PETER STAYS AT HOME

game, people are so very dense: 1hey must be frightened into sense. -Old Mother Nature.

the dear Old Briar Patch is the lBlFSl place in all The Great world for Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter. it is made up of bushes, mung trees. briars and brambles all tangled together. It is. such brambles that make it a safe place tor Peter and Mrs. Rabbit. With their Sharp teeth they have cut little paths this way and that through the brambles. in some places the brambles are so tang- lcrl that the little paths through them are really little tunnels. They arr Just big enough for those Rab- bit. to run along easily.

Once in a great while some hun- ;rx enemy tries to follow Peter or 'llI'- Peter. They never get far. riirir faces are scratched and their coats are torn by the bramb- lrz. They usually back out before they have gone very far.

now wouldn't you think that Pet- -r would be content and happy to .iav at home in such a safe place? But tic isiiii. He has wliat is call- -d tlw wandering foot. That means hat he likes to go wondering about. This is because he is so full of

But every chance he gets then she isn't watching. he slips Mil and away he goes, llpperty, luipeily. lip over to the Big River. lira Peter is always sure that something will happen to him and he will never come home again. But he always does.

This night the Black Shadows had rrept out from the Purple Hills ex- tra earlv. Anyway. it seemed that tray to Peter.

"I think I'll run over to the Old Pasture and see if old Jed Thump- -.r is still there." said Peter to lirs Peter Old Jed Thumper was llr: Peter's father.

"You will do nothing of the kind." dcrlared Mrs. Peter.

”Why not.'?". asked Peter.

"I didn't hear him." said Peter.

"You would have if you had been using those long ears as it was intended they be used. What is more. I heard Mrs. Reddy am- wer him. So both of them are mitt- lng over in the Old Pasture." de- clared Mrs. Peter.

"Then I'll go over to the Green Forest." said Peter.

No sooner were the words out of his mouth than they heard the hunting call of Hooty the Owl. big- gest and fiercest member of the Owl family. Peter changed his mind.

He yawned. "I think I'll stay at home tonight.” said be. He yswned again. He was pretending to be sleepy.

"I'm glad for once you have a little sense. Peter Rabbit." said Mrs. Peter. She said it rather tart- ly. Peter didn't mind.

Warsaw Pact Members Issue

PRAGUE tReuters)-Jflie Com- mtmist countries of Europe Satur- day night called on the West to Join them in 1 series of European security agreements after enlist- ing East Germanys armed forcesl in their military network. In I joint declaration signed and issued here. the eight nations of the Communist Warsaw pact said they are willing to co-operate "for the strengthening of European secur- ity and the elimination of the threat of A new war in Europe."

concretely. they suggested that both the Warsaw act nations and the members of the North At- lantic Treaty Organization agree "to solve differences and conflicts arising between them only by peaceful means!

They also proposed that the "in- terested countries" ban atomicl

eluding German troops, and called for establishment. of a zone in Europe where the number and location of armed forces would be' limited by special ugreement.

Needles. P1113. razor blades. and a few perfect leaves are enough to keep Adrian Lewis happy for many hours. For almost 40 years Lewis bu found plensu e in his unusual lenf-etching hobby. Lewis. who lives near Nqv York City. uses maple. horse chestnut. basswood. oak. linden. and ash leaves. Most of his etchings feature scenes from the Bible-Calvhry. Daniel in the lion's den. Noah's Ark. and Holy Land scenes at the time of Christ's

birth. g

Using his few simple tools. Lew- is stm ly-penetrates the surface of the leaves to various depths. He uses no patterns or tracing guides of any kind. His finished leaves. most of which he gives to friends. are preserved by lacquer. or sim- ply by pressing them between the pages of a heavy book. Of his hob- by, Lewis says. "For almost 40 years leaf-etching has been provid- ing some of the relaxation my body requires." -

The law allows him only four wives at one time. but does not limit the number he can divorce.

One of the most fantastic armies of all time was the Imperial Nose- gsys of Russia. for each soldier had an unusually big nose. You see. Emperor Nicholas 1 had heard there was a certain big-nosed tribe of fierce fighters in the northern reaches of his kingdom. They'd never quite been tamed and re- glmented.

If a man with a big nose was a good fighter in one part of the kingdom. why wouldn't a man with 1 big nose in another part also make an excellent combat soldier. the emperor reasoned. So he sent men out -into the hiizhways and hv- ways to conscript Russian males with extra prnmincnt beaks. In time. they found enough of these large-nosed individuals to form a
