Finally, my wife and I found
time for a little trip Slicing
right through the Thanksgiv-
• mg traffic we mute it oy way
of Albuqueique on down to the
much talked about town of
Truth Or Consequences. I did-
n’t gel to stay there long
enough to learn to spell the
name 1 can spell the Truth,
even though 1 may not always
tell it, but that last word you
should check
First off I would like to s,i>
Tin sorry’’ to the town of
Santa Rosa We remembered
It as the town of high gaso-
line, snoopy patrolmen, and i
number of thi worst meals we
could remember. It always
seemed when making this trip
that one almost has to fill
up with gas and usually eat in
that town no matter from
winch direction we start.
Tills time we took sand-
wiches and soda pop, and stop-
jK-d at the last place this
side to fill up Please, Banta
Rosa. I’m sorry I didn’t sec
a cop in at least three miles of
town, and they looked like they
were trying to be helpful.
I never counted them, but it
looked like a dozen new places
to eat, and of all things the
ga-oline prices were cheaper
there than where we filled up.
Bless all the kind folks who
live In that vicinity. Next time
111 let Mother Nature take
care of when we fill up
credit card. Before I could say
"Jack and the Beanstalk ’ he
had sold me $5 00 worth of un-
wanted replacements for my
engine.
Tliis is the third time we
nave been taken by this line
if high-poweied palaver Were
through with being soft. Either
we quit using this card away
from cur hometown or put a
sign on all the gadgets asking
salesmen to lay off.
• • •
Last week we cut our column
In half and had one complainl
so lar that we keep the longer
space Probably many more
wanted It cut still farther
♦ • ♦
On the trip someone remind-
ed me that we should nevir
guess a woman’s age to be ov-
er 40 Not out loud anyway.
• * *
Another dear lady who was
slipping up on 60 put it tills
way; ”1 told my husband that
all our lives we had saved
for the future, and that the
future was here." You know,
she may have something.

Spy Thriller
Is Booked At
Texas Theatre
The most talked-about spy
thriller in America today is
’’The Ipcress File.’’ Produced
by Harry Saltzman, who co-
produced the James Bond
thrillers, "The Ipcress File" is
an outstanding critical and
boxoffiee success everywhere.
Newsweek Magazine hailed
"The Ipcress File" as “A think-
ing man’s Goldfinger.’ funnier
by far than any of the Bond
films and more rewarding, too!"
Time Magazine said “Ipcress
proves again that one of the
primal pleasures of moviegoing
is a tingling, no-nonsense sus-
pense yarn enlivened by hon-
est good humor!"
These are but two of the
many rave reviews the film
received. “The Ipcress File," a
Universal release in Techni-
color and Techniseope. opens
Sunday and shows through
Tuesday at the Texas Theatre
This was our first time to
see the Elephant Butte Dam
It looks plenty fishy to me.
We got a thrill from looking
at the enclosed mountain that
looks so much like the ele-
phant — at least as much so
as the man in the moon looks
like a human.
The natives told us that the
few sheep ranging on the
slopes of this enclosed island
had been there when the water
was backed up around it. I
wonder if this is the truth?

NEWS AND
VIEWS
By J, LOYII RICE
I am writing from Morris,
III., at 10:21 a m , December 2.
About 8:30 this morning my
wife called me from Shamrock.
She gave me the news that
my good friend, Nathan Luin-
mus, had passed aawy. It Is
hard to realize that Nath is
gone. Seems like I want to go
down to Kersh-Griffin Hard-
ware and visit with him awhile.
He was always jolly and
cheered me up just to talk with
him for a spell Now. he
won’t be there.
Strikes me rather forcefully
that one of these days, I won’t
be there either. We are going
down the valley, one by one.
Who will be next? We have no
answer. All we can do is be
ready to answer the boatman's
call when he comes to row us
across the Jordan.
Goodbye for now, Nath. We
sure miss you.
