I like the 28lh of November
For it is a day I'll always
remember,
With turkey, corn, and pump

When I get through I'm twice

We thank our Lord for a won
drous year.
And for our mother and fa

THE DAY OUR PRESIDENT
WAS LAID TO REST
Now sound the drums
Sound the horn
An entire nation
Grieves forlorn!
For here
Our President
Lies Dead '
His lesson's taught
But his speech unsaid.
His Eulogy
A thing of beauty
Attesting to his eense
Of duty.
Oh! dreadful day!
When time stood slill
And an assassin took his life!
And loft-
Bercft-
Hls children
And his wife!
The drums sounded
And the sad music played
The funeral dirge continued
As the soldiers marched in pa
rade. Tlie flags were lowered
The church bells rang
In the church assemblies
The sorrowful choirs sang.
From far aw ay
Came kings and queens
And statesmen mourners all
And over our President's cas
ket hung
The American flag his pall.
Please God! Let not his death
be all in vain
But the peace and brotherhood
he so desired
Of all mankind forever
reign!
Symbolized by the unquenchable
flame!
Left to venerate his soul his
name!

We will thank Him, for health,
That we possess today;
And for our liberty and freedom
And in everything we say.
The right to vote that is ours,
And to worship as we please;
For our good Old USA,
And to its destinies.
We thank Him, for our boun

And the turkey that we eat;
Hoping He will hear our prayers
While kneeling at His feet.
We thank Him for our loved

Who make life worthwhile;
Each morn when we arise,
And tlie sun we greet and smile.
So on this special day Lord,
Our wants are so very few,
We shall always honor Thee
And give our thanks to You.

WHAT HAVE I DONE, LORD?
What have I done, Oh Lord,
For all the ways you bless?
What have I given in return
For health and happiness?
You gave me my very life,
My mind and my every breath;
And all the wonders of the
world
From my infancy, 'til death.
You showed me how to walk,
Among my fellow men;
And when I was weak and fell,
You helped me to rise again.
I can't thank you half enough,
Or make it up to you;
Or what is the sacrifice, Lord
That you would have me do?
You gave me the moon and
stars,
And all fine things on earth:
You have guided my footsteps
Since you gave me birth.
There are so many things. Lord,
So many virtues that I lack;
But in my humble way, Lord,
I wish to pay you back.

HISTORY REPEATED
There's a new grave in Arling
ton Where lies many of our nation's
great.
Truthfully, it's all because a
man's
Heart was filled with burning
hate.
History repeats itself once mora
For less than one hundred years
ago
Lincoln was slain by a gun
man's hand;
Leaving a nation filled with
woe.
Garfield and McKinley have
their place
In the list of the tragic dead.
Why should these lives be sacri
ficed When many useful years lie
aiead?
Hate and vengeance are poison
ous When allowed to live in a man;
Forever growing until It ex
plodes, And he has completed his plan.
Mny tlie children of the U.S.A.
Never experience such tragedy
again;
Finding only faith and confi
dence In (heir fellow country men.

AMONG THE GREAT
(AMERICANS!
In a great nation, an era has
passed.
O'er buildings and spires, flags
hang at half mast.
To honor a leader, of men's des
tiny. A peace loving man, John F.
Kennedy.
All over the world, men pay
their respects.
For his name and his fame, his
greatness reflects.
He gave us his life, had just
one to give,
So that harmonious, all races
would live.
He fought for peace and liberty,
(o hold and keep democracy
Helped nations oppressed, to
fight tyranny.
Fore'er in our hearts, tho with
pain they are lorn,
We'll love tins great man, for
whom we now mourn.
Kennedy s wife, too, we love and
admire.
Her gallant devotion, his works
she'd inspire.
His works will go down in his
toric pages
And his name will go on, down
through tlie ages.

impeachment.
More than any other person
in the federal structure. Camp
bell is the watchdog of your tax
dollar, and when he barks, an
alarm of anxiety and fear runs
like a chill through the execu
tive branch of the government.
He has caught the federal de
partments and agencies in all
sorts of monkey business.
In Nevada the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads spent
1384,000 to build a clover leaf
on an interstate highway in a
desolate rural section occupied
by four small ranches. The GAO
investigation turned up the fact
that the highway work also
would make a house of prosti
tution more accessible to trav
elers. The joke about McNamara
and Campbell stems from the
fact that the Defense Depart
ment gets more attention from
the GAO than any other federal
unit. Not because it is less effi
cient than many other depart
ments and agencies, but be
cause it spends the most money
About $50 billion a year is pour
ed out by the Defense Depart
ment on installations scattered
around the world.
The result is that Campbell
and his men constantly are
turning up such odd pieces of
information as these;
The Army spent $9.4 mil
lion for 135 fire trucks designed
to put out fires caused by the
malfunction of missiles. It never
occurred to anybody to test the
trucks before buying them but
somebody got around to it after
the purchase. The lest disclosed
that tlie trucks would not put out
missile fires in their initial
stages. In fact, it is almost im
possible to control a missile
eruption fire when it first starts.
The GAO found that the
Army, Navy and Air Force
were making an unnecessary ex
penditure of $2 8 million an
nually because they could not
agree on specifications for uni
forms. Among the matters in
controversy were the design of
the waist of tlie trousers and
the width of the belt loops.
Tlie U. S. Weather Bureau
maintained a hurricane warning
station at Miami. Fla. So did
tlie U. S. Navy. The GAO raised
the question of why two
branches of the government
were performing tlie same
function. As soon as the ques
tion was raised it was decided
to consolidate them at consid
erable savings.
The Air Force in one year
spent $3.5 to send material by
commercial air freight when it
could have gone on cheaper
transportation for less than $1
million. One item was empty
tool boxes worth $10 each which
were flown to Korea at a charge

Refitting Tool With Handle
Requires Careful York
Ky MR. FIX
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
There seems (o be little point
in parting with a good hammer,
hatchet or ax just because tlie
handle is broken.
Yet, refitting it with tlie first
handle you happen to find in a
hardware store, or, worse yet,
the handle off of some other
tool, will only leave you disap
pointed with the result.
The tool you bought original
ly was carefully balanced; head
and handle were paired per
fectly. Therefore, picking and fitting
a new handle is not something
you can do hastily.
Twin Brother
Begin by finding a handle as
nearly like the original as pos
sible. Weight as well as size
and shape should be considered.
No handle will fit perfectly the
first time you place the head
on il. The head will go on so
far and no more. Don't force it.
Note how far it goes. It will
leave a mark at that point.
Use a wood rasp (o take
away some of (he wood at (hat
point. Work lightly. Try to re
move the same amount of wood
all around.
Keep refitting the handle ami
filing away excess wood until
the handle fits tlie eye of (tie

the interior surface all around.
