Coat Hanger Crisis

Another of the defense sacrifices that we face without undue concern is an ex- pected shortage of those twisted wire coat hangers. If all the wire coat hangers cluttering the closets of American homes could be collected, strengthened out, and laid end to end, it would be good idea.
 No doubt if the closet-cluttering wire work could be assembled and remelted into new steel it would be sufficient to build 489 tanks, 16 battleships, 25 cruisers and Swiss watch. Sacrifice? Well, we can take it!

RETAINS MERCY IS HIGHLY PRAISED AS MAN
 OF FRANCE"

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:--
 Many peopIe In this country have been led to believe that the Chris tian leader Henry Philippe Petain of France, the outstanding hero of France in World War No. 1 is just 8 puppet leader under Hitler dom- nation. Having been called to serve his country when he was 80 years of age, when he proved to be the one man that the people of France could trust, France once more chose as leader, a man of strength, cour- age and religion, who like our own George Washington, always turned to God and prayer when he was dis couraged, always seeking of God the wisdom and guidance which he has used so well.
 His recent action in preventing the execution of Paul Collette, for his attempted assassination of two prominent Frenchmen, is the height of Christian mercy and charity, un-

THE RABBIT IN THE GARAGE

Virginia Lee oDonnell in the Christian
 Science Monitor) As to why you-deet, half grown traveller Took refuge here Where the roar of sulky in-natured motor Broke cannon-lfke against your quivering ear Where oil droppings insulted your country nose, Where the rough concrete hattened your eyes And scraped the softness behind your grass-bred
 toes Where in an unequal race you lost am not wise Nor do pretend to rationalize Why your captor gently laid A broad hand along your little body That trembled so And considered himself amply paid For consequent depredations to his garden And let you go.
