Editor The cost of living' goes uj> and the bank account gfoes down. A haabajid who had stayed out too late tip-toed into his house and up the stairs, without waking his wife. At the bedroom door he dropiped to bis hand and knees and started to crawl across the floor. His wife awakened, and mistaking her hus- band for the dog, said sleepily: ''Here Cindy, good dog!" "And then," said the husband, in telling his cronies about it next morning, "I had the good sense to go over and lick her hand." Eddie started The manager of the furniture factory in Eddie's town landed a big order. It meant he had to buy a lot of extra lumber, increase his payroll. He lost no time in putting the whole thing up to the manager of his local bank. Together they worked out how much money he would need to take care of wages and other costs until he delivered the goods. Then, with the backing of his bank, he got to work on the order. . . . And that's where Eddie came in. He was put on the payrollâ€" given his first cliance to learn a tra«le. Right now he's on his way home to tell Mom and Dad how much he likes his new job; PRICEVILLE VANPELEUR The annual congrregatiomal meeting of VaiMieleur ohurdh was held follow- ing the seorvice Sunday afternoon, the pastor, Rev.

It is more important to teach yoai -» children proper living habits than to train them to be careiful crossins: a busy street. And yet, say health au- thorities at Ottawa, parents ofton content themselves with tiie more obvious safety warnings. Wise par- ents also have their children vaccin- ated, inoculated, and tauglht to live right. A nuirse in a mental hospital notic- ed a patient with his ear close to the wall, listening intently. The i>atieai1 held up a finger as a warning to be quiet. Then beckoned the nurse over and said, "I^isten here." The nurse listened for some time and aaid, "I can't hear anything."
