was putting the stuff back in the
trunk again she found some let
ters Pop had written her from
Grossau and as | looked in the
room Nom was sitting on the
floor reading parts of them to
Pop and they were both laughing
and blushing like school children.
The badge was later found in an
old suit case where Nom keeps
all her junk. The ribbon was all
tattered and the medal tarnished
but Pop got it looking pretty
good now. He polished it every
day and | bought some red,
white and blue ribbon in place of
the old and you wouldn't know
it from a new one. Pop said he'd
bet Grandpresident Herr Balthes'
did not look as nice. Somehow l
like that badge myself, for it
seems that the first memory from
childhood to remain with me is
Pops badge. | remember that if
| was real good he would pin it
on me for while and how big
and proud I felt.
Pop did not know how he
would go to the convention. He
made quite study of it and l
suggested he charter a plane
since all the big shots to
the National Presidential election
go that way. no could too. This
made him pretty sore at me and
said that the good brothers elect
ed him. they also paid his expen-
ses so he was going the cheapest
way possible. So Pop got a round
trip ticket from the bus compa-
ny yesterday and today Nom
packed a lunch for him and put
some soup in the thermos bottle
and he got started. AS for his
bath robe we bought him one and
a pair OF slippers to match 70,
we were pretty proud of Pop too
for being delegate although at
times we did not act that way.
We went to the bus station
with him and gave him all kinds
OF instructions. We had tears in
our eyes as the bus pulled away.
When we got home the first
thing we saw on the table was a
box. Nom opened it and there
was Pops lodge badge. She pick
ed it up to polish it once again
when guess what-under it were
two round trip tickets to Salem.
vi course we were both surprised
and pleased. We packed our
clothes in hurry and caught the
next bus. When we got to Salem
there was Pop waiting for US.
He said, "You can give me my
badge now" Nom looked at me
and told me to give it to him.
But Mom." | said. "You have
it, We both looked for it but
neither Of us had it. We had for
gotten it at home. l guess me and
Nom must have looked awful for
Pop just bursted out laughing
and said. Come on let's get go
ing it don't make any difference
anyway" Then we all laughed
and arm in arm went to the
Sachsenheim in Salem, Ohio.

A BICYCLE IS
A TOY
Is Safety message of George J.
Matowitz, Chief of Police.

1t is time for a message to the
children; message concerning
bicycle riding. Midnight OF April
25th was the deadline for license
plates for bicycles. From that
time on police will pick up all
bicycles which do not have l04!
license tags. 1t is not that we
want to be unreasonable. bu. that
is one OF the best ways that we
have of recovering stolen pro-
perty.
Remember that a bicycle is not
a toy. It. is a means, .oi ,transpor-
sation and should be treated as
such. That is. why you have d
license. \ license signifies the
granting of a privilege and YOU
are expected to obey the rules
thct go along with that privilege.
You are in the same class with
automobile owners and are ex-
pected to obey much the same
rules. We don't permit motorists
to stunt and show off on the
streets. and cyclists shouldn't do
it either. Wo don't permit motor
lists to drive with passengers slit
ing on the hood or standing on
the running boards. and so we
must forbid children to ride 9TH
ers on the handle bars and frame.
IT all OF you children had to
buy your bicycle out OF your own
pocket. | am, sure that you would
take better care OF it. and we
would have fewer stolen bicycles
to look for. 1t is unfortunate that
we have dishonest children and
grown-ups in our community. but
the fact remains that we do. When
you leave your bicycle out on the
lawn. or unlocked and unattended
YOU are inviting these people to
steal it. Worse than that, you are
tempting them to do a dishonest
act which they would have no
opportunity to do if YOU were not
careless with your property. Take
care of your bicycle and ride it
safely.

Pop Goes TO The Convention
Bv Mariechen.

Naturally when Pop arrived
home from the meeting OF Zweig
IS in taxi Nom and | got all
excited. If Pop were a gambling
man we would've thought he had
hit the jack pot. But we know
that couldn't be for almost every
meeting he gets up and starts on
the evils OF the "slat machines" as
he calls them.
When he walked into the house
we were all questions. But he
wouldn't reveal anything so we
lust let him take his time. What
ever it was though sure made
Pop proud.
AS we sat down to supper he
made a dramatic pause, then
spoke up. "My just wife and
daughter | have an important
announcement to make. This af-
ternoon the good brothers OF the
Zweig elected me to be the dele
gate to the Convention to be held
at Salem" OF course Nom and
made quite fuss. Then Pop
asked for a table napkin. But
what do you want that for" ask
ed Nom. We'll when | go to the
convention | want to know how
to use one" he answered. The
napkin affair was only the be-
ginning.
In the first place Pop has never
been away from home. He even
has an old fork which is his and
for no love nor money would he
use any other but since he is 60
ing to the convention he won't
use it at all. Pop refuses to eat
with the fork that has been his
pal for IS years. Nom said if
she knew that would cure him
from using the old wooden han
die two pronged crooked tool she
would have paid someone to no.
inmate him a convention delegate
twenty years ago.
Not only does he use a new
fork now but the other day he
came home with a pair OF paja-
mas. | could hear Nom in my
room laughing. for it seems Pop
put them on over his underwear
the first evening to wear them.
Poor Pop. He said pajamas were
an awful nuisance for he had to
take them off, get out of his un-
derwear and put them on again
and he did not think they were
worth that much effort.
We thought the fork and paja
mas were bad enough but when
Pop came, downstairs in my negli-
gee we almost died. He said, 81
believe if these feathers were cut
off and Nom would sew a piece
in the rear maybe | could wear
this and ! would not have to buy
any" Pop certainly was sight
for the negligee is a pale pink
flimsy affair with pale blue ieath-
er trim around the sleeves and
the neck line down to the floor.
After that episode Pop asked
Nom where his badge was. She
said she thought it was in the
bottom OF the old trunk. Anyway
Nom started to hunt for it and
everything was taken out. Pop
was getting mad at Nom and
Nom was still madder at Pop.
He said that an important thing
like lodge badge should be TAX
en- care OF in a better manner.
That made Nom real mad and !
was getting worried but as Nom
