The Loss of hundreds of live?
in the small mining town of Buf-
falo Creek was sad but if the re-
port that the state refused to al-
low tbem to relieve some of the
pressure because of the danger
to the trout in the streams proves
true, somebody should have a
tot of trouble sleeping. Ecology
is a popular wagon to climb on
but to endanger the Mves of hun-
dreds of people is not using the
ok) noggin.
President Nixon's return will
signal the return to political
tamppigrang in full force Mr.
Nixon's trip will help his foreign
policy image which was suffering
before the trip but is shining
brightly now.
Ijeap year is supposed to make
• the girls more forward and en-
able them to pop the question
during the year, but this is a
custom that is phasing out since
the advent of woman's lib. The
pirls in grade school don't know
anything about this popular
movement, but they certainly
seem to have the upper hand in
the early morning football came
between the boys and girls. Some
day someone will tell the little
gjrls that the sport is too rough
for them, but until then they
will dish out a lot of punishment
to the "stronger" boys.
Someone may have a surprise
this week if they picked up a
dachshund along the roadside
If they failed to notice the tew
sagging stomach they will be in
for a rude awakening as time
progresses A reward is being of-
fered, but I'll bet the owner may
find the pet returned with no re-
quest for a reward.
It is a bad sign when your non-
roll waistbands in your slacks
start rolling and sales cleriks look
at you and ssy "I don't think
we have any that size," when
you try to purchase new ones. I
don't think the home-made bread
that the wife is making is the
answer either.
