Wanted to be smart and prove to the kids I could take it so went ice skating with them. I managed to struggle thru the afternoon but the next day and the next and still the next, the re- actions started to set in. Every muscle, and a few places that aren't muscle (my landing fields) ache to the nth degree. Why, won't me old fossils give up and bz con- tent to sit back and admit we're no spring chickens? I heard a good one down at the beauty parlor on Friday. It seems there’s a Back Run farmer whose going to move to the city causz he just heard that the country’s at war. With the fuel oil situation what it is, a hired girl settled the prob- lem of warmth where she was working without any trouble. She'd take an electric heatir from room to room with her as she tidyed up the house. Finally, quite exasper- ated, the lady of the hous2 com- plained: “You'll have to turn that off! You're wasting money! You've had that electric heater on all day.” But the maid explained: “Oh, don’t let that woiry you, ma'am. It isn't ours; I borrowed it from next door.” Which reminds me that a lady uptown told me that difficult as it is to get help, she had to leave her new maid go because she had such sharp ears she had the doors all scratched up around the keyholes.. oe avis 4 Ouch!! Sitting up at Van's last night the fellow next to me said: “Look at the pretty telephone girl sitting over ther2 in the booth.” I looked and then inquired: “How do you know she’s a telephone girl?” And he instantly replied: “Because I said ‘Hello’ twice and got no ans- wer.”....That explains it. One of cur service men in Eng- land was the houseguest of an Eng- lish soldiesr and they were com- paring notes on customs of their native lands when the Britisher said: “With all due deference, my deah fellow, I really think our Eng- lish custom at the phone is bet- ter than saying ‘Hello’ as you do,” And our American lad asked: “Why? What do you say over here,” The Englishman replied: “We say ‘Are you there’ Then, of course, if wou are not there, there is no use in going on with the conversation.” eae I think they've got something there. Seeing Jerry and Bill and the rest of these local youths with their manly manes curling down over their collars reminds me of an ec- centric old uncle of mine who didn’t get his hair cut for ten years. ....Course, he had a good reason.. ..He was bald! A Salunga lady who is alwaysat- tending farm sales for bargains didn’t make out so good yesterday. She went to a sale and bought a rare old Venus watch. But, it does- n’t do her a darn bit of good causa | she can’t tell the time. A Venus watch bas no hands....... In other words they gave her the works. Which reminds me of a clock that was brought to a local jewelers by a Florin lady. She had always wanted a cuckoo clock so she got one for Christmas but she was hav- ing trouble. She told the jeweler | it oos before it cucks. ; Standing on the square in Lan-| caster on Saturday I saw one lady | who was so cold she circles under her eyes. Corny, ain’t | it? today, she means soldiers, sailors | and marines. | Now wasn’t it much nicer to stay — | home on Sunday then roam all over Here's a few classroom classics | the highways in the cold? We from our studious students— think so. Let's try it more often. An abstract noun is something REG’LAR FELLERS—Very Sensible By GENE BYRNES WANNA SUE TH! DAYLIGHTS OUTA BEANO GOLDEN! BUMP HUDSON RAN ME. AN’ KNOCKED M DOWN AN' RUINED’ A HUNK OF CANDY. TWO MEN WHO DESERVE PRAISE AND HONOR ) The death of a man named Joe Gunson didn’t mean anything to you and perhaps Bob Bescher who also died recently struck no chord in your memory either. But these two are names in baseball history and pay a role there. Joe Gunson invented the catcher’s mitt. Before 1888 catchers used a glove with only reinforced fingertips and con- fingers unless a kind pitcher would slow down his fast balls! Before the invention of the mitt the catch- er kept his position so far back of the plate he almost wasn’t in the game. Now with the mitt he is in the limelight and becomes a field director of the game, usually. Bob Bescher, with the Cincinnati Reds in 1911, set a National League rec- ord by stealing 80 bases. This still holds. Some fans have no praise fcr stealing bases but those who study the gamie for all it has in it, say that base-stealing is one of the prettiest of the plays. So a salute to these two names of a game that is all American. IRONVILLE The Christian Endeavor Society of the United Brethren Church held its regular meeting on Sunday evening. The service was opened with a reading by the President, Carolyn Mummaw. Several hymns were sung by the members. The scripture. Deut. 7:9-11 and John 14 19-21 was read by Dorothy Cooper.

In civilian life he was employed as a trackman, January, 5, 1943 Dear Sir: I just want to let you know that the Mount Joy Bulletin which you have been sending to me, is very much appreciated. Thank you! I should also like to thank the Com- munity Remembrance Committee and the American I -gion for their generous Chris’ aas rifts. 1 talked and mci many people from all parts of the United States, and I have never heard of any commun- ity which does as much for those in the service as Mt. Joy. I think the people of Mount Joy are to be congratulated for such a firs atti- tude. I knew that all of us in the service ate very grateful to all of you. Some time ago you published inyour paper a list of those in the service with their mailing aidress- es. You have no idea of how in- teresting and valuable that list can be to me. For a long time I had wished for something like that. I felt sure that somebody from Mt. Joy would be located in the same vicinity that I was, sometime, but I have sure until I saw that list of names in the paper. I think it wasanex- cellent idea, and I hope you will be able to do it again with any change of addresses. I for one, have changed my ad- dress since that time. I have been transferred from the Naval Air Station, Corpus Christi, Texas, to Purdue University in Indiana. I would appreciate very much if you would change my mailing address to that given above. Thank you again. i Very truly yours, CHARLES H. SHANK Lt." (jg) U.S.N.R.

V —— You can get all the news of this locality for less than three cents 8 week through The Bulletin. Vv re- moved around quite a bit. I have received tthe Bulletin continually since I have entered the service, which is just about a year’s time, and I cannot emphasize how much pleasure it brings to me when I receive it every Saturday morning. Since I've been in the service I've traveled through twenty-eight states and part of Canada. TIve seen many different conditions un- der which people live, and I feel very fortunate that I was born and raised in such a nice community as Mount Joy. In closing I wish to send my sin- cere’ thanks and hope to’ be back home with you all soon again. Sincerely, PVT. SAMUEL S. MILLER 9th Comm. Sou. A. S.
