places like Sears Roebuck

Lyndon Johnson as the best

about the toughest part of it.

lads playing baseball
■out at Champ Bridges Park
are having a big time at it,
and I don’t guess they pay
much attention to things like
this, but I’d hate to be play
ing ball on a team called the
Mets.
I admire the N. Y. Mets,
now, don’t get me wrong.
They fill the important need
for an example of failure.
But don’t put me on a team
that’s trying to win and call
me a Met.
By the way, one young
fellow certainly made a hit
during this, his first season
at the game. He came in
’tother day and proudly an
nounced: “Mama, I made all
the outs for my team today!”

the girl in the suit.
Such philosophy is not
meant to be enlightening, and
I hope it doesn’t start a fuss.

will give forth with coffee,
fish bait and ski wax.
Here’s a beer can that
opens by pullr T a tab off the
top, a juice can that comes a
part at the top when you pull
on a strip of metal, and a
can of food that is its own
cooking utensil.
Things have come a long

is the latest one to go in for

The PO says the numbers
will help make mail service
