1t is only in books and dreams
that vacation passes without rain.
But dismal days can be turned into
pleasurable ones. We remember
looking forward to them because
they we're the days when Mother
stopped her work to play the piano
while we all gathered around and
sang our favorite songs. Later, we
would put etXra boards into the din
ing room table and play Hearts,
Pig. Rummy, or Lotto.
Be prepared with a stack of story
books that you can read aloud.
Nothing brings such lasting joy to
a family as singing or reading to-
gether. There is something more
intimate and precious in this sort
of participation than in the play
ing of many formal games. Yet
games have their places, too, so do
not exclude them.
TREASURE HUNT
An indoor treasure hunt will take
the edge off possibly rainy day
gloom. If the children are very
young, do not actually hide the
clues" or the treasure" may never
be found. If the children are 10, IL
or older, they will like the adult
version given here They might even
want to invite their closest neigh
bors or some other mother and
father who are mentioning at home.

LUTHERAN SYNOD
MEETINGS START
World Built From Christ's
BIueprints' Urged By DR..
Samuel Trexler

A world Quilt from the blue
prints of Christ should be the aim
of every Christian, according to the
Rev. DR.. Samuel Trexler, in the
presidential sermon last night at
the opening of the fifteenth annual
convention of the United Lutheran
Synod of New York, which Is
meeting through Thursday at st.
Peters church, 54th street and Lex
ington avenue, New York City. DR..
Trexler spoke at the service OF
Holy Communion attended by dele
gates representing 48O pastors and
430 congregations in New York, New
England, and New jersey.
1--WE are an overburdended gen.
Grafton" President TreXler stated.
In America, from being favored
people that rolled about on air.
cushioned wheels we are reduced to
a few trips in gas-rationed cars, and
more and more, to the primitive
method of walking. Upon the whole
world has fallen the needs of carry
ing heavy burdens. No human be-
ing escapes from totalitarian war;
the most remote places find them
selves on the front line of battle.
And the end Is not yet.
"At the close of the War-and
there are pessimists who say 1t will
never end-men and women In res
ponsible positions will have
greater task even than fighting in
war. They must face up to creating
world of enduring justice, not
merely from idealistic motives but
to prevent a more destructive holo-
caust. In this the Christian must
make himself more vocal. If from
any part of mankind there is to
come the healing of the nations it
must come from those who call
themselves Christians. Every Chris
tian must be up and doing to
achieve world built from the blue
prints of Christ. If our religion in
times past has given us security, to-
day it must give us the incentive to
action. No such challenge has ever
before presented itself to the world
Is the Christian church, are we as
Christians, equal to the challenge?
Too long have we permitted mat
tiers of cosmic Importance to be-
come the footballs of professional
politicians. Unless more serious
minded people, unless Christ-ani-
mated people take hold and act on
their own responsibility, a darker
period is in store for us, Not that
the Church is to be responsible for
programs of action, but she is to
offer the inspiration for such pro-
grams"
Dr. TreXler, who is also head of
the Foreign Missions Board of the
United Lutheran Church in Amer
lea, drew attention to world evan
gelization as part of the planning to
which Christians must be commit
ted. 1--WE have been at this bus
mess of evangelizing mankind for
1900 years." he said, land we still
go at it in dilettante fashion
Practically every family sends SOL
dierS TO the war, and yet the United
Lutheran church, with over 1,000,-
900 confirmed members, has sent
fewer than 200 of her sons and
daughters to make known among
foreign peoples the Way of Christ. If
If we have the one sole hope of the
world in Christ, why does not the
Church wake up and make His
ways known? In God we can draw
on unlimited power. We believe that
let us act upon the belief"

Arrangements whereby the sep
arate wire communications system
maintained by the New Haven
Railroad will be utilized for the
transmission of civilian defense
message in the event of emergency
were announced today by Acting
Administrator Edward j. Hickey OF
the Com. ecticut War Council.
The announcement of the ar
rangement followed recent test of
the railroads communication sys-
tenn as means of transmitting
messages to the regional Office of
Civilian Defense at Boston. AS a
result of that test railroad officials
and the regional director of the
regional of the First Civilian De-
Tense Area reached an overall agree
ment based on the railroads offer
of its wire facilities throughout most
of New England in times of emer-
gency.
The plan calls for the use of the
railroads wire communication syS-
tenn which normally is strung along
the track right of Way--only when
regular telephones and radio COM
munications are out Of commission.
Martin A. Cattaneo, chief of the
Communications Section of the War
Councils Protective Division, assert
ed that the auxiliary communication
system would prove valuable in
maintaining emergency contacts be-
tween District Warning Centers and
the State Operations Headquarters
In addition, he pointed out, it will
be possible to make contact with
towns within the District Warning
Center areas although direct con-
nection with controy centers will not
be possible in every case.
In certain cities, he explained, 1t
will be possible for the Controller
to telephone the local office of the
railroad and ask to be connected 10

You said you wouldn't complain, did you not?
Or ever be caught saying Isn't 1t hot!
Yes it's hot but you once thought
You'd never let yourself get wrought
Up when the mercury Travelled high
It's a very hot day, but don't you cry!
Yes, it's hot but you recall
When you heard no birds clear call,
When the country sight to behold,
Completely now-covered-you said, isn't 1t cold3
I'll never complain, you said, about the heat,
Yes you did, now don't retreat
The thing of it is we're never altogether
