THE WRECKERS I watched them tearing a building down, A gang of men in a busy town; With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell They swung a beam, and the side wall fell. I asked the foreman,"Are these men skilled The men you would hire if you had to build? He gave a laugh and said "No, indeed’. Just common labor is all I need. I can easily wreck in a day or two, What builders have taken a year to do." I thought to myself as I went my way, Which of these roles have I tried to play? Am I a builder who works with care, Measuring life by the rule and square ? Am I shaping my deeds to a well made plan, Patiently doing the best I can ? Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town Content with the labor of tearing down. Author unknown. NEW RAYON SOCKS at 79tf EXTENDO New stretohies.

And a fellow has to hustle if he wants to keep his post An the job’s a little harder than before. It’s the soft times that are going that we’re sighing for to-day, For the easy money contracts now have up ? and blown away. To land a job was simple in the war times that have passed And the profits flowed like water everywhere. It’s the soft times that are going that we sorrowfully miss. Old prosperity has spoiled us,it has pamp­ered us too long, We have made and spent at every bend & turn: WANTED — Farm work for young Dutch couple Have been in Canada for one year.
