FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER By EDITOR JOHN ANDERSON We took a trip over the Labor Day weekend. It was good to get away: Bet ter to get back. We’re getting older, that’s for sure! Couldn’t help but notice that on the highways today the flow of traffic exceeds the speed limit. We have a cruise control, so we set it right on the speed limit. What happens? Nearly everybody passes us. Especially the little foreign cars. We must recommend that it is a good idea to take a vaca tion occasionally, even if it is only for a day or two. You’ll appreciate your work more if you do. This is the year for pretty tomatoes, and next winter we’re going to miss our sliced tomatoes with our eggs and bacon for breakfast. We have written previously about Cal Carpenter’s fine ripe and green tomatoes, and the beauties that Joe Free man has brought ns, but Wed nesday we got the largest of the season. It was sent in by Andy Tip ton, who lives on the Coun try club road opposite the high schooL Andy’s weighed a little over two and one half pounds and measured 17 inches in circum ference. He had one vine with five others almost that large. Andy says the whopper is an Oxheart, a German Va riety. It was a beauty! From the Biblical Recorder .... This description of a grand mother comes from an eight year old boy. "A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own; so she likes other people’s boys and girls. Grandmas don’t have anything to da except to be there. If they take us for a walk, they slow down past pret ty leaves and caterpillars. They never say, “Hurry up.” Usual ly they are fat, but not too fat to tie our shoes. They can ans wer questions like why dogs hate cats and why God isn’t married. When they read to us, they don’t skip words, or mind if it’s the same story again. Ev eryone should try to have a grandma, specially if you don’t have television, because grand mas are the only grownups who always have time.” Borrowed ... Wife to husband on Christ mas morning: “Yqu darling, you gave me just what I need to exchange for what I want.” —☆— One way to keep young lads from getting on the wrong track — use better switching facilities. ☆ They keep saying they’re going to do something about junk mail — and yet every year those income - tax forms show up. —☆— Quite a few of the boys were excused from school early on the day of the senior prom. They were having their hair done. —☆— It’s fortunate that we have freedom of speech, but it’s unfortunate that the supply usually exceeds the demand. According to Dorothea Kent * in American Legion Magazine, ' here’s the way to pick a chauf feur: ( A wealthy landowner in Eng land advertised for a chauffeur. From the letters of application ' he selected the three most promising men. When they ar rived for the interview, he took | them to the top of a cliff near his home. He asked each how close he could drive to the pre cipice. The first man boasted that he could drive within a few inches. The second man more mod estly estimated that he could drive within a couple of feet. The third man, unnerved by the whole idea, gulped and said he wouldn’t care to drive within a mile of the place. He got the job. Joke of the week . . . Wife: “Oh, I’m so misearble. My husband has been out all evening and I haven’t the faint est idea where he is.” Comforting friend: “My dear, you musn’t worry. You’d prob ably be twice as miserable if you did know.” —☆— And we also like . . . What is the difference be tween primitive and modern men? When a wife talks too much, a modern man goes to his club. A primitive man just reached for it. "LINE BOOK REVIEWS" FROM THE TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY LIBRARY FOR FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY “Books are not men, and yet they are alive.
