  1. 3rd November, 1938
    Proverbs.
    You will never miss the water till the well runs dry.
    Too late to spare when all is spent.
    Your best friend is your purse.
    Time and tide wait for no man.
    Have it your self or be without it.
    A starry night is the sailor's delight.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
