BITTER-SWEET TRUTH

Like horseshoe pitching, writing is Competitive, in essence;
 The joy of conflict marks it's course And gives it effervescence.

 His wits against another's To skim the gravy to be had | But seldom makes them brothers. Alas, however, it's the truth A scattering of singers And prosiSts always seem to have A corner on the ringers.
 The average ink-stained wretch who pens
 His humdrum disquisition
 Will not admit it, but, in fact, He's out of competition.
 The left-behind, the talents dim, The ones who fail-and show it. Are still the happiest of all,

The Omaha Central Labor I'm

from each Of the local unions of
the American Federation of La

ORGANIZED labor has always
been in favor of anything that
will help the schools, Mr.. WITT
ling declared. "The publis schools
mean a great deal to u child

schools stated with sufficient
well-trained and well-paid en-

The English language in Amer

words are made and how they
reflect the life of people. This
value will help you to speak well

Much has been written and
spoken about the use of slang.
Some slang words are rugged and
are impressive of the things they
signify. Wherein, they are not con
sidered the finest English. The
occasional use of slang, makes
language more vivid and color
full. Some words we use today
Familiarity never would have been
used by a writer a number of
years ago, as correct English,
They would be regarded as indie
licate and used as a slang word

be used, but they should be used

6. Does Constitutional Amend

but he goes out with another wo-
man. When / see them together
it burns me up. What do you think
of me getting me another man
and flirt with him in front of him

Ans: That's the sensible thing
for you to do. There is no logic
to your sitting home while he goes
out and has fun even though he
does claim he loves you. He has
not proved it. Make other friends
just as soon as you can and give
your boyfriend a little stiff COM
petition and see how he reacts to
a dose of his own medicine. Per-
haps it will open his eyes. =

Fishing in the Chesapeake con-
tinues very spotty. indeed. We've
had information lately that the
Norfolk spot were commencing to
nit off Breezy Point and of one very
successful trip to the Gooses at
night. On the other hand. a group
of nine of our friends fished all one
day this week and netted a total of
five fish. Chumning with grass
shrimp over in the Eastern Bay area
continues to be the one bright spot,
albeit an expensive method of fish
ing. However, in our opinion, a few
extra dollars split among a party
that will almost assure you good
sport as against poor or very in
different sport is money we'll spent.
Along the coast the fishing con-
tinues excellent. From Stewart
Kenyon comes word that the broad
bill swordflsh have hit in off Mon
tauk Point. Four fish were docked
at the Montauk Yacht Club last
Sunday. Trout. kingfish and croak-
