FISH STORY
It may be old, but it’s new to this
department. The story of two fish
ermen returning from a Florida trip.
Asked if he had had much luck, the
first fisherman told of landing a 600-
pound sailfish first time out. “What
did you get?” he asked.
“I hooked into something and
when I pulled up I had a big brass
lantern from an American ship sunk
back in the War of 1812 and it was
still burning!” he replied.
“Say,” said the first fisherman,
“I’m a reasonable fellow. If you’ll
blow out that light, I’ll take 550
pounds off that fish.”

Yehudi Menuhin, the famous vio
linist, has been given a Class I rat

will wonder why a great violinist is
taken when the country is so full
of bum fiddlers who ought to be shot.

Elmer Twitchell hopes there is no
lag in our fire hose program. “I
agree with Mr. Roosevelt that if a
neighbor’s house is on fire the thing
to do is to lend him your hose with
out quibbling. And if he asks for a
ladder, I am for handing him one
without all the crossbars missing.”

It took a dentist two hours to pull

On Hitler’s doorplate in his old
