Karling. SMILES A Maine logger, fresh from the big woods, watched a store clerk open a package of gaily colored, men’s pajamas. “What’s them?” he asked. “Pajamas.” “Pajamas?” echoed the logger. “What are they for?” “Why you wear them nights,” the clerk pointed out. “Want to buy a pair?” “Nothing doing,’ said- the log ger. “I don’t go nowhere nights except to bed.” Verhovay Journal April 30, 1947 CHILDREN’S CORNER DOG'S LIFE — Hungarian Folk Story — Once upon a time there was a farmer whose son was quite a husky lad. Naturally, his father wanted him to help in the field for there was so much work to be done that he couldn’t manage even though he had hired some twenty farm-hands. Sonnyboy wasn’t too happy about the whole thing, but he went along and worked like the rest of them from early morning until night, j They went to bed right away but he hardly closed his eyes when he had to get up again, for farmers have short nights at summertime. Out they went again to work and the farmer’s son cast envious glances at his dog who made himself comfortable under a bush and slept through the morning while all the others had to work their fingers off. Finally the boy got fed up and he told his father: “I wish I were a dog, then I could have it as easy as Spottie.” “I don’t care — said the father — if that’s what you want, just go ahead and lie down with him.” “Sure you don’t mind?” “Nope.” “Yippee!” — and with that he rushed to Spottie and lied down under the bush and enjoyed his rest while the others kept on working. Came noon-time and all the men sat down to eat. Spottie got up, yawned, wiggled his tail and crept closer hoping for a few bites from his master, while Sonnyboy just stepped up to his father ready to sit down and eat with him. “Oh no, Sonny — said the farmer — you are a dog now, so you stay with Spottie.” Everybody laughed and the lad got quite red in the face, but he did as he was told and sat down with the dog. Then the men started to throw bones to the dog who happily caught them and nibbled away while Sonny looked on. But he got nothing except a bone from his father. He held the bone in his hands and looked at it for a long time with tears in his eyes, but he was so hungry that he finally started chewing off the tiny bits of meat left by his father. Now the men really started to roar until the son finally threw away the bone and went to his father saying: “Dad’, I don’t want to be a dog anymore. It really is a dog’s life. I’ll be glad to work if I can have my lunch, too.” “It’s alright with me, son,” said the farmer — and gave him a big piece of meat and a hunk of bread, — “a man should work like a man and then he will have a man’s life. If he wants to act like a dog, then he will have a dog’s life.” You bet, the boy worked like any of them after that and he certainly earned not only his lunch but even his supper with an extra big piece of pie made by his mother. HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN! At last, Spring is here! Boy, oh boy! No more snow-shoveling, no more lugging of ashes! At last we can shed our coats and j catch a good old cold by running around without a cap! The doors, jealously closed throughout the long winter months, will be opened to admit sunshine, fresh air and all the dust the winds manage to sweep into the house. As the days get longer, we can stay up longer recapturing our kingdom of the streets, playgrounds, parks and woods. Boy, oh boy! Let’s get the old bike out. And the baseball bat. And the football. Look out you pedestrians and drivers: here we come! * * * j Go at it, girls and boys, and ! have a real good time! But while you are donning your playsuits, let’s have a little talk. I know you are in a hurry, so I won’t keep you. Out you go the moment you are ready . . . I know you are tired of Mom’ telling you: “Johnnie, be careful!” and “Mary, watch for the ears!” and “Be sure to be home by suppertime!” You heard it lots of times' and you know all these reminders by heart. Of course, j you can’t stop remembering it while playing robbers and cops, or in the middle of a ball game. We know that. But do you realize that Mom’ and Dad’, are just as busy as you are? Yet, they never forget you . . . Their mind is with you all the time. And they are worried. You don’t like them to be worried, don’t you? Worried people are impatient people and they get angry easily . . . But, you see, they can’t help worrying just like you can’t help forgetting about suppertime, the ears and trucks on the street, while you play . . Every day some kids are killed by automobiles. And it doesn’t help to say; “Let them look out.” They can’t always save you from getting under the wheels, no matter how well they look out. If you jump from behind a parked car into the path of a truck, there isn’t a driver in the world who could stop it . . . Just like you can’t help running into a person who unexpectedly steps in front of your racing bike . . . You can’t help it, but your father and mother will have to pay the bill . . . And those bills are high! What . I would like to ask is this: couldn’t you try to constantly remember your Dad’ and Mom’, just as they have their minds on you all the time? If they see you Always Being Careful, if they see that you always look before jumping, then they • won’t be worried. They’ll know that you are SAFE and that will make them happy . . . You want them to be happy, don’t you ? And that’s one of the many reasons why they want you to be home when you are expected. Because, if you are not, they’ll think something happened to you. They’ll be worried and as time passes, they’ll be more and more anxious . . . Maybe you don’t even know how afraid they are for you! And then, if you come in an hour or two late, black like a chimney-sweeper, you can’t be surprised that they are not happy about it. Sure, they are happy that you are back, safe and sound, but they are angry, too, because you have played a dirty trick on them . . . Don’t you feel like that if you are promised something that you don’t get after all? Sure, you say that’s a dirty trick . . . But it’s just as dirty a trick, if you do it! Remember, you promised to be careful, and you promised to be home at 6 o’clock sharp . . . And then . . . oh, but I see, you are all set. Well, I promised, too, that I won’t keep you . . . So run along and play . . . But remember, you promised! To be careful and to be back in time! Is it a deal ? Alright. Run along, kids! A little flattery, now and then. Makes husbands of the single men. “Better put me out,” suggested the cigarette to the bartender, “before I make an ash of myself.” Women! First they want sheer stockings so their legs will look bare. Now they want leg makeup that will make their bare legs look like stockings. Daughter: “Mother, what is alimony?” Mother: “It’s a married man’s cash surrender value, dear.” A shipwrecked sailor spent five years on a desert island. One day he was overjoyed to see 9 ship drop anchor in the bay. A small boat came ashore and an officer handed the sailor a bunch of newspapers. “The captain suggests,” he told the sailor, “that you read what’s going on in the world and then let us know if you want to be rescued.-’ Jim: “If I threw a kiss across the room, would you consider me bold?” Jane: “No, just lazy.’’ “Daddy, what is th curse of drink?” “Being stuck with the check.’’ Sailor to lovely young thing: “Pardon me, but I’m writing a telephone directory. May I have your number?” Sweet young thing: “Have s cigarette?” Elderly lady: “What! Smoke a cigarette? Why, I’d rather^ kiss the first man that comes along.” Sweet young thing: “So woulc I, but have a cigarette- while you’re waiting. A very small boy came home dejectedly from his first day a1 school. “Ain’t goin’ tomorra,’’ he said “And why not?’’ asked his mother. “Well, I can’t read, I can’" write. They won’t let me talk So what’s the use?”
