Let’s get a little philosophical today. They say that view
point is relative . . . and how true that assertion is. You’ve
oftimes heard people say “You’re as good as you feel you are”,
or “The day is as bright as you want it to be” and probably
have heard many, many other sayings in a similar vein.
Whenever I dwell upon the beauties and the joys in this life
I’m reminded of the following: "Do not act as if you have a
thousand years to live.” So as my little offering for today I
say let’s live life to the full find give others joy and happiness
as we go along the road of life.
This column is offered in a neighborly fashion and if you
have any thoughts you’d like to convey to others, please feel
free to-pass them on to us for publication.

son.
The* Goofy Gobs, Wilbur
Whaley as Singapore Sam and
; “Red” McKibbens as Shipwreck
Kelly, are comedians who cause
■ a tidal wave of laughter in their
: sight gags and hijinks. Their part
of the show is not only worth
i the price of admission, but 1^
i good for a hundred laughs as
