Knack stedt Photo) Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- STORY TOLD to every tourist in the Texas Panhandle: After the worst sandstorm in those parts in a genera tion, a rancher stumbled over a hat, and found it was on the head of an unfortu nate buried in the sand. After the poor fellow was almost dug out he im plored, "Dig a little deep er, Brother: I'm on horse back." One of Abraham Lin coln's favorite anecdotes: I passed by a field where a farmer was trying; to plow with a very decrepit and emaciated horse. I no ticed on the flank of the animal a big horse-fly, and was about to brush it off when the farmer stopped me with, 'Don't you bother that fly, Abe. If it wasn't for that fly, this danged old hoss wouldn't move an inch!' " OVERHEARD: A Texan visiting Rhode Island: "It's cute but I still prefer Disneyland." At a cocktail party: "He makes people happy wherever ht goes cr, I mean, WHENEVER'." From a disgruntled husband: "Intuition is what enables m wife to contradict mc before I open my mouth." After a testimonial banquet: "I looked at my watch at mid nightand it was only eight forty-five!" 1963, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by King, Features Syndicate 4t?

The firm Medford Branch Of Bank Gets T Pennant for Work The Medford branch of the First National Bank of Ore gon was presented President Kennedy's "E for Export'' award which the statewide bank received recently for its efforts to significantly in crease U.S. sales abroad. Carl Donaugh. assistant manager of the Portland field office of the U.S. Department of Commerce, made the pre sentation to R. C. Ross, vice president and manager of the Medford branch. The "E" pennant, first raised during World War II above America's war plants as a symbol of production ex cellence, now signifies out standing achievement in help ing to develop the sales of American goods and services in overseas markets, or the promotion of tourist business from overseas. Cited for Program First National was cited for its aggressive and imaginative export expansion program. "The bank's great expansion of its international depart ment, and a several hundred per cent increase in overseas trade financing since 1960, are a credit to our private enterprise system and a ma terial contribution to the ex port expansion program of the United States govern men t," the citation reads. Five other banks received citations and the blue and white "E" pennants. They are Bank of America, National Trust and Savings Associa tion, of San Francisco; Rhode Island Hospital Trust Com pany, of Providence; Bankers Trust Company of New York City; Central National Bank of Cleveland; and Continental Illinois Bank & Trust, Chi cago. President Kennedy revived the use of the "E" award last year as a means of recognizing the efforts of American or ganizations in reducing the balance of payments deficit. The United States must in crease dollar receipts through earnings abroad to meet the nation's overseas defense and aid commitments. Recognition of the efforts of U S business organizations with "E" awards has helped to stimulate the overseas sale of American products. Secre tary of Commerce Luther Horigrs says this increased business abroad is providing more profits for American business, more jobs for Ameri can labor, and a better image of the United States in the eyes of the world.
