It's strange how we laugh sometimes
at things that are not really funny.
It happened here last week at The
News office. It was Tuesday, that
dreaded day, when work doesn't pause
until the job is done and the paper is
safely transported to Athens where it is
printed.
Each one of us in the office have our
own appointed Jobs to do and everyone
stays busy with little conversation.
Loft was at work on the typesetting
machine, Dawn was busy putting
together ads, Benny was at work on the
typewriter with the final sports story of
the day while I worked nearby putting
pages together.
Out of the corner of my eye I caught
the beginning of the scene. As Benny
busily worked at the typewriter one leg
of the chair he was using began to break
off. Benny was reaching for the desk,
the typewriter, pulling at thin air....all
In slow motion, it seemed. The chkir
gradually drew closer to the floor as the
leg continued its dislocation from its
mother parts.
It happened to he a hack leg, of cour-
se, so the failing motion was backward.
Ever so slowly the chair continued to
fall. Ever so slowly Benny neared the
floor of the office, still searching with
his hands for som vpe of support.
As I watched the entire sequence of
events Lira and Dawn both realized
something was amiss across the room.
From the time they looked up from
their work all they could see was legs,
Benny's legs, in the air.
I could see his expression. It was in-
describable.
I couldn't help it .... I laughed. Lira
laughed, then Dawn laughed. We
laughed .... and laughed .... and
laughed.
Finally, getting absolutely no com-
fort or support from any of us, Benny

about his condition.

50 Years Ago
A freak calf was born on Easter mor-
ning to a cow belonging to O. L. Starkes,
who resides on the Easterling place
near the Jackson's Chapel Community.
It had a face that closely resembled a
bulldog, a hump like a camel and a tail
located in the center of the hack. It
lived only 10 minutes.

The new calf crop should be on the
ground and hopefully, healthy and
growing, says Dr. Randall Grooms,
livestock specialist for the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service.
To minimize death losses and insure

Grooms says that when the calves are
penned for vaccination is an excellent
time to identify calves with a holding
brand and to implant with a growth im-
plant. He cautions producers to use an
implant for the age, sex and weight of
the calf as recommended on the
manufacturer's label. Do not implant
