At Red Cross headquarters, busiest spot in Water. bury these days and where all financial contributions for flood victims in Hartford being accepted an in- cident happened yesterday which seems worthy of passing along. timid and modest appearing lady of apparently middle age ventured into the office. She waited quietly while Mrs. Edith Ladd and assistants attended to telephone calls Then she offered the local director envelope which, she said contained small contribution from her. She hoped the Red Cross did
 not deem it necessary to reveal her identity Mrs. Ladd assured her that identification was solely up to the
 donor and after having accepted the thanks of the Red Cross leader here the elderly lady departed Mrs Ladd opened the envelope. The elderly womans "smal" contribution was a crisp ten dollar bill.

Movie Just Came to Them

Even during the making of the recent moving picture, "The Country Doctor" the children were handled in such way that they did not know they were the center of attention. New lamps were devel- oped which gave ample light with out 8 suggestion of strain. And the brief sequences in which the children appeared were 50 arranged that they never suspected that any thing unusual was going on
 It was all @ game to the. babies. There was no attempt to direct them or indicate what they should do, no special deference to them. They simply played, and 1t was photographed. Nobody is going to get self conscious or artificial that way.
 There has been considerable mis- understanding about the guardians recent acquisition of land adjoining the hospital. This land includes be- tween 100 or POO feet on either side of the hospital, running back perhaps an eighth mile into the "bush" behind the building.
 The strip on. one side was ex- propriated from the Dionne farm, and that on the other was bought from the neighbor, Alex Legros. There being no road behind the hospital, this will give us complete privacy for the playground space that will soon be needed.
 Further, the land includes a jut- ting pile of rock which overhung the hospital on one side, and which

 Many people have written and asked that they be sent stones from the hospital yard to use as charms. Maybe It Was a Charm"
 Now of course I don't put any faith in charms myself, but the fact remains that several couples who carried away such stones the first year came back recently and showed me their first babies. Some of them said they had been child- less as long as 13 or 14 years.
 Whether it's just coincidence, or whether some psychological princi- pie explains 1t, or faith, or sugges- ton, don't pretend to know. Per- haps a change in food, thought, and the leading of a more normal life while touring the north country might have something to do with it. Anyway, such incidents have happened.

"Don't ltve within your means.
Don't liUe Uithin a safe, comfort
able budget of your time, energy,

Stantly to liUe beyond your means
for the sake of a fuller, finer life" :"

words were the only legacy my
brave father left me-but they
were enough. Always they have
been a challenge to my cowardice
and lazineSs; always they have
made living q richer and prouder
adventure. And I've yet to see
any life retain its Zest or meaning
that didn't ''go into debt"
I thought of those words yester-
day when I saw Mark Schimmel'S
drug store down on Christopher
Street. First time I met Mark he
was handing out toothpaSte and
as friendly a grin as ever 1ightened
q crowded New York counter. Some
day, he confided to me. he was
going to own q counter of his own.
That was Is months ago. Now
he does.
Ask Mark how he did it and
he'll tell you about that 2 per
cent discount. A $400 bill of goods
could he make it?. Make it in
time to get the 2 per cent cash
discount? He vowed he would.
MORE COLOR
So Mark came down to work
one hour, two, before his regular
time. Held the store open two,
three hours after closing time.
Gave up his tennis. Wore his old
clothes. Skimped on lunches. Cut
out weekend holidays. Stuck to
the job like a fiend.
Today Mark is thinner than he
was. Has some wrinkles he didn't
have before. But he paid that
bill got that discount and
owns his own store.
And owns more than the store.
Mark Schimmel put something
into himself far more precious
than he put in the bank: bought
something far more enduring than
anything on his shelves when he
went into debt-he bought char
