I've envied garden olanters
and all people with green
thumbs, but even more so
since groceries, along with
everything else, began to in-
crease in prices at a more
rapid pace.
But Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, when temperatures
dropped below freezing, I
was glad I hadn't expended
the energy (there's a shortage
on that too) and the time to
till the soil, plant the seeds,
etc. Most gardens, at least
those that weren't covered,
were destroyed by the cold
weather, at least in part.
In talking with a couple of
farmers, we understand the
cold snap didn't help wheat
much, either.
Stock show winners named
The low temperatures also
affected the attendance at
the annual Livestock show he-
re Saturday.
However, the exibitors were
all in attendance, along with
their entries, and went throug]
with the show.
And the winner of that pro-
cessed hog was also present.
MarkWrede v/as the lucky
person.
The local chapter gives a -
way 200 pounds of processed
pork annualy.

On the subject of badness,
this country's welfare pro-
gram is an extravagant dis-
grace.
Admittedly, many welfare
recipients are legitimate and
deserving, and those of us
more fortunate should help
. liojm. But.the frauds are
coming rampant.
My initial thought was to
take half the people off wel-
fare and give them jobs in-
vestigating thed remaining
half.
On second thought, that
would not work, because the
government would then have
to hire investigators to invest-
igate the investigators, and
later conduct an extensive
survey to determine why the
plan did not work.
++++++++++
It used to be that a big autc
mobile was the sign of a man
who had come a long way.
Now it's the mark of a man
who isn't going very far.
■I ++-H-H-I + I
The grim category of mid-
dle age officially catches up
with people sometime in the
40's. It is, to say the least,
a depressing experience to
start thinking that over half
your life is probably gone.
But don't despair, you may nc
have tired blood after all.
