MY FRIENDS In AUSTRALIA.

Jerry from Austraiia---that was an I
was destined to know.
The next day he rang me up to
say very briefly, II love you, Murry
Pcckford---" and so il went Until his
mother caught him one afternoon and
poured her unnecessary apologies
into my ear. 1t all came about be-
cause Jerry had seen me on the
screen and his mother had held his
hand while he printed his name In
the book outside the Sydney The
alter. "Tell hurry Peckford / buyed
her a cup and saucer" he prompted
his mother.
"Every child in Sydney who wrote
his name In that book thought Il was
he who was buying the loving cup"
explained Jerry's mother. my hus-
band was an official there, and he told
me it was the first time the official
seal OF Sydney was stamped on any
thing besides legal document"
And of course this all helped 70
make me prouder and happier of the
wonderful token of friendship As I
have written to my Australian friends.
the silver cup on my dresser is a boon
to my spirit, and has made me more
than ever want to embody in my pfe-
lures my message of love TO the
world.

While we should look upon the chill
dren of another land as our cousins,
we often build titanic stone walls be-
tween them and ourselves that we
may never hope to climb over. In

A short time ago, huge package

opened it, with my eyes as big as

10000 names written in il, and it was
