Nv ago, was always warmed and

houses we passed at night. There's star
in that window, he would say. and once,
when asked why, he answered, Looking
at star in the sky, you see only lumi-
nous pin-prick, behind which is world.
There are worlds behind those lighted win
dows, too; worlds of love and happiness, of
heartbreak, of striving and sacrifice. Al
most every lighted window is star that
denotes courage and accomplishment"
WE SEE another kind of star in windows
nowadays, red figures on cloth fastened to
the sash, which indicate more conspicu-
GUS courage and accomplishment. For
every star, some member of the family
group has followed the flag of his country
to camp or overseas, and is ready to give
his life, if need be, for the things he and
that family hold dear.
But remembering my fathers words,
know that there are those other stars,
too - and l never see lighted window
without wondering what drama is being
enacted within. If we could know all those
stories, how much more affection and ad-
miration we should feel for human kind

whose behavior subtracts from our self
satisfaction or self-interest.
