Shakespeare

Because Of the war, and not merely
despite it, the three hundred and
seventy-ninth anniversary of the
birth of William Shakespeare should
be observed on this Saint Georges
Day. Above all other bards. he is the
poet of those who merit the name
of patriot. Of his own England he
wrote the familiar but ever-moving
lines:
This royal throne of kings, this
sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of
Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for
herself
Against infection and the hand of
This happy breed of men, this little
world,
This precious stone set in the silver
Which serves it in the Office of wall
Or as moat defensive to house
Against the envy of less happier
lands
This blessed plot, this earth, this
realm .
This land of such dear souls, this
dear, dear land.
Only heart devoted beyond all
claims of self could feel SO compelling
a passion of alteration. The suppos-
edly untutored Stratford youth, who
came to London to earn scant bread
holding horses at the doors of inns,
was endowed with a spirit as kingly
as any crowned sovereign that ever
sat in regal state. His power of
language gave him dominion over
the minds of successive generations.
The country he was born to serve
would be other than it iS-leSs
noble and less brave-had he never
breathed. In that regard he takes
his place with Raleigh and Drake and
all other Englishmen of his own and
later times who have contributed to
England's survival.
But it happens also that Shakes
peare is the greatest of all singers
who have served the universal cause
q humanity at large. He deserves

Good Recommendation,
From the New York Sun.


A letter carrier, not otherwise identi-

speaks good word for Americans
These days the mail bags are heavy with
letters marked free" letters from all
over the world from men in service. The
men who deliver the letters, particularly
in small town, soon learn all the news,
good and bad, along their routes. Those
who get the letters feel in duty bound
to tell the man who brought them what
Joe said or how Bill likes Army life.
Thus the recommendation of the UNI
named letter carrier comes with the
voice OF authority. He says: Il have
never heard any of them say they were
sorry that their sons or husbands were
in service. Most of them seem to be
proud" This is as good recommenda-
ton as Americans could get, and it
comes from one who knows them pretty

remembrance in the prevailing sea-
son of crisis for his vision of brave
new world" in which mankind may
be "goodly'' and "beauteous." His
book brims with thoughts which are
inspiring to those who are struggling
for freedom for the human soul to
grow. The principle of individual
responsibility has nowhere finer ex-
preston than:
To thine own self be true
And it must follow, as the night the
day,
Thou canst not then be false to any
man.
Within reason, the solution of most
of the troubles which aff1ict the race
might be found in such a doctrine.
He who phrased it is living force.

GEORGETOWN,

There is mockingbird-robin feud in
my yard this spring.
The robin took over first. He is a very
large, chesty robin, with breast like
stop signal.
He chased the sparrows and cardinals
away, and ate some bread crumbs and
raisins had put out.
THE next evening he came and started
the same performance
"A pair of mockingbirds decided that
they liked the food, too, so down they
came.
THE robin took after one of them, but
the mockingbird stood still. and the
robin had to play leap frog to get over
him.
This so amazed the robin that he
stood still for quite time, with his tail
spread out like fan.
Then he flew at them several times,
but they refused to 60 away.
80 the robin decided that his job was
to keep the sparroWs away from the
outskirts. He chased sparrows until the
mockingbirds got their fill, then he went
back and ate some more
THE rains arriving, nothing more has
been seen Of the mockingbirds, but the
robin is still in the yard.
This feud probably will be solved by
the various birds coming at different
times Of the day.
Sincerely, M. o. F."
Robins like the before dark hour
Cardinals also find it favorite.
From 7 o'clock (really PM until
dark, is one of the best times to watch
these species.
Nothing in feathers has better time
eating than the redbirds.
These birds are favorites Of almost
every one, and surely no finer songsters
exist. The robin is known to everybody,
being regarded as the best-known bird
in America, but at the same time many
observers really pay little attention to
1t. This is due to familiarity We all
know how 1t is, when people and things
are overlooked.
Many persons who like birds, neverthe-
less, pay little attention to robins all
spring and summer. They will rave"
about the song sparrows and chickadees,
but say little if anything about robins
The honest robin, which belongs to the
thrush family, is a remarkable singer,
but If you happen to say this before a
number of persons, all of them will look
at you in wonder
This is because few persons take the
time to listen carefully to the robins.
They are among the latest singers of
the day, few members actually singing
every evening after dark.
The robin song is rolling, without def
mite pattern, or at least not so we'll
marked as that of the wood thrush 1t

Says Retired Policemen Again
Should Be Called Into Service.
To the Editor Of The StaI

To the Editor Of The Star:
Anent the recent proposal to increase
the personnel OF the Metropolitan police,
permit me to suggest that, first, all avail
able retired, salaried policemen be called
back and placed in the active list and,
second, that new men be employed only
as necessity requires.
This procedure would not only save
money for the taxpayers in these times
of great need from the salaries paid to
policemen not working at their former
jobs, but would cause them to vacate the
jobs which they have taken in private
industry at small salaries, setting a low
standard Of payment.
In order that all men may work, the
field above mentioned should be occupied
by those older men who lost their means
of livelihood when smaller industries
We're forced out Of business
One salary is all that any man should
expect in these times, and he should be
willing to work to the full extent of his
ability for 1t, and then he should be
adequately compensated for his work.

Offers Sardonic Suggestion
On How to Hurt Germany.
70 the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Representative Gearhart Of California,
1t is reported, recently charged that this
country had been unfair to Germany by
making treaties with and giving advan-
tages to France, Belgium, England and
other countries, but ignoring or neglect
ing Hitler.
In view Of what Der Fuehrer was able
to do to these favored nations before
he took hold of the Russian bears tail,
perhaps the answer to the problem of
how to punish and control Germany
after the war would be to make our
treaties with and bestow our favors on
her in the future and slight the other
nations. BENJAMIN KIRSON.
