__z - OMAHAj NEBRASKA—THE OM AHAJjUIDE—Saturday September 11th 1948 ONLY TEN Cr.N TS PER COTY
ONCE UPON
OUR TIME
By the Town Crier
. . . If you want to reach 70
better keep your spedometer
around 50. The 55 cent “Dipsy
Doodle” sundae was encounter
ed recently'in a wild California
region by a local man who has
just returned from out that
way: It contains 5 big scoops
of 5 different ice creams and
sherbets, plus melba peach,
chocalate and marshmallow
syrup and whipped cream and
peanuts and cherry!”
Of course you don’t have to
eat it if you don’t pay the 55
cents.
I see where the experts fear
television will deal a knockout
blow to movies and radio, and
maybe even to magazines and
books, and newspapers.
Not if its dished up in the
same gooey way that’s making
radio so piffling.
A rumor’s gaining headway
in the East that there’s a ser
ious shortage of young marria
gable girls in Nebraska (a^
well as jn Iowa) and that you-i
»g Nebraska boys are getting
despertite.
Next thing we’ll be invaded
ty Chicago, New York and the
Kansas City girls hunting
husbands, of course, we out
here know better!
You know how things get twis
ted.
. Memo to our two Sen
ators. I smell a rat in the deal
to use Russian money exclus
ively in Berlin. They could
get a chock hold that way.
.... If a lot of people would
give as much attention to the
affairs of the world and whom
they put in office as they do to
the big prize radio programs,
we might get somewhere. . .
For using foul language over
• the telephone you abn have
your service discontinned.
bor the last tew weeks this
paper has been running an ad
for the Walter R. Zink Real
Estate Co., 803 Omaha Nat l
Bank Bldg., in which he offers
lots upon which to build for as
low as $125 and »one for more
than $650, with a down pay
ment as low as $10 and $5 per
month. The taxes are paid on
these lots and many of them
are in choice locations. . .
Here appears to be the answer
to these planning to build.
... I stopped in a Cigar store
downtown the other day, and
the clerk told me that Truman
cigars have a slight edge on
the Dewey cigars in sales. It
might mean something, wh©
knows? Sign on a pawnshop:
“See us at your earliest in
convenience.”
MEMO TO THE GIRLS:
There’s a bounty on your pret
ty heads. It's not for being
. little dears. It’s because, they
say the boys, you act like little
wolves. But that is another
column initself, next week, I
will you give you the informa
tion as it was passed on to me.
