COZ ali the manifestations of

centuries ago. If we are not
touehy, if we haven't a chip on

] can do is to be as good a me
as possible and then wait. half

The Psalmist said. "Wait and
be not wearied in the waiting.
That sounds LEX a pacifist doc
trine, but it isn't. I heard
labor man explain it once. He
said he lived in a community in
which there was definite ami
mostly towards unions and union
men. There weren't but a hand
ul of trade unionlsts living there
and there wasn't much they could
except be good citizens. So
when the call came for defense
volunteers, they all Joined in.
And they did their pobs the best
they could do. Being trained in
organization, they did a good job.
The labor man told me one day
he noticed that he hadn't been
hearing anti-union talk lately He
asked his friends. They realized
that they hadn't either. In fact.
just by force of beingthemselves,
they had changed the temper OF
the community. The union men
had done their job and let the
community come to them - and
it did.
This is the one thing the mi

LET THEM COME TO YOU
BY RUTH TAYLOR

LET them come to you" One
Of the best balanced men / know
has adopted this as his slogan.
He says that ever since he began
to use it, his life has become sim
plified and things have gone his
way. He doesn't try to impress
people-and they appreciate his
genuineness. He doesn't feel he
has to talk if he hasn't some
thing to say-and they like his
calm. He can wait patiently
without fussing ~ and he has
found it pays in the dividends Of
friendship.
So it is with all OF us. What
applies to the individual applies
to groups. Too many people are
out seeking what they can get
for themselves and their groups.
How about reversing the process
and letting them come to you?
Set your own house in order. Be
sure you are doing the right
things according to your own
code of life. If you are sure OF
yourself. it will show in your
serenity of manner. Change is
an easy way to dodge the issue
btu it takes grit to stay put
and be content.

Sabina stayed at home for refu-

Enjoys Sketching
Birds at Feeder
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION.
BY Nicky Colby, II,

Alce 0eAl Junior Atgh 0eho0l.
Few people realize what pleasure
can be had just by observing the
birds right at their own homes. In
six months, In the outskirts Of WASH
ington, I have had at least II species
OF birds come to my feeding station,
including five kinds of woodpeckers.
After school, when I come home
I sometimes like to get out my
paints, sit at my window and wait
for the birds to come, so can sketch
them. 1t is amusing to watch the
titmice fight the chickadees - the
titmice usually win-and to observe
the way they eat.
One time, when I was doing my
homework heard heavy pounding
on the suet in the feeder and turned
to see large red-bellied woodpecker,
the first had even seen there.
Later, as the winter became colder,
more and more woodpeckers came.
Once, put out some popcorn on
the cob, but no birds touched it.
Then took the kernels OF the cob,
and they were eaten up very rapidly.
I have found out that peanut butter
does very well, too-if you have q
squirrel-proof feeder. Suet Is the
great speciality of all woodpeckers
and chickadees. At first thought
that nuthatches like suet better
than anything else, but later found
out that they prefer sunfiower seeds.
I have also put out sliced apples, but
with little success.
When the chickadees, tufted tit
mice and nuthatches come and get
a seed, they always fly of to a rough
tree, stick it in the bark and crack
it open, while the finches Just stay
at the feeder.
There is one cardinal that flies to
the feeder and alights right In the
middle of the pile of seeds, one
fourth OF which rolls off. Then she
starts hopping around and pecking
at the seeds here and there, while
about another fourth rolls OF. Hav-
ing consumed about an eighth Of the
seeds, she flies of, knocking of some
more seeds and leaving the feeder
almost empty.
1t certainly Is a great deal Of
pleasure and very little cost to have
feeder.

Now, more than ever, they are doing

So give all you can from deep In

They're angels Of mercy all through

And when you are sick they bring

Under laundering bombshells, no

There's no need to call them, for
they're always there;
They are always ready to give you
their best,
In damp prison camps in the East
or the West.
Give your blood so that soldiers
may live;
Encourage your friends so that they
may give;
The cause Is good and the need /.
great,
So give it now before It's too late.
When you give them your money
