WINSTON OFFICE
By One in the Office
Did a reporter of the. Blanketeer
Ever ask you to help him out?
By writing for the paper a bit of
news.
Perhaps—several times, no doubt.
And did you readily agree to try.
Or was the answer, “I haven't
time”,
Or “I really can’t write a thing”—
No news—nor yet a rhyme.
So the reporter must need sit
down
And rack his brain anew.
Longing for some inspiration
Or searching for some cue.
As he tries his best to write a line
Something important—something
worthwhile.
Perhaps some time some humor
ous thing
That you may laugh or smile.
Do you find the paper interesting
And read it with great pride.
Or do you merely give a glance
And cast each one aside?—
Is it quite fair that reporters and
staff
Should have all the work to do—
Just let me ask you a question,
pal—
Isn’t this your paper—too?
DESPAIR AND DOUBT
By Edgar A Guest
Despair and Doubt are failure’s
men.
They talk of dangers nigh.
Like ghosts they rise before man’s
eyes
His soul to terrify.
If in his mind he gives them room
They’ll shroud his thoughts in
ghastly gloom.
They’ll steal his courage and his
wit
And frighten him before he’s hit.
But Hope and Faith are victory’s
men
Who sing a rousing song.
As best they can they’ll cheer a
man
And urge him to be strong.
They’ll counsel: Pay the battle’s
cost.
While still you fight you haven’t
lost.
The fighting heart may gain the
cup.
But no one wins by giving up.
So give no space to fretful doubt;
No room to dark despair.
He’s friended best in every test
When hope and faith are there.
Despair and doubt make men
afraid,
And none fights well when he’s
dismayed.
But who to hope and faith clings
fast
A^iil hold off failure to the last.
SHAGGY HE-MAN EFFECTS
ALL AI.ONG CLOTHES LINE
Shaggy effects are not confin
ed to suitings and overcoating but
will play a prominent part in the
Fall lines of a number of leading
manufacturers in accessory fields.
Scratch felts in hats, fleecy wool
hosiery, even shaggy neckware,
mufflers and braces will be in
troduced by houses regarded as
style leaders.
“Everybody”, reads an adver
tisement announcing one new
line,“Is going to be in the rough
this fall—So here’s another chance
for wool to get out onto the fair
way and try for a ‘birdie’.”—
“Making the Grade with Wool.”

Willing To Help
“I only wish,” said the teacher,
exasperated by the naughtiness of
one of her small pupils, “that I
could be your mother for a week.”
“All right,” replied the young
ster, cooly, “I’ll speak to father
about it.”
A school teacher asked the pu
pils to write a short essay and to
choose their own subjects. A lit
tle girl sent in the following pa
per:
“My subjeck is ‘Ants’. Ants is
of two kinds, insects and lady un
cles.
“Sometimes they live in holes
and sometimes they crawl into the
sugar bole, and sometimes they
live with their married sister.
“That is all I know about ants.”
Linda: “Doesn’t Mcllwee ever
take you to the show, now?”
Madie (bitterly): “No, I think
he must havei found a girl who
can see pictures in the fire.”
The fine thing about your job
is that it offers a new adventure
every day—if you look at it that
way.
Self-aid is now being stressed
in relief work. That type of work
will make for rehabilitation and
self respect.
Daughter: “Dad, what is your
birthstone?”
Father of Seven: “My dear.
I’m not quite sure, but I think it
is a grindstone.”
