CHATHAM BLANKETEER
April 1, 1940
New Boiler Control
In a complete state of bewilderment with an instruction book,
a good old-fashioned head scratching thinking spell with all the
trimmings, is found Jake Brown in front of the new boiler control
panel. This array of instruments and controls handle the firing
of the new boiler automatically in everj^ respect regardless of load
changes, always keeping steam at the correct pressure.

championship for two years.
Both games were played before
packed houses. The final games
were played before a crowd of five

Blue Skies of America
Spring is near at hand, the
loveliest season of all the year. It
is the period wlien the eyes turn
again towards the future with
new hope, when new opportuni
ties become apparent. We won
der if the people of other lands,
though, see in the blue skies of
spring the same promise and the
same beauty that we Americans
find.
The sky is just as blue in other
lands, it is true. But the clear
air and blue sky and bright sun
light are there only if we see
them. And the average Ameri
can has far more reason for en
joying the coming of the new
season than do the people of any
other nation in the world.
It is a truth that has never
been more important, never been
more evident, than it is today.
We still have the highest
standard of living in the world.
Every average man and woman
and child among us has more of
the good things of life, more ma
terial goods to use and enjoy.
than the ordinary citizen of any
other country on the face of of
the globe.
We still have opportunity in a
free land. Our right to do what
we want, work at our own job in
stead of the job set for us by gov
ernment, use our free time in our
own way, is still our own. People
in other lands are often not so
fortunate.
We still have the materials
with which to build a better fu
ture—^raw materials, independent
human beings with initiative and
ability, a more efficient and big
ger industrial system than any
other nation.
And we have peace, while most
of the rest of the world is at war
or is trembling on war’s brink . . .
No wonder Americans — every
one of us — welcome spring,
spring’s promises, and spring’s
blue skies!
A Toast
Here’s to you: May you live a
thousand years, and I a thousand
years less one day; so that I will
never know that a friend like you
passed away.
WISE CRACKS
(AND OTHERWISE)

doesn’t always fit a night-latch.
2. One man who can succeed
by letting things slide is the

he thought—he’d be speechless.
4. Poverty is a state of mind to
some extent, caused at times by
a neighbor’s new car.
5. The way to be sure of a
man’s friendship is to not put it
to the test.
6. “In the Spring you can’t
trust yourself,” says a syndicate
writer. Gosh! Who wants to?
7. A college education seldom
hurts a man if he’s willing to
learn a little something after he
graduates.
8. “Hear no evil, see no evil,
speak no evil,” and you’ll never
be a success at a bridge party.
9. The objection to gardening is
that by the time your back gets
used to it your enthusiasm is
gone.
10. This is no advertisement,
but we feel impelled to say that

Guests of Kiwanians
Members of the local Kiwanis
club entertained the officials of

A Short Trip
Life is but a journey, taken on
a train, with a pair of travelers
at each window pane. I may sit
beside you the whole journey
through, or I may be seated else
where, never knowing you. But if
fate should place me to sit at
your side, let’s be pleasant trav
elers—it’s so short a ride.—Sun
