A New Heaven

I seldom print any of the innumerable stories about the Roosevelts that come along, because most of them have barbs in them. But here'is one that is genuinely funny, and deserves telling.

The story goes that Churchill and Roosevelt died and went to Heaven together. Side by side they were marching through the pearly gates without even knocking, when St. Peter stopped them.

He said: "Wait a minute, you two. You guys can't come in here !"

They said: "Why not?"

With Mcnulcrcturers Lumber Co.

Wm. G. (Bill) Haydon, Jr., is now with Manufacturers Lumber Co. of Los Angeles, sales agents for the Commercial Lumber Co., Inc. He was formerly with the E. K. Wood Lumber Company at Los Angeles and he is well known in Southern California lumber circles.

He said: "Because you'd just start trouble. I've been watching your careers on earth, and I know you wouldn't be here a day until you'd start some sort of heavenly New Deal, and want to run heaven your own way' and I'm not going to have it. You can't come in."

Churchill said: "St. Peter, before you make that decision you'd better think it over pretty seriously. Because if you don't let us in this heaven we'll go start one of our own, and give you some hot competition. Won't we, Franklin?"

Roosevelt said: "We sure will, Winnie. You build it. I'll finance it."
