H. G. Wells, the famous English author, asked to
give the four greatest needs of the human race and here
those he selected Happiness, Health, Love- Money.
In this war-racked world happiness is what millions
upon millions want Nothing, except peace itself, is so
desired. The question s:-How get modicum OF
happiness when pick up the papers and read about lives
being blasted out? Well can, in times!
Ralph Waldo Emerson, American philosopher, told us
how rs years ago. The principle he laid down just as true
when he first proclaimed it:
Happiness is perfume you cannot pour on others
without getting few drops yourself
Superb 1t contains the very bedrock Of happiness
forget yourself; do things for others.

Center New York, had to him for help She
miserably unhappy She confessed that twice she

she had money splendid health and successful husband
of whom she was proud. Yet she unhappy DR.. Link
studied her case then almost made her think him
by telling her she go the East Side OF New York
and teach class of foreigners to speak English
Teach foreigners! The idea! She refused
But when he asked her for better, suggestion, she
could supply none. ''Then try mine he insisted.
She went with mistrust and resentment and could
hardly force herself to go through the first session The
next day little less difficult. Little by little she

herself of the adults in the class wanted to visit his

Children's Book week this year
has a greater than ever incentive
behind it. For with this country
at war one of the few possible es-
capes for children, which is at
the same time a beneficial one, is
through books. You've probably
read a great deal in the last few
years about escape literature" or
plays or movies or whatnot. And
frequently this manner Of finding
relief from the difficult real world
through the imagination was con-
demned, especially for children. 1t
was said that children must be en-
coura ged to face reality.
Now up to certain point this is
all true. Any pleasurable activity
if carried to excess can become a
means of deadening the mind to
lacks and failures and other prob
lens which should be faced and
something constructive done about
them.
But human beings wouldn't have
been given magination, wouldn't be
capable of fantasy if they were
meant to spend every moment fac
ing facts or being diligent like the
tabled ant. This is certainly true
of childhood when it is important
that we store up in our minds the
most varied delights against the
day when we shall be adult and
our jobs will have first claim on
our time and thoughts. Did you
ever stop to realize how dull the
days might be if you had no happy
childhood memories to pop up sud-
denly like unexpected raisins in a
cookie? Adding up household ac-
counts, which is usually irksome,
brought me a chuckle the other
day when l suddenly remembered
