How the Jew Got LiIe Insurcrnce

The Jewish merchant wanted to borrow twenty thousand dollars and was told by the bank that they would make the loan if he would take out twenty thousand dollars' worth of life insurance to cover it. He went out to talk it over with the life insurance people, and came back very much downcast.

"I couldn't get it," he said in misery. "The insurance docteh he turned me down."

Mcrk Twcrin On Satcrn

'

The banker wanted to know why. Said the merchant: 'iHe esked me questions, unt den he turned me down." The banker wanted to know what the questions were? The rherchant said:

"He esked me 'is you fadder liffing?'-I said 'no, he's dead'-he said 'at what age did he died?':I said 'twentynine'-unt den he said-'what killed him?'-I said 'consumption'; he said 'is your mudder liffing?'-I said 'no, she's dead'-he said'at what age did she died?'-I said 'twentysix':he said 'what killed her?'-I said 'consumption'-Qi, Oi, he turned me down ! I can't get it !"

The banker said: "Of course you couldn't get it with those answers. I suggest you try some other insurance man, and think of some better answers than those."

So the merchant left, and in an hour he was back, dancing for joy. "f got it ! I got it !" he shouted.

The banker said: "Good. What did you, say this time?"

He said: "He esked me 'is you fadder liffing?'-I said 'no, he's dead'-he said 'at what age did he died?'-I said 'ninety-two'-he said 'what killed him?'-I said 'he fell off a polo pony'-he said 'is your mudder liffing?'-I said 'no, she's dead'-he said 'at what age did she died?'-I said 'eighty-eight'-he said 'what killed her?'-I said 'she gave birth to twin babies'-s4f he gif me de insurance right away."

The Start's the Thing

I have no special regard for Satan, but I can at least claim that t have no prejudice against him. It may even be that I have'been a little in his favor, on account of his not having a fair show. All religions issue Bibles against him, but we ne?er hear his side. We have none but the evidence from the prosecution, and yet we have rendered the verdict. To my mind this is irregular. ft is un-English, it is un-American. Of course, Satan has some kind of a case, it goes without saying. It may be a poor one, but that is nothing; that can be said about any of us. As soon as I can get at the facts I will undertake his rehabilitation myself, if I can find an impolite publisher. It is a thing which we ought to do for anybody who is under a cloud.

We may not pay him reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talents. A person who has for untold centuries maintained the imposing position of spiritual head of four-fifths of the human race, and political head of the whole of it, must be granted the possession of executive abilities of the loftiest order. In his large presence the other popes and politicians shrink to midgets for the microscope. I would like to see. him. I would rather see him and shake him by'the tail than any other member of the European Concert.

Birds and Bees

Hildegard, radio Mistress of Ceremonies, pulled one recently that was a great hit. She said that the birds and the bees are now telling their little ones about people. In fact, she said, Mrs. Bee is now expecting a little bumble from heaven.

Humanist

William : "The humanist is one whg holds himself ve truth, unprejudiced as to its source, and, hav truth, realizes his obligation to gfue it out again, made richer by his personal interpretltlon."

Mechanical ,engineers tell us that it takes just six trmes for a time and let go of what you've got, remember the flywheel.

Scotchmen Fishing

Two Scotchmen went fishing. They made a deal that the first one to catch a fish should buy the drin\on the way home. One of them got a bite that nearly bfuke hi pole in half, but he wouldn't notice or pull it in. Th! oflfer had no such trouble. He never baited his hook.

Forest Service Anndunces Revised Fire-Season Closurcg

A substantial increase will be made in National Forest acres of Southern California to be open to the'public during the 1946 fire season, according to Regional Forester S. B. Show, chief of the California Region, U. S. Forest Serv' ice.

This decision resulted from on-the-ground examinations of each critical portion of the Angeles, Cleveland, Los Padres, and San Bernardino national forests and consideration of the postwar fire problem with county officials and representatives of sportsmen, water users, and other groups concerned with the protection from fire of these vital watersheds.

Main highways and roads passing through high-hazard areas in the national forests, together with main roads providing access to areas open to the public, wif be available for travel throughout the fire season. Signed and fireproofed camps and picnic grounds immediately adjacent to these highways and roads will also be open to the public.

Areas with recognized high fire danger and watershed valte but lacking d system of transportation adequate for effective fire control will be closed on July 1 and will remain closed until the end of the fire season, usually about December 1. Boundaries of these closed areas will be conspicuously signed.

One coastal area south of Carmel in Monterey County and embracing the Big Sur River and the Ventura Mountains will be open under an experimental permit system with registrars located at the main entrances to the area at Big Sur, Chervs Ridge, Arroyo Seco, and Carmel Guard Station.

Maps showing the location of open and closed areas are available at the following addresses: Forest Supervisor, Angele5 National Forest, 1443 Federal Bldg., I-os Angeles 12; Forest Supervisor, Cleveland National Forest, U. S. Customs and Court House, San Diego 1; Forest Supervisor,'Los Padres National Forest, Federal Bldg., Santa Barbara, and Forest Supervisor, San Bernardino National Forest, Post Office Bldg., San Bernardino.

Mill Ceilings of Ponderora PinG Cut Stock Lumber Raised

Washington, D. C.,.June 22.-Maximum mill ceilings of ponderosa pine cut stock lumber have been raised $7.50 per thousand board feet'to reflect incredses of $4.50 per thousand board feet plus an average hourly wage increase of 15 cents granted to producers of ponderosa pine cut stock, the Office of Price Administration announced today.

Today's increases, effective Jane 26,1946, pass through the amount of those on shop lumber from which cut stock lumber is made and provide for the normal ..wastage in cutting. Consumer prices of sash and door millwork items will not,be affected by today's pricing adjustment. This is true because millwork manufacturers have already received a price increase that reflects the $4.50 per thousand board feet increase and the wage increase.

Other changes made in today's revision of the ponderosa pine millwork lumber regulation include.the following:

(1) Cut stock lumber produc€rs located outside the western pine region may how price delivered sales at that basing point which gives the lowest rate to destination. This permits them to recover inbound transportation bosts on lumber shipped from the western pine regionl

(2) Prices, reflecting differentials established by the I.umber Code Authority, have been established for No. 2 cut stock.

(3) Larch, Douglas fir and white fir cut stock are now priced $3 per thousand board feet less than ponderosa pine cut stock.

(4) Maximum additions of g5 per first cut and of 91.50 per additional cut, per thousand board feet, have been provided for multiple resawing except for resawn face veneer. In addition, a $2.50 per thousand board feet charge is permitted for bundling for water shipment.

(Revised Order 3 under Revised Maximum Price Regulation 94-Approval of Maximum Prices for Ponderosa Pine Cut Stock-effective June 26, L946.)
