Take 1t Easy When
You're Swimming

Take is easy" is a good slogan
for all swimmers to adopt. Experts
in the field of life-saving and swim
ming tell us that many accidents
which occur in the water could
easily be avoided if the swimmer
would only take it easy and keep
from becoming panic-stricken
If you take it easy, you will ma
turally be cautious. You won't leap
headlong into the water before you
know how deep it is. You will
never land on some unsuspecting
swimmer if you take a look before
you jump. You won't strike out
strongly for some distant point
without being sure you can make
it and that another good swimmer
is accompanying you You may
find yourself all worn out and in
serious trouble before you get there
Even accidents caused by cramps
or an undertoW can often be
weathered safely if the swimmer
remains cool and collected and
doesn't become panic stricken.
Learn what to do in case of an
emergency first, and then take it
easy and remember what you
learned when you get into trouble.

America for Me
Prize Contribution.
Nv PHYLLIS FISHBEIN, 10

Truesdell School.
I'd like to 90 to cities far,
To Venice or to Rome,
But when I'd return, I'm sure I'd
say
There is no place like home.
For cities very far away
Are beautiful to see,
But as for me I'll now repeat,
America for me.
Her flag is of three colors fair,
The red. the white and blue.
And when it waves it seems to say
The loyal and the true.
Gods gift is liberty to this land
This land of the brave and free
And that is why I'll forever say
America for me.

Blessings That Go
With the Stars
And Stripes
Prize Contribution.
By JUNE SICKLES,


American children hardly realize
the true value of their flag and all it
stands for until war comes and with
1t the danger that we may become
Involved.
Try to imagine yourself, day in
and day out, walking the roads of a
war-torn nation. Perhaps your
home has just been destroyed, per-
haps some of your family have been
killed in an air raid, or your father
of brother on the battlefield. These
are among the tragedies you would
see and live if you were in the war
zone.
Instead, you live in the United
States of America, under the Stars
and Stripes, in a land where every
one is free. So long as our Nation
is not conquered and foreign flag
placed over us, we always can count
on freedom of speech, freedom of
religion and freedom of the press.
You are not ruled by dictator
who is hungry for power. You are
governed by the democratic system
and by a President who is striving
only to make America better place
to live in.

Traveller in Desert
Can Get Water Out
Of a Cactus Plant

The cactus plant is the fountain
OF the desert. When traveller S
water supply has become exhausted,
he can obtain water by supporting
cactus trunk on stones, building
a fire at either end and making a
hole in the middle. The effect of
the heat is to draw the water out
of the hole
Another way to procure water is
to cut of the top of a barrel cactus,
pound up the plup and squeeze it.
The water is rather salty and bitter
but is clear and palatable.
Cactus plants are easily identified
as shrubs, with juicy stems bearing
small, scale like leaves and punches
Of sharp spines. They vary in size
from plants about 3 to 4 inches in
height to trees 60 feet tall
The plants are widely distributed
in European countries, and with the
exception of a single species all are
natives of America. Here they grow
in the hot. dry sections of the
country. particularly in southwest
ern United States and Northern
Mexico.
The ''mescal button" or "payote'
cactus is strong stimulant and can
temporarily quiet all hunger, thirst
or fatigue pangs. The Mexican In
dians use this cactus for medicinal
and religious purposes.
The Indians use the juice of a
certain species for healing cracks
in their feet and for other medi-
cinal purposes when on long jour-
neys
The cactus flowers are usually
large and vary in color from white
yellow or orange to rose red, deep
red or purple. The fruit is lasting
and in many cases is charmingly
colored

haven't been stung much lately. Oc-

I'm working with them, and they
also sting me sometimes above my
gloves"
Toms hobby should turn into a
profitable enterprise before the end
of this summer. He is figuring on
obtaining about 100 pounds of hon.
ey, adding up the amounts produced
in each compartment of the four
hives. He expects to sell it at 25
cents pound to the neighbors and
to small grocery stores.
when my father kept a hive" "
ne said, several of the large chain
stores bought honey from him, but
I doubt if I'll have such luck" He
plans to sell it in the comb without
straining it.
Last summer a friend thinned
out his hive and gave Tom three
racks of bees, which gave him his
start in the business. Separating
the bees keeps them from swarm
ing" Tom explained.
Bees multiply very rapidly and
Toms hives now contain approXi-
mately $4,000 Every hour the
queen bee lays twice her own weight
in eggs.
1t is only during the coldest part
of the winter that Tom finds it
necessary to feed the bees. He
gives them sugar and water in So
luton.
Tom is now building a glassed-
In hive that will permit visitors to
observe the inner workings of the
hive. He also plans to carry the
new hive to school, where his old
exhibition hive attracted great in
terest last fall. The old hive WASH t
constructed securely, and the bot
tom fell out when Toms biology
teacher attempted to move it. No
one was stung, thanks to several
conveniently open windows.
Tom has several pets including
some crows and pigeons
