Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-05-16
JOTTINGS FROM 522

Brothers, we are about to hold a
celebration in honor of Joe McKenna,
who has just returned from overseas
duty. Now it's our duty, each and
every one who does not work on the
night shift at the round house, to be
there and welcome our friend and
brother back. The committee will
have everything in readiness for the
occasion, and there are also two proud
fathers who will see that you have
good time; and in order to show your
respect and we'll wishes you should be
there and shake hands with them and
wish many happy days to the new boy
and girl. There will be a short ad-
dress of welcome, also a toast and a
presentation speech. There will be
piano music and singing by the pipe
filters glee club didn't know there
was one, huh?) and so many other
things to make you good natured that
it would take a whole page of the
Leader to tell you about it. But let
me say this as word of warning,
come prepared to laugh, eat, drink
whistle and smoke. The first man
caught with frown on his brow Will
have to buy the smokes for the bunch.
It's the night wherein We all must be
scciable, bury the hatchet and smoke
the pipe of peace. The committee
has not decided yet just what mode
of punishment will be meted out to
anyone found unsociable, but you can
count on something severe. They
may possibly give a prize to the one
who shows the greatest amount OF
sociability, SO it is up to all to do
their best. Come with the bells on
and leave the hammer and maui at
home; there will be no knocking not
even at the door. Don't forget, Bros,
you are all welcome as the sunshine,
and if you get sore feet from sitting
down too long Bros. Workman and
Bowman will take you home or to the
hospital in their machines.
