iJI6 I I A Just My Type MCKIARTQN Here's hopiaf the city finds some new wells and an adequate supply of water before next MM- mer rolls around, so I wwt gel so many suggestions on what to write about in this column.

More than one person has rag- gested that I should plead his case in this column, but I don't think you could ever set up a program for rationing water that'would satisfy everyone. The only solution is to have enough water that everybody can use all they want ANNUAL-- Mrs John Hemminger, who lives southeast of Harlan, recently had a chance to win a flight to Paris, where she would have hotel accbm- odations for two weeks, a new car to drive, and $1,000 cash to spend. But she missed.

She was called by the Art Linkletter show, televised from Hollywood each day. On the show guests are shown a miniature house and asked ta guess 'what common household article it in it. If they miss, a phana call is made ta someone alia from the same state as the contestant, who appears ail the shew. Mrs Hemminger was'oiled alter a lady from Waterloo missed. Since some of the clues are that the article requires a lot of heat in malting, and is easy to chip, she guessed it was a ceramic bowl or figurine.

--SHELBY COUNTY-- Televiewers who watch "The $64,000 Question" may wonder Why more. tar th? limit lafter onitrsted their' the fields they have pkked--like the New York shoe repairmen who knew opera so well, of the grandmother who was such a Bible expert. The reason is because they've received some income tax advice between shows. Take the grandmother, for instance. She answered the $32,000 question, was given a week to decide whether or not to try for the $44,000, and turned it down.

A tax expert has figured out that, on the basis of a separate return, she got to keep $17,500 of the $32,000 she won. Had she answered another question correctly she would have won a total of after taxes. In other words, by going the limit she wouldn't be merely risking 532,000 to gain an equal amount. She would be risking $17,500 to gain only $9,000 more. --FAIR STARTS-- Got a big charge out of a booboo the Council Bluffs Nonpareil pulled the other day.

Under the picture of four pretty" little 4-H girls was this wording: "Grand Champion Fat Heifer--at the Pottawattamie county fair was this stylish Hereford shown by J. D. Beatty." Of course we never make mistakes like that here in Harlan. "ACCRUACY IS OUR MOTTO" --TODAY-- It's understandable how Airman Daniel Schmidt's wife cauld have remarried, thinking he was dead, after he had spent 32 months in a Chinese Communist prison camp. My wife thinks dead when I'd rather stay home and watch TV than take her out to dinner and a movie.

DIDJUEVER HEAR THIS'N? A Quaker farmer had a milk cow that gave lots of milk, had a bad habit of kicking over the pail. He tried every means of persuasion to get her not to do this and sometimes the pail would be almost full and he would think he had broken her the bad habit when up came her foot and over went pail. Finally in exasperation he said to her, "Thou knfWst I am a Quaker and cannot profane language. Thou knowest too that a a man of peace and so cannot beat thee. But what thou dost kot know is that tomorrow .1 shall sell thee to my brother-in-law who is a Methodist, and te both curse thee and beat THE HARLAN Your Tuesday Newspaper Published Weekly Read Daily NEWAEVERTISER VOL 86 COPYRIGHT 1955 HARLAN, SHELBY COUNTY, IOWA, TUESDAY; AUGUST 23, 1955 SINGLE COPY lOc 12 Pages NUMBER 34 Postpone Start Of School Here Till Sept 6th ADDITIONAL TIME NEEDED TO FINISH NEW PARK SCHOOL The opening of Harlan's public schools has been postponed a week to allow for finishing up vork on the new Park grade school, Gordon Paulk.
