Maybe we’re living in them. Maybe in years to come we’ll look back to this very time and think of it as “the good old days.” The “good old days” are diffi cult to define. But perhaps when we speak of them most of us have in mind some period of the past, when, as we remember it, or as we have read of it, life more predictable, or safer and sounder, or more glamorous and exciting than it now is. But memory sometimes plays tricks on us. Memory sometimes puts a halo upon the past and forgets the privileges and plea sures and opportunities of the present. % In “the good old days” that many of us remember, we didn’t have penicillih. Pneumonia went Bickley Picks The Winners (By T. Bl Bickley) Well fans, another football sea son has rolled around and I’m back at the same old 'stand. It reminds me of the crusty old president of a country bank who suddenly decided to be candid on his eightieth birthday when someone asked him, “How did you get started in the banking business anyway?” “Wasn’t noth ing to it,” confessed old money bags. “I just hung out a sign sayin’ ‘Bank’. Fust thing you know, a fellow comes along and deposits a $100.00. A little later, another comes- along and deposits $200.00. By that time I was so confident I put in ten dollars of my own money.

At Newberry Drive-In Starring Groucho Marx, Marie Wilson and William Bendix for the first time as a comedy trio, and filled with zany action from start to finish, RKO Radio’s “A Girl in Every Port” comes to the Newberry Drve-In Sunday and Monday as one of the funniest film farces of recent years. The hilarity starts when Grou cho, an over-ripe Navy seaman, and Bill Bendix, a dumber edi tion of his Navy pal, acquire twin race horses while on shore leave, and also make the acquaintance of Marie, a devastating if dumb car-hop whose pop raised the colts. Prodded by "a bunko artist and a jockey of dubious ethics, the two sailors decide to race one horse and sell the other. Through a crazy mix-up, however, both nags are taken to the paddock on the day of the race while simultaneously the jockey is kidnapped by gangsters. Groucho and Bill, each unaware of the other’s purpose, scramble into jockey outfits and appear at the starting gate, each astride a horse he thinks is the one entered in the race. The race is a nightmare for the announcer, who knows he’s seeing double, especially when the twin colts finish nose and nose far ahead of the field. How Groucho and Bendix blun der their way out of the horrble dilemma, and what happens to the beauteous Marie, furnishes the side-splitting climax of the film. its own way. We didn’t have anti tetanus shots or diphtheria serums, or anti-toxins for typhoid. And they all took their toll. We didn’t have inspected foods and milk sealed under sanitary supervision. We didn’t have billions for every difficulty at every cross roads. We weren’t on a spend ing spree. We didn’t pay people for what they didn’t do. We didn’t have as many laws. We didn’t have as many taxes. We didn’t have central heating or .air conditioning, or Social Se curity, or luxury liners, or stream liners, or Community Chests, or PTA, or TVA, or atomic trouble Some of us can look back to the time when we didn’t have most of the things on this long list, and somehow think of those days as “the good old days." Perhaps some of us have for gotten how much we can get along without and still live rea sonably happy lives. Perhaps some of us fail to appreciate the past, and some of us fail to appreciate the present But this we must remember: We may now be living in “the good old days”—in the good old days of tomorrow. Sometimes we may look back to this very hour and say aloud, or silently, that these were “the good old days.” * NOTICE Sealed proposals will be receiv ed by the City or Newberry at the office of City Manager on October 6, 1952, at 10:00 a.m. for winter uniforms for police and firemen.
