A WISE OWL
Oh, boy, do I hurt? 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.

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.

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,

HUNTERS REQUESTED TO
SEND THEIR REPORTS
Game Protector John M. Haver-
stick today appealed to all hunters
to submit their 1942 game-kill re-
ports to the Harrisburg office of the
Game Commission before January
16.
“Your prompt cooperation in this
important matter will be greatly
appreciated both by myself and the
Commission,” Protector Haverstick
said: “It will help greatly to ex-
pedite the tabulation of the game-
kill, save considerabla time, effort,
and money, and avoid necessity for
collecting $2.00 from negligent hun-
ters.
“Last year the Commission re-
ceived 97%% of the hunters’ re-
rorts. The year before the percent-
age was 98%. This year the Com-
nission would like to see 100% re-
sponse,

ERE are a few of the ways in which a bank
{ and a farm resemble each other:
1 — They are both business enterprises; each is typical
of the “American Way."
2 — Both require initiative, planning and hard work to
achieve success.
3 — Both pay taxes und contribute to
local growth and pregress.
4 — Both have deep local roots; the suc-
cess of each is important to the
other and the prosperity of both is
vital to the entire community.
We feel a close bond of friendship
and mutual interest with the farms
in this area. If we can help you in
any way, let us know.
