Harold Wilkinson received his medal
from the war department few days
ago. The medal was awarded him for
Exceptional bravery in the performance
of duty. 1t is hard to tell who is the
prouder over this parents, Mr.. anu
Mrs. VIM. Wilkinson, or the town folks
themselves. We're we not so blind to
the finer things in the everyday folks
around us, many times we would re-
cogniZe these traits in the people with
whom we rub elbows daily. We are apt
to think that all the brave, fine people
live in other communities, but this is
not true by any means. Sons were sent
forth from modest homes in modest
little towns and the great Of the earth
found qualities in them that merited
public recognition, and we rejoice; but
it is cause for still greater rejoicing
that these young men, who stood out
cOnspicuOusly even in a crowd OF brave
and heroic men, come quietly back and
take up the daily round of homely tasks
as though nothing had happened. Who
shall say whether it doessnO take more
iheroism to assume and carry on the
daily petty duties of life in fine and
noble way than it does to challenge at
Itention by one thrilling act OF bravery!
The individual who can do both will
accomplish much in life and by the
Iway in which Harold has slipped back
into his duties at the store proves that
he has both kinds of courage, and every
one is as proud of this as they are OF
his other accomplishment.
