Central Bank Starts
Work RemodeIinq

The Central National Bank on
Monday started work of tearing
out the room on the second floor
back of the bank in preparation
to enlarging the institutions quar-
tCrs.
The room that is being remod-
eled is part of the old Farrar Block
that was gutted by the terrific fire
in 1929 which badly damaged the
buildings between the alley by the
side of the bank and East First
Street.
When completed the large new
room will house the adding mach
ines and other bookkeeping equip
ment for the clerical department
of the bank. This move will re-
lease two rooms downstairs to he
remodeled for office space.

REToRT
Fellow in our town let go
with a perfect squelch the
other day which we think
rates a mention. Another bird
walked up to him and asked,
''Man-where in the world did
you get that big nose? ?"
Our friend showed out his
chest and replied, We'll, / just
kept it out of other peoples
business and gave it chance
to grow!"
ADVICE
If you would live to be 100
live like you wanted to be a
hundred and twenty! And if
you want people to think
you're smart start telling 'em
how smart THEY are!
HUMN!
And you don't have to be a
wool grower to be interested
in coarse yarns.
WISH
We wish we could see the
chairwomen of some of these
highbrow clubs scratching
themselves after taking their
corsets off at the end of a
hard day e. perish forbid!
COMPARISON
Old Kaintucky Kernel was
expounding the virtues of his
home state to a Texan.
WHY we've got Fort Knox
and enough gold to build a
solid gold fence all the way
around Texas!"
ok" replied old Tex, you
build the fence and if l like it,

He's Like Disney
So, it is completely logical
that Walt Disney, who also
had his ups and downs in pur-
suit of Disney's own dream,
preferred Kirk Douglas to play
the role of Ned Land in Dis
ney'S treatment of 40 Thou
sand Leagues Under the Sea" /"
Disney and Douglas are the
same sort of guys, despite
dissimilar backgrounds. Each
firmly believes that an indi-
vidual is only as secure as his
talent; neither ever wanted the
protection of a major studio
connection. Disney always was
a lone wolf operator just as is
Douglas. And it's interesting
to note that Douglas is follow
ing in Disney's footsteps by
forming his own independent
company to make pictures,
next year.
Disney's path has been q
little smoother because he is
soft-spoken and much more
diplomatic than Kirk, who
can do quitesa bit OF popping
of. And Disney's early
struggles were leSsened by the
presence Of his brother Roy.
But underneath Disney's
calm exterior burn the same
fires that animate Kirk Doug
las. Disney Is just as fierce q
fighter, has the same con-
tempt for obstacles, the same
loathing of people who try to
push him around.
