bad for Alvin J. (Jake) Powell, former
Senator and star outfielder of the
world champion Yankees, last nlfht
when he was held up at his home,
768 Dale drive, and robbed of between
$40 and $50.
Powell returned home about 8 p.m.
and had just opened the door of his
garage when a rough voice ordered
him to "keep his hands up in the air."
A gun was pressed against his back
to reinforce the demand.
Jake complied and one of the men,
held the gun against him while the
other went through his pockets. When
the searcher found his wallet, the pair
fled back down the driveway.
Powell ran inside the house and got

Stout Song
for a Winter’s Day
The most popular
brow m tko world
When that the chilling Norther blows,
And Winter tells a heavy tale,
When Pyes and DaWes and Rookes and Crows
Do sit and curse the frost and snows,
Oh give me stout brown ale!
Adapted from u eld drifting ieag is “Merry Drollery Complest"
IN olden times men sought the good cheer of
stout brown ale in the coldest winter weather.
Today the word “ale” has been dropped, but
since 1759 Guinness has been brewed “stout
brown** in the same unhurried way.
Guinness is brewed in Dublin from barley malt,
hops, yeast and water—nothing else. It is aged for
a year, in oak vats,and in Bottle. Because of this
natural brewing, Guinness brings natural enjoy
ment. It’s a cold wind, indeed, that can chill your
spirits, once you*ve developed a taste for Guinness.
GUINNESS IS ENJOYED before or during meals, eftmr
exercise or tehen tired, end before retiring. You should
be eble to get it sehorover you buy good beer or ole.
Guinness
IS GOOD FOR YOU
