Finding Good Ash
For Baseball Bats
Is Difficult TODAY

That baseball bat which YOU are
so proud of took a great deal of
trouble and labor to make. Before
1t ever thought of being bat, it was
part Of an ash tree and might have
grown in one of 20 different States.
Finding good straight grained ash
to make bats is a problem nowadays.
The best ash for making bats is
what is called second growth white
ash" This is the part OF the tree
which grows after a tree has first
been cut down. Second growth, is
tougher and straighter grained
than the virgin ash.
Logging the trees to lumber mill
after they are cut is the first thing
which must be done to make bats.
At the lumber mill the tree is
barked, sawed and cut into handy
lengths. Buyers from the sport
ing goods manufacturers inspect
this wood at the mills, buy up q lot
of it, and have it sent to their fac
tories.
The bat is then finished on, the
ends being smoothed up and trim
med. Next, it is oiled and waxed.
Then a coat of special sort OF
shellac is put on 1t and set on fire,
This gives the finished product the
nice, burnt, smooth finish.

II human being fell into tank

sink to the bottom. He would float!
If he could keep his balance, he
might wade across the mercury. In
any case. less than one-tenth of his
body would sink into the liquid

A Dangerous Bath"
Falling into mercury would not be
pleasant, however. 1t could cause
damage, perhaps death. Let no one
swallow this strange metal!
II an iron bar were dropped into
mercury, it would sink only about
halfway. A cubic foot of mercury
weighs about twice as much as a
cubic foot of iron.
Gold, on the other hand. would
sink to the bottom of a tank of
mercury Gold is heavier than
mercury, and about two and half
times as heavy as iron.
There is way to make small
amounts of mercury turn hard at
ordinary temperatures. If another
metal, piece of copper, for ex-
ample, is dipped into a bowl of
mercury, it will come out coated
with mercury, and you will not be

Greeks Knew Mercury.
Mercury is found in Spain, Russia.
Italy, Mexico and the United States.
The ancient Greeks knew about
it and obtained it from mines in
Spain 1900 years ago.
Mercury will boil when heated
to little more than 674 degrees F.
1t will freeze if the temperature
falls to 80 degrees below zero.
When dropped into jar of liquid
air mercury will freeze rapidly. A
block Of frozen mercury, fastened
to handle, has been used to drive
a nail into wood.
The ancient Romans named their
messenger god Mercury The
messengergo was supposed to
move in a hurry.
Mercury is also the name OF
planet. This planet is the closest
to the sun OF any in our, solar
system. 1t is not much larger than
the moon. 1t rushes around the
sun at terrific speed, faster than
any other planet.

Powell Junior High.
I climbed one morn to the top OF
hill,
And stood there enchanted and very
still;
I felt as though I could reach the
sky,
And catch the clouds as they
drifted by.
Alone with God, I knelt to pray,
To ask him for a better day.
When all this turmoil, killing and
war
And hate and greed would be no
more.
When peace would reign again
supreme,
And the war would pass like an
ugly dream.
Thus ending my prayer, I arose
from the ground
And stood there waiting without a
sound.
And as the sun set in the skies,
I felt tears yelling in my eyes.
I had never seen such beauty rare
And I knew that God had heard my
prayer.

Into the church that is His home,
And kneeling. search for piety
Mid maple, stone and majesty.
I'm vain I seek for ease and rest.
And though the quiet stone is blessed
With tranquil Immortality,
My God does not seem near to me
To me He is not wood and stone
Planned by some architect alone,
All cloistered round with symmetry
And dimly lighted imagery;
He is the light of sun on high,
OF vast ethereal. blowing sky,
And flecks of clouds across the bay
Beneath the sky III kneel and pray
This is Thy home, my church, Oh

Here on this vibrant, living sod
I'll walk, and gaze upon the SEA-
And lift my singing soul to Thee.

