Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
rpHE KINDLY warden of a model penitentiary noticed
that on visitors' day there was one prisoner who sat
neglected and alone, with nary one friend or relative to
come to cheer him. The
warden sent for the pris
oner and said, "I'm wor
ried about you. Don't you
have any friends or
family?"
"Sure I have," replied
the prisoner contentedly,
"but they're all in here
with me."
. The enterprising driver
of an interstate bus was
heard to deliver the follow-.
Ing; oration. "Folks, we'll
be stopping here for twenty
minutes. This line has a
atrict policy never to recommend an eating place by name, but If
anybody want me while we're here, M be eating a. wonderful
T-bone steak with french fries at Tony's first-class, bargain rate,
spotlessly clean diner directly across the road."
The new minister was doing his darndest to Ingratiate himself
with the young son of the congregation's richest member. "Tell
me, my boy," he purred, "how do your parents reward you when
you've been a very good boy?" The eon answered, "They let
me stay home from Sunday School."

Assassination Said
National Warning
NEW YORK (UPI)-The pres
ident of the Protestant Council
of the City of New York said
Saturday the murder of Presi
dent Kennedy was a "solemn
national warning" for Ameri
cans to face up to their respon
sibilities. "We are facing on a vast
scale a flight from responsibili
ty in our country at the very
moment of its greatest account
ability in history," said the
Rev. Dr. Arthur Lee Kinsolv
ing. "It is my conviction that the
age of psychology of excus
ing ourselves by blaming our
ancestors or environment has
been weighed in the balance
and found wanting. It is time to
acknowledge our own sin and
personal accountability to God
and the moral law."
