ENJOY YOURS EN- ROUTE"

49,
ENJOY YOURS EN- ROUTE"
SOMETIMES, old Pal, in the morning
When the dawn is cold and gray.
And lay in the ferfumed feathers,
think OF the stunts of the night be
forc
And sfsiie a feeble smile,
And say to myself for the hundredlh
time:
is it really worth the while?'s
Then I pick up the morning paper
And | see where some sanity man
Who never was reused in all his life
And who never said "Help or
Damn
Who never stayed out till the wee
small hours.
Or lolIied a gay soubrette,
Gut preached on the evils of drinhin
The cards, and the cigarette.
Cut off in the prime Of useful life"
The headlines gibIy say
Or "Snatched by the grim reaper
He has crossed the great highway.
They bury him deep while few
friends weep
And the world moves on with a sigh,
And the sanity man 10 forgotten
Even as you and !.
Then ! ray to myself. We'll Bill, ole
scout,
When you are called to take the
jump,
When you reach the place where the
best and the worst,
Must bump the etefnal bump,
You can smile to yourself and ohuckle
Though the path be exceedingly
hot,
When you were on earth you were
moving some,
Nov is that an unholy thought"
Then arise and attach a cracked ic,
band nt ttfttst5 1860
To the crown of my battered hat
And saunter forth for a cold gin-fzz--
She's a great old world at that.
And | 90 on my way rejoicing,
What's The use Of complain or sigh
Go the route, old scout, and be merry
For tomorrow you may die.

not arrange to recommend something
definite in the matter of an expert
survey being made of the ash and
waste disposal problem which was
presented to Council, on February
27, two months ago.
'On April 13 we wrote and asked
If you had arrived at some concIu-
sion in the matter and although we
have not received any reply to that
letter we have from time to time
noted statements in the newspapers
that you intended to take some ac-
ton at one meeting or another of

I'VE arc writing to kindly request
that you make a report and recon-
mendation in the matter of survey

OF protecting the public interest in
this matter and two months of the
year has already gone by, you can
appreciate our keen desire for you
to arrive at conclusion in the mat

clusion in the matter 10 us, namely,
that the city should have its ash and

this time by experts so that 1t can
act wisely and protect the public in

of Harrisburg along other lines were
made in this manner and we firmly
believe that the ash and waste dis

spectfully suggested. In the mean
time may we not again request a re-
port from you on this subject?"
