Says JOE CSIKÓS -The Humorous Vein HIS REGRET Pa: It’s a terrible thing. I sold my car and mortgaged my house and land, all to send my sou to the University. And all he does there is smoke, drink, and take girls out to parties. Pal: Oh, so you’re regretting it? Pa: Certainly. I should have gone myself. Many a romance begun beside a splashing waterfall at a summer resort has ended beside a leaky water faucet in a kitchen sink. TIMES CHANGE “The game of politics isn’t what it used to be,” - remarked Senator Sorghum. “Why, doesn’t the crowd listen to you?” “Yes. They used to be satisfied to shake hands and listen to a brass band. Now, they pay so much attention to my remarks that I have to be careful what I say.” “Do you know your wife is telling around that you can’t keep her in clothes?” “That’s nothing. I bought her a home and I can’t keep her in that either.” LACKS SELF-CONFIDENCE An American applied at a Canadian recruiting office to enlist. T suppose you want a commission,” said the officer. “No, thanks,” was the reply, “I’m such a poor shot I’d rather work on straight salary.” NO GREAT SACRIFICE The haughty senior girl sniffed disdainfully as the tiny freshman cut in. “And just why did you have to cut in when I was dancing?” she inquired nastily. The freshman hung his head in shame. “I’m sorry ma’am,” he said, “but I’m working my way through college, and your partner was waving a five dollar bill at me.” “Old-fashioned girls liked spinning wheels. So do modern girls—four of them.” QUICKLY EXPLAINED In speaking of the song, “The Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lemond,” a country teacher asked his pupils for an explanation of the line, “Yu’ll tak’ the high road and I’ll tak’ the low road.” “One was going by air and the other by bus,” answered a boy. “I beg your pardon, ma’am,” said the newly arrived Irish maid to the officer’s wife, “but is it colonel or major I should be calling the Captain?” HIS GIFT Wifee: “Why, Bob, I don’t believe you have smoked a single one of those lovely cigars I gave you for Christmas.” Bob: “No, dear, I intend to keep them until Junior grows up and wants to learn to -noke." GREMLIN GOSSIP Ho Hum! I feel sleepy, yet I don’t want to be sleepy. Wonder what’s causing it? Well, I have an idea in mind. What do you think it is? Why, Gremlins. I’ll have to write something about those Gremlins. Perhaps, a dictionary. A—Abbia: This “gremlin*’ is a funny kind. A hole in the abdomen and a round head with no eyes. The hole is to make a noise to frighten pilots. If you don’t know what a gremlin is, I’ll tell you. A gremlin is a gnome and is supposed to make pilots go crazy. Enought of gremlin gossip. —v— QUOTE Cop: Did you know that lots of girls are wearing wooden shoes these days? Girl: If they’re dancing with the army, I can see why.

When fires occur, fire prevention authorities seek out the causes and endeavor to make them generally known in order that plant managements, in fact all property owners and citizens, can be encouraged to correct similar hazards. Periodically the National Board of Fire Underwriters publishes bulletins with much useful information gained from actual fire experiences. Typical of these is one dealing with the industrial fire hazards of dry rooms, drying ovens, dip tanks, kilns, overloaded electric motors, and overheated bearings. For example, in commenting on a fire caused by a faulty drying oven, the bulletin states: “Infra-red light bulbs were used to dry refrigerator parts dipped in a tuluol-thinned metal sealer. Falling of conveyor basket broke bulbs, which caused ignition of vapor and spread of fire through residue on conveyor carriers. Lessons learned were: A wire guard should be provided to prevent parts from falling and breaking the infra-red lamps. A longer pre-dry BROOKLYN By Slug McGorky Haven’t much to say today, but the latest laugh of the day is Hitler’s face. (It’s a lot of piffle). (My column).

JOE CSIKÓS, age 13, Br. 91, Akron 7, Ohio. period is necessary to prevent excessive fumes and drippage from entering the oven, and mechanical ventilation should be provided for the oven canopy to assure fume removal. Conveyor carriers should be cleaned at regular intervals to prevent accumulations of residue.” No agency is working harder to prevent fire than the fire insurance industry. It provides far more than financial protection in case of fire loss. Part of insurance premium money goes to protect life and property against fire before it starts —fire prevention. The insured may not “see” fire prevention efforts of the fire insurance companies, but they are in his place of work 'and in his home in the form of approved electrical fixtures, safe wiring, fire-resistant construction, and in countless other places. Fire prevention is the main business of the insurance industry, next to the actual indemnity for fire loss. Without this “invisible ally”, we could not produce record quantities of war materials.
