We feel that the community is justly
proud of an officer who receives such a
commentator, direct or indirect, and are
very happy that Watts has declined the
offer to serve with the Sheriff's office.
Our pleasure is, perhaps, form of
Sel1ishness since we realize the outstand-
ing qualities the young officer possesses
and feel that he is definite asset to our
community in his present capacity.

dred different time zones oper-

having different time-at the

from PASSPORT, Maine to San
Francisco by railroad had to set
his watch about twenty times
in order to be suite of marking
the proper councillors. So the
railroads adopted standard time,
and from Bangor, Name to Taz-
ewell, Tennessee, editors and
pastors blasted them, saying
they were interfering with the
laws of Color at least the sun.
But il worked. The sun kept
working too, as we all know,
and when the length of days
started causing too much work
in night-lighted slyyscrapers etc,
daylight-saving time came in
and many people are still con-
fused. p. S. Please consult your

Column

An elevator operator saved
mis- money to take long trip.
He was sick and tired of just
going up and down, up and
down. Finally, when he was 68,
he had saved sufficient money
to realize his goal. He walked
into a travel agency and asked
the clerk for some suggestions.
The clerk replied: why don't
you go over to that table where
the globe is and see if you find
some countries you'd like to
VISIT" The elevator operator did
so, and he spun the globe "a
round and around for about 80
minutes. Then, he returned to
the clerk and asked: ~ don't see
anything there. Do you have
anything else?" Man we
know wore those new walking
shorts with a dazzling pair of
yellow stockings, but never
again! A dog mistook him for a

know that these were markers"
in we olden days and they used
to hang outside a house? When
fire started in that house, the

to look at the marker. If it was
company which paid them to
put out fires, they'd put that
one out. But, if it wasn't one of
their companies, they'd return
