Ray Carter, a section man at Cas tle, near Boardman, fell between two m 'k r 'rom where I sit . . . jby Joe Marsh Every Friday night a bunch of us fellows get together over at Bill Webster's place. We wouldn't miss those weekly get-togethers for any thing. There are seven in the group Bill Webster, Judge Cunningham, Pete Swanson, Old Doc McGinnis the dentist, and young Doc Mitch ell the M.D., the government man Bob Newcomb, and myself. We don't play cards. We don't sing or carry on. We just sit quietly and talk and drink a glass or two of beer. I guess we discuss just about everything under the sun politics, business, family affairs, music, farming, hunting, fishing, and what not. But mostly we like to chew the fat about life's experience and a man's philosophy in these times. To sort of help out the conversa tion, we've found mellpw beer par ticularly relaxing. Every one of us likes the tangy taste of beer... and now and then Judge Cunning ham insists on ale for everybody. You mightn't think that just settin and talkin' would be so much fun. But it is. Particularly when a man begins to get around to the age of reason. Like us. And it's wonderful how a few glasses of good beer help bring out good talk and good sense when men get together. There's some thing peaceful and friendly and human about beer that brings out the best in a man. They call beer the "beverage of moderation." That "moderation" idea is good philosophy . . . maybe that's why good beer and good fellowship go together so well. Seems to me there ought to be more of this quiet talk over a glass of beer. It sure straightens out a man in his thinking. Anyhow, men ought to get to gether and be friends. That's the way we were made. Why not try it more of ten all of you?
