GONE WITH THE WIND
While Tom Jones and the Record
reporter were looking over the
Railroad barge a gust of wind
seized Jones’ hat and whipped it
into the bay. The Record reporter,
with knit cap firmly anchored to
his ears, attempted to spear it and
suceeded in sprawling on the deck.
Jones didn't even look up, ap
parently thinking as much of a
hat as the reporter thinks of a
burnt match.

DOYLE'S HARDWARE
CITY TO REPAIR ROOF
AT SEWARD HOSPITAL
At Monday night’s regular meet
ing the City Council voted to re
pair the roof of the Seward General
Hospital building, with action to
be taken within the next 90 days.
The lease, under which the hos
pital operates for a nominal fee of
$5.00 per year, requires specific
items of maintenance to be per
formed by the hospital. Mr. W. C.
Erwin of the hospital board con
tended that all maintenance work
not specified in the lease, is, by
inference a responsibility of the
city.
Councilmen voted to repair the
roof since it was felt that the
property of the taxpayers should
be maintained, at least until the
lease expires in the year 1952.
Salesman: “You make only a!
small down payment and pay no
more for six months.”
Customer: “Who told you about
us?”
Old Lady: “Here’s a penny, my
poor man. How did you become so
destitute?"
Beggar: "I was like you, mum—
always giving away vast sums to
the poor and needy.”
