Folks who are better off in our
town live on the west side of the
railroad tracks. We’ve got a lake
there, and the local park, and
some real nice land.
There used to be a phrase “from
the wrong side of the tracks.” It
meant what you think . . . but
you don’t hear it any more. Not
since Charlie Jenkins came home
with the Purple Heart, and Wil-
lie Wells got the Silver Star.
There isn’t any “wrong side” of
the railroad tracks now!
And that change is going on
all over America... where our

If a cat has kittens in an oven
that doesn’t make them biscuit.
Theres nothing like being able
to adapt yourself to your sur-
roundings—like the applicant for
a job of teaching school in a
mountain district. Asked whether
he taught that the world was
round or that it was flat, he re-
plied, “I teach the round sys-
tem or the flat system-—which-
ever the- trustees want.”

illustration—like the time that
Jeff Davis (the Arkansas one)
was making a speech to a jury
in a damage suit as the result of
a pathetic accident wherein a
little boy’s foot was caught in a
rail and he was crippled by a
train. Governor Davis said:
“His mother looked on as the
mighty engine bore down upon
him, powerless to aid her help+
less boy.”
More than 10,000 Texans
helped produce the woved’s most
terrifying weapon—tre atomic

Then there was the spinster
who said she didn’t need a hus-
band as she had a parrot that

a cat that stayed out at night.
