William Clearman, the Blakely
Engineering man, has a novel way of
advertising the line of washing ma
chines and clothes dryers which he
sells,. Each year the manufacturers
of these machines set aside a day
which they call “parents of twins
day.” Any parents who have twins
born on this day are presented a
gift of a new washing machine and
dryer. This year the date was Sep
tember 23, but nobody won in this
section, although Mr. and Mrs.
Bruce Batchelor came dangerously
near, as they became the parents of
twins on September 22, a short six
hours too early to get the prize.
My opinion is that if Mr. Clearman
wants to do the right thing, he ought
to come forward wih a gift for these
near-miss parents. The least he
could do would be to present them
with a scrub board and a zine tub.
Of course, with the stipulation that
Bruce had to use them.
R. U. Vandergrift, the jovial hous
ing project superintendent, had a
series of applicants one day from
men who wanted a foreman's job.
After Brother Vandy had turned
down about 50 applicants, having
already enough boss men, he ex
ploded. “Foreman, foreman, that'’s
all I can hear. Everybody wants to
be a chief. What I need around
here is some Indians.” 1 think Mr.
Vandy is eminently correct, too. This
could be the trouble with the whole.
world. Everybody wants somebody
else to hoe the cotton.
My son Frank, taking note that
this column was tending to drag,
came in with a joke from the fifth
grade which he wants to throw in,
to see if it will liven things up a bit.
He says a boy kept using the word
“ain’t.” The teacher reprimanded
him and told him not to use this word
again, Told him to say isn't instead
of ain't. Pretty soon a couple of
black ants came crawling across the
floor, and the young man exclaimed
to the teacher, “look at those two
isn'ts down on the floor.”
A card came in with an “OM
maid's never-had-a-date™ suggestion
for the Early county fair, which is
probably too late for this year, but
maybe the committee can use it later.
Anyway, here it is and 1 doff my hat
to a lady with a swell sense of
humor:

Center of Popalation
The center of population for 1950
is located 3 miles northwest of Ol
ney, Iluw is—uome 49 miles farther
west than the center of population
in 1940. Th 2 center of population has
moved westward, and southwest
ward, in each successive census
year. The shift from 1940 to 1950 was
the longest in G 0 years. This calls at
tention to the increase in westward
migration during the past 10 years.

A CHECK on th 4
Both the check and the harvest represent pretty
much the same thing:—security during the long
months when money has to be paid out and little
comes in. )
A farmer can maintain a ptetty good ‘‘check’
on himself when he pays by check. He knows
what he has and how he spends it when he main
tains a checking account. He has an automatic
record of payment and an automatic receipt.
And checking accounts build credit for seasonal
needs.
