Wrong- Direction
“She got an idea no man’s good
enough for her.”
“She may be right.”
“She may be left.”
(Texarkana Gazette)
We doubt that the suggestion
Governor Allan Shivers that the state
tax on gasoline be increased by two
cents a gallon and the tax on cigar-
ettes by one cent a package will be
received by the public with any great
degree of enthusiasm.
However, if Texas is to build all
the new buildings for various state
facilities which have been proposed,
increase state salaries and increase
the money spent on public schools,
the additional sums required must
come from somewhere and we don’t
know any place it can be gotten ex-
cept from the taxpayers, who already
are carrying a pretty heavy burden
and whose backs are already some-
what sore. •
Of course, it is quite possible that
some economies might be made in
our state administration with little
or perhaps no detriment to the serv-
ices being rendered to the people. In
fact, a survey was made a few years
ago which indicated that by greater
economy and greater efficiency, $20,-
000,000 could be saved without ad-
versely affecting our state services,
but apparently no effort was ever
made to follow through and put the
suggested economies and improve-
ment in operation.
Now might not be a bad time to dig
up this report, analyze it, and
what economies could be made.
WASHINGTON. — Veterans were
remined ‘today that any Veterans Ad-
ministration benefit payments they
have received need not be counted in
figuring their federal income taxes.
Death benefits to families of de-
ceased veterans also are exempt from
federal taxation, said an announce-
ment from the Veterans Administra-
tion and Internal Revenue Service.
Right and Wrong
Here lies the body of Jonathan Gay;
He died maintaining his right of way.
He was right, dead right, as he sped
along.
But he’s just as dead as if he’d been
wrong.

Worth a Try
A campaigning senator is reported
as confessing, apologetically, to his
audience: “I was born, over a drug
store. On account of the labor and
lumber shortage the year I was born,
only a few wealthy Republicans
could afford log cabins.”

Last Laugh
A man who was fond of playing
practical jokes, sent a friend a tele-
gram, charges collect, which read:
“I am perfectly well.”
A week later, the joker received a
heavy package on which he was re-
quired to pay very considerable
charges. Opening it he found a big

Agile
Some students acquire knowledge,
others develop ingenuity and re-
sourcefulness. Young Johnson was
definitely in the latter class. One
question in his examination paper
read: “ What steps would you take
in determining the height of a build-
ing, using an aneroid barometer?”
To which the young man replied:
“I would lower the barometer by a
string and measure the string.”

AUSTIN.—“A hundred years ago
nobody worried about bursitis be-
cause nobody had it,” said Dr. Hen-
ry A. Hoile, State Health Officer. It
wasn’t until about forty years ago
that there was enough of it around
for it to be given a name. Today an
estimated two and a half million
Americans suffer from the hurting
joints caused by bursitis.
The reason for the big
seems to be found in modern living.
So many things people do—typing,
working adding machines, driving,
handling compressed-air tools, exer-
cising strenuously on weekends—are
the very things that can cause at-
tacks of bursitis. Too, people live
longer nowadays and bursitis most
often attacks after forty when age
weakens tendons.
Between the moving parts of
muscles, tendons and bones there are
cushipns—tiny, flat sacs filled with
an oily substance. These are the
bursae.
As the parts move, the two inside
surfaces of the sacs glide against each
other providing satin-smooth action.
m asa&aC
You or a member of your family
can win a 1955 Chevrolet and a
$1,000 U. S. Savings Bond to boot in
a contest beginning here March 1 un-
der the sponsorship of the Chevrolet
Motor Division and Hasty Chevrolet
Co.
To enter the Chevrolet “Miracle
Mile” contest, you need merely fill
out an entry form, write in 25 words
or less why you would like to own a
1955 Chevrolet and deposit the en-
try in the mailbox provided at i
Hasty’s. Others of driving age in the
family may also enter by preparing
the material on plain paper and at-
taching them to the official form.
Entry forms may be obtained at
Hasty’s.

Besides writing frankly why he
would like to own a new Chevrolet,
each contestant must answer four
elementary questions about the car’s
mechanical features, answers for
which may be found in the contest
booklet, Mr. Hasty said. Entries are
being judged nationally on the basis
of sincerity and originality rather
than writing excellence, grammar
and vocabulary.
The contest ends May 9 and is di-
vided into six contest periods. In
each contest period, 16 new Chevro-
let Bel Air sedans and a sports mo-
del Will be awarded winners, for a
total of 102 cars nationally. Each
winner who has taken a “Miracle
Mile” ride will be given a $1,000
bond.
Hen Out of Luck
Some time later, the two roosters
met and became very good friends.
The hen had no friends and she had
no rooster either. She was all alone
and had to live all by herself.
This story will not be read by any
hens, of course, but if hens could
read, they could learn a good lesson
from this story about the hen who
wanted to rule the roost.—Husbands

MINOT, N. D.—The monkey
more sense than its tormentor.
And the tormentor—a 14-year-old
Minot boy—has this to think over. If
he misses one day of school in the
next six years he can wind up in the
state training school, juvenile court
decided.
The boy, a truant, tossed a lighted
cigaret into a monkey cage at the
Minot zoo to see if the animal “would
smoke it.” The cigaret set a blanket
on fire.
The monkey kept the fire
spreading by dousing the blanket
his pan of water.
VA BENEFITS EXEMPT
FROM INCOME TAXES
Once upon a time, there was a
roost which was not like any other
roost. In this roost, there lived one
hen and one rooster.
The strange thing about this roost
was that it was ruled by a hen. The
hen ruled the rooster.
The rooster was very unhappy. He
never crowed. He never felt like
•crowing because he didn’t like the
idea of being ruled by a hen.
No Fight
One day a strange rooster walked
into the roost. A rooster usually
starts a fight when another rooster
comes into his territory, but not this
rooster. He was a big strong rooster,
but he didn’t feel like fighting. He
just acted as though he didn’t care.
And he didn’t.
Stops Liking Hen
And do you know what happened?
The strange rooster walked off with
the hen. He took her to his roost.
The strange rooster liked the hen,
and he kept right on liking her until
lie found out she wanted to rule his
roost. He didn’t take to the idea of
having his roost ruled by a hen. One
day he walked out and never came
back.

was today named Chairman of the

Not That Long
The bright young thing entered a
shop and approached the counter.
“I want a present for an old gen-
tleman,” she said.
“Yes, miss,” replied the assistant.
“Something nice in ties?”
“No; he has a beard.”
“H’m! Perhaps a fancy vest might
be suitable?”
“No! It’s a long beard.”
The assistant sighed wearily.
“Well, how about carpet slippers?”
