With increasing frequency we are
finding households all the members
of which are hobby-minded The
content and peace of mind accruing
to one whose spare time Is happily
occupied must make the advan-
tages of an avocation apparent to
all members of family.
The home of Clifton w. Royston,
1929 w place NV, is full of hobby
lists. Mrs. Royston has been in
trigued by buttons all her life. Her
interest was first aroused by her
mothers button container. THE
Button Family" 1t was a bag, the
four sides of which were decorated
by mother, father and button twins,
all fully worked out in buttons.
After her marriage Mrs. Royston
accumulated buttons in the natural
course of events. When she decided
that her young daughter should
nave hobby, buttons we're her first
thought.
Mother, and daughter now 9 years
old, seem to share the buttons, most
of which originated in the family
button box. Naturally included are
such as the ones on which Mrs.
Royston cut her teeth and one from
her fathers sweater. There are
many pleasant recollections bound
up in such a collection.

The latest bulletins on Dogs for
Defense, Inc, and the work they are
doing in recruiting dogs for the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps may
be obtained from Dogs for Defense
Inc, % East Sixtieth street, New
York City. Inquiries about this i'm
portant war work are coming in as
briskly as ever. Dogs are being VOL
unteered at a satisfactory rate and
there is little doubt that the quota
of $4,000 dogs for war work within
the year will be met. Dogs must be
at least 18 inches at the shoulder
and weigh at least SO pounds.
While few chicken-hearted dog
owners and fanciers have already run
for cover and given up their dogs
and their breeding, the general con-
sensus is that there will be no need
for drastic curtailment of dog own
ership. Registration statistics from
the American Kennel Club show a
really surprising increase in the
number of dogs and puppies regis
tered. Last year established an all
time high for registrations which
this year will see bettered by many
thousands. Cookers are still way
out front and seem destined to con-
tinue that way. In this area, it
seems that for every dog given up
by a private individual either to
Dogs for Defense, because of fear
of meat shortage, or because of
moving, five or six, generally smaller
dogs, are sold by local kennels.
Gasoline rationing is not affecting
dog show entries as much as was
predicted. The recent Westchester
Kennel Club show at Rye, N. Y.
had the largest entry of its long
existence, we'll over thousand dogs.
The coming OK Ridge Kennel Club
show at Darien, Conn, is also expect
ing record entry on September 19.

Perhaps the prize collection of the
family belongs to Clifton, jr. Al
though only 7, he has a, large and
varied accumulation of book match
covers and complete match books.
Even Miss Harriet Morgan, a
friend of Mrs. Royston, who is a
member of the household, Is hob
byist. First to catch the eye in her
room is her collection of miniature
and small pitchers. This collection
was started in 1889 when friend
bought the first one in Alexandria,
Va. With her interest in the sub
ject thus aroused, Miss Morgan
began looking for other items.
Prizes among her collection are two
pitchers which once belonged to her
great-grandmother. These she was
so fortunate as to be able to obtain
from two aunts who had saved them
merely because they had been in
the family so long. Others are
from many States and countries,
collected by Miss Morgan and her
friends.
Not seen at first glance, but rank
ing high In Miss Morgan's interests
are American poetry, good books
and good music. She has collec-
ton of oft-played recordings and
well-read books. She also attends
many of the concerts held here.
Now we come to Mr.. Royston. sr.

self this winter he may be able to
realize his ambition and build a
boat to sail next summer. And then
of course he hopes his son will also
take a hand in this hobby, which is
an excellent one for father-and-son

So it may well be that the best
way to find an interest in a hobby
is to expose yourself to a group OF
lobbyists.

The Belgian Information Center,

says: THE Belgian Congo is the
first country to have adopted the
v for Victory sign on her
postage stamps. This is all the
more fitting as it was a Belgian,
Victor de Laveleye, former minister
of justice, who invented the sign
or slogan and introduced it over the
Belgian section of the British
Broadcasting Co.
IN. de Laveleye tells as follows
the story of how he came to hit
on the V for Victory: In Janu-
airy, 1941, I was sitting in a hotel
in London with two friends. An
air raid was in progress and the
huge explosive bombs were falling
in such rapid succession that the
earth shook constantly. Anti-air-
craft guns were firing for all they
were worth and the whole city was
lit up by blazing houses.
my friends and myself had met
to think of a rallying sign for the
Allies and especially for the people
in the occupied territory. A fact
struck me: the letter V was the
initial letter of the English Victory
the French 'Victoire' and the Flem-
ish 'Vrijheid,' meaning freedom.
The three of us agreed that the V
would be good rallying sign and
1 made the suggestion over the
BIC in January, 1941. 1t soon was
to be widely adopted and the move
ment spread like wildfire through
out the occupied territories"
