Lions viewed a film and
heard a talk on 'Operation
Mohole," Tuesday noon, which
revealed millions of dollars are
being spent on "off-shor- e"
drilling' for experimental purposes
In comparison to "Operation
Mohole," Dr J. G. Va lighter
and Dr Wm Kemp's drilling
is just about as costly Just
couldn t help but get this little
jibe in, but hope "No Pipe To- -
bacco" Kemp and "Grandfath- -
er's Clock" Vaughter don't take
offense.

Just about the time the mechanical
department completed
printing last week s Free Press,
a big, shaggy dog made his way
into the building through the
back entrance He came by,
sniffing at the presses, stones,
type cases, etc Roger Weath-erfor- d,
printer, seemed happy
to see the dog, and gave the
critter a "first-han- d tour" of
the print shop Roger walked
over to the linotype machine
where Vance Abeldt was setting
type- - He explained the mechanism
of the machine to the
"soup hound." just as it were
a person The dog followed
Roger to the big press from
which the newspaper is printed.
The doggone dog was pretty
smart, as he never did seem
too interested in printing and
after looking the situation over,
he trotted out the back door,
and lay down in the cool shade
of the building The old adage,
"working like a dog," did not
hold true, as he stayed around
only a short while, seeming to
realize the printing industry was
too rough.

Since 'ole Prattler had another
birthday this week. I did
a little reminiscing, and this
little poem came to my mind.
Who wrote it, and where it
came from. I cannot remember,
but it went something like
this:
I wish I were a boy again.
Away back through tho years,
Beyond these days of mist
and rain
The mist and. rain of tears
Away back in the morning
time
When life was oh, how sweet.
And all was making merry
chime
For my light dancing feet.
Tho days were full of light
and Joy,
The nights were full of rest.
And happiness was In a toy,
I hugged clot; to my breast.
The skies wore but a tent of
blue.
And all the stars at night
Were lights from hoaven
shining through
To fill my world with Ught
My heart w light thistledown
Ami laughter rulad the day.
For Ufa had dooaod W gayest
frown
And boile nw romp awl piay.
The roe Woonwnl on vry
tree.
The thrush na for joy.
And all the world wr mmi
for me,
Ught-hearti- A young Hi boy
I wish I wr a boy again.
Away back through the yars.
Beyond rNwe days of mist
ami rain
Tlie mist and rain of tears.

The Jaycees annual Rice
Springs Roundup and rodeo officially
gets underway today.
Thursday, at 5 00 p. m , when
the all-west- parade will begin
winding its way through
the downtown section of Haskell
Immediately following the
parade at 630 p m., a big
barbecue, catered by Beth's AA
catering service, will be held at
the Corral building at the rodeo
grounds At p m sharp,
the rodeo will get underway, so
it appears that plenty of action
will be on "tap" for residents
of this area. Rodeo performances
will be held also on Friday
and Saturday nights, with
the pig scramble Contest as an
added attraction. Better head
for Haskell earlv today, to get
in on all the activities
The Jaycees have spent a lot
of time and money In staring
this year's rodeo, so let's show
our appreciation to the live-wi-re
younjr men by purchasing
rodeo tickets, even if you can't
attend. The new all-ste- el bucking
chutes and new lights cost
a "pot" of money, and Jaycees
will do good if they reak even
on this year's show So podner,
I'll see you at the rodeo.
PreeraatkwHen la the thief
f time, and how many of us
a aiwaya anytaff we'll leek up
the meaning of "procrastination"
tomorrow.

It's almost Impossible for a
single man to save money these
days and a married man
doesn't oven try.

Friday, May 31, will be "mop
and broom sale day" for members
of the Haskell Lions Club.
Both the downtown area and
residential section will be worked
during the day by Lions who
will be selling mops, brooms,
ironing board covers and pads,
brushes, rakes, dish towels and
many other useful household
Items, so when a "Lion" knocks
on your door, treat him kindly
Items of merchandise for
sale are made by the blind
workers in blind shops, or
Lighthouses in Texas, furnishing
them employment on a nonprofit
basis.
Money from the mop and
broom sale will not only .benefit
the Teaa Lighthouse for the
blind, but will also help support
local worthwhile projects
such as "Ooodfellows," which
each year helps less-fortunfamilies