jackson. near Manassas, Va.
We each carried a blanket, bathing
suit, towel, Scout knife, fashlight
and thermos bottle. Besides this.
John carried a poncho, folding
frying pan, forks and spoons
bacon and eggs and matches. I had
sandwiches, cans of beans. tire-re-
pair kit, first-aid kit and road
map. We travelled on the main
highway. and although it was hot
day, there was big enough breeze
and few enough cars to make our
trip pleasant The hills were grad
ual and we pedaled steadily along
until, at O'Clock, we saw the lake.
We parked our bikes and sup
plies in a camping space on the
shore of the lake and took cool
ing dip before eating. We were
Yavenous and had big supper Of
eggs and bacon, beans, sandwiches
and milk.
That night, as we lay under the
stars on our blankets, we heard
folks from the cottages out in boats
on the lake There was no one
but us in the camping ground, SO
we felt alone, yet near people. Oc-
casionally cars swished past, crick-
cts chirped and frogs grumped,
oars splashed, the leaves in the
trees whispered to each other, and
then we fell asleep.
We felt little cramped in the
morning, but after swim, we're
ready for what was left of the
food. The bacon was little
burned and the eggs were like
leather, but they tasted great. We
thought we had taken enough food
for q week, but hadn't counted on
being so hungry. We picked some
berries for dessert and went to a
store down the road for some pop"
because I dropped my thermos and
broke it. and we were thirsty.
At about II am. we started for
home, and arrived in time for a
big chicken dinner. Gee, 1t tasted
good!
Our folks said we looked like
wild men from Borneo. as our
hair was matted, our bodies sun
burned, our clothes wrinkled, and
they said we looked dirty-after all
those swims! Anyway, we ought
to make good soldiers some day.

day
To watch sweet nature at it's play,
And suddenly I came upon
An old. discarded. rusty gun.
My heart stood still-made not a
My thoughts began to wander
round.
I thought of all the awful things
This gun did to harm natures

I raised my face up to the skies,
And through the leafy- tree bound
ties,
I thought of God in Paradise,
And twas to Him this pray'r did
rise.
Dear Lord, Savior of all mankind,
I, today an old gun did find
That to nature did so much harm
think of it now with alarm!
why must we kill these natures
pets?
Why can't they live without deep
frets
OF men who come to aim at breasts
OF feathered friends OF nature
blest?"
I heard no answer from the sky,
But the trees swayed-I heard them

You might tack one end of your

An extra large refrigerator crate
or a couple OF packing boxes could

could be tackled to the open side of

Victory Cadet Club
Helps Uncle Sam
In Many Ways

Ruth Barber and her friends are
keeping busy for Uncle Sam. From
Orlando, Fla, Ruth writes:
1T started at Christmas time,
when my mother was making all
kinds of goodies for our friends In
the Service. AS I was helping her
pack these boxes thought of the
many lonesome boys who might
not even get as much as Christmas
card from home, SO decided to do
something about it.
After the holidays were over and
I went back to school, I spoke to
some of my girl friends. They talked
to their friends, and soon we formed
a club called the Victory Cadet
Club We have ID members and two
mothers as sponsors. We meet each
Tuesday night at some members
house. where we write letters to all
the boys we know in the armed serv-
ices. We also send them books,
magazines and the home town
paper, and our own little paper
which we print.
Most of the girls have taken the
Red Cross f1rst-aid course, and have
done lot of Red Cross work, such
as knitting and sewing. Now we are
making a Friendship quilt, which
will be sent to some base hospital
when it is finished.
"One night each week we make
candy, cookies or cakes to send these
boys, who are told to share them
with their friends. We are making
scrapbooks of poems, jokes, etc, and
we are going to send them to the
convalescence room of some base
hospital.
Nor have we forgotten the boys
from the nearby Air Base. We in
vite a small group of these boys to a
social hour after our meetings, and
almost every Sunday some of the
girls invite two or three of these
boys out to their homes for the day.
We have also had several nice dances
for them. Some time ago we were
asked by the USO hostess to be
junior hostesses at the USO Club
each Friday night, and we all enjoy
this lot.
Each member buys as many War
Stamps each week as she can, and
our slogan is Keep 'em Smiling,
and They'll Keep em Flying" Con-
sidering that we are all high school
and junior college girls, don't you
thing we are doing quite lot for the
morale of our boys? We only wish
that we could do more"

Jacky got his book he wanted to
know If Bobby's foreign stamps
would fit it. Mother told him no,
that he was lending his money to
Uncle Sam to help buy such things
as airplanes, tanks, guns and am
munition. She also explained that
the postage stamps were not worth
SO much as the War stamps.
Every time Jacky got a penny he
saved it toward another War stamp.
Then he went to meet the postman,
and the next day he received an
envelope containing his new stamp.
Sometimes he became a little i'm
patient and walked out to the mail
box to await the post man. Now that
We have moved, however, he goes to
window at the post ONCE in Sandy
Spring and buys his stamps. He Is

he earned by selling newspapers and
