Every noon you can see "Bull

It's time Bob Walk is looking

Anyone knowing of a stove,

Uncle Remus says "a good
way to stay poor, is to pretend
you are rich,,.
Since we are only working 80
hours a week, we find that we
can get along without that extra
work, it's the money that makes
it so tough. How about it fell
lows? Would you like a 40 hour
pay for a 80 hour week?
H. Jones, Dept. 43, did the
double last week, by returning
to work, he also reported send
ing a As lb. salmon to Bill
O'Brien who was to divide it
with some of the fellows in the
shop, but when Bill was asked
about this, we were told that he
was feeding it to his cur dogs,
he had no idea that it was good
to eat, no doubt Bill will be eat

No doubt you have h card

No harm done, except that he

NoNere too obvious, we thought so.
Clara Wade's husband was
taken to the hospital on Octo-
Der 4th. We sincerely hope that
he will speedily recover. Orchids
to the nurses at st. VincentS S
hospital, who tok care of Mrs.
Vinson and treated her like a
queen. We told them they all ap-
peared kissable and regretted
that this was not permissible.
Edna Fought is displaying a
very attractive hair-do, but
since she doesn't read the Jour-
nal, perhaps she'll never know
how much we admire it.
Our esteemed contemporary,
Colonel Tarver, related in last
weeks issue that a lady had
fastened to Florida to see her

The Colonel hoped everything
would "come out" all right.

It's mystery to me how any
woman as proposing as Betty

and undying devotion of good

Betty would make some man
very affectionate and charming
wife.

the bowling team of which she
is member (Aviation) is lead
ing the Champion Women's
League. Swell, Leona.
Some of the women declare
they have been seeing snakes,
and judging from their actions
it may be true. Haven't been
drinking, have you, girls???
One of our friends pretends to
believe in predestination. We
know this is false, else how did
we ever miss being the president
of the United States??? Our par
ents convinced us that we were
destined to rise to this office.

politicians who are milking dry
the taxpayers. God give us men

Amazingly enough, traffic on main

most motorists had taken to heart
the warnings to keep their cars out
of the big downtown area where

On many roads traffic was defl-
nitely subnormal.
For January 20, 1t was an ideal
day. The flags whipped in the
snappy breeze, and the bunting in
the national colors strung on build

restrained motion along the line OF

AS an interlude to the breakfast,
