. 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!

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.
