Bunker Hill road. is one man who
believes in world disarmament
This was proven when he walked

disarmament affair, and teh other
night at the lodge meeting I asked
fellow what 1t meant. He told
me that IL these fellows coming from
all parts Of the world would agree.
everybody would have to give up
their weapons and stop fighting.
II have done my share of fighting
and believe that it would be a good

weapon.
Take good care of that razor,
and If those fellows don't agree
when they meet. will be coming
back for It," said Lindsay as he
