The Wingham Advance-Times, 1939-04-27, Page 9TThursday, April 27th, 1939 In a Parisian shop, midst jostling throngs Is not just the place where a Canadian belongs, Yet in the classiest dress-shop called the “Purple Starling” There, modelling evening gowns, is Margaret Darling. DtwsESYoimmi • You can’t shine at work or play if you’re troubled with constipation. And common constipation is not a necessary evil, Too little hulk in your diet often causes it. Foods like meat, bread and potatoes do not form the “bulky” mass the bowels - .need for, regular movements. They become lazy. Eat Kellogg’s ALL­ BRAN, a crisp, delightful cereal. It helps to supply the “bulk” you ■need. And it is especially rich in Nature’s intestinal tonic, Vitamin Bi. Try this sensible routine: Eat ALL-BRAN every day. And drink ’ •plenty of water. Discover how fine it feels to be “regular” again. ALL-BUM HINDUS YdWftfMY And sister Isobel there too, takes her stand, And betwixt the two have business' quite in hand.

So What docs that bill there advertise, to the right? f I never could translate French just at sight; It's something about Jim Hamilton and Hitler, see^ It seems as though those “big shots” just never can agree, But, oh, to be in England, now that April’s here, There we might witness a fistic battle with people from far and' near, Elgin Londy and Geo. Thomson meet in a heavyweight bout, Loney says it’s a pushover for Thom­ son has a glass snout. Made by Kellogg In London, Canada, At your grocers. Gordie thinks it won’t be so easy and says, half in fun, That it’d behoove Loney better to learn how to run. To watch these demons battle seems to us to be a sin For we can’t ^atch the combat, but may the best man win. There too, in Merry Old England, is our pretty Hilda Brown Looking lovelier than ever in her brand new wedding gown, We say, a brand new one, because of weddings she’s had her share, But maybe this’ll be the last one for the groom’s a millionaire. PROPHET’S ADDRESS By Ralph Baird The following (“Prophet’s Address” was read at the Easter Literary of Wingham High School. * * * Some people like to ride o’er the foaming tide While some prefer to buffet the roll­ ing billow, Rut give to me a pleasant dream . With my lazy head on a feather pillow. This wedding is going to be a big one, we might-say a double job, For the minister will also be hitching Irlma Harrison and Bob, And they’ll reside in Monte Carlo, that charming city of fun, Bob will carry on his business, but his worries have just begun. In Then may I travel to my heart’s content With’ no trouble, luggage or ' great expense, High over .the’valleys, rivefs and trees As Jree as a feather on a summery breeze.

And now Smitty Robertson’s a sales­ man, you know, Selling fish-oil to the Zulus to make their hair grow; / It’s excellent -for baking and salads too, he says, So Smitty sure has changed since his W.H.S. days. In Borneo, totally unaware of the dust and heat, Gomes a tall- round-shouldered fellow with very big feet, “Why it’s Suitcase Simpson," we’re forced to exclaim,- “No,” he quickly corrects “Wellwood is the name.” He still loves his music ahd delights to tease The leader into giving him a solo to be mastered with ease, When he swings those trap sticks he really has class, And in the National Anthem comes a yell: “Swing it, Chas.” Do you remember a girl we all loved dearly, Who never grouched but was always cheery? She went with a bank clerk', tall, slim ‘ and dark, '. When when with him was happier than any lark?’" Well, another chap started cooing and. coaxed her him to wed But our Dodie wouldn’t hear tell of that and so she said: “I want to warn you, laddie, tho' I think you’re perfectly swell, That my heart -belongs to Murray because he treats me so well.” In Reno, Colorado, on the shady side of a hill, x Forlorn, dejected and alone sits **a changed Mr. Madill. He murmurs something about injus­ tice, calls it a tferrible mess, We dare not question further, we only shudder and guess, But let’s go to romantic Hawaii and see who’s there In a new full grass skirt and freshly dyed hair But Richard Roberts, pardon us if "we laugh But don’t you think that really is- a bit daft, However, he is happy that’s very easy to see For he’s still singing and whistling right merrily, c , On his face is written perfect content-' ment and absolute calm, Since the minister said: “Do you take , this — Lamb?” At