Navy Day, this year, has for
the people of the United States
significance unparalleled in the
annals of our history" Lieut.. c.
E. Barton, Personnel Officer of

with clear determination and
purpose, to restore the light of
freedom to a darkened world and
protect our shores and liberties
from attack"
Concluding his interesting adj
dress, Lieut.. Barton told the

NO DATE SET FOR
PIERCE HEARING

A date has not been set for the
hearing of Harry o. Pierce, 49,
year-old sailor, alleged attacker
of Evelio lucky Vargas, al
though it will be held during the
next few days. The delay is
caused by the condition of young
Vargas, who, according to re-
port from his home today, has
not improved as we'll as hoped.
1t was stated Thursday by
Louis Harris, attorney engaged
by Pierce, that his defense will
be based on the "unwritten
law. Mr.. Harris promised SEN
Sational testimony when the 19-
year-old wife of the sailor takes
the stand at the hearing.
The trouble that led to the at
tack on Vargas concerned an al
legged affair between the young
woman and the former employe
of a Duval street drugstore.

the same hobby, and we have been
following it together ever since.
Avery Faulkner, Is, and Spencer
Gordon, II, are my fellow lobbyists
They also are fellow students at st.
Adams School. Avery has been a
model railroad fan since he was 8,
and Spencer since he was 8.
When the three of us learned We
shared the same hobby, our interest
was greatly stimulated. We began
saving for better equipment, and
tried to rival one another's layouts.
Last year, we decided to work to-
gether on an exhibit for the st.
Adams hobby show. We pooled
resources to produce our first really
elaborate layout. And, as a result,
we were asked to exhibit again this
year. 'ea-s'~

How to Make a Special
Card for Mothers Dav

On the second rectangle which you
paste on the lower part, draw a pic
ture of a landscape or something
suitable, or cut one from a maga-
zine II you can find the proper illus
tration and size. If you draw it
yourself, color lightly, preferably
with colored pencils, rather than
crayons.
Now raise the part you turned
down, and write: ITO Mother, from
(your name)." Then write the date.
Easy cards may be made by fold
ing a piece of paper 4 inches by 8
inches in half. Clip of the upper
right-hand corner of the top piece
as you hold the fold in your left
hand. Now outline a border around
the top piece, using a bright crayon.
Paste a crepe paper rose in the
corner, and a bright red crepe pa
per or cloth ribbon on the cover.
Open the card, and write a little
verse inside. Print or write
Mothers Day" on the cover. and
you will have simple card Mother
will like.
