Fifty Years
Today the Sullivan Democrat celebrates fifty years of
continuous publication under the direction of Paul Poynter,
It is .unusual for any newspaper to be published by one man for that period of time. To make the situation even more unusual, in the ninety-three years that the Democrat has been serving Sullivan County, there have been only two publishers having control of the Democrat. The founder, Murray Briggs, started the Democrat in 1854 and published
it continuously from that date until he sold it to Mr. Poyn ter on July 9, 1897.
The Daily Times did not come into being until July, 1905. Before that time it, too, was a weekly newspaper and
had been purchased by Mr. Poynter the year before.
JSffv vonrc ic Ol 1 ati rr flmo tYvv rmn man f r rmKlich a
newspaper. .We, of The Times staff, hope that Mr. Poynter
wm continue to publish the Democrat tor many more years
. Saucers And Mr. Halleck
Maybe the Republicans in Congress can explain how the "flying saucers" work and where they come from. Charles Halleck, who was once a liberal, until he started associating with Ohio's Mr. Taft, said yesterday that the Taft-Hartley labor law was resopnsible for settling the coal strike. We, however, are inclined to think that John L. Lewis and the operators reached an agreement in snite of the. new
Republican labor control law. Mr. Lewis and i.he operators wrote into their new contract ajiprovision that would eliminate any suits against the union for unauthorized strikes, which the Republicans felt was the strongest point of the new law. TJ HIT TT 11 1 11 l i a. . a
ii ivir. nanecK really thinks that the ialt-Hartley law prevented a coal strike, the country will be listening with bated breath for his interpretation of the "flying discs" that are popping up around the nation.
GOLDBRICKER had a very
interesting visitor at his office yesterday. The visitor was CY PERKINS, a French-Indian, who
is working with the carnival that
is in town. CY is working jn the Snake show. This show and the
Monkey show are the only two family shows on the lot.
CY is near 97 and has been
with the show business since he
was 7. Ninety years of it is a
long time.
He was born on an Indian
reservation in Iowa. At the age of seven he ran away from his
home and joined the P. T. Bar-
num circus, He traveled with the
circus, as a clown, to all parts of the world. He was with the show when it became Barnum and Bailey, and finally became the greatest show on earth. In 1915 he joined the Hagenback and Wallace shows and traveled with them for many years. He was in the train wreck that happened in 1917, when the show he was with and a troop train collided on the rails. His wife and baby were killed in the accident. A few years ago he made BOB RIPLEY'S believe it or not column, by having the third most flexible mouth and jaws in the U. S. He has had some experience in the newspaper business. He worked on Jhe Oklahoma Daily several years ago. '
During the winter months he
has been playing in theatres,
night clubs and other places : of entertainment. Due to his tra
vels he speaks 14 different lan
guages fluently. He joined with the Roaers Greater Shows about
five weeks ago and hopes to have
his own act before long. Here s wishing him luck on the job.
jng on the sidewalk with a hatchet and exclaiming that she was trying to drive the discs away. A rocket expert hints that the discs
are visitors from another planet. Everyone is trying to get into the act. Maybe the truth will be learned sometime.
We believe that these discs could be the answer to the car
shortage. If a person could cap
ture about four of these "saucers" and exchange them with the wheels on a baby buggy they would have a very convenient Vehicle. Just think, no gas, oil, or tires to worry about.
Speaking of cars, JUNIOR and I saw a strange sight last night. We were gazing in the window of one of the Terre Haute auto sales and behold we saw a new SJtudebaker with the steering wheel on the right side. It was probably
for a rural mail carrier.
GOLDBRICKER received a letter from RUTH HINKLE and OLLIE McKEE-, who are attend-
jing'the Teachers Convention in
Cincinnati. They seem to be having a good time. The letter was interesting and perhaps it will be published later.

From" where I sit... Joe Marsh
Fish Bites Woman!
Willie Wells was coming home " from Seward's Creek the other evening with a string of trout, when a stern looking lady (visitor at the , Boxwood Inn) stops him, andells him a man his size could be better occupied than catching fish. y Willie tells her off real goodnaturedly by saying: "Perhaps you're right, but if these fish had kept their mouths shut, they . wouldn't be here." (At that, says .Willie, laughisg out loud, she looked justes if a fish had bit her ! )' . 1 Blabbing mouths never cause
anything but trouble. Nobody w ho knew the facts would ever criticize Willie's right to go fishing on his one day off any more than they'd deny his right to come home to a mellow glass of beer. . . From where I sit, the slower we are to criticize-1-and the quicker we are. to recognize another's tastes, the better well get along together whether . those tastes apply to beer or fishing. ,

One of our local boys came in
to the office while I was talking with CY and CY ask him how old
he thought he was. The boy said,
"Oh, about 54". CY laughed.
Honestly though, he doesn t
look over that.
The Jaycees were out in force
last night clearing off the tennis courts at the park.
Yes sir, it is a fine thing the Jaycees are doing. Many kids around town will have the opportunity to learn the game. .
