more articulate.
Collectors had trouble with the
Century Of Progress issue. They
wanted imperforate issues (stamps
ungummed and without perfora-

point. More recently was criticism
directed at the Maryland Tercen-
tenary issue, which depicted two
ships, the Ark and the Dove. in red.
Postal clerks complained RED was
color for 2-cent stamp and the
Maryland Scent issue confused
them.
Then still fresh in the public mind
is the controversy over the Moth

FACING 4 CRISIS

This week means the end of the school
wear and in some cases the END OF school-
ing for Young men and young women
who will not be able to continue on III
educational institutions after gradual-
ing from high school or junior college.
They are about to face a critical per-
iod in their lives Jobs or positions are
at premium. Many men with families
and many young men who have been
seeking for work indefinitely, can tell the
newcomers to the ranks Of the unem-
ployed just how tough it is.
Nothing that we can say here will be
of any actual help to the new members
in the ranks of the unemployed, yet we
cannot refrain from telling them to be
patient and to have faith. Eventually
things will change.
They will find themselves with much
leisure time on their hands That is the
big danger that confronts them. Kill
ing time" is a difficult task, Often at
tempts to do so result in disaster for
temptation is strong to kill time" in
ways which are not all that they should
be.
The tempter will urge the idle one to
take a chance There is easy money"
or good time" to be had by following
the advice of the tempter. 1t is to such
as these that the idle should turn deaf
ear There is no easy money" or good
time worth the price one pays for it.
There are ways of passing idle time
profitably and enjoyably. The library
with wonderful assortment of books,
offers most interesting field for pass
ing leisure time.
Usually there is plenty to be done
around the home if one only wishes to
do it. Better for the idle to spade up
the ground and clear it of trash, than
to listen to the tempter who would have
them scorn anything that savors of hon.
est work.
The young men and women who are
entering the class of which we write are
entitled to and should have the sympa-
thetic cooperation and understanding of
all of US who are older. We should help
them to have faith in themselves and aid
them in any way possible to tide over the
crisis which they face.
To those who will resume school in the
fall we say, BE thankful, and make the
most of your opportunities. Time alone
will tell you how fortunate you are

BED TIME STORIES

Uncle Wiggily, looking out from
beneath the bush and listening
knew he had nothing TO fear It was
only two trees talking as the wind
1llstled their leaves and branches.
And as the rabbit gentleman looked
at the hemlOck tree he saw that it
would be much hotter than the
maple. for the leaves OF the hemlock
were heavy and thick. OF course,
spruce and pine trees might also be
very hot on a warm day, but there
happened to be no pines or spruces
where Uncle Wiggily was just then.
L wonder said the rabbit gen.
tleman, If I couldn't do something
SO the hemlock might be cool on hot
days?' just then, off through the
woods, Uncle Wiggily heard the
muymur of a brook. The water in
the brook was running along over
the stones very fast. Il had a cool
scum. The water in the brook was
verV ccol even on a hot day.
Il EroW what I can dc said the
rabbit gentleman. 4 can turn the
brock or part Of it this way. If the
brock would run at the fCot of the
hct hemlCck it wouldn't be SO warm
in Summer. I'll do it,
Uncle Wiggily was very good at
digging turroW holes in the ground.
but he could not very we'll make
ditch or canal SO part Of the brook
would run beneath the tree that
was SO afraid Of being hot. It would
need a long ditch to bring the brook
water near the roots CT the hemlock.
But 1 think it's the best way to
do" murmured Mr.. Longears. "Only
how can l do it? Before I say any
thing to the hemlock, I will go to
the brook and take a look. I must
find a way to get some water to
this part of the woods. I want to
make the tree happy"
AS the rabbit hoped toward the
brook he heard the hemlock say
again:
"Oh, I'm so hot and I'm going to
get hotter I wish I could get COOL"
Mr.. Longears twinkled his pink
nose and smiled And what he did
next I shall tell you tomorrow night
in the story Uncle Wiggilys Kind
Deed"

take her fur off to wrap the gold
fish in or the fish may get so hot it

WE'RE PROUD OF HIN

Our congratulations go to Leroy Kirk
patrick, Central Union high school ath-
lete, who has brought new honors to
himself and his school by winning the
state championship in the high and low
hurdles at Berkeley on Saturdays.
His time for the high hurdles, 147
seconds, set new state record, while
doing the lows in 239 tied the record for
that event.
This young man has been hurdling
little more than year and in that time
he has risen to national prominence.
Only recently the United Press asked for
long article about him for its files and
future reference as timber for the Olym-
pic games of 1886.
While his time Saturday was not as
fast in either event as it has been on for-
mer occasions which brought him the
worlds interscholastic championship in
both classes of hurdles, it was fast
enough to win and is all the more worthy
of praise for the performance was on a
SLOW" track, made so by heavy rains.
Throughout the honors that have come
to him, Kirkpatrick has kept his head to
its normal dimensions. He has not al
lowed his success to change him into
what is known as high hat" Best
proof of this is seen in his recent cleo
tion as president of Control Union stu
dent body. His fellow-students would
not accord such an honor even to a star
athlete if he was not also a regular
fellow.
Kirkpatrick has ambition. He has his
heart set on making the Olympic team
two years hence, and there is every rea-
son to believe that he will do so. A ma
tural ability in his chosen form of ath-
letic competition is augmented by cour-
age and confidence in himself, plus a re-
spect for worthwhile foemen.
Ell Centro should be proud of this
young man and there is every reason to
believe that the future will bring his
home town even greater reason to be
proud of him.
