Hello folks. That girl is here
again with a little news picked up
here and there over the week-end.
So we’ll get started on it right
away before we get off on some
subject that will take up half a
column a s we usually do. We're
sure our Sundav School teacher
must have been talking directly to
us last Sunday when in the midst
©f the lesson he said, “Some peo
pie can just talk on and on and
never say anything.” That’s us al
right but for those of you who
like it, roll up your sleeves, and
let’s go to press! FLASH. (Don’t
get us wrong, were no Walter
WincheLl w ;th a Warmonger De
partment). but Scoop Statham is
' at present burly engaged in
com
posing a speech he is going to
deliver to the Senate just as soon
as the seniors get to Washington
But he didn't say what the theme
is. By the way you were playing

This Roof Locked Aqainst qaU.
Wind and Weather
If your roof ha* been giving you trouble or is beginning to look
shabby, have it covered with Careylok shingles. These shingles are
especially designed to save money on labor and materials gad at the
•ame time give you a good-looking, weather-tight roof.
It’s easy to re-roof with Careyloks. Just lay them right over your
•Id roof— a copper anchor holds them down snugly — shutting out
the wind, rain and snow. The double roof makes your home warmer
in winter and cooler in summer.
Remember, Careylok shingles are made by a Company with more
than sixty years’experience in manufacturing good roofing material.
Come in and see these attractive Careylok shingles and let u*
tell you how much you can save by using them to re-roof your home.
