Page Eleven P E P-O-G RAMS IRONICS Frank Irving Fletcher (In the N. Y. Herald-Tribute) The trouble with punctuality is that there isn't enough of it at nine o’clock in the morning and there is too much of it at five o’clock in the afternoon. “A PRAYER” Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder To the fault of those about me; Let me praise a little more; Let me be, when I am weary, Just a little bit more cheery; Let me serve a little better Those that I am striving for; Let me be a little braver. Let me strive a little harder When temptation bids me waver; To be all that I should be; Let me be a little meeker With the brother that is weaker; Let me think more of my neighbor And a little less of me. — Author Unknoivn (but poem found and submitted by Ethel Langdon.)
