HUSBANDS A farmer insured the life of a hog for $10,000. It was a valu able hog, a blue ribbon winner. When crossing a railroad track it stopped to eat a potato that had fallen between the tracks. A train was approaching. The farmer tried to push the hog off the track. It was a large stubborn hog and didn’t push easily. Both the farmer and the hog were killed. The farmer’s wife received $10,000 from the insurance on the hog, but noth ing for the loss of her husband. A striking contrast in values. The dead hog was worth more than the dead husband. The hog was an asset—the dead husband, a liability. The widow paid the farmer’s debts, taxes, and burial expenses out of the insurance on the hog. The hog was buried in a ditch—the farmer in a nice cemetery, not withstanding the fact that the farmer had no pedigree—no blue ribbons and no insurance. ISMS DEFINED Going the rounds right now are the following definitions, which are amusing enough to warrant further circulation: Socialism: You have two cows—you give one to your neighbor. Communism: You have two cows and give both to the gov ernment — the government gives somebody else the milk. Facism: You keep the cows and give the milk to the gov ernment—the government sells part of it back to you. Naziism: You have two cows —the government shoots you and takes both cows. Good health and good sense are two of life’s greatest bless ings. For an interesting personali ty analysis go over and watch people come through the door connecting the Machine Room basement and the Superintend ent’s Office. If he is an opti mist, he runs through and hopes for the best; if he is a pessi mist, he hardly opens the door and tries to sneak through without getting “hit”; if he is phlegmatic, he just goes thru as usual but then gets mad if his hair gets messed up. Mother: “Daughter did I see you kissing that young Roberts last night?” Daughter: “Well, mother, he told me he had just lost an uncle, and I felt sorry for him.” Mother: “Well, if I know that young man he won’t have a relative left in a week’s time.” CHARLIE’S SON RETURNS We are happy to announce the safe return of Dr. Robert Margolis to the U.S.A. Bob worked in the Champagne Shipping Department till IVl arch of 1940, when he left to complete his med ical studies in Lausanne, Switzerland. Bob had a very uneventful boat trip home —no submarines or raiders. He plans to intern for a year before hanging out his shingle. minute JUMPING From atop the Empire State Building you can look across at the giant clock in the Metro politan Tower. The minute- hand on this clock is seventeen feet long and weighs a ton. Each minute it jumps a foot! Watching it, you can see it jump. Each hour it jumps 60 feet—each day 1440 feet. That minute-hand is a re minder that life is a matter of minute-jumping. How high we jump in a year, or a lifetime, simply is the grand total of our minute-jumping! Each minute gives you an op portunity to jump toward your goal. Jump upward by using that minute to push your work, start an important letter, begin a friendship, learn something new, or renew your faith. Let each minute find you a jump ahead on the path to your heart’s desire. Where you are today de pends upon the minute-jump ing you did during your yester days. Where you will be to morrow depends upon the minute-jumping you do from now on! Use each minute to jump toward the bigger, broad er, finer life that can be yours! DOWN THE HOME STRETCH ALL-STAR GAME AUG. 13th 8:15 The hired girl had been sent down to the brook to fetch a pail of water, but stood gazing at the flowing stream apparent ly lost in thought. “What’s she waiting for?” asked her mistress who was watching. “Dunno”, wearily replied her husband. “Perhaps she hasn’t seen a pailful she likes yet . The calls to Big Time jobs come to those who do Small Time tasks well. Wife: “I didn’t like that new secretary of yours, so charged her this morning.’ Husband: “Before giving her a chance?” Wife: “No, before giving you a chance.” Ecusta Has Three More Home Games The Ecusta baseball team has six more games to convince Enka that the wrong team is in first place. Three of these re maining games will be played at home and three away from home. The season up-to-date has been nip and tuck and from all appearances it will continue until the last game. There are several crucial games left in the bag that will determine the final outcome. May the best team win!
