JAMES [. ]|Att C(|. ACTS
fhe Boss - His Doy Ofi
lle was the boss; was the first to come
When the day began-and he made things hum.
He would hustle 'round with impatient jerks
And, instill some life in the lazv clerks.
It was fine how he'd scold and scoff
At the thought that he ought to take a day off.
Why, he'd do,ubt the clock rvhen it cl-rimed at noon,
And he'd swear that the hour had come too soon.
Go o,ut to eat? Waste that time at lunch?
Not he ! He would sit at his desk and munch
And sputter the crumbs when he took a bite
And told the stenographer what to write.
Year in, year out, he was on the go.
He said: "Too busy to rest, you know."
And the dollars grew to a wondrous pile,
But still he rvould wear that sarcastic smile
When someone suggested a time for play,
Or told o{ the need of a l-roliday.
It u'as yesterday when we met him lastWe were on the street, he was riding past. And we stopped and looked as we turned to go For the wonder was that his oace was slow. But the rig was new, and the horses trimIt was his day off, for they buried him.
No Sole
The busy business man was being importuned by the drop-in salesman to purchase a fountain pen.
"Tell me one good reason why I should use a fourrtain pen, and you've made a sale," said the prospect.
"Well," said the salesman, "you do all your rvriting with a pen, and all day long you are dipping that pen in.to the ink. Have you considered how much time you could save every day if you used a fountain pen and didn't have to do that constant dipping?"
"Young man," said the busy business man. "llave you stopped to consider that the only rest I get all day long is when I'm dipping that pen in the ink Bottle? Do you want to work me to death ?"
He Wos Sure Of lt
No one can explain the thoughts of the drunkard.
A party of sight-seers o'ccupied a table in one of the plentiful new beer gardens late one night. At the next table, by himself, a youllg man drunk and asleep sat leaning forward on his table with his head pillowed on his arms. After a time one of the party felt a touch on his elbow, and looked around to discover that the drunk had awakened and was nudging him for attention. He had never seen the drunk before.
"Shay," said the drunk, "do you know Gina Lollobrigida?"
"I do not," replied the other.
A smile of intense self-satisfaction came over the face of the drunk.
"Ha ! I thought not !" he said, dropping forward asleep agaln.

A Messoge For All Hoo-Hoo
Augusl l,1952
One of the most insistent things in life is that you are ultimately judged by what you actually accomplish.
The busy world of workers gives scant attention to assertion, explanation, protest, apology or complaint. What counts most is not promise, but performance.
Good work speaks for itself, therefore achieve something first, and talk about it afterward if you must. Time spent in promises, regrets and professions is usually unavailing.
The way to do things is not to dream about them nor rvish for them, but to do them. The distinguished men in all times have been prodigious workers, earnestly intent upon securing actual results.
The present age is intensely practical, and more than ever the race is to the alert, the energetic and the industrious.
Sinccrely ond frotcrnolly, HARVEY W. KO[, #46015 Hoo-Hoo Snork of the Univercc
