ALWAYS KINDLY
''When he wanted people to
laugh out loud" said Mr.. Roose-
welt, "he used the methods Of
pure fun. And when he wanted
to make a point for the good Of
all mankind, he used the kind
of gentle irony that left no
scars behind it. That was an
accomplishment we'll worthy of
consideration by all Of U.S."
st doubt is there is among us
0 more useful citizen than the
one who holds the secret Of
banishing gloom, Of making
tears give way to laughter, OF
supplanting desolation and de-
Spair with hope and courage.
For hope and courage always go
with a light heart.

Japanese operators.

these nets and catch nothing" Carl
