The “Bee” last month put forth the following question: Why can’t Branch 439 have a club house? That is what we’d all like to know. Branch 8 has been in Johnstown for more than forty years and has done little to help itself, let alone our branch. So what can we expect from them? Recognizing the fact that Branch 8 has its own worries, let us make the possession of a club house possible by holding dances, card parties, picnics, etc. In that way we’d be under no obligation and would merit the admiration and respect of all branches. “Heaven ne’er helps the men who will not act.”— Sophocles. * * * Begin inviting Pittsburgh, Windber and the other nearby towns and soon we’ll receive their invites. Fraternally, THE FOX, guests. The “özvegyasszonyok Bálja” will-not soon be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to enjoy its gaiety and laughter. Dad’s Reason Bobbie was late for Sunday School and his teacher asked the reason. “I was going fishing, but daddy wouldn’t let me,” said the boy. “Your father,” said the teacher, “was parfectly right. I suppose he explained why you shouldn’t go fishing on Sunday.” “Yes,” replied the boy. “He said there wasn’t enough bait for both of us.” * * * Too Late She wanted to be in the beauty chorus, so she wrote an application, and was asked to come for an interview. Imagine her surprise when she was told by the manager that she was too late. “Is the position filled then?” she asked. “No,” replied the manager, “I meant that you should have come when you had your photograph taken.” * * * Doing Well Faith: “Why do you call your boy friend “Pilgrim”?” Hope: “Because each time he calls he makes a little progress.” * * * Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men. The other 999 are followers of women. * * * Back-Talk Boss: “You should have been here at eight o’clock.” Worker: “Why? What happened?” Music Hath Charms Oldtimer: “Is your married life one grand sweet song?” Newlywed: “Well, since our baby’s been born it’s been more like an opera, full of grand marches, with loud calls for the author every night.” * * * Flattery is the best cure for stiff neck. There are few heads it won’t turn. * * * The Nut Is Gone The pastor was fond of figures of speech and one day was making a funeral oration. He began his address, “Friends, we have here only the shell of the man, the nut is gone.” * * * There was once a man who had advanced to such a pitch of selfesteem that he never mentioned himself without taking off his hat. ♦ * * Guess Why is it dangerous to go out in springs? Because the trees shoot, the flowers have pistols and bulrush is out. * * * Too many marriages are not marriages, but merely efforts to escape the monotony of staying single. * * * Time to Reflect “What would I get,” inquired the man who had just insured his property against fire, “if this building should burn down tonight?” “I would say,” replied the insurance agent, “about ten years.” NEWS FACTS ^GEORGE NiWYOKKClTV,«^ HELEN CHIPP, A RISING ACTRESS UNDER ANOTHER NAME GOT HER FIRST JOB BY SENDING A PROMINENT PRODUCER.
