Mental orchids, the usual tribute of this column, are in order for Carl Pryzybylski who accompanied yours truly to Mercy Hospital to donate blood to the cause of Mrs. Annie Brooks, wife of Bill Brooks. Many thanks for your thoughtfulness from Mr. Brooks and may this cooperation continue.

Clarence Clark has more trouble changing clothes after work than any three people we had ever seen-and we might add-he is no credit to the male sex when he runs around in only his shorts, looking for his clothes.

All of us are looking forward to the joy and cheer of the Christmas Season and the happy expressions on the faces of our children, grandchildren or those close to us. But it might be well to remember if you want the real enjoyment that accompanies this joyous holiday season, you had better wear your goggles on jobs that call for eye protection so that you CAN SEE those things that make life worth living.

It has been reliably reported that Ed Koperski won enough money on the World Series to buy a new car. Not enough for a down payment-but for cash.

Who was it that said, "Some minds are like concrete. All mixed up and permanently set?"

In checking the leaves of absence we find that Clara Sieja will be off for some time and by the time this reaches print she should be at home resting after undergoing surgery at Mercy Hospital. Take it easy Clara. A good rest never hurt any one.

And don't forget to get down to vote on November 4th. We might suggest that you vote for Tom Burke, the best Congressman Toledo ever had.

We wonder, now that the World Series is over, if Helen Hansbrough still thinks the Dodgers were tops. Quite costly, wasn't it Helen?

Famous last words: "I'll take the next curve-at 60 miles an hour."

The tax stamp collection of last week showed some improvement over the slow pace we were keeping. Mary Roginski, Clara Muszynski, Howard Seegert and Andy Sedlock brought in enough to take up the slack. Thanks much folks, and let's all start these stamps growing in our collection to help send the kids to camp next summer.

Have you ever tried to imagine how much a billion dollars amounts to? Well, it would take 16 trains of 100 cars each, 50 tons to the car, to transport a billion silver dollars. (Maybe we had better wait for the train to come in rather than the ship.)

It is claimed that the monetary cost of World War II would have provided a $30,000 home for EVERY family in the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia, Ireland, France, Germany, Belgium and Russia. It would also have placed about $10,000 worth of furniture in each house and provide $40,000 cash to each family.

THOSE WHO WORK
SHOULD VOTE FOR BURKE.
