican President, " said the
friend. mot at ALL" replied
the Ambassador, President
Eisenhower makes the fifth
Republican since I have been
here" The Ambassador came
during the William Howard
Taft administration.
In 1912, President Franklin
Roosevelt suggested that Nor
way raise its mission to the
rank of Embassy due to the
assistance the Norwegian Mer-
chant Marines had given the
Allied forces. This meant Will
helm Morgenstierne would
change his title from Minister
to Ambassador.
He would then have to go
and be received by President
Roosevelt and with this new
added rank he would have to
have some gold braid added
to his court uniform.
On this occasion one Of the
more amusing things in his
career happened.
The uniform which had
served him since 1910 was
sent home for repairs accom-
panied by a telegram which
read Repair and add braid
well. Stop. Return as soon as
possible" The word "stop"
means to pad in Norwegian
and so on the first of June
the uniform came back well
padded. The new Ambassa-
sador met the President al
most fainting from heat
prostration.
Ambassador Morgenstierne
uses that name but actually
it is just about half Of what
his well meaning parents gave
him. He laughs as he recalls
a newspaper account which
appeared IN one Of the 48
States he has visited. The
article started, "The Norweg-
ian Ambassador Wilhelm
Thorleif Munthe de Morgen-
stierne arrived in town yester-
day, dragging his name behind
him"
This couple is not the least
impressed by the rank they
have and in fact the num-
ber / license plate on their
car embarrasses Mrs. Morgen-
stierne. AS to the difference
between the ranks Of minister
and ambassador, the only
thing the diplomat finds bet
ter about it is that now, ira
Yelling as the Norwegian AM
bassador instead Of Norweg-
ian Minister, he is not asked
to say grace all the time in
small towns where residents
are more aware Of their near
by churches than the world
OF diplomacy.
This delightful couple are
loved In Washington for their

ter way for young people to as
sumo leadership, responsibilities,

good sportsmanship.
"By joining All, young people

help from their advisors and coun-
ty agents, good recreation such as
county camp, and many county
activities.

That big snow we had last week
surely would discourage anyone
from taking soil samples. But be-
