Visit The Farm Show
About all we know about farm life is
which end of the cow you milk. Yet we
wouldn't miss the State Farm Show for the
best show on Broadway. And when the
doors of this gigantic display are thrown
open to the public up at Harrisburg next
Monday—look for us!
For that show is a revelation to anyone
not actively engaged in farming. It opens
up new realms of activities many of us
never imagined existed. And the enthusi-
asm with which the contestants, especially
those 4-H boys and girls, tackle their jobs
is eontagious.
Several times we have come away from
the farm show at Harrisburg with the feel-
ing that we missed something in life by
never living on a farm. And if anybody is
unsuited for farmlife, we probably take
our place at the top of the list.
So—if you want a real treat, no matter
whether you know mueh about farming or
noi—take in this greatest of all nearby
shows and you'll thank us for having made
the suggestion.

Small Business Fatalities
The next time you walk down Main
Street, make it a point to stop and take at
least a glance into every shop window you
pass. Those fellows are the life blood of
our community and it’s good to remember
that they are banging away day after day
to make this a better town in which to
live.
That (the above paragraph) is the thought
which came to our mind when we read a
moment ago that in America today, running
a small business of one’s own is a hazard-
ous way of making a living. According to
the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, there were
five and one-half million companies organ-
ized between 1946 and 1951—and half of
these companies had been liquidated by the
end of the latter year.
Those statistics wouldn't hold good here
by any means. And that in itself is a testi-
monial to both the type of town we have
and the type of businessmen here. Let’s
help to keep it that way!

The Dawn of a New Day!
If running a weekly newspaper didn’t
take so many hours every week of the year,
we'd join the gang which will be going to
Washington to witness the inaugural on
January 20th. That, we figure, especially
the ride down and back, is going to be a
lot of fun!
The inaugural, as we see it, marks the
dawn of a new confidence in national af-
fairs. We can sense it right here in town in

OWL
BY A WISE
So now it's 1953!! Well, it won't make muca
difference to me, I've just learned why I never
have any money. An old adage says if you
eat sauer kraut on New Year's Day you'll
have money all year. I always thought that
was an election day dinner, but it seems you-
‘te never too old to learn.

Boy. Oh boy! is Henry G. Carpenter in
dutch with Russ Smellz, our new printer, last
wesk one day. “H. G.” put an “ice” note on the
front seat of what he thought was Russ Kram-
er's vehicle, parked on Delta Street -— “— —
Smeltz, finding the note was pretly angry —

someone would mistake his auto (a brand new
1940 model) for an “ice wagon.”

Here's a spy’s report to his boss that made
me chuckle . .....
“Dear Boss: Have thoroughly investigated
Washington or prospect of bombing. Have
duty to report it is useless. If fliers destroy
one building it is accomplishing absolutely
nothing. — — — — For there are two other
buildings, staffed with Americans doing ex-
actly the same thing.”

A young father was telling: a group of
friends on New Years nite what a bad time he
had when the baby was born. Finally a young
matron inquired “Who had the baby. any-
way?”
The young mad nodded toward his wife.
“She did.” he answered seriously. “But SHE
