His ac- ceptance speech was the shortest one of the awards' evening. Soberly he said; 'I'm really glad I won. Now, if I only had a job." On Dinah Shore's television show, David Frost revealed, "Fin proud that I am to music what Noel Coward is to prize fighting!" Snoopy touched the hearts of all writers, when he complained, "Sometimes, a writer spends days searching for the right word." Snoopy's "right word" turned out to be "the." Take heart, all you men whose hairlines are receding or have already receded. -Bald in front indicates a thinker; bald in back indicates a lover; bald all over indicates a thoughtful lover." Those words were obviously coined by a bald man. An appliance salesman stunned a customer, who was returning a TV set. "Yes, it was guaranteed for thirty-six months," he agreed. "Unfortunately, July isn't one of them." Are you frustrated when you dial a number only to reach an answering service? One tycoon shouted into the phone, "I don't care if you are a recording! Stop interrupting me.. !" An historian observed, "The bathtub was invented in 1850 and the phone in 1875. In 1850, you could've sat in the tub without having the phone ring." A philosopher contributed this gem: "A tactless person is one who says what everyone else is thinking." Winston Churchill rationalized his habit of missing trains by saying, "I'm a sporting man and I always give them a fair chance of getting away." Speculation about a provincial election flourished during the past few months. We acknowledged the point made by satirists. who explained, "Government spending gives you an idea why laws are called bills." Another critic remarked, "Inflation is so bad that it has hit feathers. Even down is up." Looking on the bright side, a doctor told his patient, "Congratulations! The high price of butter, meat and eggs cleared up your cholesterol," A supporter exclaimed to a political candidate, "Great speech, sir! I liked the straightforward way you dodged the iskies." Meanwhile, another politician consulted his aide, "About their charge that I'm indecisive — do you think I should answer it, or let it go, or answer it in part, or what?" Womens' lib begins dt an early age. A Sunday School teacher asked one of the little girls in her class to tell the story of Adam and Eve. The student eagerly responded, "First, God made Adam. Then, He looked at Adam and 'thought, "I can do better than that." So He made Eve." The ushers passed the offertory plates in church one Sunday morning. When the plate reached a little boy in the front pew, he shook his ,head no and explained,. "I gave at Sunday School." Describing his congregation, one minister conceded, "Some people come to worship God; others come to sleep and nod." In the Pioneer Museum in Goderich, antique coffins and hearses are displayed. The epitaph on a tombstone states, "In time, you will follow me." Beside the stone leans a sheet of cardboard on which an ingenious staff member added, "Following you is not my intent, until I know which way you went." A Chinese youth provided a new translation of the three- monkeys' symbol which we label "See no evil, Hear no evil and Speak no evil." "It could mean," the boy conjectured, "that the one with the hands over eyes is listening, the one with hands over ears is looking and the one with hands over mouth is thinking."

N.R. Bottles "Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?" 1-low? was the question in viewers minds as they wandered through Exeter's most beautiful gardens Monday afternoon, A total of 31 gardens were nominated by appreciative neighbours in the Alphi Pi Sorority sponsored garden competition for the green thumb award, The general consensus was that there are an abundance of green thumbs in Exeter after looking at the lush blooms and healthy plants complementing resident yards. Judges, Mrs. Don Pullen, Clinton, Mrs, Allan Eveleigh, Kirkton and mayor Bruce Shaw of Exeter commented that judging was very difficult as every garden was beautiful and certainly showed pride of ownership, It was also hard to' make a fair comparison between large lawn and garden areas and trailer home areas, Comparing those homes with a vegetable garden and those with simply flower beds and shrubs was difficult as well, After consultation the judges awarded ten green thumb awards to the following citizens: Douwe Rozendal, 373 Marlborough; Mrs. Lee Dobbs; 39 Riverside; C,V.
