Back in the hills are the mines and the miners' shacks; and, where the railroad stops, there is one building--a combined general store and lunch room. A stranger, hiking through the Arizona hills, came to this restaurant- store, and decided to have some lunch. After the waitress had served him, she regarded him fa* vorably from the door, wondering how she could start a conversation, for it was a lonely place. At last she spoke, looking throiigh the door. "It looks like rain," she volunteered. He sniffed once at the steaming cup.. "Yes," he said, "it does; but it smells like coffee." DANGEROUS K. C. NOTES Tonight, Nov. 10th oar regular monthly msetln? will Be held. It*a the night we entertain the good Fathers--CLER.3Y NIGHT. We can certainly promise you a full and satisfying evening in their genial company. Make our attendance a must. Meeting will get under way promptly at 8:15. Many times we have been asked--" Who are the K. Cs.?" "What are they doing?" "What's the organization all about?" "We hear K. Cs. this and K. C.s that. Won't you tell us something about your order?" So in answer to the many requests we submit to you-- Av K. of C*s Creed 1 I will pay my dues promptly and thus relieve the council of financial worries. 2--1 will wear the - emblem of the order openly and proudly and thus let the world know on which side I am. 3--I will support every effort put forward to enhance the cause of the order, and of my council in particular, feeling that both depend upon me. 4--1 will strive to bring new members to my council, so that when the call comes for Catholic action, we shall not be found wanting. 5--1 will attend all meetings of my council except in duties, thus iteaklag my membership vital and important. I--I will sot let toy enthusiasm fade away or forget the pledges I have taken, because Catholic gentlemen are men who keep their word. 7-- In sickness and in death, I will show my charity by visiting and paying my respects to those brothers who are in distress or taken by death; thus I will let the word brother count for what it really means. 8 --I will cooperate with the officers of the council by lending them my support and a helping hand in all their trials and difficulties. 9--I will eAd^avor to prove to my fellow-meif^hat I am a better Catholic because I have been a good Knight of Columbus. 10--I will work towards reclaiming those who once were members of the order, because I firmly beliveve that they need us just as much as we need them. To this work I dedicate every ounce of power of example. 11--Lastly, I that, dse to the turbulent , conditions prevailing te the world today* we seed a strong Catholic I apostolat« to combat error*, heresy and persecutions. As a Knight of Columbus, I must see that an- | other Archbishop Steplnac or a Cardinal Mindssenty case does not take place in this country, or in any other country. ' « Temate, a Vegetable The tomato is legally a vegetable, botanically a fruit. In 1883, the U. S. supreme court rendered the. decision that it is a vegetable. But by botanical definition, the tomato, snap or green besns, pod of peas, garden pepper, and many, are fruits. .

In New England, wherfe Smiley comes from, friendships have been broken over tomatoes versus cream in clam chowder. Experts say that south of Boston tht tomato reigns supreme, but north of Boston' it's cream--or else! ^ From where I sit, whether ft should have cream or tomatoes i#> simply % matter of taste. This is plain to anyone who doestit tdlli from clam chowder country. What a great world this would be if we could all see that most prejudices are matters of taste ol^ly. Some like hot coffee.

Moot Ques The sales manager and the tising manager were arguing about which of their departments wss the most important to "Can you show me," the sales chief, "a single order that advertising ever put on the books? "I think I can," replied the advertising manager, "but first answer this question. Can you me a single load of hay that the sun ever put in a barn? A HURRY rri The orator was taking an unconscionably long time for his speech. He bellowed forth over his hearers' weary heads: "I am speaking for the benefit at posterity." A heckler promptly shouted: "Yes, and if you don't be quick about it, they'll be along to hoar you!" She Could Do That Among a young girl's many admirers was an extremely fat man. Even though he didn't have a chance he persisted in his attentions. One evening he proposed to the girl of his dreams as she sat on the living room sofa. He became so wrought up that he dropped to his knees and pleaded for a "yes" to his proposal of marriage. When she made, it crystal clear that she was among those who didn't love a fat man he sighed heavily and dropped his head sorrowfully. "Well, at least," he said, holding his hand out to her, "help tn# get up* again." Eyes Have It Carrots must be good for the eyes.
