2IT GOES DOUBLE
3This is a good one, so I thought I would pass it on to you. I am sure you will appreciate it.
4Near our home is a "super-market." They have placed a large box at the entrance, with an inscription on the outside which reads, "Please drop your discarded magazines in this box for our boys in the training-camps."
5One day last week I saw an elderly gentleman place two of this month's Blue Books in the box.
6I was interested, so I asked him why he put two of the same magazine in the box.
7He shook his finger at me and said: "Young lady, I have two grandsons in training-camps. When they were home, first one then the other read the stories from that magazine to me, and we had a good time and enjoyed them immensely. Now that they are gone, I send them each one every month, and I figure if the Blue Book is good enough for my grandsons, it's good enough for other people's grandsons."
