Some of the problems of this
country involve the misunder-
standing that we are guaranteed
happiness by living in America.
Yet all we are suppoMd to be
guaranteed is the pursuit of
happiness. If we want it we have
to catch it ourselves. Happiness
can not be handed to us on a
silver platter.

Having a little boy and hoping
for another, the meaning of this
story was close at home. A
mother cleaned her young boy
and dressed him in his Sunday
clothes and told him not to go
out because it was muddy. Ten
minutes later he was in the
middle of an explanation of
why he needed to go outside and
liow he accidently slipped and
fell in the big puddle by the
garage. His mother quietly clean-
ed him and once again reminded
him not to venture out. A few
moments later the same song,
second verse. Muddy, but had a
good reason for going outside,
and accidents do happen The
mother smiled and agreed. She
cleaned her young rough-and-
ready pride. But the wisdom of
her years convinced tier that
third time is charm. She dressed
him again, but with one change.
She put on Sunday best but they
were big sister's Sunday best.
The pretty pink dress served the
purpose well. Not only did the
little boy not get muddy, but
he even stayed in the house until
time for church. Fear comes in
many shades.

Thirty isn't a bad age for a
woman, especially if she is forty.

A lady was b'ind for 35 of her
45 years on this earth and with
the help of new advances in
medical science her sight was
restored What do you think was
the first thing she wanted to soe?
What else but a new-born baby.

Albanyites will have a chance
to see a cattle drive first hand
as one is expected to arrive in
Albany about the first of August
Depending on how much repair
work is needed, they are expect-
ed to stay two nights in the
Pleasure Riders' Arena Forty-
three longhorn cattle started
from San Antonio and have av-
eraged about ten miles per day
on their drive north.
J L
How clever the men of science
are. They have invented ma-
chines that can detest when man
is lying and are quite expensive.
Man was given a machine many
years ago that has the same re-
sults. It was made from one of
Adam's ribs.
