WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. - The Weather Bureau computes that it is better able by S7O0,OO0 to help aviation get through the winter with fewer accidents than last winter. That figure is the amount Congress voted last year to help out.

more and more as the way to happi-

When on that well-knOwn occasion,
the Master, girding himself with

feet, he set a seal of spirituality on
service which it can never lose. The
first thought of mortal mind under
like circumstances would be one of
superiority to such an action. Yet
but title study shows how there SIM
ply could not be anything in mortal
thought superior to the spiritual
qualities which man-as Christ Je-
sus understood him-forever reflects
Of our mortal selves we do nothing.
Mans true being is in God, and Is
manifested in the reflection of the
Godlike qualities of love, kindness,

or servant, one is endeavoring to

The history of many Bible charac-
ters provides interesting illustrations
of the inseparability of the spiritual
qualities of service and dominion. OF
Moses we read plumbers 12:3).
"Now the man Moses was very meek,
above all the men which were upon
the face of the earth" Yet, who was
more active or more useful in true
service? And who, in the Old Testa-
ment, made a better demonstration
in leading, clothing, and feeding
Gods people than he? Moses served
and proved his dominion, because he
discerned that true power lies in the

reflection OF spiritual qualities, In
cluding humility, which perceives
activity to be in divine Principle
alone. Did not the Way-shower HIM
self ask men to learn of him because
he was meek and lowly? And did he
not specifically promise that service,
as he served, would bring rest and
dominion? Because he knew no self
hood apart from God, his service
consisted of the continual reflection
of spiritual being, full, active, un-
ceasing, ideal!
In Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures (p. u Mary Baker
Eddy writes, Prayer, watching, and
working, combined with self-immola-
tion, are Gods gracious means for
accomplishing whatever has been sue
cessfully done for the Contamination
and health of mankind" So clear to
her was the revelation of the allness
of Spirit, and of man as Gods spir-
itual expression, that she was led to
use the term "self-immolation" to
indicate the path which leads through
service to dominion.
Our goal is to fulfill the command
of the Way-shower in preaching the
gospel, casting out demons, cleansing
leprous thought. and doing today the
wonderful things he accomplished.
Such may be achieved only through

the various activities which were car
ried on. When preparing for the Jun

chairman Of the Refreshment Commit

HALL or FAME (Faculty)

This week finds our most capable
foreign language teacher, Miss Bun
dick, taking her place in the Hall Of
Fame. Upon completing grammar
school and high school at Stockton,
Maryland, Miss Bundick entered
Goucher College in Baltimore. There
she majored in language and minored
in science. Putting her knowledge
to use, she taught at Berlin High
School for a short time and then came
to Pocomoke. After teaching for one
year, she went to Philadelphia in the
fall, where she worked as compari-
son shopper in a department store.
She was very fond of this work and
admits, woman-like, that she would
rather shop than eat.
Furthering her education, she took
Latin courses at the University of
Pennsylvania the following summer,
attended summer schools at Duke
University to study chemistry, then
attended Duke winter school last year
for the second semester.
We often hear people say that one
cannot stay away from good place
very long. This must be the case of
Miss Bundick because she's back at
P. H. S. again-to stay, we hope.
Miss Bundick is very frank. This
fact is proved by several statements
she made. Among them was her. as
sertion that she thinks teaching would
be fine if teachers could only take
a year off when they get tired of it.
