that was holding up passage
of the Supplemental Ap

of patchwork lull covering
many areas that were not

I'he bill included $4.5
billion in badly needed

Dear Andy:
The World Book Encyclo-
pedia says that Daniel Boone
was born November 2, 1734
near the site of the City of
Reading but I read some-
where that he was born in
January or February. What
is the real birthday of Daniel
Boone?
According to the book,
"Life of Boone" by Edward
S. Ellis, copyrighted and
published in 1884 by Porter
and Coates. Boone was born
in "Exeter Township, Bucks
County, Pennsylvania, on
the eleventh of February,
1735."
Dear Reader:
It's planting time again, so
dig a big hole in the garden
of your thoughts. Into it put
all your disillusions, disap-
pointments, regrets, wor-
ries. troubles, doubts and
fears and forget them.
Cover well with the earth of
fruitfulness. Water it from
the wells of content. Sow on
top the seeds of hope,
courage, strength, patience,
and love. Then when the
time of gathering comes,
your harvest will be a rich
and fruitful one.
Point Of Law-
Deputy Frank
Dear Frank:
How did the Police get the
nicknames of Cop, Flatfoot
and Pig?
Some people say the name
Cop came from the New
York Police Department
because their uniforms had
large copper buttons. These
buttons by regulation had to
be highly polished and
therefore stood out like a
sore thumb against the dark
blue uniform, thus the name
copper, later shortened to
Cop. The other and very
logical theory is, the
word Cop came from the
early English abbreviation of
Constable on Patrol,
(C.O.P.).
The name Flatfoot speaks
for itself In the early days a
policemen walked a 'beat' for
eight hours, had sore feet,
fallen arches, etc., thus
Flatfoot.
Pig, to many may suggest
a dirty person like the
animal and no one knows
just when or how it got
started, but to me and many
other peace officers, Pig
stand for Pride, Integrity
ana Guts.
Thoughts-for-the-W eek
The reason talk is cheap
Ls because the supply far
exceeds the demand.
Most men owe a large part
of their success to the
Bureau of Internal Revenue.
When you hire people who
are smarter than you are you
prove you are smarter than
they are.
A task worth doing and
friends worth having make
life worth living.
