Page 12 December 12, 1940 Verhovayak Lapja —THE........... HUMOROUS =VEIN= More Difficult “What’s harder than buy­ing a present for a girl who has everything?” “Buying one for a girl who wants everything.” * * * Exciting Householder (to prospec­tive maid): “Why did you leave your last place?” Maid: “Oh, it was so dull. They were trying to live on their income.” * * * Down and Out Haughty Housewife: •— “Aren’t you the same man I gave a piece of mince pie to last month?” Tramp (bitterly): “No mum, I’m not, and wot’s more, the doctor soys I never will be.” * * * Probably So Aunt Kate: “When I was younger I could have mar­ried anybody I pleased.” Little Bobby: “Didn’t you please anybody, Aunt Kate?” * * * Not Lately It was during the im­paneling of a jury that the following colloquy occurred: “You are a property hold­er?” “Yes, your honor.” “Married or single?” “I have been married for five years, your honor.” “Have you formed or ex­pressed an opinion?” “Not in five years, your honor.” * * * A Predicament “Boy, I’m scared! I just got a letter from a man telling me he’d shoot me if I didn’t stay away from his daughter.” “Well, all you have to do is stay away from his daugh­ter.” “Yeah, but he didn’t sign his name.” * * * Telling Her Wife—John, you do hot speak to me as affection­ately as you once did; I fear you have ceased to love me. John—Ceased to love you? Now there you go again. I love you more than life it­self. Now you shut up and let me read my paper. * * * What Did He Mean? Miss Petzing—Oh, aren’t these stockings lovely! I want a pair of them to wear to the ball tonight. Absent-minded Clerk — Will that be all? * * * Fond of Animals Dinocan—Do you wanna pet? Marion—Oh, I’d love one. I’m so fond of animals. * * * No Delay A doctor had an urgent phone call from a gentleman saying his small son had swallowed his fountain pen. “All right! I’ll come at once,” replied the doctor. “What are you doing in the meantime?” Came the answer: “Using a pencil.” * * * Minor Point His wife: “So your client was acquitted of murder. On what ground?” Lawyer: “Insanity. We proved that his father had spent five years in an asylum.” His wife: “But he didn’t, did he?” Lawyer: “Yes. He was a doctor there but we had no time to bring that fact out.” * * * Good Advice Two men left a banquet together; they had dined exceptionally well. “When you get home,” said one, “if you don’t want to disturb your family, un­dress at the foot of the stairs, fold your clothes neatly and creep up to your room.” The next day they met at lunch. “How did you get on?” asked the adviser. “Rotten!” replied the other. “I took off all my clothes at the foot of the stairs, as you told me, and folded them up neatly. I didn’t make a sound. But when I reached the top of,, the stairs—it was the ‘L’ station.” Calendar of Verhovay Socials DECEMBER 15th, SUNDAY. — Aliance, Ohio. — Benefit Dance to be held by the Alliance Ver hovay Athletic Club for its bowling and basketball teams, at the Verhovay Hall, to the music of Frank Corbi.

The total face value of his policies is not the decisive arbiter of protection. The whole trend of life insur­ance in recent years has been to devise more and more forms of policies to meet as many individual needs as is humanly pos­sible. The policy that per­fectly fits the circumstances, the plans and the ambitions of the man next door, might be entirely wrong for you. One needs expert advice when it comes to deciding the type of life insurance to buy today. Such advice from an unprejudiced source is indispensable to a sound life insurance program in which an insured may not later be greatly disappointed.--------------------O-------------------­DON’T BUY LIFE INSURANCE! It may not be necessary for you to buy life insur­ance. You may be one of those few lucky ones who, at re­tirement age, have a tidy fortune invested in grade A securities sufficient to pro­vide you with an adequate income for the rest of your life. Or, if you die in the meantime, you may have accumulated enough by then to make certain that your dependents will never know want. That may happen—if you are the one man in a thousand who is successful in making and keeping money. If, however, you are the average man, you will never attain that rarefied degree of economic inde­pendence unless you follow some fixed savings plan such as life insurance offers. The moral to all this is: Don’t buy life insurance, if you’re willing to take a long shot bet on your own and your family’s future.--------------------O-------------------­ONE KILOWATT-HOUR We’ve all heard of kilo­watt-hours—which are a measurement for a certain amount of .electricity. But few realize just how much energy one kilowatt-hour represents. In a recent laboratory test, a strong young ex­pugilist was put to work driving a hand generator until exhaustion forced him to stop. He produced just a little over one per cent of one kilowatt-hour. More than two hundred men took turns operating a bicycle­­driven generator—and their combined efforts, kept up until they were too weary to go on, produced just ten cents worth of electricity! . .-
