if it's not your fault.
In this day and age of ev-
ery thing moving at a fast
clip, things might work out
better if we slowed the pace
a little. If you don't believe
it, ask Wayne Gray, head ex-
ecutive of the local Agrico
Chemical plant here.
Wayne had a batch of im-
portant papers the other day,
papers that another executive
of the company wanted in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, pronto.
According to our informa-
tion, W ayne offered to drive
to Tulsa and deliver said pap-
ers, but, accepted the sug-
gestion to "catch a plane"
and bring the goodies.
Wayne departed in the op-
posite direction of Tulsa, by
automobile, to Dallas' Love
Field, and ca*ught a plane,
which was about an hour late
in taking off. But, that's an-
other story. Before boarding
the plane, Wayne departed
with said important papers,
which were supposedly placed
in the luggage compartment
of the aircraft, while he un-
laxed in the usual passenger
compartment.
Barring the late take-off
of the plane, Wayne was in
Tulsa just about on time---
but without the company pap-
ers mentioned previously.
Somehow, the papers went
on to Memphis, Tennessee,
or somewhere else.
Like I said, what with all
this speed these days, some-
times it takes a while for
things to catch up.

Fellows like me suffer a
lot. Almost any word sets us
off on the trail of a pun. We
are not capable of normal
conversation, and we lose a
lot of friends. If you say goat,
we say something about kid-
ding around-and become the
butt of our own joke when you
walk away.
If you say "A birdie with a
yellow bill hopped upon the
window sill, " we'll interrupt
with "cocked his shiney head
and said 'I will not sing till
you pay your bill'."
You see why we don't have
many friends. You could have
said the same rhyme to a wis-
er man, and the pundit would
not h ave punned it.
But those of us who are aff-
licted with the pun disease
can't help ourselves. We just
have to make something else
out of everything we hear.
The lowest form of humor is
necessary for our survival.
That is why we observed
Save the Pun Week, recently.
But don't egg us on or the
yolk may be on you.

ea of the firm, and discovered
a hole cut in the chain link
fence at the rear of the yard,
where the burglar(s) apparent-
ly escaped while the search
was underway. Officers said
they heard a cuvy of quail take
to the air about two hundred
yards back of the firm, and as-
sumed the burglar(s0 were es-
caping across the field.
The Van Alstyne unit came
up the Framington road, and
entered an unpaved road south
of the Farm Supply business,
where the vehicle caught fire
under the hood, officers said.
Officers said the would-be
thieves cut a lock on the fnpnt
gate to gain entrance to the
yard, then started a truck load-
ed with tractors and owned by
the firm, but were unable to
get the vehicle to move. In-
vestigation revealed the thieves
were unable to lock the trailer
brakes on the vehicle, and had
jarred one tractor off the truck
