AGG.
Washington regards Governor
Winant as conscientious and able
administrator and probably the best
informed man in America on social
security laws of other countries and
the way they operate. 1t is regarded
here as reasonably certain that
some improvements in the Social
Security Act will have to be made,
and Governor Winant's leadership
and counsel will be needed.
That staunch friend and support
er of President Roosevelt, Frank C..
Walker, who was one of the first
Roosevelt for President men away
back in 1880, is being talked about
here as the probable successor to
Postmaster General Farley. Yhe be-
lief grows that Mr.. Farley will re-
sign on or before Inauguration day,
January 20, and Mr.. Walker is re-
garded as the logical choice.
Walker has demonstrated his ex-
ecutive capacity and organizing
ability in setting up and starting
off numerous federal agencies, the
administration of which was later
turned over to others The Presi-
dent has high regard for Mr..
Walker and if he is not made Post
master General the probability is
that he will be placed in some
equally important post.

Spirit Of Christmas
By Katherine Edelman

CURRENDER yourself TO the
Spirit of Christmas! Let it's
~ joy thrill you-let its peace
steal softly across your heart! Open
your ears to the magic Of its mes
sage-open your eyes to the mira
cles it accomplishes!
Read again Dickens Christmas
Carol, the best known and most in
spring of all the Christmas stories.
And don't feel ashamed. if at the
end, as Tiny Tim whispers, "God
bless us, every one," you find your
own eyes wet with tears.
Open the Book cf Books. and let
Luke tell you about that first Christ
mas-of the long journey to Bethle-
hem, of the birth in the humble
manger, of the shepherds keeping
watch over their focks. Listen to
the heavenly music that was heard
upon the hills, to the thrilling
words Of the angel. "Behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy,
which snail be to all people. For
unto you is born this day in the
city Of David Savior, which is
Christ the Lord" Bow your head
and give thanks for the Prince of
Peace who came, saying with the
angels, "Glory to God in the high
est, and on earth peace, good will
toward men,"
Let Matthew tell you of the COM
ing Of the Wise Men from the East,
with their gifts of gold, franklin
cense, and myrrh, which they pre-
sented to the Christ Child.
Then, with the Spirit of Christ
mas in your heart, go forth and
help make Christmas a brighter
and "a happier day for others!

what that had meant they didn't un-
derstand. Bob White and Mrs. Bob
explained to them now.
"One of your brothers and one OF
your sisters have not come in answer
to my rallying CALL" explained BOD
1T is the first time they have ever
failed. 1t means that probably they
never will come again. 1t means that
probably that two-legged hunter with
the terrible firestick that went bang

the terrible hunting season, and there
is only one thing for you to do and
that is at all times try to lie low. Do
not take to your wings unless you
absolutely must, for during the terri
BILE hunting season you are safer on
the ground than In the air. And let
me tell you, children, as Peter Rabbit
would tell you, that there Is no safer
place than a bramble-tangle. This
is why the Old Briar-patch Is so safe
place. Never forget that briars and
brambles are the best friends OF Bob
Whites and Rabbits. Isn't this 80,
Peter?"
Peter Rabbit, who was sitting close

In the Old Pasture. The flock was
widely scattered
So Bob continued to call and he
continued to get answers. They drew
nearer. BY and by a little reddish
brown form entered the dear Old
Briar-patch by one of Peter Rabbits
private paths. He had no trouble
running along this and presently was
with his father and mother. Then
another arrived and presently more
came running in from ali directions.
How anxiously Mrs. Bob looked at each
as it arrived. You know. there had
been the sound of terrible gun and
she was fearful of what that terrible
bang might have meant.
Presently there were a dozen young
Bob Whites there with their father
and mother in the dear Old Briar-
patch. Bob continued to whistle.
There was the whirr of wings and two
more dropped in among the bushes
and the brambleS. For a while there
we're no more, nor were there any more
answering whistles. Could 1t be that
the missing six had been killed. Anx-
iously Mrs. Bob listened for q reply as
Bob continued to whistle. Presently
she heard an answering whistle far,
far away. Bob heard it too, and sent
the rallying call far across the Green
Meadows. There came an answer
from point little nearer. And then
there came two answers, Mrs. Bob's
heart grew lighter.
The time came when there were nc
more answers. -Four of the missing six
children had appeared. Over and over
Mrs. Bob counted her big family
There were Is children present and
she could make no more. This meant
that two were missing. It was sad. It
was very sad, but of course it might
have been very much worse and Mrs
Bob realized this.
The young birds were very much
excited. They didn't understand at

knew was that they had been terribly

- o. THROUGH your favorite
woods. Look for the dead
hickories, oaks, tulips, ma
~ Piles, beeches, poplars and
willows. Or your barns, cordwood or
fenceposts, after a hot, damp night.
At first you may think these trees or
spots are in bloom with beautiful white
flowers. The dead has put forth life,
and this form of life is an edible
mushroom. a fungus that grows in
abundance, even in ordinary warm
weather, from these fast decaying
woods.
Here is one thing to remember.
Mushrooms which grow on wood are
much safer to pick than those you find
growing on the ground. The poisonous
fungi, in almost every case, rise from
leafmold.
This mushroom is one Of the easiest
of all to identify. There are no HARM
full ones that can be confused with 1t.
1t may be found in almost every part
of our country and is to be found
nearly the year round. 1t is one of the
most deliciously favored Of the mush.
rooms, and you find 1t in such
abundance that you can have many
tasty dishes made Of 1t.
Make up your mind to know . few
of the edible mushrooms well. This
one may be found so close to your
home that you can study 1t carefully
in all its stages, to make sure you
know 1t.
Looking for the trees 1t selects is an
aid to identifying trees, also. These are
dead, and the spores Of the mush-
room have settled upon the decaying
wood. Year after year, these trees
produce large crops of oyster mush-
rooms. One or two trees will furnish
a small family with mushrooms for
several days. A dozen trees would
produce, on a warm, damp day, a
bushel or more.
Once you have found your trees,
