(Continued From Last Week)
A Toast To Our Hero, The President
"For the last time, 'shut-up', and
go to bed," bai-ked my shipmate.
Well, if I can't talk to you, I'll
just talk to president Rosevelt's
portrait—on the bukhead—he'll lis-
ten and understand me—he always
has understood us.
Yes, my champagne has been in
the glass so long that it i-eally was
lifeless,
Naziism and Fascism is a lot
like my champagne that was in the
glass; once their philosophies are
thoroughly sired out, then it all of
a sudden becomes stale, and life-
less.
As I was preparing to give a final
toast to the president's portrait on
the bulkhead, my shipmate immed-
iately noticed it, so he jumped out
of his bunk, tok my champagne and
dashed it away, and went to the
icebox and fetched the last and the
choicest bottle of champagne, as
he opened it, he said: "never drink
stale champagne while making a
toast to our peace loving hero, the
president. I agreed instantly. As
the music was playing more beau-
tifully than ever, my shipmate and
myself began to utter the following
words: upraised hands with glasses
of champagne touching the over-
heads, and facing the president's
portrait. The toast:—"To our be-
loved president of the United
States: Honourable Franklin De-
lano Roosevelt.
"We on the behalf of all workers
of all the democracies on thic planet
Mr. and Mrs. C. Luther and son,
Buddy, were in Austin over the

of Austin, who is a guest of Claire
Joy this week.

Sunday School 10 a m. Carlton

meeting on Wednesday.
At the stated meeting of the
Session last Monday night a resolu-
tion favoring the teaching of the
Bible according to the requirements
of the State Board of Education
was passed. It is the earnest hope
of the members of the Presbyterian
Church that this helpful course of
study will be offered to the student
of our public schools.
The Presbyterian church also is
glad to co-operate with other
churches in the erecting of an at-
tractive road sign near Camp
Hulen offering a cordial "Welcome
to our Churches", to the National
Guard and all travelers through our
city.
Mrs. A. E. Louderback, daugh-
ters, Mary Eleanor, and Geraldine,
and son, John, left Thursday morn-
ing for Carlsbad to be gone the
next two weeks. They will be ac
companied home by Mr. Louder
back, who we are pleased to learn
has made a very satisfactory re-
covery during the six months he
has been out there.
are now expressing our utmost
gratitude to you, for preventing
another world war No. 2; for help-
ing us to find our rightful places
in the sun; for your undying efforts
for the great cause of universal
democracy, so that justice, peace,
and tranquillity may reign supreme,
thoroughout the world for genera-
tions to come."
In return, we promise you that we
shall honour, coperate, respect, and
always speak well of you, no matter
what corners of the earth we may
find ourselves. Hoping that our
gratitudinal expressions will be
made known to you before "father
time," the merciful judge of the
third and fourth dimensional world
pronounces thee back to dust." Vive
la democracy.
We two shouted together after
the toast.
"Socratese, for the last time I
am telling you to "pipe-down" so
that I can go to sleep. If I make
any more toast with you, I'm liable
to get drunk—and that is some-
thing which I've never been found
guilty of before going on duty."
"I am very careful in that respect."
"And another thing, if I thought
that you applied one of your little
psychological tricks in having me
to get my last bottle of champagne,
I'd hand you one of my "Popeye"
special." Yes, if you did that I'd
retaliate with one of my "ju-jitsu"
special, I slammed back. And I
also want you to know that I was
absolutely sincere with all the
toast we drank to—so in the name
of "scopolomine" serum and all lie
dectectors, please believe me that
I was more sincere and aerious—
to night than ever before in my
life, I said in a solemn manner.
Not very many seconds had
elapsed before my "toast-mate"
went asleep, and soon began to
snore.
I was getting very, very tired
myself—as I was undressing the
whole venture and experiences I've
had in Europe began to flow
through my mind again—the more
I thought about it, the more pa-
thetic it became—was enough
pathos to cause even "Sitting Bull"
to weep with pity for the poor un-
fortunate folks in Totalitarian
states.
As I was laying in my bunk, I
began to notice that the music from1
France was becoming more and;
more beautiful. Every now and then
a little girl would sing for a little
while, just like Deanna Durbin.
The seas was now getting more
and more rougher.
As the winds were howling
through the riggings of the liner,
and the weather began to get cold-
e»r every minute, I soon covered my-
self snugly with blankets. After I
was comfortably warm, I gazed
once more at President Roosevelt's
portrait, and silently thanked him
again for preventing world war
No. 2. With these thoughts in mind,
I was very peaceful, because I did
not have to worry about t ghastly
torpedo creeping upon us in the
middle of the night. Yes, the ocean
water was ice-cold. I was peaceful
with the seemingly unpeacoful ele-
ments.
The universal forces of democ-
racy appeared to be stronger and
more harmonious than ever; even in
the inanimate things as well as the
animate—the beat of the propellers,
the swishing of the seas against the
ship's side, the howling wind, the
humming turbines, the squeeching
seagulls, my pulse beat, and even
the snores of my sleeping shipmate,
all seemed to be in perfect
rhythmic attunement and unison
with htat of the beautiful music
that which came from France.
Just before I slipped into the
oblivious "slumberland," through
the screaming winds, I could bare-
ly hear the faint and ever repeating
cries of definance from the "old-
ish" gent. "One cannot sacrifice too
much for Democracy."

There ought to be a law against bum print-
