and think.

that there would be no increased

Good thing the powers that be
up Washington way backer! up
on poultryless Thursdays. What
would Thanksgiving, which oc-
curs on Thursday, the 27th. be
without turkey or a big fat hen.
Perhaps it is just as well that
the boys soap up show windows
on Hallowe’en. More clean win-
dows in town, last week than
there has been since last Hallo-
we’en.
Another reason why law en-
forcement is at such a loW ebb
in many parts of the nation is
because too many officers want

All that a nation must do to

Dies At Mt. Vernon
Planned economy didn’t get
far with poultryless Thursday
until it upset the apple cart of
the usual scheme of things in this
country. No market for poultry
resulted in the birds eating grain
that might he saved But eggs
still remain op Thursday don'ts
with government cold storage
houses packed with so many of
an age that renders them nearly
worthless. That, coupled with the
navy advertising for articles the
army is trying to sell, makes this
nation the world’s worst business
man. No wonder taxes are so
high that every third days work
must go for them.

Mt. Vernon Tuesday fo>r W Hen-
