A VACATION AT HOME
For those who have been unable
to taken vacation during the sum
mer, the Baltimore Sun suggests
that it is not yet too late to have all
the thrills of a summer resort right
at home. Here is how it may be done
Move into the smallest bedroom in
your house; if possible one im
mediately over the kitchen.
If your bed is soft and downy, put
a couple of bricks in it.
Dig a hole in the garden, get into
it and cover yourself up to the neck.
When you get tired of this diversion,
wash yourself off with the garden
hose.
Don't have any clothes washed for
two weeks.
Sit on a rough board in the hot sun
and hold a baited fishing line in your
hand.
If you wish to take a quiet nap in
the afternoon, put a radio next to
your bed and turn it on fuil blast.
In the evening, remove thescreens
from the bedroom windows so that
the mosquitoes can get in to you.
Go up to the roof and expose your-
self to the sun unti] you are nicely
burned. Then take whatever exer-
cises will make you stiff and sore.
When you have wearied of ali this
and wish to return to a normal life,
send yourseif a bill for $20 to $23 a
week and don't forget to give a nice
fat tip to the cook.
Christian Church
A Friendly Church for Friendiy
Propie '
Sunday School 10:00 a. m.
Morning worship begins at 10:50
a. m. The sermon topic is "A Chris-
tian's Liberty." Freedom is not only
a privilege, but it is a responsibility,
therefore, Christians should know
how to prepare themselves to meet
this responsibility.
Christian Endeavor will begin at
7 p. m. The Endeavor topic is
"Standing Up for the Rights of
Others."
Evening service begins at 7:45 p
m. The sermon topic is "Question of
Immortality." It is the spiritual lifr'
that endures after the physical has
perished. Man is different from the
rest of the creation in this one re-
spect, and that difference transforms
him from a child of nature into a
child of God. The reference to the
oldest belief on this teaching may be
found in Hebrews 11: 1-16.
We cordiaiiy invite you to attend
both our morning and evening ser-
vices.

sions, 2,500 agents closed in on vio-
lators. Texas and California were

in Richmond, Va., which was de-
scribed by authorities as a center of
a thriving narcotics trade. B. M.
Martin, southeastern narcotics sup-
ervisor stated.
"The ease with which dope is pur-
chased in Richmond, has caused a
great influx of addicts whose petty
thievery costs the local merchants
at ieast $50,000 annualty."
Alcohol tax agents seized 294 11- !
licit stills and over 5,000 gaiions of
