* - j, No one can say that the citi zens of New Bern and Craven County aren’t putting up a brave front. Who would think this Is Just about the most poverty stricken place In America? In the midst of such famine, we’ll steer clear of serious talk for the moment, and try to bring a smile to your drawn and ema ciated countenance. Perhaps some alleged humor will ease your mlss-neal cramps. Of course. If you’re one of the few eating regularly and suffer ing from Indigestion, It Is nice to know that you can get tem porary relief from this dis tressing stomach trouble by kicking the cat or whipping the children. And here’s some additional advice that may come in handy. If you want a woman to read your letter, send it to her hus band and mark “Personal” on the envelope. Speaking of hus bands and letters, a well-reg ulated husband is one who can’t pass a mailbox without feeling In his pockets. All women are alike, except some are more alike than others. For example, when a woman goes up in the air she usually lands on her husband. And haven’t you noticed that every woman likes a bargain, but dislikes being told that she’s wearing one. „ Something else,' when a man has a birthday he wants to take a day off. When a woman has a birthday she wants to take a year (or maybe several) off, and usually does. It’s too late to warn you males who are already married, but If you’re single keep In mind that It’s dangerous to marry a woman who looks good In black. And remember this, the only way to fight a woman is to grab your hat and run. Haven’t you noticed that noth ing annoys a woman like having her friends drop In unexpect edly to find the house looking as it usually does? And, sad to relate, many a man keeps his nose to the grindstone so that his wife can turn hers up at the neighbors. And another thing, a father Is afraid all young men want to marry hts daughter. A mother is afraid they don’t. Incidentally, you learn sooner or later in marriage that a man Is as old as he feels before breakfast and a woman Is as old as she looks before breakfast. Truthfully, or as a member of New Bern’s most exclusive club should we say half truth fully, all husbands are alike, but they have different faces so you can tell them t^art. The trouble is not what man de- sended from, but what he de scends to. Isn’t it the gospel that a wo man never knows what kind of dress she doesn’t want until she buys It? What she does know, of course. Is that the best com- Unatlon for a woman Is an old head (Inside that Is), a young heart, and a baby face. There’s nothing more exas perating than a wife who can cook and won’t, except a wife uho can’t cook and will. Hon estly, married life Is a nice life for a man to lead If his wife would only let him do a little leading. Of course, If you’re cynical you have probably reached the (Continued on page 8) The NEW BERN f/w *^iDWIIKLY a'* //> 'tTOF VOLUME 9 NEW BERN, N. C., FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1966 NUMBER 2 FLABBERGASTEID—One year old Johnny Smith (son of the J. E. Smiths of Lowland) does a double take as he watches New Bern’s fair sex try on Easter bonnets at a local store. Johnny, quite a dresser himself, is positively bug-eyed at some of the creations that have caused feminine hearts to flutter. When Johnny gets a little more age on him, he’ll learn about the biras and bees and a lot Of other things, but what governs a woman’s taste in headgear will forever remain a mystery. A gal doesn’t select her hat to please a male, anyhow, but rather to make other females envious. So calm your nerves, Johnny, and accept the fact it’s a woman^s world. Flashy though you are in tluit out fit, you’ll be just another overlooked man in the Easter parade.—^Photo by Eunice Wray. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
