ANECDOTES Mark Twain, a lover of practi cal jokes, once met a friend at the races. “I’m broke,” said the friend, “will you buy me a ticket back to town?” “Well, I’m sort of broke myself,” said Twain, “but I’ll tell you what to do. You hide under my seat and I’ll cover you with my legs.” This plan was agreed to, then Twain went to the ticket of fice and bought not one, but two tickets. When the train was under way and the supposed stowaway was tucked under the seat, the con ductor came by and Twain gave him two tickets. “Where’s the other passenger?” asked the conductor. Twain tapped his forehead and said in a loud voice, “That’s my friend’s ticket. He is a little eccen tric and likes to ride under the seat.” -iealth, not only for those 5 here, but for their fam- others in the surround- ® try and overcome some of ‘ very emphatic in that we C^Palling facts that were ,®ut in the drafting of men *!si) War II . . .That of hav- of our young men de- \ %sically unfit for military *5{i/^hat good health and phys- tdj could only be obtained '^''■operation of all parties and that such a pro- be a great asset to as well as to our plant, ’act was brought out, that ^l-^*daches, mental attitudei, •I ®f sleep, would naturally ^^‘'yone’s chances of doing we must be men- , oWe are to do better work too many people as a til’"'“fry entirely too much ^ '^'e must not let things up- w ■ • that we must be happy and to do this, we must I (Continued From Page One) ated with southern industry dur ing his entire business career. Be fore coming to Pisgah Forest, he was president of Southeastern Cot tons, Inc., a company affiliated with many of the large cotton mills in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alar bama, and Texas, and serving them primarily in designing, planning, and merchandising their produc tion. In addition to his broad business experience, Mr. Smith is also ex perienced in farming, having owned in recent years a large dairy and grain farm on the eastern shore of Maryland.

Heads Boy Scouts mSSsSSck Samuel Johnson was once irri tated by a man who laughed loud ly and with too obvious apprecia tion at everything the doctor said while attending a small dinner party. Finally, Johnson could stand it no longer and turning to the fellow said, “Pray, sir, what is the matter? I hope I’ve not said any thing that you can comprehend.” Otto Kahn, New York financier, was one day driving through the lower East Side. There he saw I staring him in the face, a large sign reading: “Samuel Kahn, cou sin of Otto Kahn.” Kahn immedi- I ately instructed his lawyer to have the sign changed. A few days lat er, Kahn again drove by the place. The sign had been changed. It read: “Samuel Kahn, formerly cou sin of Otto Kahn.” iTo Launch Final USO Drive Monday F. S.

Although the war is over, the emergency still exists, Mr. Silver- steen pointed out, and the need for the USO is still great. “The pri mary job yet to do is to serve those veterans of the war who will not yet have been released from hospitals or military service by the end of 1947,” he explained, “and the second important phase will be to provide interim activities for the peacetime armed forces until some permanent plan for morale services for the enlarged army and navy has been complet- ^^The county’s USO executWe committee is composed of Mr Sil- versteen, George Wheeler, trws- urer, C.

I thought you might like it— John and Mary had married un der none too happy circumstances and their married life certainly had not been anything to brag about, but after thirty-five years of married life, John came down here to the local judge for an an- nullment, all the folks up here in this mountain settlement were amazed. A date for the hearing was set and when the time came the judge demanded to know the grounds on which John based his demands for a separation. “It’s like this, judge, said John, “I just found that Mary’s pappy never did have a license to carry a gun.” The village blacksmith was be- 1 ing pestered by a youngster who I was considered as not too bright. Hoping to scare the lad away, the smithy held a red-hot piece of iron I under the boy’s nose. “If you’ll give me half a dollar I’ll lick it,” said the simple-looking kid. 'The 1 blacksmith held out the coin. With- 1 out a work, the boy took the coin, licked it, put it in his pocket and 1 walked away. Heywood Broun, when doing a reporting stunt for the New York World, was sent to interview Sena tor Smoot. “I have nothing to say,” the Senator haughtily informed Broun. “I know that,” Broun re plied. “Now let’s get down to the interview.” One night a negro was waiking along Forty-second street in New York, from the terminal to the hotel, carrying a heavy suitcase in one hand and a still heavier valise in the other. Suddenly a hand took hold of the valise and a pleasant voice said: “Pretty heavy, brother! Suppose you let me take one. I am going your way.” The colored gen tleman resisted, but finally al lowed the young white man to car ry the burden. For several blocks they walked along chatting like old friends, “And that,” said Book er T.
