SMITH: "My wife's been very ill and the doctor told me I should take her to the seashore, but I didn't have the money to do that,"
Blake: "What are you going to do about it?"
Smith: "Oh, I've found a way to bring the sea breeze to her."
Blake: "How?"
Smith: "I fan her with a herring."

THEY WERE strolling through the country lane when he waxed poetic.
"Ah, look at the cow and the calf rubbing noses in the pasture. That sight makes me want to do the same," he said softly.
"Well, go ahead," she answered, "it's your cow."

THE TEARS HAD stopped and he rolled over towards me. "I never had an education," he said. "My old man was a first war veteran and died when I was a kid. My ma married again. I thought the army would give me an education instead. I didn't join it to fight at all—I joined to get educated." — Wounded GI in Korea, Toronto Daily Star, July 13.

"Sure have," agreed Zeke's wife. "Before when he went visitin' on Sundays he carried his jug o' corn whisckey on his shoulders.
"Now, he hides it under his coat."

A FISHERMAN approached Henry. "We're having a raffle for a poor widow," he said. "Will you buy a ticket?"
"Nope," Henry replied, "my wife wouldn't let me keep it if I won."

NEWS: "I went to see a doctor about the boils which chose my rear portion as their battleground. In answer to his "Next question," I explained my complaint and received a prescription for "nose drops"—all without a glance in my direction. His loud "Next, please," drowned my protest. I received my nose drops from the chemist and actuated by the proverb "Waste not," I tried them. The boils disappeared—S. E. BAMFORD, Ches-erfield.

THE ENERGETIC travelling travelling salesman, eager to see a big business executive, finally bludgeoned his way past the various secretaries at the end of a rush day in the office.
"Salesman, eh?" snorted the big man. "Do you know my secretaries have thrown out thirteen salesmen already today?"
"Yes, sir," said the salesman. "I'm them."
BLOCK THAT KICK
Gov't Fails to Provide Indian 'Magna Carta'
Failure of the federal government to give the Native Indians of Canada their promised "Magna Carta" was criticized by president William Scow of the Native Brotherhood of B.C. in a statement presented to the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, W. Harris, at a meetinj>f in Vancouver last month.
"In Fact" On Korea
The weekly American news letter. In Fact, "an antidote to falsehood in the daily press," has these few words to say about Korea:
"At the end of the First World Wor, Lord Ponsonby wrote 'Falsehood in Wartime', which had as its theme: 'When war is declared, truth is the first casualty.' He shewed that not only much of the news of the conflict but most of the reasons for starting the war were falsified by both sides.
"We have no information about the present Korean war outside of

Boss Biased, Waitress Quits
WINDSOR, Ont. (CLR): A story about this city goes like this: I was a waitress in a small downtown restaurant. I had worked there for several months. Two of our best customers were Negroes. I liked these people. I didn't just tolerate them.
Then the (manager called me aside one night, and told me to "make them wait. Give them the worst possible service," he said. I quit.
When I get another job my references won't include one from that restaurant, and I will tell my new ernployer why.
what we read in the newspapers.
"It is apparent from the few items carried on inside pages that the Southern Koreans did not care to fight for their country. Almost everywhere, from the first day on, and even later when the American troops supported them, they ran away, fighting with the women and children for places on trains and in trucks going away from the front.
"The war, supposedly between North Korea backed by Soviet Russia, and South Korea backed by the United Nations, has within a week become a war between North Korea and the United States. The South Koreans gave up at once, although they had the arms and men equal to the invaders.
"This is in great contrast to a similar war — Republican Spain, backed by volunteers from 30 countries, and fascist Franco Spain, backed by 200,000 infantry from Italy, Germany and Portugal. The Republic, short of guns and munitions, with few airplanes, with little but the spirit of their men and women, held out for three years against the tanks, the Goering air-fleet, and ten thousand times as many shells and bullets as it had. No democracy sent troops to save democratic Spain.
"These, so far—seem to be the facts between the lines."

Scow, accompanied by several chiefs and executive members of the Brotherhood, thanked the minister for delaying passage of Bil! 267 amending the Indian Act. He stated that at the time the Brotherhood presented its brief to the Parliamentary Committee set up to study the Act, "We were given the assurance out of all the presentations throughout Canada that a new day was being made for the people."
Continuing, Chief Scow pointed out that, "It took the Committee upwards of four years of careful study, BUT TODAY they have failed to give us a Magna Carta ^Brit-ish Columbia). Therefore, Mr. Harris, it is now up to us to do what we can for the people.
"The problems of the British Columbia Indians are different from those of the Indians of other Provinces. I know many people do not know what the Natives are doing. What is the Government doing for them? They should be proud of them," Chief Scow declared.
"This Bill 267 does not encourage them in their line of endeavours. They are not considered wards nor are they looked upon as ignorant by the fishing industries—the Fishing Industries accept them as equals and they are placed in responsible positions by such companies as B.C. Packers, Canadian Fishing Company, Nelson   Brothers    Fishing Company
Anglo-B.C. Packers, J. H Todd and many others. Our people are entrusted with equipment worth many thousands of dollars.
"I am pointing this out to you, Mr. Harris, to try and show you the struggle that Native People of the Province of British Columbia are having. We appreciate the recognition given us by the Fishing and Logging Industries of the Province and, sir, for your honest consideration, LET US DO AWAY WITH THE INDIAN ACT for people of this Province.
"Speaking of the B.C. Provincial Government, they have indicated to the Federal Government what they thought of the Indians of the Province when they granted the franchise to  our people.
"We accepted with a hope that the Federal Government would also make the final miracle by giving us the Federal Vote and making us first class citizens of this land of ours.
"I am afraid we do not want to be Second Class Citizens, we feel it is contrary to the Declaration of Human Rights which reads:
" 'WHEREAS recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of FREEDOM, JUSTICE and PEACE in the world.'
"Sir, let us work towards obtaining the fulfillment of these rights," President Scow's statement concluded.

Are Such a Bore
Shi[tworms, or "teredos" have a great liking for wood. They chew up a fortune in ships' planking every year. Although you may never see them, teredos are lurking in coastal waters, waiting to make a meal
of your boat.
Bapco has been fighting teredos for 35 years.   Through continual experimenting, Bapco developed Bapco Copper Paint to give complete protection from teredos, and prevent barnacles and marine growth from clinging to your ship's bottom. USE BAPCO MARINE PAINTS SECOND TO NONE
