Those two were the only ones he was i afraid of in daytime. At night there was always Hooty the Owl. but i Peter didnt think of Hooty in the . daytime. That was Perer's mistake. for on dull dark days iiooty does l. go hunting, especially when food is g. scarce and he is very, very hungry. Many people think that Owls can- -l not see in the daytime. That is a

He was ” only a little way out from the dear . Old Briar-Patch when. looking 'back. he caught a glimpse of l-iooty -the Owl coming after him on big . swift wings.

Just ahead of him was the door- way to Johnny Chucks ground. I! Peter could just get in that hole in the ground he would be safe. Hooty the Owl couldnlt follow him there. Peter managed to run just a little faster. He could see that open doorway only a little way in front of him. Lippcrty. lipperty. lip he ran; lipperty, lipperty, lip.

USEFUL BOAT

The name "dinghy" is believed to have come from "dint-2e,” a type of rowboat used centuries ago in India.

Sirange,Bui True By F. ii. MacArthur

All cities and towns have traffic woes these days. But cheer up. By 2000 A.D. all of our worries will be over. According to the Automot- ive Safety Council three-le"vel high- ways will be commonplace in big cities, with parking largely under- ground and new office buildings of- fering parking place for their oc- cupants on each floor.

Despite fantastic increases in highway traffic. there will be lard- ly any congestion because of sup- erb expressways. Cities will be by- passed. lakes bridged, and mount ain ranges tunneled. Headlights will not be needed much of the time because major yiighways will be lighted as bright as day. Sleet or snow will melt as it hits the pave- ment. And if cars are disabled. they'll be whisked away by heli- copier.

No congestion. annoying delays. or parking problems. Too wonder- ful to be true? Well, perhaps. But it's the promise for the future.

Each morning in St. Paul's Cath- edral in London. an attendant un- locks a glass case and turns a slug- le page in an open book which in two feet high.

The book lists the names. in large letters, of 28.000 American airmen, soldiers, and sailors who died during the Second World War while fighting out of bases in the United Kingdom. Two fresh pages are exposed for cathedral visitors to read each day. When the verger gets to the end of the 474 pages, he begins all over. Every 237th. day the name of each of the Amer- icans comes up for view.

The book has taken on a special interest. Cathedral authorities have completed plans for an American Memorial Chapel which will be a conspicuous part of the majestic building after the last of the war damage has been repaired. The chapel will become the permanent home of the book. All the money for the chapel has been collected in Britain. It amounts to about S280.000.

St. Paul's stands on Ludgate Hill, one of the highest in the city of London. The cathedral has been towering over London for 250 years and looks almost as it did when the United States was still a Brit- ish colony. Outwardly it will not change. Bill when the restoration is finished. the interior will be near- er what it was intended to be by its architect and builder, Sir Christ- opher Wren.

It took 35 year s' to build 8. Paul's. after the old cathedral had been wrecked by the great London fire in 1666. Wren design d 70 churches and replanned London after the fire. He submitted nine designs for St. Paul's before one was accepted by government and church authorities-and then only af- ter many changes in Wren's ideas
