A Rejuvenated GOP
Few who watched the Republican con-
vention via TV (and we spent hours glued
to our set last week) will deny that the
Republican Party for the first time in a
decade, emerged with a truly fighting slate
General lke teamed up with the youthful
and truly dynamic Dick Nixon are proof in
themselves of a radically rejuvenated Re-
publican Party.
* * *
And if you want our opinion of just who
the real loser was in that convention, we
regretfully nominate Governor Fine. We
have talked with a lot of folks since the con-
vention and next to commenting upon the
nominations, the subject most discussed was
the spectacle our governor madé of himself
when he interrupted Joe Martin during his
speech and when he mounted the platform
and almost shook the moderator’'s teeth
loose, demanding an adjournment. If he
didn’t realize the public was watching, he
must by now. And the public reaction to his
behavior is not good, if folks right here
\ are any criterion.

For the first time in many years, Lan-
caster County's delegates were on the band-
wagon from the start. It was thrilling too,
to be able to watch and identify two of our
good friends, Hensel Brown, of Lancaster,
and Bill Moore, of Chester County, as they
cast their ballots during the polling of dele-
gates. Then later Dr. Howard Witmer, of
Lancaster, was interviewed—and sounded
mighty natural, too. Just as though he was
handing you one of his little packets of
sugar-pills.

Tarn The Fan Thisaway
We don’t know whether the climate here
is changing or not (we'll have to page
Sam Miller) but we do know that these tor-
rid spells hit us this summer more abruptly
than ever before in our recollection. The
other morning, for example, we were chilled
have the thermometer outside the office go
shooting up to ninety by noon.
It’s naturally hard for the body to adjust
itself to such sudden changes and when you
couple with the heat, the durndest humidity
you can find anywhere in the country, it’s
not hard to understand why Miami, of all
places, reports a big summer tourist busi-
ness this year.
Trouble is that by the time you get south,
the weather here changes back to a brand
mighty hard to beat anywhere. Guess we'll
just have to try and keep cool and col-
lected, ain't? %
In this day and age of everything me-
chanical and automatic, it's a pleasant re-
spite to see the actors face to face (within
tomato-throwing distance, so to speak). So
the other night we hied ourselves up to
Gretna and enjoyed the play. Stock plays
of this type date back scores of years but
we never fail to be thrilled by entertain-
ment of this kind. And then to go back
next week and see last week's villain en-
acting the role of hero, that kind of stuff
you just can’t beat anywhere!

How Much Is A Billion?
Here's one from Brevits which crossed
our editorial desk this week and which we
deem worthy of repeating: “If a person had
started in business in the year A.D. 1 with
a billion dollars capital, and if he had man-
aged his business so poorly that he lost
$1,000 each day, in 1952 he still would have
enough capital left out of his original bil-
lion to continue in business, losing $1,000
a day, for almost an additional 800 years,
or until the year 2739. The U. S. National
Debt on July 5, 1951, was $254,652,514,-
692.28.”
* * *
Bits (’ Business
Life insurance in force reached a record
$253.1 billion at the beginning of this year.
With 210 million policies in force theré is
family . . . This may partially explain why
Metropolitan Life Insurance has replaced
the Bell Telephone System as the country’s
largest business . . . Consumer income dur-
ing April ran at an annual rate of about
$259 billion compared with an annual rate
of $245 billion in the same 1951 period . . .
Cigarette output will be an estimated 421
_ billion cigarettes for the fiscal year ended
June 30—up three per cent over the previ-
ous fiscal year.

OWL LAFFS
BY A OWL
Here we are, plugging away in the midst
of vacation time, while everybody and his
brother are swimming at the shore, motor-
ing here and there, fishing in Canada, or
just loafing about. Of course, I'd much pre-
fer going when it's cold, but by that time
everybody's settled down to work and they
think I'm crazy when I suggest a vacation.
Anyhow, I never get one.
* * *
One of these hot nights that you can’t
sleep and you want to make your wakeful-
ness worthwhile, just sit back, real quiet
in the doorway, and watch the usually so-
phisticated young girls and new matrons
walk home from the last show or a late
canasta game, in the quiet darkness IN
THEIR BAREFEET. - - - - It's the America
of yesteryear, clean and wholesome, before
unrest and dissatisfaction took hold.
* * *
It sure pays to get up in the morning,
not the early bird who catches the worm,
though, cause confidentially 1 don’t have a
hankering for worms, but in the early hours
of dawn I saw an embarrassed local garage-
man tote a can of gasoline downtown to his
disabled automobile. There's no reason why
I should add to his misery by divulging
his name. He'd never live it down!
* * *
Speaking of automobiles reminds us of
“Prince” Albert, one of the attendants at
Auments. The other day a car pulled in
there and when the driver complained it
wouldn't run, Prince took a look at it and
told him he needs a new fuel pump. So, he
called garageman Norm Heisey, who
promptly came up and inspected the car.
Chen he turned to the men and said: “Try
putting some gas in it, then it'll run.”
* * *
Sunday my wife came in from a drive
and announced: “I scratched the front fen-
WISE
der a little. If you want to look at it, it's
on the back seat. - - - - Nice goin’!
* * *
Jimmy Markley wrote us that he had a
bunch of sharpshooters out hunting, when
one of them called that there was something
{dead in the road with three stripes. A PFC
called out: “Let it lay, it’s either a skunk
or a sergeant.”
* * *
Bill Enck was watching the Republican
Convention on television while they were
calling out the states and delegates’ names
in alphabetical order. The next one up was
Wyoming and Bill exclaimed: “Why they're
not in alphabetical order! They called Y-
oming before Washington.” - - - - Will
someone please enlighten him?
* * *
A Florin lady went into Wolgemuth Inc.
and told them she wanted to buy an electric
washer. “What type do you prefer?” the
clerk asked. “I'm not particular,” she re-
plied, “just so the machinery is sealed in
so the old man can’t get at it.”
You know there's an awful lot of wives
around here who turn the handle when
their husbands’ noses are against the grind-
stone.

John Shelly visited friends on the east-
west coast of the Big Chiques Creek on
Sunday . . . . I'll bet you thought we
| wouldn't put that in, didn't you?
The girls of toddy have an awful good
excuse for not learning to cook. They have
to wait until food prices come down, cause
right now food is too expensive to experi-
ment on.
[ bumped into a terrific domestic quarrel
last night, and as I stood at the screendoor,
the wife stormed: “You crook! you liar!
you cheat! you didn’t tell me before we
| were: married that you were a drunkard, a
thief, a wife beater and a no-good loafer!”
“That makes us about even,” her husband
replied wearily. “You didn’t tell me your
mother was planning to live with us.”

Did you ever stop to thing that many a
supposed big shot is nothing but the noise
from a small air gun? - - - - If you haven't,
look around and listen.

A traveling salesman from down Salunga |
way, disgusted with his unproductive area 'f8
wrote the following message to his home
office: “If Joe Stalin wants more territory, |
he can have mine.” |B
Sit back and relax, now. This heat can’t
last much longer — say about 50 or 60
days.

the experience wisely. :
