GRAHAM CRACKER ARE BROTHER BAND About three years ago three Piqua brothers conceived the idea of forming a musical organization and after practicing a bit they liked the idea and ever since have been entertaining their friends and the public with their varien programs. The group is known as The Graham Crackers, with Kenneth Graham, tenor banjo player, the manager, and Pat and Carl Graham the other members of the "band." At first th group played and sang old time songs but as their ability with the instruments grew, they turned to pieces and now at the programs they give before clubs and at private parties they mix the programs as may be desired.

Kenneth Graham, who resides at 404 South Main street says he and his brothers like the work and intend to keep on filling engagements. They have a busy season ahead of them during the coming holidays. UNIQUE NEWSPAPER EXHIBITED AT CALL Was Published on the Back of Wallpaper in 1863 at Vicksburg, Miss.

"Sick of my own cooking." How familiar these quotations are.

So familiar, that many housewives think the conditions they refer to are a necessary part of housekeeping. But they're not. There's a cause, and modern science has removed that cause. The cause of course, is 'an old fashioned stove. modern electric range takes the back breaks and the heartaches out of cooking.

With the guess work removed, with certain results assured as unfailingly to the young bride as to the experienced housekeeper, what excuse is there for putting up with an old fashioned stove? The savings on "cooking failures" will almost pay for a new electric range.

AT LEAST (Concluded from Page One) ing blocks struck by incendiary Fascist Gen. Francisco Franco sent 30 bombing planes In the fearful mass attack. The fleet flew low and close formation to dump 40 ton cargo of bombs along the pnsro De Rosaies sector in the lenguered capital's northwest and into government lines outside suburban Pozuelo De Alcacorn. Each plane loosed four 500 pound "ash cans," as well as smaller bombs. In all, more than 400 bombs were dumped into the city, exploding in an almost continuous roar.

The air attack was followed by a renewed Fascist drive to separate Madrid proper from the Casa Del Cnmpo Pnrk by nn attack on Pozuelo and the Manzanares River valley. War office communiques claimed government forces were attacking within 25 miles of Burgos, seat ot the Fascist Junta, and the civil population was evacuating Vltorin, in the Bay of Biscay sector, in advance of a government onslaught. Government planes were said to have attacked Fascist concentrations at Alnva in the Basque know and take pride to saying he may have been wrong many times but never was he Insincere or dishonest.

In this day and when one hears so much about the lack of courtesy and thoughtfulness on the part of motorists regarding the poor pedestrian, instances in contrast to the usual charges are readily noted. The other day near the noon hour. Daily Call reporter, while driving home to dinner, saw this happen An elderly woman, unfortunately crippled and pushing one of those shopping baskets that have wheels on the bottom, had made her way out from the curb in hope that she ght be able to get across a down town street.

She looked to the right and then to the left as strings of cars headed both up end down the street swept past her. However, in the respective lines of cars, were two men who, though perhaps in a hurry to get somewhere, courteously halted their autos, and motioned the to take her time and cross in safety. This act, halted traffic for better than a minute but somehow the day seemed brighter to the Daily Call reporter who, as a spectator of the incident, found his faith in human kindness on the part of mo torists, somewhat rejuvenated. Just who the two auto drivers remains a mystery but here' hoping that their respective days were brighter and they themselves much happier. Perhaps each said to himself as he stopped to permit the aged lady to cross the street safety "She's someone's mother I'd like others to do the same for mine." You Blow Through Here J.

Len Schrader, a member of the club and well known in local soft ball circles, was the first victim. He passed the test successfully or at least to the satisfaction of the Tail Twister. However, President Gardner popped up and questioned Jacquemin "if was the healthy thing to do passing the pipes from the mouth of one member to another," adding that he wasn't afraid to blow on it but did think it wasn't exactly the sanitary thing to do. And then he explaimed "Bring it here, I'll blow it." Jacquemin acquiesed and handing the contraption to the Lion President said "Blow on this one, Schrader used the other."
