they WOULD ever grow INTO great TAN
pines.
On a tiny hill overlooking big |
white house and garden which in the
summer was filled with flowers, stood |
two enormous pines opposite each 9TH
er. One was called Grandfather Pine
Tree and the other Grandmother Pine
Tree.
From their hill they saw so many
things happening. They watched the
garden being planted every spring,
they saw the flowers coming up. First
one group of flowers would appear and
then another. And that was the way
it went along all through the summer.
Different flowers seemed to have
| their different times, and each time
| seemed loyelier than the last, as
| though the flowers tried to say,
| 1--WE know beautiful pOsies have
gone before us, but we want to be
loved, oh we do, we do indeed" And
then they would smile and turn their
| lovely heads up to the sun, and he
would shine down lovingly upon them
| and they would become so beautiful,
| so very beautiful.
All this the pine trees had seen, and
in the springtime they always saw the
blossoms on the pear trees, the wild
cherry trees, and the apple trees.
Later on they would see tiny fruits
appearing, and how the robins loved
the wild cherry trees. Such feasts as
were given thenI Such chirping and
singing and merry-making in Bird
landi
Then they would see the trees have
bigger leaves, and still later on they
would see these leaves painted by Mr..
| Jack Frost and the Autumn Paint
club. Oh, such colors as they would
| become! How Grandfather ana Grant,
mother Pine Tree did love to see them
j Soon though the leaves would begin
to fall from the trees and they would
II fly this way and that, and children
U would have bonfres. great blazes!
There would be laughing and singins
5 and jumping, and the cold air would
G give the children rosy cheeks as the.
i played.

each year, and then they saw tn

which will be remembered for a long
time as one of the towns most success

sition of peculiar advantage The Med

canvass as 1t progressed from day TO

ton he has no hesitation in saying
that the people who put the thing

at it early and late, always cheerful

the result outstripped the imagination

Benefit wholly aside from that which
win come from the War Chest itself
has been derived from the process of
filling it. The town has been awakened
to a keener realization of its response
bility in the present world crisis by
reason Of the fact that the burden of
bearing that responsibility has been
distributed much more widely than
would be possible in any other way.
Furthermore, Brattleboro people have
been given new and impressive dem

quite enough to meet all the calls for
money for war relief work that may be
