West did not open the club ace - which would have made it inipussibie for South to go wrong -- he led his top diamond.

ing to be afraid of in broad day- light from Hooty and Mrs. Hooty; that they did all their hunting at night.

”So you think those Owls never are around when the sun is shin- ing said Sammy. "What makes you think so?"

"Because they can't see in the sunlight. Everybody knows that Owls can see only at night." de- clared Peter.

Sammy slowly shook his head. "Do you really believe that?" he asked.

"Of course i believe it." snap- ped Peter. lie was beginning to be a little cross. Then he added. "Have you ever seen them hunt- ing in the daytime?"

”0ften." replied Sammy Jay. "Let me tell you something. Pet- er Rabbit. Don't for a minute think those Owls can't see in the daytime. even in bright sunlight. They can see better than you can. And if you persist in running about over here in the daytime, one of these days Hooty is going to have his favorite dinner. and that is a Rabbit dinner."

"Pooh!" said Peter. "Whoever told you anything like that? Owls can't see in the daytime."

"Again Sammy shook his head. "It is true, Peter." said he. "that Owls do most of their hunting at night, but that isn't because they can't see by day. It is because it is easier hunting at night than in daylight for they have big night-seeing eyes. but they can see perfectly by day.

Then and now. A few years back wheat was put to the torch. cotton fields ploughed under, pigs drowned. coffee dumped into the ocean. and fruit left to rot in the orchards - to spark prices.

Nowadays we stockpile the stuff

good time. What! you don't be- lieve it? Then read the following stunning facts: millions of pounds of raisins stored in limestone caves at Atcheson. Kansas; a mountain of shelled corn in an airplane hanger at Lincoln. Ne- braska. and millions of bushels of wheat in elevators in Canada and the U. S.

in this growing stockpile must be included "383 million pounds powdered milk . . . 363 million pounds of butter . . . 100 million pounds of wool . . . 22 million pounds of cheddar cheese together with stocks of peanuts, rice. huge vats of turpentine, olive oil. lin- seed oil. tobacco and cotton."

To keep this huge stoc'," in storage is costing Uncle Sam and gohn Canuck some 3400.000 per ay.

We can't use this surplus stuff in our own countries so why not make a gift of it to the 70 per cent of the people who are un- dernourished?

The fellow who hoarded his shekels used to be called a miser. Now he is called a wizard.

An amazed man was Al New- man. operator of a restaurant in New York City. when he opened an envelope and found a cheque for 51.70 and an unsigned note which read: "This is in payment for a meal I ate in your place several years ago. I slipped out without paying the cheque. I apologize for trying to beat you out of your oney."
