Harry Eisenstein went through just
this set of experiences yesterday morn
ing. Down in the Offices OF the LehiEh
Valley. 22S South Third street. where
our winner Is employed as clerk in the
secretary's Office, there has been a good
bit OF joshing going on because Eisen-
stein had been so faithful at answering
the limericks and hadn't ever hao MS
name on the ballot.
Yesterday morning Fate must have
been looking on. because the joshing
vas particularly heavy. Then came the
momeptous phone call.
The darkest hour was just before
the dawn" Eisenstein remarked or,
otherwise, "Atn't It a grand and Slo'
rious feelins?"

Lerion Post Awards Prize
We had q mighty good time Tuesday
nixht when today's winner was chosen.
We went out TO the Squadron Armory
at Thirty second street and Lancaster
avenue where the members of the
Ladies' Auxiliary Of the Donald T.
Shenton Post, No. 1870, OF the Ameri'
can Legion held their first annual
dance.
the winner. More than one hundred
and eighty people filled out the ballots
Indicating which one Of the ten lines
they thought was the best.
And meanwhile all those attractive
girls and active young men were
dancing around and we thought that we
would like to try to shake our shoulders
A little, but in just a few minutes we
were frmly convinced Of the fact that
our dancing days are over. And you
can take Il from US that we we're not
Bit pleased to realize this.
The members Of this post OF the
American Legion Who attended the
dance. arc virtually all members OF the
Engineers Club, at 1917 Spruce street
and most Of them served overseas during
IN. world war with Companies and
s. Of the l03d Engineers. which we're
organized by the Engineers Club. They
certainly had a great time at that dance
and we did, too. because everybody did
| everything possible 20 make US feel at
home. but they couldn't put pep in our
| aid legs nor could they make our bald
dome stop shining. Such Is life!
When we finally counted the votes
we found that the winning line bad been
