Selected Poem

FROG.
(Stanton A. Coblentz in The New York sun
AS solemn hammered as the Sphinx,
With glsasy-staring eyes,
He seems being sanity calm
And infinitely wise.
Upon q sunken stone he sits
With head above the pond,
Tranced as a Yogi sage that peers
On some remote Beyond.
His long webbed legs Of notified gray
Are shadowy as a dream;
And one with logs and rocks tn. lines
or his bark body seem.
20 small astute philosopher,
What depths are yours?" say ..
When, plop: 10 snatch. a passing fly,
Ny seer has bounced away.

Premier TOTO has warned his japanese
subjects that "time OF emergency" IS
at hand, in which it would be desirable
to have factories and unneeded civilians
evacuated from Tokyo, and the air de-
lenses of other cities strengthened There
are some things about which the Japan
csc are backward. But apparently they
can read the handwriting on the wall.

The best thing TO do with weeds Is
10 throw them over the fence, or,
better still. to burn them. II they
are thrown In Q fence corner. the

may ripen and the wind may carry
them over the nearby ground.
We cannot AFFORD 10 be careless
about weeds. whether they grow IN

EVERY Soul HATH It's SONG

W HEN hearts are happy, song comes easily
to the lips. When hearts are sad, music soothes
and solaces. But it is in the great, inspired
hymns and professionals of the church that
both song and music blend most perfectly to
exalt or calm. To hear them, or to participate
in singing these songs, is not among the least
reasons for regularly attending Divine wor-
ship.

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 3-JameS A. Hendley of Middletown, Conn, superintendent of the web manufac- turing division of the Russell Manu- featuring Company was honored at ceremonies in the Russell plant in Middletown this afternoon when he was awarded the Army Ordnance Citation for outstanding industrial contribution to the war effort.
 The citation from Maj. Gen. Le- win H. Campbell Jr., Chief of Ord nance, was presented to MT. Hend- ley on behalf of Brig. Gen. Guy H. Drewry, district chief, commanding the Springfield Ordnance District, by Captain D. ?. Lindsley, head of the SOD Conversion Engineering Section, who was accompanied to Middletown for the presentation ceremonies by Lieut. R. M. Gage of the Hartford Regional Office and Dana 0. Howard, civilian assistant to Captain Lindsley.
 Today's award to Mir. Hendley came as a result of his success in adapting methods of weaving used in manufacture of 80 caliber ma. chine gun belts under Hendley pat tent and subsequent applications to the 50 caliber gun belt, thereby re- placing for many uses the metallic links which formerly had been con- sidered the only practical method of feeding the gun. Formal grant for free use of the Russell Com pany's inventions and patents on machine gun belts had been made to the Government on June s. 1922. the processes being made available to other manufacturers in further ance of the war effort.
 Improvements made by MT. Hend- ley were presented to the Conver- sion Engineering Section. Spring. field Ordnance D...rict, on January 2, iel3. First considered and screen ed at Springfield. these were suh- mltted to Washington, where they were approved for manufacture by the Office of Chief of Ordnance on February is, i0as.
 In the new design, metal was eliminated with an estimated say. inga on contracts for machine gun belts awarded to Russell Manufae- turing Company and other Snanu- gactuFeFs of approximately a2,2a0.0 900 pounds ol steel, enough for lb subs marines or five GeskFoyerh. and tn addition released machine tools and lacteFy facilities ln the metal ln- dustEies to other war time produc- ton.
