Pastor: Say, deacon, a mule died out in front of the church.

Deacon: Well, it’s the job of you ministers to look after the dead. Why tell me?

Pastor: You’re right; it is my job. But we always notify the next of kin.

Son: Dad, will you help me find the least common denominator in this problem?

Dad: Good heavens, son, don’t tell me that hasn’t been found. They were looking for it when I was a kid.

Luther Head Married.

While Dr. Bernard Kelley was lecturing on "The American Home" at the First M. E. church last night, Dr. J. W. Stewart, the pastor of the church, was engaged in authorizing the starting of one, he having been selected to officiate at the wedding of Mr. Luther Head and Miss Ollie Skillen.

The marriage took place at 8:30 o’clock at the home of the bride’s parents on West Sycamore street and was witnessed by only a few friends and relatives. The bride wore a dress of white swiss and carried a bouquet of white roses.

After the ceremony refreshments were served. The young couple went immediately to their future home, at the corner of Grand and Fairview avenues. Mr. Head is a well-known young dairyman and is a favorite with a large circle of friends. The bride is a charming Carthage girl and very popular.

Although there was some hint of retaliation durin’ last Council meetin’ that indicated the possibility of holdin’ up approval of the Myers Park Development Plan if the airport was not at least temporarily reopened, there seems to be little support for the maneuver.

Instead there may be some softenin’ of positions that would separate the Myers Park Development and the creation of a new airfield. A Council Bill proposed by Donna Harlan calls for the creation of an Airport Committee that would function to promote the idea of a new facility and pursue any grant funding that may be available. The proposal also calls for a fund to be established that would hold a portion of any money received, past and future, for any Myers Park land sold.

The proposal has yet to be officially debated at the Committee level, but informal discussion appears to have gathered at least some initial support.

This is some fact, but mostly, Just Jake Talkin’.

Q: I’m getting ready to put up a chain-link fence. How far apart should the posts be? Do the posts need to be set in concrete? - M. M.

A: Set all the posts in concrete, no more than 10 feet apart.

Q: Our bathroom fan exhausts into the attic. Can we vent our new range-hood fan into the attic? - R. B.

A: That’s a bad idea, because much of the exhaust from the range will have airborne grease from cooking. Over time, the grease would accumulate, even in a well-ventilated attic.

Hint - Laundry bleach is a wonderful mildew remover, but lots of people are allergic to bleach. To make a non-bleach alternative, mix a half-cup of white vinegar and a half-cup of Borax powder into a cup of warm water. Add a tablespoon of liquid dishwashing detergent. Use a brush to scrub the mixture into the grout lines or on any surface with a mildew problem. Let it sit for a half-hour, and then rinse. It’s not as fast as bleach, but it has no ill effects.

Dear Al: We have lots of trees on our property, and I do the pruning. I ran out of pruning paint. My father-in-law took some of our leftover latex paint and mixed equal parts of the paint with antiseptic-type mouthwash. He brushed that over the spots where the pruning was done. I figured it was just some kooky idea, but when I told our county agent about it, he said it was as good as any pruning seal. - S. P. S.
