Once a Scout, always a Scout,
as they say.
And having been one, I was
more or less prepared when the
recruiting officer called. I have
become Scoutmaster of Troop
143.
The reason is because I bel¬
ieve scouting makes a valuable
contribution to America’s fut¬
ure. You’ll be hearing from me
frequently on the subject. Meet¬
ing are each Monday at 6:30
p. m. in the Scout Hut, back of
the Health Center in Trenton.
Boys from 11 to 18 are welcome!
In Sunday’s Atlanta Journal-
Constitution, was this story by
Ernest Rogers and I’m sure
Ernie won’t mind my passing it
on here: Seems a man, with
trouble remembering things,
went to a psychiatrist for help.
“Doc,” he said, “I simply can¬
not remember things. Some¬
times I forget where I live,
where I work. Why, I even for¬
get my name.”
The psychiatrist said: “Well,
now we’ll have to do something
about that.”
‘Do something about what”
said the man.
We hear there was quite a
glebration in Moscow the other
ay when the Kremlin an-
ounced that a Russian rocket
ad hit the moon. The wild
beering ceased when the crowd
?alized the announcement said
moon,” not “Goon,” and Mr. K.
till was their leader!
Speaking of Mr K.
If the Washington crowd
eally wants him to see how to
row things, other than corn in
owa, they ought to bring him
own to the State of Dade for
peek at our tomato operation.
We drove up to the old New
ngland School to look at the
ew modern method of market-
ig tomatoes the other day and
?e learned some things.
Federal Inspector Ellis Du-
ree was there. He proved that
e knows his business.
Handing us four tomatoes, all
f which appeared to be perfect,
,e said. “These tomatoes are not
larketable ... bad quality . . .
ave worms.”
I wondered what sort of joke
bis was.
Then he cut the tomatoes and
ure enough nested inside three
f them were big fat worms.
Close,” he said, “Three out of
Dur.”
I said: “Well . . . well.”
He says that buyers at the

Khrushchev’s Appeal
To Kids is Lacking
Toy department in Trenton
stores did a brisk business Tues¬
day as parents sought ways of
keeping the young set indoors
and entertained.
The rainy weather and Khru¬
shchev were the reasons.
Because of the rain, the kids
couldn’t play outdoors. And be¬
cause of the Russian premier’s
imminent visit to the U. S. all
television programs were made
uniteresting to them.
As far as the kids were con¬
cerned, Nikita could go straight
to tlie moon.
Here’s More Proof—
Want Ads Get Results
Last week we advertised in
our want ad section for Mrs. Roy
Conner an electric range and an
tlectric uiu refrigerator. lcllIBCiawi .
^,j ie a{ j was published Thurs-
p a y E ai -ly Friday morning, the
ad . _____ was cancelled _____■__ because the
appliances had been sold!
Have you considered selling
your old one and replacing it
with a new one? This may be
a good time to do so.
And the cost of the want ad
is awfully low.
