Snuffed Out; No
Snoose Shipment

"Yumpin' Yimminy, fallers, the

snoose enthusiast at the prospect
Of no snuff for Christmas.
But Tobacconist Sam Lavroff,
who WHOLESALERS much Of the local
supply. Gained those fears. Only
one of the shipments-Tacoma

VARIETY Is THE SPICE OF LIFE
ri BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good evening.

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE
Variety, they say, is the spice OF life,
And you get 1t over the air,
Some like the blue-sy brassy bands
Others favor symphonic fare
The airwaves furnish an extensive menu
To satisfy your every wish.
It all depends on what you like,
Just what is your special dish.
What a lot Of operas you get to know
without spending much money If any,
And it's nobody's business but yours
If you prefer j. s. Bach to Benny
It all boils down to matter OF taste
And what you like in entertainment fare,
Variety, they say, is the spice OF life
And you get it over the air.
