THE VILLAGE CAR -SMITH
Under the spreading chesnut tree
The village smithy stands
Behind a row of petrol pumps,
With all the well "known brands
Where greasy men with oily grins
Take money with both hands.
Week in, week out, from morn till
night
Your empty tank they fill,
They'll
atir
Y1 change
e or turn a nut
With plenty of goodwill.
But all the same you'll later find
It's all down on the bill.
They'll shake their, heads and sadly
, say
You need your valves re -ground,
They'll say rude things about your
plugs
In manner most profound,
In fact, your engine, brakes and gears
Are anything but sound.
•
The boss comes out and hangs about,
And beams upon his boys,
He hears them tell you all these
yarns,
It makes his heart rejoice.
They'd say the same of any car,

From flivver to Benz -Royce.'
He wants to overhaul your car,
And let you pay the price.
And makes sorne other things go
wrong
To overhaul it twice.
He really wants a steady job,
That would be paradise.
Oiling, decoking, adjusting
Onward through life he goes,
Each
morning sees some job begun,
But never sees it close.
Something commenced and deft half
done,
Has earned 'a night's 'repose.

dowments, , the amount of approxi-
mately $90,000, estimated to be nec-
essary to carry on the work for the
next three years, "has been almost
pledged.

ments, totalling' some 764,000 by the
