VIEWPOINT

VIEWPOINT
AS the man toured a large
manufacturing plant, he came
upon a workman who was OPP
Grating a very large and COM
plicated machine.
The man asked, What are
you making"
The fellow answered, Two
sixty-five an hour!'
CRIME
Lots of folks talk about
return to sanity" Our own
suggestion to aid this return
would be to start blaming
criminals for crime waves in
stead of almost everything
else. The feed me or I'll
steal philosophy is weak and
silly-like child saying IF
l can't have my way I'll hold
my breath until my face turns
bluew
FACT
A very wise man said that
one does not grow old by liv-
ing but by losing interest in
living. We know many elderly
people who are young in their
ideas. Others take the cynical
view and even seem old before
their time comes.
HUMMN!
Resisting temptation is tough
mostly because it may never
come again!
BOOK
Many of our illustrious read
ers will remember a modern
classic entitled THE Special
istr written by the late Chick
Sale. The book was a record
of the experiences of a pro-
fessional outhouSe builder and
it is still on the market. Sold
its millionth copy the other
day.
sLuGGER
"Once a crook always
crook" could well define the
situation concerning a fellow
out in Los Angeles who uses
the alias, Lips Licavoli."
Seems Lips" was arrested
for using slug in pay tele-
phone although he had 1900
bucks in folding money in his
pocket at the time. Turned out
that LIPS" is wanted by De-
troit and Toledo police.
and just to think that a little
old slug got him caught. The
weed f crime bears bitter
fruit!
LIFE
Old Haywood Snugg, the
Freud of Five Points, says
that as a youth his mother
didn't tell him everything"
and that he had to learn the
hard way. AS Haywood rode
off on his broomstick he turn
ed and said. And now that
I've learned what I've learned,
I'd like to go back and do it
all over again.
HONESTY
Man we know was eating a
big 3 inch beefsteak the other
evening and we accused him of
"eating high on the hog" He
smiled, took another bite and
said. MY wife works"
TAXES
After the Rotary meeting at
which the matter of tax ap-
praisal was thoroughly cussed
and discussed a local real es-
tate man handed us piece of
paper on which were these
cryptic words: Sell your
house before the appraisal
Buy your house before taxes
go up." Surely, has a good
idea and we're accepting adj
vertising "a hours a day
DOLLARS & SCENTS
Fellow named r &c h a r d
Armour wrote these small
words which are loaded.
"Why reeks the goat,
On yonder hill,
Who seems to dote,
On Chlorophyll?" 2"
HISTORY
Lizzie Borden took an ak
and gave her mother forty
whacks etc" is well remen1-
bered by the Older" genera
ton. Lizzie was the principal
in a sensational murder way
back there but was exonerat-
ed largely because no murder
weapon could be found. Her
mother and father were brut-
ally murdered at their home
IN Fall River, Mass, vars and
vars ago. Lizzie, died at the
old homestead 25 years ago
come June the two. What a
lot of people DON'T know is
that just about two years ago
workmen demolishing the
house, found rusty, blood
stained hatchet in secret
panel!
LAST WORD
Old Haywood Snugg, pres
tidigitator and connoisseur of
hot dogs a la Airedale, says
that lot of people become
pessimistic when they pay
taxes put on 'em by thr
