Hull looked at the sheep in-

“Yes, they have,” he remarked,
“Sheared on this side, at least.”
On his 100th birth anniversary
Uncle Timothy was being asked
some questions by a reporter
from the- weekly paper in his
town. After j;he usual list of
questions, the reporter branched
out a little in an attempt to learn
from the old man his formula for
longevity.
“Do you smoke or chew,” asked
the inquirer.

“What form of regular exer-
cise do you take to keep so spry

“Exercise!” snorted the cente-
narian, “The only regular exer-
cise I ever take is acting as pall-
bearer for my friends of 65 or 70
who burn themselves out taking
regular exercise.”
Young men think that old men
are fools; but old men know that
young men are fools.
-—George Chapman
Nobody in 0:;r Town is exactly
lazy (even tkcru;h Pete Swanson’s
mississ claims he sleeps till seven
A.M.). But the hardest working
man of all is Doc Hollister—on
call, morning, noon and night.
Funny thing, Doc’s favorite pre-
scription to his patients is: You
ought to have fun. The pace of
modern living, 'every on the farm,
demands some relaxation. •
And as Doc frays—fun is a per-
sonal thing. For the missus it may
mean a movie-or a good book; for
Dad, a mellow and refreshing glass
of beer; and for the kids, parcheesi
or the radio. Doesn’t mean every-
body has to like the same thing—
so long as they relax, have fun, to-
gether, in the home.
Doc doesn’t have much time him-
self. After a hard day, he’ll relax
before the fire with a glass of beer
—and wait for the phone to ring
again. And from where I sit, Doc
deserves each well-earned minute
of that relaxation.

To My Friends
l want to thank all of you who have responded
to my letter last week asking you to indicate how you
will vote in Saturday’s election on the Red Fish Bay
Navigation District.
Altogether 483 post cards were received in this in-
teresting poll. Of this number 467 voted FOR the Navi-
gation District and only 1 6 AGAINST.
Now the only way to bring this long-needed Intra-
coastal Canal port to Willacy County is to vote for it in
Saturday s election. Please don t stay home thinking1,
theie is no need to vote. Let s all vote and sho’w the
world that Willacy County is on the march, FORWARD!

Stat£ under Franklin D. Roose-

the trying early days of World

fact. He deplored exaggeration.

tell the story of a time Mr. Hull
and a friend were riding through
the country on a train.
“Look,” said the friend, point-
ing out the window at a large
way and other relatives in San
