You can have q fine re-
'tirement for yourself, and
maybe live to see the turn
of another century. II you'll
sit down tonight and figure
out just what kind Of oddity
you are.
ALL OF Us are oddities. Of
course, by the time we reach
age S. or 50. You probably
are not an exception :. and
If you think you are you may
be the oldest character of
all.
A man who made $4,000
q year before he retired. and
who is now making $40 q
week working In a filing
station. this week explained
why all this is so. His name
is Burns, and he doesn't want
to be identified beyond that.
(Another oddball, naturally
"a man coming near re-
tirement." says Mr.. Burns,
must understand that ne is
being brainwashed by all
sorts Of well.meaning peo-
pie. His tweed.suit friends
who could AFFORD Santa Bar
bara or Palm Beach are tell
ing him he should come bask
In the balmy breezes and
follow the stock and bond
tables. His friends who
couldn't adapt are telling
him retirement Is a raw deal.
His company is giving him q
paternalistic pitch about how
his pension and Social Secur-
ity will give him the good
life, and suggesting he should
take pictures and fish. }"
Mr.. Burns finds no fault
with this. q, even think 1t Is
all right for |. mans neighbor

For example, take the simple
matter of making a good pot
of tea. A cup of tea costs about
a penny a cup. It's the least

we had Pepsi-cola. After we ate
and finished washing our dishes
we went on a hike. We collected
some moss, nuts, leaves and pine
cones.
When we were ready to leave we
saw some Buzzards purched in
trees on the other side of the lake;
we were curious to find out what
they were doing so we went over
there. We found two Buzzards
nests, but the birds flew away.
We had lot OF fun on this trip,
and we hope to go there again in
the spring for camping overnight.

Christmas Lighting
Contest At Georgetown

The Chamber of Commerce has
announced plans for this years
Christmas home decoration contest.
It was voted that the inspection
tour on which the prizes are
based should include everything in
"RFD Georgetown" rather than
being confined to the town limits
as has occasionally been the case.
1t was decided, however, that
those outside the town limits who
wish to be included in the jud3-
ing should notify the Chamber
president, Manford G. Rust. This
is to save the judges from long
fruitless trips through outlying
areas.
The prizes will be the same this
year as last-a $25 government bond
for first; SIS for second and $40
for third.
