A victory final we seek;
So forward to rescue the world
(maybe more)--
On forty-fotlr hours week!
No times to be lost in this job that's
ahead
Our efforts must rapidly soar;
So let our endeavors be rapidly
spread
On forty-four hours, no morel
The world is on fire; we feel the hot
flames;
Around us, we see the walls fall;
So into the blaze and the holocaust,
For forty-four hours, that's all!
The enemy, ruthless, is at us full tilt,
Our lives and our homes are at
stake;
So into the fight in which no one can
wilt
Unless the work limit we break!
We never have faced such terrible
fight
Defeat is a possible fact;
So over the ramparts with all Of our
might
Observing the Walsh-Healy act!
Like slaves we would live if the
enemy won
And get few pennies per day,
So into the battle! And no ordeal
Excepting one affecting our PAYl
A barbarous foes winning great
victories
He stops at no outrage or crime;
So forward to bring the beast down
on his knees
UNLESS 1T INVOLVES OVER
| TIME!
What's causing all those Florida
train wrecks? The last one was
head-on collision in broad daylight,
and Elmer Twitchell suspects that,
the racing influence being what it
is down that way, somebody thought
the trip was jumping event.
Oh, Boy!
Explanations from Vichy
Sound terribly fishy.

"Sir Stafford Grips, the new min
lister named in the British cabinet
shake-up, was firm critic of STAN
ley Baldwin's policies, he regarded
the British action in the Ethiopian
crisis as hypocritical, he held that
the League of Nations had gone back
on its pledges, he opposed the British
sly support of General Franco, he
fought appeasement all the way and
had no use for Neville Chamber
lain."- Newspaper item.
That would seem to make him
pretty much a man of the hour

MIR. Snyder: "Mr. Chairman, we
are now engaged in most stupen-
dous and destructive war The
question confronting us today iswhat
we, the democracies, must continue
to do, or must initiate and do, to
eventually win. The University of
Pittsburgh's football team last fall
started off by losing to small col
leges like Westminster. They lost
every game except the next to the
last one. Fordham had won every
game and was looked upon to be the
outstanding contender for the Rose
Bowl invitation. Fordham went to
Pittsburgh to play their annual
game. Only few thousand people
turned out because they thought it
would be a pushover at 100 to for
Fordham. But what happened?
Pittsburgh's football team pulled it.
self together and ran over Fordham.
''Mr. Chairman, ! mention this
because it is appropriate and APP
plicable to our world situation. What
enabled Pittsburgh to win that day?
Only one thing, spirit and deterni-
nation. Congressional Record.
Now that that's all cleared up,
i let's 60!

Believe it or not, we know Of a
case where young man who is
about as husky physical specimen
as we have ever seen, unmarried
and anxious to get into the war,
tried to join the coast guard and
was rejected on the ground his upper
and lower teeth didn't meet! P.S.-
They took him in the draft.
