The Roundup

If we are not careful, we are
going to talk and think ourselves
into a depression. President
Kennedy is of the opinion that
we are in a mild recession and
if something isn’t done, we’ll
have a full-scale depression.
Now, if editors over-editorialized
and commentators and column
ists over-write and over-say in
regards to a depression, the
American public will be brain-
A washed and ready to believe that
a depression is upon us or just
around the corner. There is a
psychological factor in that state
ment and cannot be ignored. So
my advice to you is, forget it,
we are not going to have any
depression we don’t bring on
ourselves.

In New York City a radio
program re-created the details
of a train wreck that occurred
eleven years ago. Wha hoppen?
A flurry of phone calls from
people who thought the wreck
just occurred. Said announcer
Ken Banghart: “I guess some
people just don’t listen care
fully.”; I feel sort of funny
watching, on television, as GE
proclaims that progress is their
most important product and
Westinghouse tells us about bet
ter things for better living. It
just doesn’ jibe with the events
in today’s news; North Carolina
recently received big boosts on
nationwide television, via two
different Andy Griffith inter
views, plus some favorable com
ments on Candid Camera; on lo
cal television, recently, on an
educational television show, a
teacher, in explaining half-life,
Hitting on High?

It’s unfortunate that Ham, the

of his flight. . . or does he?

I’m shore glad customs change. |
In the old days when a fellow |
came down with a spell of sick- j
ness, it was a standing invitation
for the ladies of the community
to barge in, and settle them
selves, in the sick room, around i
drank whiskey from a jug >as an
example to his young students;
will the Governor’s pardoh reach
Ronald in time? Will Geraldine,
speeding through the night rain,

These are things you’ll never
know, since the sponsors can
celled radio soap operas. Ah!
But wait, they’re coming back
after all. On the Mutual radio
network. Tony Marvin will be
the series host; Hertford is com
ing along with plans for a swim
ming pool. What happened to
the indoor pool that was at the
old Marine Base? “The Lincoln
Murder Case” on television last
Saturday was the most absorb-:
ing tee-vee fare in a long, long
time. A program like that could
never be done in Russia, and
that’s one of the simple, basic
differences between a democracy,
and communism; Just finished
over 500 pages of short stories
by James Farrell, offering re-|
markable character studies and
situations, plus great insight;!
CBS goofed last week. TheyJ
kept advertising a visit to the
the bed. There they’d sit and
rock and gossip and knit and
dip Three Thistles Sweet or
Rooster or Railroad Mills. The
poor sick man was usually driv
en frantic, and if he got well at
all, it was in spite of and not
[ because of, all this kindly soli-
I citation. Because the joker in
j the deck was that the ladies
really thought they were angels
of mercy. For they did give the
J poor sick man an occasional
: drink of water. Me—l’ve just
; had a spell of sickness—and 1
when I’m sick, I’m strictly the
lone type. All I want, is to be
! left alone.

this way: “Yesterday, Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Zorin;
expressed lack of confidence in
Secretary General Hammar

the understatement of the month, j
Here, hough, is the sickest quote I
of the month. When someone!
asked that carnival couple why
they “gave away" four of their;
children and kept two, they re
plied: “We had to keep some
of them.”
Movie notes. It cost Disney
$9,000 to build the treehouse
! used in “Swiss Family Robin
son.” How many people recog
nized Hoot Gibson doing a minor
role in “Oceans 11”? Latest
giant-sized science-fiction epic
j was filmed in Longon, and it’s
called ‘Gor.go." The title char-|
acter, though, is just a baby of
!65 feet. Gorgo’s momma is 250
feet tall.

Congressman Herbert C. Bon
ner says that some-time ago it
came to hisi attention that the
armed services were not stocking
peanuts for consumption in the
various'-commissaries and PX’s,
both ' continental and foreign,
which, he stated, was very dis
turbing.
Mr. Bonner immediately con.
tacted the office of the Secre
tary of the Army and other ser
vices with respect to this, point
ing out the food and nutritious
value of peanuts and peanut pro
ducts. Ha urged that these
items be placed on the shelves
of the commissaries and PX's.
Mr. Bonner stated that he was
delighted to receive a communi
cation irom the office of the
Secretary of the Army which
stated that salted peanuts and
other formerly deleted items
will be reinstated and restored
to commissaiy and PX shelves.
The letter specifically pointed
out that a Department of the
Army Bulletin “will advise com
manders of the restoration on
March 1 of these items to the list
of articles authorized for sale in
Army commissary stores.”
