There’s countless thoughts we can’t express When it comes .time to part. Of coui se well tell you to be brave When you are far away, But first of all comes this ad vice: “Son, d< n't forget to pray.” | We won’t be with you over there Your hand can’t touch ours when J You reach for just a friendly clasp, And comes remembrance then, ■ But up Above there's Someone • who Hears every word you say: So when things are the toughest, son, “Just don’t forget to pray." There ain’t much we can say to help When times like these arise, Except to say ’tis best to look For aid up in the skies. For He who watches over you After you have gone away Will be the One who cares for you; “So don’t forget to pray.” Some day you will be back with us— Some day you’ll understand That pathways leading to the best Are guided by His hand. And though there ain’t much folks like us— Just plain old folks—CAN say, Tis with believing hearts we ask: “Son . . . don’t forget to pray.” It’s Oil In Fun Stout l<ady (at a filling sta tion): “I want swne oil.” Attendant: “What kind,heavy?” Stout l,ady: “You impertinent pup!” EsssSeS GEORGE P. FAILLE Candidate for City Council I have covered about every sec tion of the city and 1 notice that numerous streets are greatly in need of repairs. Many others which have never been hard sur faced should be paved. Condi tions along these lines are deplor able. We should provide more recre ation facilities for our youngsters. The present conditions are utter ly inadequately organised or su pervised and supervised recreation should prevail. Improvements along this line may well be ac companied by a gratifying • de crease in Juvenile delinquency. 1 am strong in favor of repeal of the sewerage charge which is levied against municipal water users. This situation should be very promptly corrected. We should provide public comfort sta tions in the center of Charlotte. Also I am in favor of provision of Ire protection, police protec tion. sewerage facilities, water and lighting facilites for the peo ple who live in the newly annexed areas of Charlotte. In 1941 1 was a member of the Laborer’s Union of Fitchburg, Maas., Local, and I have three brothers members of the Machin ists’ Union in Boston, Mass., so therefore 1 understand Labor’s problems and if elected I will serve labor and the people of Charlotte honorably and welL —Paid Political Adv. p • \VURLlIZER ianos Ill *e*ta JUL $525.00 cm*, ns m m.
