Annuol Poll Shows Economisls Gqutiously Oprimistic About | 960

What kind of year will 1960 be for business?

The nation's leading economists think it will be a recordbreaking year in most respects, but they are somewhat less enthusiastic about the outlook than they were a year ago.

This was the consensus of 273 of the nation's leading economists in business, government and universities polled by F. W. Dodge Corporation in its annual survey of economists' opinions on the business outlook.

Dr. George Cline Smith, Dodge vice-president and economist, said that the economists, on the average, expected the second half of 1960 to see some tapering off in the rate of growth, and that many expressed some doubts about the outlook for 1961.

A sizeable majority (65%) expect total activity, as measured by Gross National Product, to rise steadily during the year.

In summafy, Dr. Smith said there is no question that the economists expect business to be very good in 1960, rvith

Revenge

A Naval commander in uniform was standing at the front door of a big city hotel waiting for a friend to pick him up when a fat couple got out of a taxi and the lady demanded to know where the dress-and-suit convention was being held. He politely replied that he was sorry but he didn't know. Whereupon the fat lady gave him a dressing down for his ignorance, remarking that they had a right to expect better service from this hotel. He listened politely, then asked them to follow him. They followed him through the lobby, around a couple of corners, where he opened a door and ushered them into the Men's Room. He didn't remain to see what happened next.

On Being o Child

Do you know what it is to be a child? It is to be something very different from the man of today. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief ; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, lowness into loftiness, and nothing for everything, for each child has a fairy godmother in its soul.-Francis Thompson.

Coustic

Professor (after a very bad recitation): "Class missed. And don't flap your ears as you go out."

Wrote Confucius:

Ain'l lr Fine Todoy?

Sure the world is full of trouble, I ain't said it ain't.

Lord, I've had enough and double Reason for complaint.

Rain and storm have come to fret me Skies are often gray;

Thorns and brambles have beset me On the road-but say, Ain't it fine today?

What's the use of always weepin'Making trouble last?

What's the use of always keepin' Thinkin'of the.past?

Each must have his tribulationWater with his wine; Life-it ain't no celebration; Trouble-I've had mine; But today is fine.

-James Whitcomb Riley.

Streichlng?

A lady had advertised for a girl for general housework and was showing an applicant over the house. She had been is rtis_ very liberal in her promises of pay and privileges, and it looked like they had made a deal, when the girl suddenly asked:

The old men, when they wished their virtues to shine throughout the land, had first to gov€rn their states well. To govern their states well, they first had to establish harmony in their families. To establish harmony in their families, they first had to discipline themselves. To discipline themselves, they first had to rnake their purpose sincere. To make their purpose sincere, they first had to extend their knowledge to the utmost. Such knowledge is acquired through a careful investigation of things. For, with things investigated, knowledge becomes complete. With knowledge complete, the purpose becomes sincere. With the purpose sincere, the mind is set in order. With the mind set in order, there is real self-discipline. With real self-discipline, the family achieves harmony. With harmony in the family, the state becomes well-governed. With the state well-governed, there is peace throughout the land.

"Do you do your own stretchin'?"

"Our what?" asked the lady.

"Stretchin'," repeated the girl. "Do you put alt the food on the table at dinner and stretch for it, or do I have to shufile it around?"

But ls He Sober?

He is not drunk who, from the foor, Can rise again and drink some more; But he is drunk who prostrate lies, And cannot drink, and cannot rise.

How to Tell

The restaurant guest called the waiter and complained that the beverage tasted like ker6sene. Said the waiter: "If it tastes like kerosene, it's sure-enough tea. Our cofree tastes like turpentine."
