I like depression!
No more prosperity for me!.' j
I have had more fun since the de
pression started than I ever had in
my life. 1 have forgotten how to
live.; what it meant to have real
friends; what it was like to eat com
mon,every-day food. Fact is, I was
petting just a little high-hat.
Three years ago only one man of
tii * News-Globe force could be out of
t,.wn at one time, ajad he had to
leave at the last minute and get
back as soon aos possible. Many
times times I have, driven 100 miles
to a banquet, sat through three hours
of bun in order to make a five-minute
speech, then driven the 100 miles
back so as to be ready for work the
next morning..
Nowadays, as many News-Globe
employes as are invited make these,
trips.and stay as. long as we want to
The whole outfit could leave the
office now and it would not make any
difference.
I like the, depress inn ! haYe time
to visit „ruy friends and tp make new
ones. Twp year§ ago. wheA l went,
to a neighboring J,owp I always
stayed at the hotel. Now I go home
with my friends, stay all night, en
joy home cooking, and I have even J
spent the week-end with some of the |
boys who have been kind enough to!
invite me.
Iv is great to drop into a store and
feel that you can spend an hour or
two or three or half a day just visit
ing, and not feel tl\at you are wasting
valuable time. I like the depression.
1 am getting acquainted with my
neighbors. In the last six months Ij
have become acquainted wit hfo.ks
who have been living next door for
'h.ree years. I am following the
Biblical admonition, “Love your
neighbors.” One of my neighbors
nas one of the best-looking wives I
have ev.r seen. She is a dandy. I
)in getting acquainted with my neigh
bors ano learning to love ’em..
Three years ago I was so busy and
my vv.te was so busy that we didn't
see much of each, other; consequently
we sort of lost interest in each other.
I never went Home to lunch. About
twice a week I weut home for din
ner—at 6;30, o’clock. I never had
time to go anywhere with her. If !
Jiil go on a p arty I never could 10
eat e’ner; as there w^s always a
blonde or redhead available I did not
worry much about it, but accepted
what the gods provided,;.. .
y wife belonged to all the clubs in
town. She even joined the ..young
mothers' club. We havp nc .ibildren,
but she was studying, and between
the bridge and clubs shp was never
at hoflie.
I have not been out cm a party in
*8 months. I have lost-my book of
telephone numbers. ,Mv wife has
dropped all the clubs. I believe we
are failing in love all .over again. .1
am pretty well satisfied with my wife.
Think I will keep her. at least .until
she is 40, and then if I feel like. I do.
now I may trade Her .for two 20s.
I have more exercise, since the de
pression. 1 walk , to town ..and lots
of folks who. used to drive Cadillacs.
are walking with me. I. like the de-.
pression.
I am getting .real, honestrto-gpod
ness good. Three years ago we had
fillet rpignoi), pnoe a week; now we
have round steak with floup gravy.
Then we had roast breast of guinea
hen; now we -are glad, to get., sow
, bosom with the buttons on it.
. I like the. depression. My salary
, has been cut to where I can’t afford
to buy lettuce and spinach and pars- j
ley and we can’t afford to have sand
wiches and frozen desserts and, all
