€—The Bulletin, Mt. Joy, Pa., wv Thursday, May 24, 1951 OWL LAFFS —BY-- A WISE OWL Since «everyone is digging into long forgotten es in the attic, we dug up the Owl Laff columns published reminiscing first twenty-eight years ago and repeat them. Many of the folks mentioned have since passed on to that Great Beyond, but memories linger on. Charlie Wealand says a woman will buy anything from an agent if he talks long enough. Guess that's the reason there are so many cook- less cookers, mopless mops and washless . washes. However, he wants us to say that Maggie is not dhe of this kind. — iCharlie ' Greider, the Rapho Twp. farmer, school teacher, insurance agent, ex-merchant and good all around fellow, says that Rapho as good tobacco as any Put that preduces other section of the county. in your pipe and smoke it. A stomach that can handle any- thing is just an ordinary stomach with military training, says “Fat” Heiserman. Believe me, he knows. “Jack” Miller told me day that he can easily when you could get a good $4 pair of shoes. I told him can yet, if he pays $10 or $12 for them. Mon- remember on he Harry Brunner told us the other day the undertaker the only man who can successfully wait for business. that is about “Dutch” Germer and several more of those young bloods who were overseas, were telling of some of the hard guys they met during the war, when “Finnegan” Kramer butted in by saying he saw a fel- low ride ten acre field a scratch. a porcupine thru a of cactus and never got Only his size kept me from hitting him.

Ream, The other day cone of our local fisherman (and it wasn’t Jake Zel- ler or Paul Getz either) went out in‘o the garden to dig worms. Af- ter uprooting the greater portion of his good wife's parsley bed he found enough worms and went. He didn’t catch anything until he got home. Mart Heistand told me the other day that men with short memories should not make long promises. Right you are, Mart. Squire Jake Zeller says when your troubles try your soul, your hat and fishing pole. grab I can’t think of a better way to wind up a column from yesteryear, than to congratulate my boss, editor, for his fifty years in the newspaper business. It's a funny thing. When the Bulletin was first started, way back in 1901, it was alc a year. Now fifty years later it’s just $2.00 a year, just four times as much. Why most things today go up in price that much in a few weeks, especially the paper The Bulletins printed on. — — So, congratulations ! the The writer will bet $11 against a Cenvennial wooden nickel that there ain't one of those Brothers of the Brush who can eat soup without\ making a noise.
