and work out Of doors getting close
to nature helps US to lead a SIM
pie life also to get down to facts and
to know the truth. When he noticed
the garden tools stood up in sets,
hung up and cleaned, he remarked

gathering place. In this circle were
not only those Of her own age. but
also the younger folk. particularly
those of the Winthrop Street Uni

member. Mr.. Vickery and the late
DR.. Crooker were the pioneers in the
