THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“If you want to test your
strength, just try to lift a mort-
°gage.”
*******
Be sure to “save” Friday night
for EHS Homecoming. Our figh-
tin’ Lions are going great guns
and this will be a chance to indi-
cate “Thanks, Lions’” with a
huge crowd at Lion Stadium for
the Homecoming game. It will be
a colorful affair, too, what with
the queen coronation and all.
Don’t miss it!
*******
TODAY’S CHUCKLES
The train came to a sudden
stop. A woman passenger picked
herself up off the floor and ask-
ed the conductor what had hap-
pened.
“We hit a cow,” he told her.
