hotel or a "posh" party. We
had always wondered where
the word originated and it
took the Suez crisis to give us
the answer. Turns out that in
the old days the best accomo-
dations on liners passing
through the hotter than Hades
canal were on the shady side.
Thus it was that those hold
ing such Accommodations on
ships referred to them as
port out and st a o. ard
home. Their they simply
shortened the expression by
using the first letters and
came up with "poSh".
ELvIs
We would rather just ig-
more ElviS Presley but that is
impossible with his income of
umpteen thousand a week.
But we had the misfortune to
see him on the Ed Sullivan
Show on Sunday evening and
we wish to go on record here
and now that if the girls OF
this country persist in their
alteration of this fellow we
may just as well refer to this
horde of squealers as the
younger degeneration.
HOLY MATRIMoNY
Matrimony proves at least
one thing. you soon find out
what kind of a guy your wife
should have married.
KID STUFF
Bud Nelson of the Lebanon
Western Star" tells this one
about one of his boys. Seems
the lad came home after
school and asked his father,
What do Eisenhower and
Abe Lincoln have in COM
mon?" Pop thought minute
and said, What 2" Boy look
ed that look and replied, "A
Gettysburg address,!
VIEWPOINT
The reason that baby-sit-
ters demand such high wages
these days is because the hand
that rocks the cradle rules the
world.
FACT
London, is a shopping cent
er in the truest sense. and
il has been established longer
and has more businessmen OF
long standing than any of the
new ones.
HUMN!
A lot of perfectly healthy
individuals go around in an
absolute state of un-conscien-
ce-ness!
BET
We know of local farm
er who bet a city feller that
the price of hogs would be lO
cents or lower on New Years
Day. He lost, of course, but he
paid off the bet with the diff
ference between 10 cents and
the going price. Latest word Is
that he's been eating anything

BOOZE
Madison County Chapter,
Alcoholics Unanimous, had it's
January meeting. the other
day and it was decided to buy
patented k-puller.
Seems the lads are too weak
to pull 'em by hand anymore.
FORWARD LOOK
In many cases it would be
lot more practical to delay the
honeymoon until the newly
weds see how the marriage
works out.
REMEMBRANCE
Woman came in the other
day to see if anybody had
found a small purse which she
said contained lock OF her
husbands late hair.
MOTHERS PRIDE
Mother to little Penelope,
aged five: And tell me, dear,
where do bad little girls go?"
Penny looked up and with a
smile said: why everywhere,
Mother, everywhere!
SHOPPING
Fellow went into a store to
exchange a Christmas gift ana
found that the store was hav-
ing a January clearance sale.
After fighting his way to the
exchange counter he suddenly
started failing his arms and
showing with all his hight.
Floorwalker came over and
asked. Mister, who don't you
behave like gentleman? To
which our hero blurted this
reply. II tried acting like
one and / got nowhere so
that's why I'm acting like
ladyw
