“It’s very wicked to be shy/’
He whispered in her ear.
He was the owner of the bank,
And she was the cashier.
And when the Old Man told
the stingy Boss that two could
not live on the salary he was
paving him, the Boss offered to
help the Old Man get a divorce.
One man tells the Old Man
he knocks so much he should
get one big boost—you know
where, he says.
The main hot weather am-
bition of lots of folks is not to
have any ambition.

LOSES OUT OF LEAGUE RACE
The Goldthwaite Giants will
be working Sunday to retain
their perfect home record, j also
to stay in the race for the Braz-
os League Championship. The
Giants will be host to the strong
Strawn Flyers, who beat the
Giants on the League’s' Second
half opening day at Strawn.
Strawn won the first half of a
split season, before Goldth-
waite entered, and at the end
of the second half the winner
will play Strawn for the cham-
pionship.
Goldthwaite nosed out De
Leon 3 to 5 last Sunday, behind
the two hit pitching of ; the
Giant’s brilliant curve-ball; ar-
tist, Y. B. Johnson. The score
was tied going into the ninth
inning 2 to 2, when timely; hits
by McLean and Bolton brought
in three runs that put the game
on ice.
The Giants returned to the
State Tournament Tuesday to
play the 7-up Bottlers of San
Antonio. The Giants have won
one and lost one in tournament
play, having been beaten by the
favorites, Waco American Le-
gion, who sent Leroy Jarl, voted
the number one pitcher of the
Southwest Conference in 1947,
against the Goldthwaite' Boys.
, The^Gi'arits certainly appre-
ciate the recent enthusiasm of
so many of their local fans.

Washington, D. C.—National
Commander Paul H. Griffith
has called on the 16,443 posts
of The American Legion to take
the lead everywhere in patriotic
celebrations of August 14, as
the second anniversary of V-J
Day which brought World War
II to a victorious close.
“Let there be a celebration of
our great victory by every post
of The American Legion every-
where,” Commander Griffith
urged in an anniversary V-J
Day statement. “Let August
14th become established as a
holiday marking the cessation
of hostilities of the greatest war
in the history of mankind.”
The national commander
pointed out that the “end of
hostilities marked the close of
the fighting phase of the sec-
ond world conflict, but two
years later we still find our-
selves striving to win the peace,”
“On this second anniversary
of V-J Day,” he said, “Let us
all rededicate ourselves to win-
ning the peace and to building
a strong, peaceful America
and world so that the sacrifices
of those who gave their all will
not have been in vain.”

OLD MAN 100-
(Continued from front page)
ported this to him: Jest before
it rained, on one of the hottest
and driest days in 25 years
here, the spy spied Julian
Evans going down the street
with a package, under his arm,
and asked him what it Was. Bet
you couldn’t guess in a 100
guesses what it was. It'was a
brand new raincoat—bought in
the middle of a dry July.
TURTLE TRAINING—
When Old Man Hunnert is not
busy waiting on the Boss or
thinking up wise and otherwise
sayings to go in this column, he
is now. spending all his idle-
time at a new job—Tame Tur-
tle Training. Now, when the Old
Man moved to his shack at the
far end of town with all them
modern conveniences about 15
years ago, he found an old/ very
aged tame turtle- living under
the house, and all the Old Man
had to do was to throw out some
bread crumbs and Old 100„
that’s the turtle^ would jest
jump 15 feet at a jump until he-
got to* them. Now the Old Man
bought him a stale loaf of bread
and is giving’ Old 100 a work-
out twice a day and expects to
v/in first prize with him in the
Lions Club’s Turtle Race next
Wednesday jest after Apprecia-
tion Day. If you’re figurin’ some
on betting on the race, better
pick the one with the “100” on
his back—jest because he is a
100 don’t mean he can’t run—
he can even outrun Old Man
100, as .young-looking and spry
as the Old Man is. Also you
guys which aim to train some
wild turtles better watch out—
the Old Man has alius heard
when a turtle snaps hold your
fineer he don’t turn loose im
