PARADOX

AS wander long the way,
I meet host of folks each day,
Who kindly ask me, "Whatcha say?"
With all the words that dwell in me,
I feel that talks compellin' me,
But next know-theyre tellin' me!
It seems I never have look in,
Always destined for rookin',
When someone says, whats cookin'?"
A guy like that is romancer,
But just selfish quiz-advancer,
His question scarcely leads his answer.
There's the bird who's wont to below,
"Howdy, what's the good word fellow?"
Then says, "The stuff is here and mellow!"
All, why can't he keep on his shirt,
1t puzzles me how he can blurt
So little good-and so much dirt!
How do loathe the blokes who know
That Joseph's not the name tow,
But always say, "Whatcha know, Joe?"
Among such ginks I've met but few,
Who sought the knowledge avenue,
Nones ever cared just what knew!
"Pal how's tricks ?"-"Say, what's new"
"What's your story ?"-"How's things by you?"
"Tell me somethin'!"-'Is it really true?"
Those friendly queries leave me numb,
They always mean I must become
Never deaf-but ever dumb!

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

Danny Meadow Mouse is timid.

as anybody can make a mistake
sometimes, so can everybody. Still,
in this case it is quite likely that
everybody is right. Danny Meadow
Mouse is timid. Ask Peter Rabbit.
Ask Sammy Jay. Ask Striped
Cipmunk. They will all tell you the
same thing. Sammy Jay might even
tell you that Danny is afraid of
his own shadow, or that he tries
to run away from his own tail. OF
course, this isn't true. Sammy Jay
likes to say mean things. It isn't

our wild apples. They have tried
especially hard toward domesti-

edges of woodlands and meadows.
Here 1t is, together with several of
its own clan, beautiful sight the
year round.
A low bushy tree with thorny
angular twigs. never reaching more
than 30 feet high, it is easily recog-
nized. The reddish brown scaly
bark and the small blunt, bright red
buds of winter give the tree a
lively expression, and in the spring
the silver sheen of the twigs covered
with the young foliage is a sign Of
warmer days. Soon the tree will
turn a lovely rose color as the
bursting buds show clearly against
the green background. Then come
the wide-open perfect white-to-
pinkish blossoms, spicy and fragrant.
The message of this perfume is
soon answered by the early flying
bees, and the air is laden with the
never-to-be-forgotten fragrance OF
the wild crab apple.
Through the summer, the small
yellow fruit CLEANS against the
deep green of the foliage, and by
September the harvest will be ready
for those who appreciate the spicy
flavor OF this fruit.

Aid and Comfort

Akron: When the President speaks
Of suppressing news that might give

why does he use the word COM

Answer-Comfort is from the
Latin confortare. "to strengthen
much" The original meaning of
comfort was to make strong; ito as
sist, help or fortify"
Aid and comfort" though re-
dundant, is an ancient legal phrase.
We find it in the United States law
against treason: Treason against
the United States shall consist only
in levying war against them the
States, or adhering to their enc
mics, giving them aid and COM

in both hands. West continued with
the four of hearts. dummy winning
with the king. At this point declarer
made the key play of leading the
deuce of clubs from the dummy.
Before we go into what happened,
let's see why South made the play.
He could count four top tricks in
the major suits and four diamond
tricks. He. therefore, needed club
trick to make his contract If West
had both top clubs, he would surely
bring in the hearts; and then South
would have to hope that the hearts
were "A. If East had both top
clubs, there was no danger.
But if the top clubs were split, as
was probably the case, it was vital
to get East to duck the first club
and let West win it. That would
remove his only entry to the long
hearts. If South had led clubs from
his own hand, it would have been
easy for East to win the first club
and return his last heart; and West
would still have the club ace as entry
to his hearts
AS it happened, East played low

way to defeat the contract Of
