vitation to all parents and friends

following the November ceremony
in the Presbyterian Church base
ment, with an invitation to all

The time has been set for approx
imately 8 pm.

about what is going on in the
local Girl Scout Program"

ing a great job out there. Re-
ports from India indicate that
Jesse has won friends for us
there and the Delhi Times says
that wherever he went he
held his following spellbound."
We once had a college algebra
class with Jesse and found him
to be a fine guy who worried
little about racial prejudice
and hate even though Adolph
Hitler once insulted him at the
Olympic Games. Hitler is dead
and Jesse is still doing fine.
INCIDENTALLY
incidentally, does anyone
know the origin of charley
horse ?" We've wondered about
the term for years. Everyone
knows what d charley horse is
but to date we've found no one
who knows where the term
came from.
COOKING
Certain items of incidental
intelligence come to our atten-
ton from time to time and we
report with pleasure that the
United States Department of
Agriculture has prepared re-
cipe for cooking, of all things,
GRASSHOPPERS! No doubt
this is where the expression
"out of the frying pan and into
the fire" originated.
ADVICE
If you would die with your
boots on-don't take 'em off!
siGN-o-TIMEs
Sign in local store -
"MENSWEAR." They sure do,
brother, they sure do.
THEFT
Looks like the Russians have
stolen old Teddy Roosevelt's
pertinent advice, Walk softly
and carry a big stick"
SPEED
Fellow around town owns
one of those midget cars that
will do over hundred miles
an hour. We know parking
lot attendant who can go fast
er than that-backward!
INVENTION
We disagree with the man
who said that necessity is the
mother of invention. It's just
plain laziness.
KNOWLEDGE
This is the only country in
the world where a split-T
quarterback gets more recog-
milton than a straight-A stu
dent.
LIVING
Girls have curves. Boys have
angles.
AGE
This is the time in the his
tory of man when he may not
only expect second childhood
but maybe a third or even
fourth.
THRIFT
Two can live as cheaply as
one If they are both nudists on
a 14-day diet.
OUCH!
And we suppose you've heard
the one about the poor little
pigeon who was people-breast-
ed. Also the one about the
guard-house soldier who. tried
to keep a civilian tongue in his
mouth.
FACT
One of the sad facts of this
day and age Is that people who
have accidents usually don't
have insurance.
MARRIAGE
And like the india-rubber
man who was married to the
bearded lady said to the GEN.
sus-taker, I'VE have been mar
ried for twenty odd years."
OBSERVATION
If her hands are lily white
and her hair is cut in the latest
style and with a brand new
hair-do-and If she Is dressed
in the latest New York style
and she has the shape of the
Venus de Milo, you can bet
your bottom dollar that HE
eats In restaurants exclusively!
ELMO
Elmo the Great says that
conceit is a queer disease-it
makes everyone sick except the
one who has it.
ApAGE
It's the fox In the window
that brings the wolf to the
door.
PEOPLE
From some of the people we
know 1t now becomes evident
that the world grinds on its
own axes.
HUH?
Experience is that certain
something which makes 1t
possible to recognize the same
mistake you made before.
LAST WORD
And like every scientist
knows-when body Is inn
mersed in water, the telephone
rings!
