THE NEWBERRY SI^N. NEWBERRY. S. C 1951 Broke Records In National Parks U. S. rangers have closed their books on the greatest travel year in the history of America’s na tional parks. From Maine to AJaska and Ha waii, more than 36,700,000 people —one in every four Americans— visited historic shrines and saw majestic scenery that they them selves own as part of the far-flung national park system. The figure broke the 1950 record by nearly four million. Uncle Sam’s public park domain —mountains and monuments, can yons and caves—embraces more land than the combined area of Vermont, New Hampshire, Mass achusetts, Rhode Island, Connect icut, Delaware and half of New Jersey. Half of the total is in 28 National Parks; the remainder in 175 National Monuments, histori cal sites, battlefields, and memor ials. National forests, ten times as big, are not included. Yellowstone is the largest Na tional Park A fantastic land of geysers, hot springs, mud volca noes, waterfalls, mountains, and forests, it sprawls across more than two million acres of Wyom ing, Montana, and Idaho.

The sergeant was quizzing a group of rookies. “Smith,” he asked, “what’s the first thing you do when cleaning a rifle?” “I look at the number,” answered the private. “What’s that got to do with it?” the sarge barked. “That,” answered Smith, “is to make sure I’m cleaning my own gun!” Let’s Get Straight! A gangling youth walked to the clerk of the codH and announced he wanted a marriage license. “Cer tainly,” said the clerk. "Where’s the bride-elect?” “What d-ya mean, bride-elect?” asked the youngster. "There warn’t no election—this gal appointed her self.” Hot Seat “Look,” the attorney pleaded with his client, “you’ve just got to give me more facts to work with. Don’t you understand, man, that you’re facing the electric chair?” The prisoner looked not at all concerned. “That’s okay by me,” he said. “Just make sure I don’t have to sit in it!” Separation Millie: “What did Jim and Mary do about their house when they got their divorce?” Mollie: “Mary says they divided it, half and half.” Millie: “flow could they do that?” Mollie: “Oh, she’s agreed to stay inside and he’s agreed to stay out side.” NATURE BOY “Above all,” the doctor argued, “you must eat more fruit, and par ticularly the skin of the fruit. The skin contains all the vitamins. What, by the way, is your favorite fruit?” The patient looked gloomy. “Co conuts,” he said. Too Mach Trouble A minister advertised, for a handyman and the next morning a neat young man rang the bell. “Can you start the fire and have breakfast ready by seven o’clock?” asked the minister. The young man thought he could. “Can you polish all the silver, wash the dishes and keep the house and grounds neat and tidy?” was the next question. “Look, Reverend,” protested the young man. “I came here to see about getting married, but if it’s going to be anything like that, you can count me out right now!” TOUGH COURSE A novice golfer approached the first tee, nervously glancing around to see if he were being observed. Sure enough, there were about 30 people sitting on the club house porch. Undaunted he teed up, se lected his club, swung it in a mighty arc—and missed. He swung again and again, missing the ball each time. Finally, he wiped his fore head, turned to his audience and said, ‘Tough course, ain’t it?” A Question “Hello! Is this the city bridge department?” “Yes! What can we do for you?” “How many points do you get for a little slam?” CONSERVATION A speaker was lecturing on for est reserve. “I don’t suppose,” said he, “that there’s a person in the house who has done a single thing to conserve our timber re sources.” Silence ruled for several sec onds, and then a meek voice from the rear of the hall timidly retorted, “I once shot a wood pecker.** RIMIN' TIME ByPOSEN HearlRuncake is forever WAILING, T THINK MV POOR OLO EYES AND THEN SHELL STOICS SURE AS FATE, A SPECK OF ASH SPILLED SV HER MATE/ MUTT AND JEFF WHAT A BREAK/ MVTP/AL COMES UP TDOfiV RK7WAT AUTO ACCIDENT AND IT OUST SO HAPPENS THAT MV PAL, lJURV/ JI DID PUN THAT 6UV$ } fSO,lF VfaU CONVINCE THE /a OAR BUT I COULDN'T HELP IT— VOL) KNOW THAT/ OTHER JURORS SO I'LL HAVE TO FAV, SAV> flOO damages, I'm blow you TO A SWELL FEED/ flnissmeE DENOTES A LAPSE OF THREE HOURS- THE JURY HAS &EEN DELIBERATING/ WONDERFUL, JEFF/ i only have to PAY *100 DAMAGES- BUT WHAT TOOK YOU JURORS SO LONS TO DECIDE/ By Bud Fisher THE OTHER I ELEVEN GUYS WANTED TO | ACQUIT MOU R BUT I TALKED ,C M OUT OF (T/ WYLDfe AND WOOLY WE VE MAD A GRAND TIME IN NEW YORK.

He was riding down in the elevator one morning and met another tenant. ‘Tell me honestly,” he said to the neighbor, “does my practicing make you nervous?” “Well, it used to, when I first heard the other tenants complaining about it," the neighbor replied, “hut now I don’t care what happens to you.” Face Savers Two Chinese purchasing agents for Chiang in Washington have been recalled -for alleged fancy work in connection with their buying opera tions.

When cases were brought before him he would take out, with a flourish, a fine look ing book, inside of which he had fastened a Sears-Roebuck catalog.
