AFTER A FASHION
A motorist was 100 yards away
from an open railroad crossing, pro
ceeding at 50 miles per hour. A
train, coming down the track at
60 miles an hour was 375 feet from
the crossing. Problem: Did the mo
torist get across?
Solution: Yes, the motorist got
across, a beautiful marble cross
purchased by his widow from his
insurance payments.
It always seem to be the case—
the faster a man drives the less
reason he has to get there.

Well, to get started on the news
for this month, Robert Head, Lis
ton Hughey and Bill Cagle have
been on their vacations. Together
they hunted quite a lot, and out
of this hunt comes this particular
story — their dog discovered a
covey of birds and pointed and
then flushed them. Well, while all
this was taking place the faithful
dog headed toward the hunters
with a fine partridge in his mouth.
Robert tells me the only explana
tion he could give was that he was
quick on the bite.
If anyone knows of a house,
please contact Clin Edney as he is
practically homeless right here at
Christmas time,
Cecil Albertson has just re
turned from a short trip to Balti
more and Washington. He reports
