Santa Claus Will Be Guest Of the zGuidite Club
II U BEHIND


Someone win take your place when
yos are gone
Will ome5a as you to face the morn
ing mail. .
Hear the small talk and bear the
burden on,
And in her care the venture will
not fail.
You may be brave and wise and
quick and strong.
You may command with courage
and with grace,
But one shall come when you have
passed along,
And serve with equal splendor in
your place.
Ard she may see what you have
never seen,
May find new ways your feet have
never trod.
And she may go where you have
never been,
For, after all, the greatest of US
plod.
In all the throng you may not see
Her face,
Secure you seem and all your pros
poets fair,
But one there is who waits to take
your place,
Against your passing. Life has her
there.

 "ThoSe who have come to Con- neetieut from foreign shores", 9on- ator Lonorgan said, "haVe brought with them Q knowledge of political and economic disturbances In other parts of the world, which makes them conscious of Government. They naturally want to participate in Government, and soon become attentive to activities in Washing- ton. For that reason, many of them aro better informed, and are moro conscious of the economic and social needs of today than tho average cltiEon."
