they hear faint Cabling overhead and
soon see in the distance the sharply de-
fined V of honkers on their way.
For months We in both country and
city have been hearing other sounds in the
sky. and when we looked up the wings
We saw were the wings of war. The
sound We sheard was the angry growl of
motors. These wings are armored wings
the wings of a warning world. We did
not often see the stars beyond. The
sound We heard is a disturbing sound.
In pleasant contrast is the Cabling of
the geese-wild birds which have been
turning south each autumn since the be-
ginning of time. II is reassuring
sound that begins family but gathers en-
phasis as the flock comes over our heads.
II is reminder of a world where the
wings are wings of fyeedom-a world
which we seem to have lost but which we
hope to regain.
We may have to acquire some of the
wisdom of the geese before we do it.

, Better Watch Out

Rubbers and overshoes are not "a
toned, but as the OPA we'll stresses. they
do constitute part of the nations war
time rubber supply, and they deserve the
best of care.
Because of their Importance to the
national health. effort will be made to
keep everybody in rubbers and galoshes.
Whether this can be done will depend upon
the public's cooperation. Don't let them
get lost, don't kick them around don't
wear them unless necessary, keep them
away from radiators, clean them, repair
breaks and cuts promptly.
That would be sensible at any time. 1t
