The late opinion of the attorney gen

pluses are, free for spending is of no
avail to hard-pressed employes. They
are like shipwrecked sailors adrift at
sea:’"Water, water all, around; but not

and when prices istart down, ’as ulti

lowest brackets. It is to be hoped that
no depression 'o f such magnitude will
come.'In the meantime ¡the state should
start oiling Its machinery so that its
employes may receive adequate compen
sation at the earliest moment.

If you’re feeling that your labors ate
more hfksome than the neighbors '
And that „others are more favored by
the fickle gods ofvf&te;
If your heart’s not in your duties and
you can’t see this world’s,, beauties,
Then come and sit: beside ?me while
my story I relate.
My \ sister was. but seven when I wasj
sent,, from Heaven
I 4
On a ] chilly winter morning to bless
the family joint..
Whether I fulfilled that mission; (which
is just ah, old tradition) |
They never quite decided/ but. that’s
beside the point.* o
The sad part of my .story g started on
the morning, gqry,_
That the’ Japs attacked Pearl Harbor
ini the misty light of dawn.
