WELCOME ROBIN HAI A BAD NIGHT

The Giver of all gifts can give, No greater gift than will to live. -Old Mother Nature.

Among the furrod and leather- ad folk ol the Green Forest and the Green Meadows it is the will to live that keeps them alive. These are times in the lives of all of them. big and little, when it takes courage to even try to live. Bold deeds require no cour- age if the door has no fear. it is the one who IS afraid. yet does a bold deed, who has real courage.

Welcome Robin had been spend- ing the winter in a small grove of cedar trees. In among those trees he had been so sheltered that at no time had he really suilered from the cold. There had been a big crop of berries on the

he had had nothing to fear from hungry louiviooted liuiilers. Most of the liawk folk had gone south for the winter, so Welcoiiie Robin' had hatl xery little to fear. 1

All the first hall of the Willie!" there had been no HSIUIFS whom Welcome Robin had reason to fear. Whenever there were any visitors he had remaiiicd liiddenl, under the snovt-cmei'ed liuughs. He didnt want anyone to know he was living there. Then came I day when winter was more than ball over that Welcome Robin just had to sing.

Now Welt-onie Robin's song is not the sweetest of all birds songs. There are other far better sing- on among the feathered folk, But there are no bird notes that folks are more glad to hear than the cheery songs of Welcome Robin. This day he had felt so good that several times he had flown up to the top of a tree and sent his cheery notes ringing irough the Green Forest.

It was a mistake. Not too far away a pair of wonderfully keen ears heard that ”cheer up. cheer I9. oheorl" They were the ears

cheer up. He could tell where they were coming iroin. "That is Welcome Robin." thought Iiooty. ”Tliere is no mis- taking his voice. It must be that he has come up early from the land of Always Summer. I'll Just. have a look iiround over there tonight."

When he went to bed that night Welcome Robin was on his favor- ite perch. It was close to the trunk of a tree. its was tucked in under another big bough. He couldn't easily be seen there by even the but of oyol in the day- time. He had been sleeping there all winter, and seldom had he been disturbed at night. Hooty the Owl had never visited those cedar trees. Welcome Robin had almost forgotten that there was such I person as Hooty tin Owl.

This night he settled himself as usual on his perch in the dusk of early evening, ltuckod his head under his wing, and went to sleep. lie was awakened by a startling sound. It made him pull his head out from under his wing, but otherwise he didn't move. He held his breath as he wslted'for that sound in be repeated. In a mo- ment it was.

Strange But True

By F. H. MacArthur

The Bank of London recently was called on to do a new kind of jig-saw puzzle - piecing to- gether tt0 pounds sterling for Mrs. Gladys Lloyd. of Bristol. She hid the money in her wash- ing machine and forgot about it until she'd finished the family wash. When she opened the ma- chine she found the currency n chewed up mass of pulp.

The right to think and speak as you please is unknown in Russia. The same thing could happen in our own country if we failed to put in office the right kind of men. True liberty can be held and enjoyed only as we use them carefully and do not abuse them.

The cranberry is a native to Cape Cod. The early Indians re- lies. on the succulent berries for food and medicine. Cranberries traditionally are linked to Thanks- giving and Christmas, but now are being used every day as cocktail. jams; salads, relishes, pies. cakes and ice cream.

"There are two classes of peo- ple working for the government -civil servants, who get such things as sick leaves. vacations. holidays and pensions and taxpayers. who don't."

An m-pound chunk of ice tumbled from the sky directly above the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Burghiil. of Bristol. Eng- land. The unheralded package fell from a plane and crashed tirough the roof. No one was hurt.

One way to take your mind off your trouble for auliile is to go

fishing and becunic the center of attraction for unlimited in- sects.
