here on he's going to be very
careful of his vocabulary mno
matter where he is. He still in-
sists that that chair would nev-
er have slid out from under him
in front of the Fire House last
Wednesday if the Powers That
Be hadn’t taken a hand to show
him he couldn’t use that kind of
language in the presence of a
minister (It's only fair we tell
you that Wilson had no idea the
gentleman was a minister. He
was most embarrased when he
learned his identity).

“People

“Bill” Waltz says:
who make no bones

A Mount Joy Street woman
had frowned at her husband for
days. Then like a burst of syn-
shine from a cloudy sky, she
smiled.
“Does thal mean you forgive
me, honey?” har husband asked.
“Don’t be silly,” she replied.
“I was just resting my face.”

Still it’s not much fun to save

world cruise and then discover

One of Henry G. Carpenter's
employees is very fastidious —
everytime she uses onion skin
paper she chews chlorophyll

A local abseni{-minded mers
chant walked into Detwiler’s
barber shop, seated himself in|
the chair, and said, ‘Haircut,
please.”
“Certainly,” replied Joe, “but
would you mind removing your
hat?”
“Oh, I'm sorry,” replied the
merchant, “I didn’t know there
were ladies present.”

tell the truth.
A fellow from Florin was
telling us of a “shrewdy”’ he
pulled in Reading last week.
He had taken a taxi, only to
discover as he neared his desti-
nation that he had no money in
his pockets. He shouted to the
driver, “Stop!” and jumped out.
“I just want to get some match-
es in this store so I can locate a
$20 bill I dropped on the floor
of the cab.” And just as he had
expected the cab sped away
when he entered the store.

To argue with a fool is
proof there are two . . ..
Three guys from our com-
munity thought up a new game
for weekends. They rent a hotel
room out of town and each one
brings a quart of bonded whisk-
ey with him. They sit and drink
for one hour, then one of them
gets up and leaves. The other
two have to guess which one
left.

says it is his job to keep women
eternally dissatisfied.
Russ Sumpman, Elizabethtown
musician was practicing on his
horn late at night when the
landlord came in. “Do you Know |
there's a little old lady sick up- |
stairs?” asked the landlord.
“No,” answered Russ. “Hum
a little of it.”

In the old days, a “fool and
his money were soon parted.”
It's hard for a smart man to
hold on to any of it these days.
Fixing prices isn’t
help anything; it’s
that’s broke.

Will you help save 38,500 |
lives in 1954 and help stop need-
less injury to 2,140,000 persons? |
If the above strikes you as an |
unusual challenge you need to |
read a booklet we just received |
from The Travelers Insurance |
Companies. Entitled, “The Pas- |
sing Scene,” it is their annual |
publication of traffic accident]
data in wilrich
staticians have |
analyzed the traffic safety pic-
ture in 1953.
You, would learn that 38,500 |
people were killed and 2,140,- |
000 were injured by motor ve- |
hicle accidents last year. Leaf- |
ing through the booklet you
would find out why 1953 made |
tragic history as the most disas- |
trous year for traffic accidents]
ever experienced.
The report makes it clear that
most of last year’s accidents
need not have happened. Most
of them were caused by drivers |
and pedestrians who could have
prevented the circumstances
which led them to disaster.
The
conclusion is clear and
the challenge is unavoidable.
Only those who do the driving
and walking can keep the traffic |
problem under control.
Yes, you can help save 38,500 |
lives in 1954 and can help stop |
needless injury to 2,140,000 per- |
sons. |
Will you? |

Letters To The Editor
The following letter was re-
ceived by Miss Nan Barto, East
Main Street:
March 24, 1954 |
Dear Miss Barto, {
Over here in Korea we have,
had wonderful Christmas par-|
ties for the last two years, |
whereby literally thousands of |
Korean children have been
helped and made happy.
However, we would like to]
set into motion a program
which will bring aid and happi- |
ness, not only during one par-
ticular season, but during the]
whole year through. We feel
sure you agree with us upon]
the worthiness of such a
gram.
To be able to accomplish this|
upon the |
persons
pro-
we will need to call
generosity of such
yourself for assistance.
as |
It would |
mean your church or lodge, any |
organization or group, sending |
monthly or even quarterly do-|
nations of food, clothes and
money for use and distribution.
The articles most needed are
still much the same warm cloth-
ing, for all ages, towels, soap, |
baby articles, and of course toys |
and color books, etc., for the
little tots. The truth of the mat-
ter is that almost anything you
can send can be utilized. The
need for Korean aid has not les-
sened with the cease fire.
Here is another way you can
help. Perhaps you know some
one on the staff of the local
newspaper who would like to
print this letter in their paper |
so your friends and neighbors
éan send some packages also.
Perhaps local schools |
would like to adopt this as a|
school or classroom project. |
Your Church Sunday
School might wish to help in|
this also. There are so many
ways and so many people who
would co-opera.e if they knew
about this program.
The 335th Ordnance Battalion |
is sponsoring three orphanages |
in the little town of Heunde.|
The needs here are very great, |
suffering being in some cases
most severe. The Battalion has!
done much to aleviate such suf-
fering, but there is much more |
we can do if you will help us. |
In order for the packages

and
to |
reach the correct hands please
eddrass the packages and/or]

“We need a

fraffic cop?’
Check any average
American family and once
ina while, someone's going to say, "We need a telephone
traffic cop in our house.”
That's because the telephone so completely serves the
interests and activities of all ages.
So for the best service in your own home, treat your
telephone as if it were a “family it
sharingly! You'll be glad you did. ~~ -
