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!"

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.
