LATE BULLETIN: I have just
learned that Stalin has had his se
cret service men over here trying
to find out who cut the sleeves out
of his US Lease-lend vest
A G-I I was talking to about it
stated that he had no idea for the
suit he was able to buy when he re'
turned to his home country after
winning the war for the “Furrners'
didn’t even have a vest
And talking about cutting things
up: Look what the women are doing
today They cut the toes out of
their shoes and most of the tops off
paint their toenails red go bare-
legged and then stand in line and
fight one another for a pair of ny-
lon hose
If what a radio commentator said
is true it wont be long until worn'
en will forget nylons and wearing
plastic stocking
I am afraid tho that this plastic
idea is going to strike a snag Plas-
tic stockings may be all right to
look at — something like those plas-
tic legs you see displayed in show
windows of ladies’ wearing appar-
el stores — but they won’t be the
real thing? ? ? ?
No Siree! I believe the women
will either demand nylons or go
barelegged
One of the mysteries of my life
baa been solved My wife gave me
an axe for Christmas and I wonder-

fed just what for? I have decided
that she thinks I need “an axe to
grind”?
Gardening time has arrived As
you drive over our city and out thru
the country you will see men and
women busy with spades hoes and
Takes cleaning up their yards the
flower-beds and planting gardens
I wonder why the people in the
foreign countries who are looking
to us for a “grub stake” can’t do
the same thing — lots of those coun-
tries are very fertile land and are
situated in a warm climate where
they should now have a crop com
ing on just like we are having veg
etables shipped up from our South-
ern states— Oh Well as long as we
sre chumps enough to raise the
foods and give it to ’em — they
should worry
Now I like dogsl I think s dog
makes a good pet and a lot of other
folks think the same thing— but
I don’t like doga In my flower beds
and neither do a lot of others who
don’t keep dogs So you folks who
want doga for pet why not keep
them at home— a dog that traspes
all over town isn’t of much benefit
aa a pet
All I have to do is to vote for
subsidies to end veterans’ housing
worries Tony tells me as he waves
the scissors
“Did you e' er see an ’Indian
kitchen?" I ak him He says No
“An ‘Indiin kitchen’ is nothing
but a pile of c’am sheila and fish
bones’’ I tell him “Sea-goin’ Ind-
ians eat clnnn and fish and toss the
leavings over their shoulders Pret-
ty soon thete’s really a smelly
pile
‘That’s the way it is with sub-
sidies Subsidies keep taking money
from the public treasury and debt
piles up You’ve got to clean up
that debt somtlime Somebody has
to pay back the money
Tony stops snipping “Who has
to pay?” he a ka
“You-me-i’ie veteran-all us
taxpayers” I ‘eply “And the taxes
we pay tomorrow will cost more
than any sub idies we got today”
Tony straightens out a hank of
hair with his comb Why do we
need subsi lies anyway he wonders
“Well the folks who have been
running the government for awhile
figure subidiea would bust prod
uction loose" I say “They got
ceiling prices so low that brick
makers and lumber manufacturers
can’t operate They figure the easy
way to get them in operation is to
dole out some more of the taxpay-
ers money They say To heck with
tomorrow’s taxes let’s keep the
ceilings”
Tony doesn’t say anything He
finishes me up in a hurry But all
of a sudden while he’s brushing
off my coat he busts out laughing
’Hey Mr Senator election
coming up this fall right?”
‘Right” I tell him
“Ho! Ho! I bet you know what
those veterans do Hal I bet they
elect people to the government who
know you got to have more to a
house than a ceiling ”
