FOUR SONS
Once upon a time there were
four sons. The first was said
to have his mothers eyes and
the second was said to have
his fathers chin. The third,
people said, had his grand
mothers smile but the fourth
was positively certain of one
thing. he had his grand
fathers pants!

you find it here, old boy?"

LEGAL EAGLE
And it may be said in legal
circles that a man who hasn't
supported his wife for five
years is an advocate of free
love.
LIVING
Keeping ones nose to the
grindstone wouldn't be so
tough if you didn't have to
turn the dern thing at the
same time.
WIMMiN
Girls! When your boyfriend
or husband tells you that you
look like a million, he may
mean that many other women.
PSYCHE
We like the story about the
guy who went to the psychiat-
rist complaining about his in
feriority complex Doc check
ed him out and announced.
Nothing to worry about, my
good man, you really ARE in
feriorl
DIFFERENCE
In Madison county, when a
girl feels blue, she goes out
and buys new hat. In Holly
wood, she goes out and gets
new husband.
SPECS
They used to call 'em spec
tacles but from the looks of
the new muliti-colored. rhine
stoned jobs, they ought to call
'em "spectaculars!'
JUSTICE
We hope that the fellow who
blew up the airplane which
killed his mother and Al other
people is allowed to count
the insurance money while sit
ting in an electric chair.
TRAVEL
And then there's the one
about the Red Cross girl who
came home after five years a
broad. Her mother asked her
what she had learned and she
replied, well, I learned to

guages!"
HuMMN!
A man who is said to be
going places either has
something on the boss or has
a wife that likes to.
LANDING

Control tower to pilot, con-
troll tower to pilot! Why are

ADMIRATION
We admire men who don't
vince when wiley delivers the
punch line. We also admire
wives who don't vince when
hubby delivers the punch.
QUOTES
Louis Armstrong, jazz ex-
pert. Success, man, is to en-
Joy doin' what you do. Amt

Dizzy Dean, ex-pitcher-an-
nouncer, "A lot of guys who

VIEWPOINT
The best way for young
doctor to insure steady Glen
tele is to send all prospective
patients a "do-it-yourself-kit"
REDS
Communists are just people
who have come to the conclu-
sion that they haven't enough
intellect to become capitalists.
This makes them see red.
