The Joy Of Beings
An Editor
Getting out this little paper is no
picnic.
If we print jokes, people say
we’re silly;
When we don’t, they say we’re
too serious.
If we clip things from other maga
zines
We are too lazy to write them
ourselves;
If we don’t, we are too fond of
our stuff.
If we don’t print contributions
We don’t appreciate true genius;
If we do print them, the magazine
is filled with junk.
Now, like as not, some one will
say we swiped this
From some other magazine ....
WE DID!

“In traveling over the county 1
have noticed that your employe®*
invariably have splendid gardens
at their homes,” he stated. “I wish
to commend your encouragement
of home production of foods to
gether with full time industrial
employment. Your interest in s
crmbination of agriculture and in
dustry is resulting in better citi
zens* and better pupils in our
schools. Garden projects appeal to
me especially because research
revealed that a child with plenty
of vitamin and mineral rich
is more successful in school wort
“The occasion of this letter is
to extend to your Victory garden

products to the County Community/
Cannery and can them under su

prices and sell them to the patron*
at cost. In addition there is •
small fee which will be somewh**
larger this year in view of the f#®*
that federal support has beeo
withdrawn. Details will be a**'
nounced within a few days by
Simmons and he may be seen oB
