A fel- low does a lot of thinking when he's sitting on top of a load like that, believe me. I ate. my toast and eggs, drank a glass of milk and poured some coffee. "You know, Mary," I said, 'Tm an important guy. About everything on this table-the eggs, the bread, the milk and the coffee-came by truck. People'd be in sorry shape if it weren't for trucks. And r'm a trucker. "Of course you're important -the most 'important guy in the world to me," Mary said, straightening my necktie. "Now step on it, or you'll be off schedule.

Betty Ward Wins Girl Scout Essay Contest Miss Betty Ward, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Ward and a member of the local Girl Scouts received the highest honor in the contest sponsored by the Woman's Club, on "What Girl Scouting Means To Me". Following is her composition. "Girl Scouting means to me that I belong to. one of the largest or- ganizations ofi honor and leader- ship for young girls. During my Girl Scouting, I have learned to obey orders and help others. It has also taught me to be loyal 'and courteous. I have enjoyed the fellowship with the other girls during our meetings, and hikes and other activities. I have learned nature study and have learned to be kind to ani- mals." It pays to advertise-try it! Corner Baltzell Avenue and 4th Street I was grabbing breakfast this morning, when my wife, ,Mary, said, "What time do you have to check out, Mac?" "Seven o'clock," I told her. "General cargo. Some refrig- erators, television sets, gas stoves and I don't know what else." "Then I won't see you all week," Mary said. "That's right," I said. "This is. Monday. Probably see you Friday night. This.is a long hail--- little over a thousand miles to Key West and back, and you know we don't aver- age much better than 29 miles an hour." You see, the law says we truck drivers can put' in a maximum of only ten hours of driving. Then we've got to take eight hours off. The law is right, of course. After ten solid hours of rofling a "kid- ney' buster" through tourist traffic, a fellow needs to relax. SThere's a lot of responsibility attached.
