CcRIB BLEC G
~ BY ROBT. H. YERKEs -

IN RESPONSE to an invitation ex-
tended by Rev. M. E. Hunger
ford, pastor of Calvary Metho-
dist Church, the members Of Tenn
pie Lodge, A. f. and A. NJ, of this
city, will attend that church in a
body this coming Sunday morning.
Each year the Masonic order OBJ
serves a go-to-church Sunday, and
those members who are unable to
attend this particular service at the
local church, invariably go to the
church closest to them and worship.
In Germany, however, Hitler says
that Masons are enemies of the
state and won't let them attend
church services or public gather
ings of any kind held within the
Greater Reich, but then we hear
that German church services are
rather dull and public meetings
are a thing of the past-what with
all the public buildings jammed
packed with the wounded shipped
home from the glorious victories
Cd on the Russian front.

GEORGE MITCHELL, the genial
- barkeep at the Windsor Cafe,
relates the following true story: A
few days ago a gentleman from
New Castle, with party of friends,
put up at the Now Hotel Norman,
while they enjoyed a hunting ex-
cursion in the lower part of the
state. One night over a scotch and
soda the gentleman became remin-
iscent, and told Mr.. Mitchell that
about 80 years ago he came to Mil
ford on a similar expedition, which
to say the least was a decided sue
cess with the party bagging so
quail Returning to the hotel they
asked the chef to place the birds
in the hotel ice box for them until
they were ready to leave. The next
morning dawning bright and clear,
the party repaired to the dining
room where they found delicious
breakfast of quail on toast await
ing their pleasure. LOOKING around
the room they noticed that score
or more other guests Of the hotel
were also enjoying the delicacy,
and one Of the party remarked Lnat
all of the hotel guests had evil
IDENTIFY had a good days hunting
the previous day and were enjoying
the fruit Of their labors afield. Fol-
lowing breakfast the party decided
to extend their visit another day,
and started on the hunt. This day,
however, they had no luck, and re-
turning to the hotel somewhat dis
couraged,. they contacted the chef
and asked for their eighty quail
less the IL used for their breakfast.
Imagine their surprise and cha
grin when the chef told them that
misunderstanding their instruc-
tions he had served all the guests
in the hotel with their birds. At
this point in the gentleman's mar
rative Mr.. Mitchell interrupted to
tell him that he was sitting in the
same dining room in the same
hotel. In fact, everything. was the
same except the quail ), t9Iwhich the
gentleman agreed--for lin a. days |
