Sawdust...
It may be presumed that ’at
least two people in town have
started the new year right from
the nature of their activities
starting this week. Bill Bond
has given up smoking and vows
that he will not partake of nico
tine via cigarettes during this
year. Several people have wag
ered that he will, so it remains
to be seen just how long Bill’s
“resolution” will hold good.
Those who think he'll break it
before the year is over and have
backed their opinion with cold
cash are Charles Allen, Vern
Sykes and Russell Whitsell . . .
And then there’s the case of
Aaron Wagner who has been
helping his dad get started in
business at Oswego. He, Aaron,
may also continue working at
the mill this year while Ada Boe
will greet Pal Shop customers
during daytime hours . . .

Can I Get
What I Want?
Probably your most frequent thought Mrs.
Housewife when you start shopping for gro
ceries is: I hope I can get the items I have on
my shopping list!” Of course we have trouble
getting certain items at certain times, but we
believe that if you shop at King’s you will be
able to get almost everything you need.
We also feel sure that you will be pleased
and satisfied for that is our aim towards our
customers.

GIVES ADVICE
A member of the Dutch und

England is broadcasting a ser
ies of instructions and warnings
to his co-workers in the occupied
country. He warns against carry
ing papers—“the Gestapo can
not search your brain.” Appoint
ments with people you do not
know personally are dangerous,
he said. “Do not agree on any
sign of recognition but obtain
a thorough description of the
person in question. A flower in
the buttonhole . . . may be all
right in a stage play, but is no
good for underground
work.
Know a watchword, or better
still, a watch phrase.” He also
recommended that workers travel
alone, make no appointments in
cafes, always be punctual, and
where in a strange house, find
out the best wnjj to leave it in
a hurry.
