Well, this time he was fishing at Fairy Stone park, right out in the middle of the lake, and all of a sudden Mr. Ripple falls overboard. Yes siree, fell right out the boat back wards. Honestly, Mr. Ripple, your friends are going to begin to worry about you. for fear of your getting the idea of being a “deep sea diver.” We honestly think you’d be a good one, though.

V ... — i This Is Dedicated To All The Boys In Service We do not, as a rule, print much poetry, but when a splendid poem like the one below comes to our de-sk we cannot resist it; especially when the poetess is one of us—an employee in our Bedspread Mill. And we thank Mrs. Jones for the privilege of print ing it. * * * The great invasion has started Many heads bend low To hide the tell-tale tears that start As off to battle you go. But each cloud has a silver lining And God will see you through; Just look to Christ for guidance And He will take care of you. You are serving the land that gave you birth, And the ones who are dearest to you on earth; There’ll be fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, Sweethearts, wives, friends and others. Each hour that passe-s they’re thinking of you. And trusting God to see you through. Would it help you a lot, dear boys out there. Just to know your loved ones are breathing a prayer; Buying Stamps and War Bonds, too. And beseeching God to see you through? Mrs. Ada Eastridge Jones, 3 Warren Avenue, Spray, North Carolina. V . . . — Cop: “Didn’t ya hear me yell for you to stop?” Lady Driver: “No, sir.” Cop: “Didn’t ya hear me whistle?” L. D.: “No, sir.” Cop: “Didn’t ya see me signal?” L. D.; “No, officer.” Cop: “Well, I guess I might as well go home. I don’t seem to be doing much good around here.”
