TREASURES LOST FOR EVER

War caused the destruction of the

books were rolls of papyrus. which ut

~ MARY RAHA0RON

"There are heroes of many kinds"
said Daddy. brave men who fight for
liberty, firemen who do not fear burn
ing houses and who rescue people I'M
der all sorts of danger to themselves.
There are those who will go in the
water after people who have become
exhausted and who have not been able
to swim any more and so have cried
for help. And this is very dangerous
for the rescuer, as often these peo-
pie get nervous and so frightened that
they don't half realize what they are
doing and try to pull their rescuer
under the water in their efforts to grab
him.
Then there are brave policemen and
many splendid, brave people in the
world, but besides people there are
many horses and dogs who do fine
things.
"We have all heard Of the dogs who
have saved children from the water
and of those who have saved people
| from fires. In fact. sometimes, some
of us feel very much ashamed when
| we think how fine are the creatures
/ who can't talk and understand and
