Service to Builder Emphasized in Wards Display
Panel Use
Cited as
Exhibit

Have you ever wanted to panel
your library or dining room, but
thought the price would be pro-
hibitive?
Or perhaps there's an attic in
your house which might be walled
off into a games room, a study or
an extra bedroom.
Statesmen in the Montgomery
Ward booth at the Detroit Build
ers' Show are telling visitors of
their company's grained panel
board in mahogany, blond ma
hogany and walnut. for the more
expensive room paneling job Cat a
relatively inexpensive price,, and
of the three-ply Douglas fir panel
board for those who want a less
expensive installation.
And speaking of wall finishes,
the company also features tile
board at a fraction of the cost of
real tile. Its use is recommended
in kitchens and bathrooms. The
tileboard has a sleek, hand-rubbed
lacquer finish, is impervious to hot
water, chip proof and acid re-
sisting.
A swish of dusty cloth and
dirt and SCOT disappear, say COM

Rore Sight

lHE day may have seemed like any other
summer day But it was not In the middle
of my first cup of coffee on the porch, | saw
sight that made the china rattle in my hand
Nellie was coming up the narrow woods path
toward the cabin. Close at her heels followed
a tiny fawn on long wobbly legs Once it
faltered, and the doe stopped to lick the wee,
anxious face making low sound of comfort
The fawn was spotted. 1t was all eyes and
ears. AS fragile as thin Dresden china and
as beautiful as song.
The most amazing transformation had
come over our Nellie. All her indifference had
dropped away like a cast-off cloak. She was
as prideful as any other young mother dis
playing her first-bon child Billy deliberately
nosed into the center of the family group,
and stood in reflected glory. q think he was
prompted less by fatherly impulse than by
his natural fondness for being the center of
attention) OF the family group, only the
fawn was uncertain. 1t did not leap away but
it would not advance. We human beings
smelled to him like nothing that lived in the
woods.
After a while the three deer moved off
down the hill and Nellie, with backward
glance, invited us to follow. We stepped along

so innocently - my feeding warmed milk to
a pair of motherless fawns who were helpless
and hungry. During the years, my interest
has grown steadily until it is the most CON-
forting thing in every hectic week. Deer are
a perfect antidote for too much civilization,
they are so utterly unconcerned about roof
over their heads or the acquisition of prop
erty. Just to watch them makes life seem a
simple thing, and not the battle we make it.
Nellie is cautious and always waits out
side the cabin, but Billy walks unafraid
straight inside. There the buck boldly asks
for what he wants, with liquid brown eyes,
a very inquisitive nose and long ears that
keep up continual conversational waggling.
BY the time he finally licks my hand with
rough tongue, he has had four course meal
with handful of cigarettes for dessert
When l went outside to answer Billy's
mournful blats, he did not even trouble to
get up out of bed. He was almost hidden in

except at dawn it became vocal He for

He forgot the dignity that should go with
six-point antlers. In fact he forgot everything
but how much he longed for his missing doe,
Nellie. So he lifted up his beautiful head and
blatted like fawn.
The bleat woke me up. for it seemed to
come from directly under the open window
of the cabin. 1t did not sound in the least
frightened or sick. Only very sorry for Billy
- and would someone please come quickly
and do something about it, That meant me-
There is no need to tell me that l have

tired tongue came out to lick my hand gently
in apology. Then he stirred himself regret
fully, slowly rose to his four feet and stretched.
For an instant the rising sun touched his thin
red summer coat with ripping flame We
both turned to take long look at the land
scape.
June is the month the fawns are born. But
if that meant anything to Nellie, she certainly
kept her own council. Before she disappeared
she had looked the same slim, calm, reserved
lady as always. A perfectly poised gentle
woman who turned sphinxlike face toward
all impertinent questions. Her desertion left
