And He Sold His Hot Dogs, Too! There was a man who lived by the side of the road and he sold hot dogs. He was hard of hearing, so he had no radio. He had trouble with his eyes, so he read no newspapers. But he sold good hot dogs. He put signs up on the highway telling how good they were. He stood on the side of the road and cried: “Buy a hot dog, mister?” And people bought. He increased his meat and bun orders. He bought a bigger stove to take care of his trade. He finally got his son home from college to help him. But then something happened. His son said, “Father, haven’t you been listening to the radio? Haven’t you been reading the news papers? There’s a big depression on. The European situation is terrible. The domestic situation is worse. Everything is going to pot.” Whereupon the father thought: “Well, my son’s been to college, he reads the papers and he listens to the radio and he ought to know.” So the father cut down on his meat and bun orders, took down his advertising signs, and no longer bothered to stand out on the highway to sell his hot dogs. And his hot dog sales fell almost overnight. “You’r' right, son,’’ the father said to the boy. “We certainly are in the middle of a great depression.” Geo. T. Trundle, Jr. The foregoing, handed to the Pilot by Roy Sunderland, has food for thought. It reminds us of a story told during the last depression during the early ’30. which shows how “mind” has plenty to do with the condition of the country: “A man hit town by wav of a bus. and found he must lay over for six hours until his bus departed. For safety sake he checked his suitcase, and a small handbag. At this moment a garageman got up from the counter in the bus de[>ot and camo to the desk: “How about that $10. car repair account ?’’ The depot agent in desperation, took a $10-bill from the man’s small bag, paid the garageman. The garageman returned to his place of business, credited the books, and paid the bill to his me chanic, whom he owed. The mechanic, at noon, paid for the two meal tickets at the bus depot cafe, and the agent, glad for the turn of events, grabbed the bill and started to return it to the man’s small bag. At that moment federal men came in to ask if such-and- such a fellow had come in on the bus. When told that he had, they laid in wait for him. He was «a counterfeiter. But this counterfeit money had satisfied four accounts!

LOCAL MEWS We Will Drill Your Well Install Your Pump By Dmuey Hot weather certainly makes coastal residents hunt for shade and brings forth from them the loudest of complaints. I notice, at the same time, people from inland nearly freeze here on the coast, at the moments natives cry about the heat. However, it brings out the fishermen, the old fellows who like their seafood. Messrs Yokum, Burmeister and Martineau are among these old cronies who are playing the lo cal beaches for all they are able during this kind of weather. It does me a lot of good to hear the discussion about which is the best “eating,’’ the catfish from the mill pond, or the perch from the sea. Mr. Burmeister is still “sticking” with catfish. Perhaps the luckiest of the trio of line slingers is Tom Yokum, who claims his years as a saw yer stand him in good stead. He brought in 16 Sunday, and the neighborhood had seafood.
