“ THANK YOU ”.
Dear Worthy Brother Secretary and Worthy Brother Scribe,
Please convey my appreciation and grateful thanks to the Worthy Brother President, Officers, and all Worthy Brethren, Brethren, and wives, who expressed their concern and good wishes for my speedy recovery, to either my wife, Edie, or myself, during my recent and most unexpected spell in hospital.
I would like to place on record, a special “ Thanks ” to Worthy Brother Moshe Abramowitz, for his truly thoughtful and most Brotherly action, in his initiating E-mail contact with Brethren before he had any official notice of my hospitalization. This type of action should at all times apply to any Brother under similar circumstances, as a natural course of events in our Fraternal Order.
Thank G-d I am home again after the procedure, and P.G. hope to be back at Meetings as soon as possible.
With fraternal greetings, and best wishes,
Worthy Brother Archie
Poliak.

“ PUBLIC
DRUNKENESS ”.
From the State where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes a true story from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Recently, a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighbourhood tavern.
Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar, so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity, and trying his keys on five vehicles, the man managed to find his car, which he fell into. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally, he started the car, switched the wipers on and off ( It was a fine dry night ! ), flicked the indicators on and off, tooted the horn, and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little, and then remained stationary for few more minutes as more patrons left in their vehicles. At last he pulled out of the car park, and started to drive slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over, and carried out a Breathalyzer test. To his amazement, the Breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having consumed alcohol at all ! Dumbfounded, the officer said “ I’ll have to ask you to accompany me to the Police Station - this Breathalyzer must be broken.” I doubt it ” said the man. “ Tonight I’m the designated decoy”. _____________________________________________________________________________________
