Gast general store and filling station as fire destroyed the Staab brothers paint store at Alden at midnight. Braving 15-below sero temperatures, firemen managed to keep the flames from spreading to the town's main store although efforts to save the Staab building were in vain because the blase had made such headway before the firemen arrived. Now that the second-half of the twentieth century is well under way, America's sense of humor is girding Itself for the big test on St. Valentine's Day. If the first fifty years are any indication, this century 'may go down in history «a one ironically divided between the front.and the comic mm, for recent newspaper surveys liave reported an increasing national interest in light-hearted entertainment If tne^ 1161 ttitfiiies are any indicappn, this xMitury will cert& ine£y be remembered as a happy season , for puns and gimmicks. Publishers report that well over 300 million Valentines will be exchanged this year. Almost one-half will feature humorous designs. And a great many of the novelty Valentines will say It with gestures-- even sound effected „ One clever novelty slmws grandma and grandpa dancing a happy ]ig. Inside a tambourines attached for jingling a tune. Another Valentine opens to pivot the arms of Romeo, who is Juggling Juliet's heart. A third startles the receiver with a flapping of wings and the bussing of tees when it is opened. There is also a oomic duck, who claims he's quite a lover. With a metal-snapper in his nose, he is pictured saying, 'You^ean't duck this Valentine!" Inside, he coyly adds, "You're someone who always clicks with me!" More in the romantic tradition, however, is "A Valentine To My Heavenly Wife!" It opens iHth a thin wire springing a chic cutout figure well above the earth scene i'/ J V'Av A /, Vv» - . .t below. Appropriately, fi condudea* "You're Out of World, Wifey Dear!" Incidentally, the noveltp Valentine is a comparatively elopmcnt Originally were introdnoed to attract aters. But grown-ups enjoyed them so much, they sort of took over the party. * . In the wake of thla current swing to puns and gimmicks, some publishers believe the - "big teat" will come when adoring husbands receive vegetable-like Valentines carrying such brief-tmt affectionate Verses as: My heart . . . Beets for yon! Wont you be my Valentine? Chances are .though, they'll feel out-numbered and won't complain too much. For others In the family will have risen to the occasion lb this mamyer: Hay, Pop! Happy Valentine's Ibay! Like the Calf always say# To the farmer each night ... I sure love my Fodder awrlgfct awright! Increasingly popular, publishers say, are Valentine illustrations of our four-footed friends. One card pictures a squirrel carving heart' high in the tree-tops. In true Valentine fashion,, the lovelorn afat^ rel sobs: T I Pine Fir you!
