PADUCAH, TEXAS
half a dozen puzzled subscrib
ers
get a paper last week (there
wasn’t one, in case you’re won-
dering, too). This leads us to
the encouraging belief that peo-
ple are reading the papers bet-
ter than they used to, since
about a dozen calls during the
holiday season used to be the
minimum, despite announce-
ments the previous week or two
that there would be no paper
the week after Christmas.
However, we sympathize com-
pletely with people who are al-
ways missing some item in the
papers. We’re one of them.
Hardly a week goes by when
we’re ~ not forced to admit re-
luctantly, “No, I guess I missed
that’’ to some query like “Did
you see in the paper the other
day where a flying saucer from
Venus landed on the White
House lawn?” And the puzzl-
ing part of it all is that the
stories we miss always seem to
be the ones with the biggest
and blackest headlines. Wheth-
er this stems from a love of
trivia or a Milquetoast person-
ality that shrinks from blatant
headlines, we haven’t figured
out.
Anyway, it’s practically in-
evitable that some day, some-
body is going to ask us, “What
do you think about the war?”
and we’ll have to say “What
,war? And then we’U feel pret-
ty silly when they reply, “Why
it’s all over the front page in
this morning’s paper.” But if
you want to know what Ann
Landers said this morning or a
good two-letter word for the
Egyptian sun god, just try us.
So be of good cheer, near-
sighted friends. We don’t mind
all your questions about things
that were in last week’s paper.
Come on down some time and
we’ll talk over all the good
stories we’ve missed.

Both our State and National
governments will be in legisla-
tive session this year; the U. S.
Congress has already convened.
One of their major problems
will be an old one — raising
more money to care for in-
creasing costs of government.
Especially is this an immediate
problem for Texas.
World unrest will certainly
be one of the major problems
with which our national Con-
gress will be confronted,
as average individuals,
the dominance of
weekly allowance,
certain to devise a credit card
system so that parents can be
billed once a month. What are
we saying?
