HIS MOST CHEERFUL ONE

Churchill's speech was the most
cheerful since he became prime
minister, although he warned of
great sacrifices to come.
The news behind the war front
topped that of actual military
action.
The behind-the-front news was
growing budget of reports of
unrest and outright uprisings
against Nazi control Of Europe.
Crisis center of the moment was
Czechoslovakia where the Ger
mans, after minimizing reports OF
incidents, finally admitted that "a
Czechs were shot Monday The
number included three retired
generals.
Moscow reported that Czech
sabotage was growing constantly
and that the great Skods arms
works had been closed down thres
days. Numerous reports were

Attitude of the American Fede-

Brinkerhoff said, is based upon an
international ruling made 30 years
ago when welding was in the pio-
neer stage, and 1t was held that
welding equipment and its use was
exactly the same as that of a
hammer or wrench.
Despite developments of the
trade and its tools, welders
aren't recognized as a group;

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Welcome and Mrs. Robin were
quite heartbroken over the loss Of
their eggs which had been stolen by
Blacky the Grow. All their feath-
cred neighbors were so excited and
angry as they gathered around try
ing to comfort the Robins that 1t
was some time before their indig-
nation meeting broke up and they
returned to their own homes and
duties. Almost at once there was
another cry of distress. Mr.. and
Mrs. Chebec had been robbed of
their eggs While they had been
attending the indignation meeting
at the home of the Robins thief
had taken the chance to steal their
eggs and get away.
OF course, right away all the birds
hurried over to sympathize with the
Chebecs and to repeat against the
unknown thief all the threats they
had made against Blacky the Crow
They knew that this time it couldn't
have been Blacky because they had
heard Blacky cawing over on the
edge of the Green Forest. In the
midst of the excited discussion as
to who the thief might have been,
Weaver the Orchard Oriole spied
blue and white feather on the
ground just below Chebec's nest.
1T was Sammy Jay! There is no
doubt about it, it was Sammy Jay!"
he cried.
At the sight of that telltale feath-
er all the birds knew that Weaver
was right, and, led by Scrapper the
Kingbird, they began noisy search
OF the Old orchard for the sly rob-
ber. But Sammy wasn't to be found
and they soon gave up the search,
none daring to stay longer away
from his own home lest something
dreadful might happen there. We'll
come and Mrs. Robin continued to
cry mournfully, but little Mr.. and
Mrs. Chebec bore their trouble al
most silently.
There is one thing about it." said
Mr.. Chebec to his sorrowful little
wife, that egg Sally Sly the Cow
bird laid in our nest went with the
rest, and we won't have to raise
that bothersome orphan"
That's true" said she. There is
no use crying over what can't be
helped. 1t is waste of time. Come
on, Chebec, let's look for a place for
another nest. Next time I won't
leave the eggs unmatched for a
minute"
Meanwhile Jenny Wren's tongue
was fairly flying as she chartered
to Peter Rabbit, who had come up
in the midst of the excitement and,
of course, had to know all about it.
"Blacky the Grow has a heart as
black as his coat, and his cousin
Sammy Jay isn't much better" de-
clared Jenny. They belong to a
family of robbers"