circuses we expect to see things very strange and queer But .not half so bewildering as sight before us here, For at this down town midway, playing strength and might By tossing 100 pound balls around, is Gargantuan Lucille White. For the mathematician of Form Four what has fate predestined, The one that came from Belgrave that we called Einstein, *’ We’ve -looked for him everywhere, searched high and low, Into every, nook and cranny where a chap like he might g.o. “I love you truly”has been his most recent hit and although we laugh profusely he doesn’t care a whit' However, we’ll not overdo a good thjng, but just shake his hand And wander here and- there on some other foreign strand, Hollywood where everyone yells killer-diller, The man of the hour is our curly- headed Bing Miller, There too, creating not such romantic scenes Is Arlene and "Cookie” our charming chorines. Muir McLaughlin’s swing band pleas­ es the stars as they dine, While Norma Weatherell yodels and sings “Sweet Adeline.” And this really does sound like a yarn from a sailor But Miss Doris Traill is stepping out with Robert Taylor. In gang-land Hen. Posliff has made quite a name, And as a racketeer has won world­ wide fame, Bootlegging perfumes for those pretty Bluevale girls And domestic shortening for softening their curls. ’Way out t’other side of Zetland on ,a farm making hay In a straw hat and patched overalls is blushing Jean McKay, You know the one I mean, the one of commencement fame When as a Mrs. “Thing-in-a-Bob” she made herself a name., Right now to us, she seems, well, just rather out of place But she doesn’t seem to think so for no wrinkles line her face. So she milks her cows, and does lots of others kinds of work Remaining the same in that respect, being never known to shirk. But she’s not the only one who likes the open countryside, For on the second line of Morris Mr. and Mrs. Stuckey reside, In a modernistic farm-house just built for nine' or ten They appear to be contented and prospering, I ken. You have not inclined an attentive ear, Don’t blame the school nor anything like that Just say: “’Tis folly by Rudy .de Ratte.” A new fishing leader, which will not fray, split or become brittle, is invis­ ible in water and. possesses elastic qualities permitting a uniform “give” of about one inch per foot and resum­ ing normal length with, much the same­ action as a rubber band, has just been! made available to the Canadian ang­ ling world. The new leaders can be tied dry and without moistening of any kind will straighten out perfectly with a slight pull. The strength of the new leader material is equal to that of the best natural gut and possesses excep­ tional wearing qualities because the material contains no fibres and every strand is chemically controlled. The leader sinks as readily as natural gut —an important feature for the dry fly fisherman — and, having considerably less sheen, is less visible when in use. The leader material itself absorbs a very minute percentage of water and its resiliency remains regardless of how long it may be in use in alkaline and other destrive waters. And now home again, where Omar’s used to be * ' • A new red sign swings where Omar’s ought to be, And inside, seeing is believing, just as according to Hoyle, Smoking a cigar and racking up balls is Ichabod Boyle. ■ He makes plenty of money and lives at his ease, Smoking his cigar, letting the ashes fall as they please, Evades all gasoline taxes by burning olive oil And so “puts on the dog” when . he takes but his “goih” Hoiiv many will ybu spot me; is his very first plea, «®> We offer him two but he's a holdout for -three, And that isn’t justice or at least so it seems, • So let’s rouse ourselves from' this reverie of dreams. Stalin in Russia needs smart men, so perhaps he’s. there, And if we go and take a look, we may find this man of care. He was very good in geometry, but in trig, he did excel So if perchance we see him, we trust to find him well. Down in South America, riding bare- back on a mule, Rhoda Robertson and Dorothy Golley ' conduct a riding school, Their pupils consist of natives and treacherous men' of stealth, With the occasional foreign gentry . and Spanish men of wealth. And this pretty young damsel, you all know who, Stands up there besides him as “Wal­ ker the Woo” She is spmewhat fatter but still is not huge, And her eyes shine love over shadow and rouge.
