Hail to thee, blithe spirit! The turdis
migratoriuS Is now an assured thing, or
rather an assured bird. More commonly
known as the American robin 1t is Off
cially the state bird of Connecticut. The
bill so designating 1t was passed in the
Senate and the House, and yesterday Gov
ernor Baldwin signed the bill which gives
us the bird, as IL were. We can think OF
no more suitable choice. Our lovely robin
is pleasing to all, handsome TO behold,
with its pleasing call and more pleasing
song.

Selected Poem
A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU

EMVAOAASASn VF AOO
(By Grace e. Light In the Boston Post)
When the evening shadows gather
After all my work Is through,
I can't keep my eyes from straying
To a photograph OF you.
There 1t rests upon my table,
Just the way you looked that day.
Ali II seems 1t was but yesterday
When first I heard you say
Words Of love that made me happy
And made all my dreams come true;
But--tonight I'm all alone with
Just a photograph OF you.
For one day our country called you
And you bravely answered "Here!'
Oh, I'm proud Of you, my soldierl
Yet brush away tear.
Cause miss your CHEEKY whistle,
Miss your footsteps on the stairs;
Miss your strong arms and your kisses
That can Danish all my cares.
Then I wonder II you're lonely
Yes-I know you miss me. too:
While / sit here Mountaineering
At that photograph OF you.
30 tiptoe 10 my window,
Kneel and wish upon q star
As pray TO God 10 keep you safe,
No matter where you are.
Thus my heart Is ever with you
While wait the long days through;
And The dearest OF my treasures
Is that photograph OF you.
When the years have told their story,
And the world once more is free.
I'll be waiting for you-Darling-
There will still be you and me.
Then we'll build our dreams together.
Hand In hand the long years through:
But forever In my heart I'll hold
That photograph OF you.

TRAINING DIRT FARMERS

Can city boys be trained TO be

County, Pennsylvania. The twenty
seven young men who received di-
pIomas attesting to their ability to
till the soil or to raise livestock will
be but a minute addition TO the ma

Is more significant Is that most OF
them were born and brought up In
urban communities.

ly killed at IL o'clock Tuesday MORN
