"Boletophela Luminosa", though he may not know
 it. is one of New Zeaand chief tourist attractions For sBoletophela" to abbreviate his scientific name, is gow-worm one of an unusual species carnverous by nature and is the denizen of the Gow-Worm Grotto for there are actually myrads of them there by thousands of visitors annually Staactites and stalagmtes form impressive display in the caves proper but the Grotto with it's Subterranean stream which visitors may embark in small boats, remains the crowning glory. The dim greenish-blue light from the glow-worms on the ceiling provides mystic atmosphere as tourists slip through the three chambers watching them in action All over the ceiling in filmy webs, the clustered while svery sensitive threads are suspended, sticky and moisturebeaded to catch moths and midgets that flutter round the victim caught on the thread is immediately hauled up by the glow-worm and devoured. "Boletophea Luminosa" is indeed drawing card, for this unique creature is to be found nowhere else.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORY
BY THE MAN IN THE TowET

Why yes now do recall,
 Though it must have been preWar, We met at concert benefit
 Your gown-(but hope l don't pore)' You were quite young then,
 I recall your skirts were long, You wore your hair in fringy bang And oh yes, you sang song How quickly the years go by,
 You look younger instead of older, People and things have changed so much, This age-well it's just trlfie oolder. We had quite time that night, Was it the onestep that we danced! We seemed to bob about quite little, So different, but we definitely pranced. It's all coming back to me now, Bobbed hair was just getting start, We didn't know Colbert, Bergen or Taylor, That season we saw Peg O My Heart. Yes, I'm recalling it better and better, Your funny hair, the hobble skirts you Wore' That period had become just memory Let's truck-and hope l didn't pore.

N Y A OF
CINCINNATI

A year ago, four boys were out OF
school, out Of work with no future
outlook. To enter the field of music
was their foremost ambition; to find
d job was their other. Singular!y
they were able to find small private
Jobs here and there. Finally they
applied for work on the National
Youth Administration and were soon
assigned to the Musical Project Of
the NYA. A quartet was formed and
the title Basin Street Boys was
adopted. Today they are radio per
formers with promising future.
These Negro boys: Oscar Penning-
ton, Winston Lee, William Sherman
and BENJAMIN Oden, forming the
quartet, were granted an addition at
WCPO d year ago through the ef-
forts Of the NYA Since then their
popularity and distinctive rhythm
| have So captiyated their listeners
| that they are now featured on an all
request program daily from 12:i5

allowed thrice weekly broadcast.

Two Young Lives
lNew Work TimesD

tNeW York IlmeS)
 Two young people one just out of high school one still student fall in love and, as the saving goes get into trouble It is an old story-as old, at least as the institution of marriage The boy and girl are desperate They see their predicament as a trap from which there is escape They have no money. They dare not tell their parents. They have read of suicide pacts. They make one writing joint letter which the girl pathetically signs with the boys last name added to her own. Some notion of motion picture drama through the beWildered young minds The boy buys himself a black tie and has his shoes neatly polished. Then he shoots and kills the girl Suddenly the Tristan and Isolde music stops. He cannot force his trembling finger to pull the trigger which will send bullet into his own heart But whatever the jury says the girl is dead and his own life ruined.
 One reads such story with the thought that one sees in it more human weakness than vcousness at work The law will take it's course is fitting
 But mind follows the story back to it's beginnings There was 6 time when these two young iives might easily have been salvaged There good in them to appeal to for thoroughly cynical youngsters would not have been driven to desperation by the plight in which they found themselves.
 Shall we blame that abstraction called Society? That too easy solution for Socetys shoulders broad and punishment and admonitions do not harm it. But such tragedies do emphasize the duties that are laid upon parents teachers pastors and all who come into confidential contact with the young. It is bewiloerine world even for adults and for boys and girls living in the confusion of glittering city in time when many standards have broken down it is doubly hard. When deep instinct has 10 fight with the moral code there should be. cannot help believing friendly aid than is ordinarily given The gap between the generations is wide but it be brdeed The instincts of youth can be guided toward happ.aess easily toward wretchedness and ruin
