WSS Once upon a time there was a boy nam- ed LESTER who was walking down the road when a GARDNER working near by stopped him and asked, Don't you ever WORK-MAN? LESTER replied, No l'd rather FISH and HUNT, Besides what kind of work -could l get? At this the GARDNER said, Why you could he a MINER or a member of the city COUNCIL, and right now there's a big de- mand for PARSONS, or you could always be a DORMAN at the theater. Yes, but 1'd rather have fun, said LESTER and walked on. He walked up the HILL and into the WOOD and hunted FOX. Then he walked to the lake and fished for a fish with a big FENN. Suddenly he got caught in a MEIER and down and down he went until not even a SPECK of him remained. Moral: He should have listened to the GARDNER with the FULLHART and he wouldn't have caused the funeral hell to TOLLE. WSS This year's boys who attended Kiwanis luncheons didn't tell what they had to eat. They just came in late to class, grinned and hurpedl Some people didn't believe it was possible hut it was.
