On My Morning Stroll

Well We wished and wished and
wished for snow and Saturday came
and brought old Jack Frost with him.
oh, yes We had the long wanted snow
fall and what was my surprise upon
meeting different folks along the streeI
to hear exclamations like this, "Oh,
dear ! wanted to 60 to the city in the
machine today and how can l in this
nasty weather." or a young lass in a
whinny voice said: Here there is a
big dance on this evening and l hate
to think of getting out into the wet
even if just running from the house
to the taxi l sure do hope this nasty
old snow does stop"
Isn't that life for you. Always
wanting what we can't have. / most
certainly do believe that If that little
prince in the fairy tale who wanted
the moon had been given it hat he
would have started in crying for the
stars or be disappointed in the for

Economics tell us hat is the means
of progress. That idea is the root
of making satisfaction out of dis
satisfaction If we were pleased with
all things then the world would stiIl
be run in a name similar to the
old biblical days. Don't you remem-
Der Eve wasn't satisfied with what
she had in the Garden of Eden ana
wanted the apple from the Tree OF
knowledge. After she had eaten that
she wasn't satisfied. Hence all down
the ages is this line of dissatisfaction
and the line of progress.
How can we expect the descendants
from such ancestors TO appreciate q
perfectly lovely snow fall when it does
come.
