and declares
that some of the best years of
one life is after that period. ?ie
KayS proper care of the old
physical frame will lead to
many happy years and longer
life. All of which is encourag-
ing to those who think when
they get at the half century
mark, it is time to fold up and
start looking for a cane and
live in the days that are gone
Katy Has 75 Million Dollar Program
'We never did like to be ?n a
circle where the conversation is
all about the years that are
gone, when that conversation is
in the vein that the good days
aria past and no more shall the
morning sun rise for them.
Personally, we are of the
opinion that one does not really
begin to live until they get into
the forties—thati is live so as to
be able to begin properly evalu-
ating life and striking the happy
balances.
To us longevity as well a
depth of life means a lot.
Length of years does not neces-
sarily add to one's life—it it
only as one learns! to know what
life means and the zest of being
in a moving world is experienced
by a man who refuses to become
stationary.
As we see it right now should
St. Peter knock at the door and
say he wanted Anderson to come
on with him, even if he offered
•us heaven for sure, we would,
in our present state of mind,
ask him to give us a rain check
on the whole thing.
Confidentially, we are loving
this old world, our State and our
business.
W|0 would really hate to have
to give it all up. We do enjoy
meeting and knowing people.
The rouigh side does not at all
keeip us from enjoying the bet
ter side. We like to meet and
overcome |pro>blems, and have the
joy of knowing that we licked
the very daylights out of some'
thing that started in to get us.
Heaven, as we see it, is a
place, yes, a place, where the
most noble moments of life arc
projected indefinitely with no
presence of things that inhibit or
mar or make afraid.
That kind of thing is all right
for those who are ready to give
it up, but since none of us have
n word to say as to when that
time sha'l cdme, we just have to
take things as they come. But
We can not be prevented ft'om
sayiiu? haw much we love this
life and this good world which
God of all good has provided for
us, and we simiply adore it and
want to stick around for many
more years yet to fight, over-
come, enjoy friends, love and be
loved, serve here and there
when we can, help make a just-
er world, hear longer the laugh
of our children and grandchil-
dren and enjoy the fruits of the
day that is to brirvg in marvelous
things, and unfold views of
which the human never dreamed.
Yes, let us live and enjoy the
years, fDear God and thus try and
pay back some of the Indebted-
ness that hus been fastened on
us since the days when It was
told us that "all men are debt-
ors"

traffic hazard. The bus is in
danger of being inn down by
