YOU’RE STUCK WITH IT As everyone knows, time goes faster as one grows older. Scientists have sought to explain the phenomenon and have presented plausible theories. One concept is that childhood, contrary to adult notions, is a relatively unhappy period. Children are frightened by a million bugaboos and have countless little worries. They are in a hurry to grow up so they can be free an«l on their own. The stretch between birthdays seems interminable. Th«* later years, believe it or not. are the happiest years of life, proof of which is that time seems to go so fast. Such is the philosopher's contention. It is certainly true that happy hours are short hours and happy years are short years. So quit your grousing. If time seems short you’re happy, and don’t try to deny it. —Bagology.

Bohemia Nuggets SINCE THE DELEGATES of 19 nations met at Rio de Janeiro in 1947 to draft a treaty of mutual assistance for South American states, four gov ernments have fallen. They are. as shown In shaded areas on Ure map, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and Paraguay. The latter was rocked by "putsch trouble” as recently as Feb. 28. Other dates indicate the time and place of political coups. There have been, in addition, numerous "plots” against existing regimes. Bolivia, for instance, has been under an almost constant state of siege. Border troubles have frequently broken out and complaints have been registered of intrusion from outside sources. Be cause of a number of factors, future troubles are anticipated. These include economic difficulties; cultural differences which range from head hunters to sophisticates; Communist Infiltration and tho rise of political and military opportunists seeking to seize power. (International) Mosby Creek Home Burns Thursday A two story dwelling, property of Ivan Harris, locate«! about two and three quarter miles cast on Mosby creek, was destroyed by fire last Thursday afternoon. The dwelling occupied by the R. F. Hadley family was a total loss.

All of tho family managed to escape the flames, hut failed to save any of the furniture except a dresser which was damaged by flames.
