MEN
Men are people who will
brave a tornado to broil
steak on an outdoor grill but

HIGHWAYS
We heard about a detour
that had been in use so long
that they had to open the
main highway in order to re-
pair the detour!
HOLY MATRIMoNY
Marriage is a state of af-
fairs wherein, if the wife
wants to 60 to the movie, you
go to the movie with her. But
of course if she wants to mop
the floor, you wouldn't dare!
FASHION
Fashion designer, Dior,
would seem to be trying to
join a united front.
THINK .
Just think! Out of every
dollar which goes into the
government, 66 cents goes for
deiAnse, while % cents goes
for the national debt, veter-
ans pensions and benefits,
and agricultural supports. The
remaining II cents takes care
of all other government ex-
pense!
VIEWPOINT
We don't hate anyone but,
if we ever do, we have cou-
pie of people all picked out.
?272
A novelty" is something
for which there is no other
name-but if there were an
other name it would be just
as misleading. ..-....
LIVING
Generosity is becoming OBJ
solete mostly because the per-
son so favored thinks that the
giver is either senseless or
servile.
WELL?
Seems to us that the things
in life that are the most fun
are also the easiest to spell.
PoLLYTiCkS
This is the time of year
when there are a lot of con-
gressmen at large!
CHILDHOOD
One of the finer things that
our modern youngsters learn
at mothers knee is that you
don't put a cherry in Mar
TIM.
AMBITION
One of our lifelong ambi-
tions has been to call the night
editor of Toledo newspaper
at four o'clock in the morning
and ask, How are you fixed
for Blades?"
MEDICINE
The medical boys have
knowledge like no one else in
the world. They can tell you
what can't cure the common
cold but can't tell you what
can.
HISTORY
History has been repeating
itself so rapidly of late that
it is beginning to stutter.
PROGRESS
If the characters of the So
called heroines in some of the
so-called historical novels we
We been reading lately were
actually as portrayed, it may
be said that the suppression of
vice has made tremendous
strides in the last couple of
hundred years.
SUGGESTION
Why doesn't some smart
guy form a foundation to pro-
mote the increase of Russian
Roulette. The only trouble
with the game now is that not
enough Russians are playing
it.
WONDER
We wonder if politicians be-
lieve all that is written about
them by friendly newspaper
editors.
BoNER
Faulty vision is listed as
one of the prime causes of
automobile accidents. The Ma
tional Safety Council lists
Ohio's Director of Highway
Safety as ). u. c. Fatty!
TRUTH
Suffice to say that people
who won't tell their age don't
act it.
HORSE SENSE
See by the papers that they
sold a yearling colt down at
Lexington for $150,000. Stable
prices?
LAST WORD
Childreni write to Santa
Claus. Adults write their con-
gresham!
