Der Of the family. Weeds in this
class receive scant attention, yet
they are very lovely when in bios
som and in fruit. Perhaps we really
know them better In the autumn,
when their bright berries call our
attention to them. There is a range
OF colors that tells you how mature
the fruit Is. First they are green,
then yellow and orange, finally
crimson.
The birds love them, and SO if
you pluck several sprays for your
winter bouquet, be sure to leave
some for them. And also be sure
that, you do not sample the allur-

that 1t Is deadly poison. as the poor

Gateway Citizens
Ask Change in
Bus Route
Association Seeks
To Promote Demands
For Cross-Town Aid

A rerouted bus service to give
cross-town connections will be
fought for by the National Gate
way Citizens Association, formerly
the Bladensburg Road Citizens AS
sociation, 1t was decided last night
at a meeting at the Church of
Christ, Twenty-eighth and Douglas
streets NE.
The association will write to
neighboring communities and asso-
Citations to start a petition which
will be sent to the Capital Transit
Co. The proposal will be that some
buses run from Bladensburg road to
Florida avenue via New York avenue
Central avenue from Bladensburg
road to Rhode Island avenue should
be called Central street because
there are two other avenues of that
name in the Northeast vicinity
members decided. The Rhode Island
Avenue Citizens Association will be
sent a petition to sign, since the
thoroughfare is mainly in its terri
tory.
Whistles of engines coming out on
the main track from Langdon Sta
ton have caused unnecessary noise,
the members agreed. The matter
will be brought to the attention OF
William P. Thomas, association pres
ident, who was absent. Henry L
Sweeney, presiding vice president,
called the motion passed.
Everett Evans was elected dele
gate to the Federation of Citizens
Association in place of Lulyn M.
Green, who withdrew from the posi-
ton.
The work and needs of the Red
Cross were discussed by William F..
Baker, a volunteer at the Roll Call

Jesus took when He stood before the
graves of Lazarus. Here was Mary
and Martha weeping upon His Shout
ders, half hoping in a miracle, half
doubling it's possibility. Here was a
throng of scoffers surrounding Him
ready to laugh Him to scorn should He
fail.
Jesus was face to face with the SUI
preme test of His ministry. He had
met Satan in the wilderness and driv-
en- him off. He had met human ILL
ness and had cured it. He had met
the fury of wind and wave and COM
manded them into calm. But now He
stood before impossibility-to bring
a man four days dead, back to life.
Jesus faced his impossibility with
a prayer of gratitude. Father, I
thank thee that Thou heardest me-"
Perhaps you too are facing today
what seems to you to be an impossi-
bility. The situation that you are in
may seem to you as though some one
had built stone wall directly across
your path, a wall too high to climb.
Are you standing before this wall of
discouraging impossibility with a
downcast spirit; with sense of being
conquered, with the temptation to
give up the struggle, with all the en-
enlargement, hope, and sustaining
power of your religion seemingly
gone?
Why not take such q stand as did
Jesus before the grave of Lazarus!
Dare to express gratitude! There is
no situation in which we can find
nothing to be grateful about.
Be grateful that there is something
big that challenges you, arousing you
to worthwhile effort. Be grateful
that you have God who is greater
than any evil that can attack you. Be
greateful that His Grace is sufficient.
Be grateful that in such situations is
born that inspiring faith that carries
one through to victory. Be grateful
to God for the victory that He is
about to give you.
Gratitude strengthens your position.
It transforms a defensive attitude into
one of attact.

INTRODUCING
new FIRESTONE
CHAMPION TIRE

A definite change of trend in the
seasonal tire buying habits Of the
motoring public has been in marked
evidence since the introduction of the
new Firestone Champion tire q few
weeks ago, according to Clinton K.
Duncan, manager of the local Fire
stone Auto Supply & Service Store
It Pocomoke.
"Following the pattern of buying
habits in the automotive market in
general" says Mr.. Duncan, "car own
ers as a group had heretofore been
inclined to defer the purchase OF new
tires until the advent of the spring
and summer motoring season, just az
. prospective new car buyer was ac-
eustomed to worry along through the
winter season with his old, WORKOUT
ear.
sMore recently the car owner has
learned the distinct advantage of en-
toying the use of a new car In the
winter when motoring security is at
n premium. That the need of new
tires for winter operation is of even
greater Importance is proved by the
fact that hundreds of motorists have
been replacing their old WORKOUT tires
with the new Firestone Champion tire
since it was introduced at the begin
ming of winter.
:. Motorists are coming to realize
that new tires represent the best SAT-
ETY. insurance they can take out as
protection against the dangers OF wet
and icy streets in winter. They also
recognize the fact that tread wear in
winter driving is practically negli-
gible. Thus, they enter the summer
season with tires that are essentially
new, insofar as tread wear and mil
cage are concerned.

ience and laboratory research, in adj

to cooperate. As is pointed out by Dwight F.
Bracken, Fordham University's Director of
Placement Service, team play is Just as vital
to success in business as it is to success on the
football field.
Mr.. Bracken's advice is. Develop the our

ize that what hurts it, hurts you, and vice
versa. Furthermore. study the men above you
and, insofar as possible, prepare yourself to
handle some of their work as we'll as your own.

crate in its nevertheless unmistak-
ably favorable comment. The demo-
cratic press has said, frankly but not
frantically, that il greatly likes him.
Nazi publications warned against him
in advance and have denounced him
freely subsequently,, as anti-Hitler-
istic They term him freely political
pope-meaning anti-tOtalitarian.
Italian newspapers have been more
discreet Mussolini actually sent good
wishes to the Vatican upon the new
pope's election. Not that they were
warmly expressed; everybody is
aware that the Vatican result was
-Mussolini, but there are too
many Italian Catholics to be anita
gonized safely.
Japan doesn't signify.
Neither does Russia-Which is
anti-clerical in every direction.
But Spain signifies. The war there
has been largely between Catholics
and anti-Catholics. The Catholics
have won. Italy and Germany backed
them. Now Italy and Germany want
to gobble the country-as a Catholic
country. Yet the new pope seems
likely to raise the question:
"Are Germany and Italy truly
Catholic countfies?"
If not, why should Germany and
Italy dominate Spain, which appar-
emily is Catholic, although they (es-
pecially Germany are not Catholic?
CathOlic-But Democratic.
The German press terms the pope
bourgoies-meaning democratic in
the same sense that this country is
democratic. 1t says SO in plain Ian
guage. It's the fuehrer's estimate,
voiced by his accredited publicists.
They ought to know.
The prospects are that Plus XII

out of international politics.
