A man asked the prices of a cer-
tain cigar.
“Two for a quarter,” the clerk re-
plied.
“I’ll take one,” the man said, and
the clerk took 15 cents.
Just then another man walked up,
gave the clerk a dime, and said: “I’ll
take the other one.”
“Did you learn anything in school
today?” the proud father asked his
son after he returned from his first
day in school.
“I guess not,” the lad said. “I gotta
go back tomorrow.”

The barber looked down on his
barren head.
“Frankly,” he said, “I could cut
your hair if you put your hat on.”
The word “porphyry” originally
meant “purple stone” and was ap-
plied to stone from Egyptian quarries
mined for use of the Roman Emper-
ors.

Emperor Hadrian of Rome passed
laws in 125 A. D. regulating the sup-
ply of hot bath waterjfor miners and
making the baths available to the
women while the men were working

Transistorized television sets pric-
ed at less than $150 were introduced
last week in New York by Emerson
Radio and Phonograph Corp., it was
announced.
The new 11-inch sets contain tran-
sistors manufactured by Texas In-
struments, Inc., of Dallas, which
worked jointly with Emerson on the
innovation.
Benjamin Abrams, Emerson board
chairman, said that “by 1965 one-
third of all television sets produced
in America will be transistorized, and
by 1969 the entire industry will be
dominated by the products.” He pre-
dicted that low power consumption,
true portability, and cost savings in
transistorized receivers will promote
their demand by consumers.
On election day a man in a little
Russian village was given a sealed
envelope at the polling place and told
to drop it into the ballot box. He
started to tear it open when one of
the Russian overseers ranted, “What
are you doing?”
The man answered, “I only wanted
to see for whom I’m voting.”
“Are you crazy?” the official said.
“This is a secret ballot!”
During the famine of 1315 one-
tenth of the inhabitants of Ypres in
Belgium died of starvation.

Patrick had just come through a
long and arduous operation, during
which his heart had stopped beating
briefly. He was describing the sensa-
tion to his doctor.
“I knew I wasn’t dead, Doc,” he
said, “becouse I was thirsty and my
feet were cold.”
“I don’t understand, Pat,” the doc-
tor queried. “How does that prove
anything?”
“Well, it’s like this,” answered his
patient, “If I’d gone to heaven, I
wouldn’t be thirsty— and if I’d gone

A baldheaded man wearing horn-
rimmed glasses walked into a barber
shop the other day, picked up a mag-
azine and sat down to await his turn.
He took the magazine with him when
he got the nod to get into the bar-
ber’s chair.
The man took off his glasses and
held them uncertainly in front of his
face, trying to squint through them
to read the magazine. At length he
gave up.
“Can you cut my hair if I put my cold.”

A trucker was sent a telegram in-
forming him that his ticket had won
$100,000 in a big sweepstake. He hap-
pened to be at home nursing heart
trouble, and his wife opened the tele-
gram. Fearing the sudden news might
-cause a fatal shock to her husband,
she asked the family doctor to dinner
and requested him to impart the good
tidings with professional tact. After
dinner the doctor drew his patient to
one side.
“How’s tricks?” the doctor began.
“Things could be better, I could
use a few hundred dollars,” said the
trucker.
“Well,” smiled the doctor, “you
have a sweepstake ticket. What
would you do if you won a thousand
dollars?”
“Nobody ever wins,” the man ans-
wered with a sigh. “But if I won I
would send my family to the seashore
and pay my debts.”
“What would you do if you won a
hundred thousand?”
The man looked up. “Doctor,” he
said solemnly, “I swear I would give
you half of it.”
The doctor gasped, opened his
mouth, and dropped dead.

A multimillionaire who had made
his way up in the business world the
hard way from a childhood of pov-
erty was on his deathbed and passing
on some last-minute advice to his
only son.
“My boy,” he said, “I owe my suc-
cess to two principles; honesty and
wisdom. Honesty is if you promise
to deliver an item, no matter what
happens, even if it means bank-
ruptcy—deliver!”
“I’ll try to remember that, Dad,”
replied the boy. “And what about
wisdom?”
“Wisdom is simple,” answered the
father. “Just don’t make any prom-
ises!”
