rpHEY SAY that on President Johnson’s recent trip to A South Vietnam, a GX accosted him and demanded, { “Say, aren’t you Lyndon B, Johnson?** “I sure am,” grinned ; the President. The GX ; exclaimed, “Man, that’s -what I call a draft

board!” • • •

•niis story comes from Justice Lawrence Wittig, of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. An ardent college student was caught doing a bit of .fancy, one-arm driving with a pretty young co-ed. The " judge let him go with a stiff warning when the case came up in court a fortnight later. “Do your spooning on the back porch ’ later,” concluded the judge. . .. . . “One-arm driving is responsible for over half the accidents in this town.” The student agreed heartily, then reassured His -Honor, “Stop worrying, sir. I don’t go with her any more.”

OVERHEARD: ___ Xn a supermarket: Lady customer: “Is this soap any good?" Clerk: “Oh, yes, madam. The advertisements speak very highly of it.” In a Hollywood studio: ‘T can read my wife like a book. Trouble is, I can’t shut her up as easily.” Professor to Dean: “Isn’t the campus peaceful m late August —before the protest marches start?” Husband agonizing over a pile of household bills: Henmone, do you realize that if we’d stashed away just ten dollars a week pjar+ing- thirty years ago, we’d still be in debt?” « 1367, by Bennett Cerf.

-Good Old Days (continued from page 2) ship 12, Range 4, and Section 6, Township 12, Range 3. The first store was kept by a man named Fuller. He was followed by Harrison and Richard Grooms, and John William Sandy. There were at one time three dry goods stores, one hardware store, one furniture factory, three shoe shops, one flour and saw mill, one wagon factory, three shoe shops, one livery stable and two hotels. In addition to these, the stave and lumber business was carried on extensively. The stone quarry interests about Cloverdale were so valuable at one time, that a branch railroad was in competition to connect the main line with the Martin quarries, threequarters of a mile northeast from town. Through the instrumentality of Dr. Dyer, a seminary was erected in Cloverdale in 1850, which was carried on for about three years. Prof. William Bray was the first principal, and was followed by N. C. Woodward. The institution was chartered and was organized under promising circumstances. Dr. Dyer, Andrew T. McCoy and John Sandy were the largest stockholders. The school finally failed, because a majority of the stockholders refused to be taxed for its support. A newspaper called The Bee was established in Cloverdale, January 1, 1877, by W. B. Harris. Its publication continued one year. Lyman Nagle established The Local Item April 12, 1878. It was a weekly and added much to the interest of the town.

From time to time it’s fun to put a dish as frankly extraordinary as this South American Meat Pie on your table. While it’s true that rolling and latticing the pastry will require more preparation time, the results, calculated in raves from your family, are well worth the few extra minutes. , Ground beef is the main ingredient in the pie filling mixture. The secret of its moist goodness and rich flavor is the artful addition of canned beef gravy. There is no better way to add extra beefy flavor and retain juicy tenderness than with this bit dl cooking magic. Simply open a can of gravy and you have smooth, full-flavored, good gravy right at your finger-tips. Embroider the robust taste of this hearty mixture with green pep-

« per, tomato, onicn and seasonings.

Ifo serve the pie, slice it into wedges. Spoon over each serving ^orae of the remaining gravy, dressed up with sliced olives and

baa’d cooked eggs.

Round out your meal with hearts of lettuce salad, a fruit

dessert, flctfrmBik and coffee. South American Meat Pie

BUSINESS NOTES E.F. Hutton & Co. sees, in an irregular market, certain issues which are likely to progress on their own steam. It cites as evidence the fact that new highs have consistently outnumbered new lows throughout the market’s current softness.

“All roads lead to Rome, It is said; all roads lead also to the Great

American West,” Louis L. Simonin began in French a series for a Paris periodical. *T took the shortest, most direct [road], and hence I write my first letter nearly five thousand miles, from Paris, which I left but fifteen days ago,” he detailed under a Chi-

cago date-line, September 1867.

The liner Saint-Laurent had steamed from Brest to New York in nine days. After four days in New York, he entrained for the West. His first letter, quoted above, included exclamations about the railroad “palace cars . . . too luxurious for a country so demo-

cratic.”

The second letter was from Omaha, be-

yond which lay. “the country of the Redskins, the Far West, whose boundaries retreat every day before the pioneer.” Simonin’s letters, which have been collected anew (The Rocky Mountain West in 1867, published by University of Nebraska Press) are expressive of a fascination the West held for Europeans after 1865; French, Germans, British came as tourists via comparatively fast new ships to satisfy their curiosity about the Red Indians via trains from Omaha that in 1867 ran as far as Julesburg, Colo.
