IN THE WINTER WHIRL

Those who have been keeping up
with the dOings of our own legisla-
tive body now in session at Dover
probably know of the bill asking for
the appropriation Of sum of money
for the blind in the State. This
money will be used for the building
aud the equipment of a school. 1t
was in the interest of this bill that
Miss Helen Keller, one of the won
ders of her age, made 4 visit to Dow
er on Tuesday afternoon of this
week and added her plea for these
less fortunate people, whose handi-
cap can be somewhat diminished by
special training. To those who saw
her, she seems more wonderful than
over before. The things that come
to one so easily, who can see and
hear, have been tremendous, neces-
sarily, to one who has acquired her
abundant knowledge with only the
sense of touch. Certainly the things
we groan over in our every day life
could seem petty were we to remem-
Der Miss Keller and benefit by her
miraculous feat
And now that it is Lent our minds
should be turned to the spiritual
sides of our natures as well as to
our physical pleasures. 1t is per-
haps time to renew the leaves we
turned over at the first of the year,
when we declared we would attend
our special church more regularly.
Every week at every church in town
beneficial sermons are given, and
constantly activities are being plan
ned to further the church fellowship.
We have in mind Just now the two
banquets-the Lads and Dads, on
Wednesday of this week, and the
Mothers and Daughters, on We'd I
nesday of next week. On last Sun
day sermon was given that was es-
pecially fitting to precede the Lads |
and Dads banquet. This Sunday |
there will be one equally as fitting
for the Mothers and their Daughters |
banquet. AS a rest from all of the
things you have done during the |
week we recommend that you hear
this sermon and get a new slant on
your life as a mother and as a daugh-
ter.

LEGION WILL ERECT
SAFETY ROAD SIGNS
To Place Signs at South Heart,
Zenith, BeIfieId, Fryburg
and Medora

Members of the Belfield post of the
American Legion plan to erect Amer
lean Legion safety signs in Missouri
Slope towns on Highway No. TO-
Signs will be placed at South Heart,
Zenith, Belfield, Fryburg and Me-
uora. The signs will ask motorists
to exercise ARE and thereby avoid
injuring or killing children.
Commenting on the movement the
Belfield Review says:
This move for the protection of
human life is national in scope and
already bearing fruits Of a well or
ganized campaign. Especially in the
minds of the originators of this move
ment is the protection of children.
How often have we seen these ire
sponsible youngsters shoot out in
front Of a a or truck without giving
thought to the dangers confronting
Do not blame the children?
Just exercise patience and care for
yourself. Think Of your own child
hood. You would tickle q colts hind
leg to see if he would kick you. You
hitch yourself to g. calf to see
was stronger.
In the century gone by the Lord
protected drunken men and children,
the advent of the automobile
his patience has become exhausted
and he calls on adult humanity to
lend their assistance in order that
the slaughter of the %innocents that
occurred last year will not be rebeat-
I'd in 1881"
