Among the name letters" which
nave come to me lately are two
which deal with the weather. One of
these has this note:
Some years ago my husband had
in his Office workers named January
Frost and Freese. My husband has
a book-publishing business and the
bookkeeper's name was Book"
Another reader, Mr. R. r. Hep
burn, of Edmonton, Alberta, writes:
"A few years ago resided for a
time in a different house in Ed
monton, and in that house. lived.
among others, the following per-
sons.
Mr. Winter, Mr.. Frost, Mr.. Storm
and Mr.. Fair. One of the residents
was not hep to my name, and called
me Mr.. Burns, adding a warmer
touch"
Lately I have gathered telephone
books from quite a number of cities,
and this helps me to 60 over names
OF special kinds. BY little search,
nave found that there are several
Mr.. Colds in the world. I have not
found a single Mr.. Hot, but there
are some families with the name of
Warm.
Every large city seems to have
a dozen or more Snow families, and
middle-slzed cities usually have at
least few persons named Snow.
This might lead us to expect to find
Rain as a fairly common name. but
l had to look some distance before
seeing the name of Rain. Yet, in
various cities, there are families
which spell their name "Raine" or
"Raines."
The family name of Cloud could
hardly be called common, but in
one city I found it listed IA times.
and 1t appears a number of times in
other cities. Scores Of Wind families
live in this country, and we also
have many Gales and some Breeses.
l have failed, however, to locate a
single Hurricane or Tornado family.
From E. M. Hamilton comes a
letter with these paragraphs:
In names which represent build
ing materials we have Wood, Glass
and Stone In soils we have Clay
and Sands.
A man named Hunter may think
of other families with such names
as Gum, Fox, Wolfe, Beaver, Lyons,
Grow and Partridge Names which
| are connected with water include
| Pond, Lake, Wells, Rivers, Brooks,
| Waterman and Waterland."

Uncle Rays Corner

The Importance of Yugoslavia has
kept growing in the Second World
War, and it seems well to review
some of the facts about it.
In the first place, let us see what
Yugoslavia was like before it was
invaded by Hitler's troops in 1941.
The area was 95,576 square miles,
which Is more than that of Ohio
and Pennsylvania combined. The
population was close to 10000, 900,
very nearly the same as that OF the
States named.
I one sense, Yugoslavia is a
young country. It was built up, or
put together, after the First World
War. Parts of it, Serbia and Monte
negro, had been kingdoms before
the war, but other parts were taken
from the old Austro- Hungarian
Empire.
As a result Of those changes, the
new country was given a long coast
on the Adratic Sea. It was called
''the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes." That told the names of
the three kinds Of people who made
up most Of the population. Many
persons felt it was no good to make
the differences too plain, and in 1929
brought about q change in the name
to "Yugoslavia." This name means
Country of the South Slavs." The
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes are of
the Slavic race, and are related
to the Slavs Of Russia, Poland and
Bulgaria. They were expected to
get along together.
In the excitement after the Ar
mistice Of 1918, there were elections,
and the people voted to join in a
single country. But, as things
turned out, troubles of one kind
or another arose. There was a diff
ference Of religion among them, and
they had different national back
grounds.
The Serbs and their close rela-
tives, the Montenegrins, were mainly
Greek Catholics. The Croats and
Slovenes, on the other hand, were
mainly Roman Catholics. The Serbs
and Montenegrins had been free
countries, and their people felt they
had been "victors" in the war.
Many Of thir leaders were not will
ing to give the Croats and Slovenes
fair and equal treatment. Bel
grade, the capital city Of the new
country, had been the capital of
Serbia, and the Serbs were accused
Of wanting to run things" Recent
troubles between Chetniks and Par
tisans date back, in part, to old
quarrels before the war.
In a general way, the Chetniks
represent King Peter and the Serbs,
while the Partisans represent the
Croats and Slovenes. That, how
ever, is not all of the story. It
is reported that many Serbian SOL
diers have joined Gen. "Tito" and
his Partisans.

Across the horizon at the end Of

An American bomber is flying high;
AS it races away from the English

We shout, Good luck and come back

The work of that pilot Is a trying Job.
It's to bomb Hitler and the rest Of

He'll drop his bombs on scared little
men,
And then he'll come racing back
home again.
In history books, you won't see his
name,
Though his faith is unerring, his
courage the same;
For he's only one who's doing his
To destroy Berlin and the dictator
there.
He scatters his bombs to the left
and the right,
Then, like flash, he is out of sight;
He has done his job and done it
we'll
Now he's flying back from that
flaming hell.
Across the horizon at the end of

An American bomber is flying high;
As 1t races back toward the English

We say, Thank God you are back

through with breakfast at $50 am.
Lila explains that, although the
crops were poor because Of scanty
rainfall, there was plenty of work.
Most Of her work consisted Of strip
ping tobacco and picking beans.
Since the girls were paid for the
amount Of work they did, Lila often
made as much 81 an hour.
But all work and no play makes
Jill dull girl, SO the girls were
given Saturday and Sunday OF.
The camp was equipped with tennis
courts, rowboats and many other
recreational facilities. OF course,
many Of the girls Just loafed, read
or wrote letters.
Lila enjoyed her summer i'm
mensely, and she has the added
satisfaction Of knowing that she did
a vital job well. She Is very proud
Of the little armband which she
and all the other Volunteer Farm
Workers are entitled to wear.
And-who knows?-this winter she
may recognize some of the beans
that she is eating as being those
that she picked last summer.

miles apart, and their mode OF
living Is still very primitive. For
instance, the center Of Seminole
encampment Is the fireplace, built of
8 or 10 dry logs, arranged like the
spokes of wheel. The fire Is built
at the hub, or center, and as the
innermost ends are consumed the
logs are moved toward the blaze. In
this manner the Indian gathers
enough wood at one time to last
several days.
According to Avis, the Seminole is
pleased to show white visitors around
his camp. And If tourist happens
to be there at the right time, he can
witness the tribal dances and fes-
tivals.
Avis and her party came home
along the Eastern Shore route. One
Of the most interesting places they
saw along the way was Daytona
Beach, which is a famous motor
speedway. This fine ocean beach
% miles Of white sand 500 feet wide
and beaten to the smoothness and
hardness of a pavement by incoming
tides-is a natural automobile race
track.
Another interesting place which
Avis visited was st. Augustine, where
she saw the oldest house"-built
during the 18th century. In this
town she also saw the street which
Is said to be the narrowest in the
world.
Just before crossing the State
border, Avis and her parents spent
an enjoyable hour in the Oriental
Gardens near Jacksonville. Here
they saw 18 acres Of beautiful sub
tropical paintings along the St.
Johns River. The place Is designed
like a Chinese garden, and 1t in
cludes pools, winding streams,
bridges, arches and many flower
beds
Avis assures me that this trip to
the land Of flowers" as the name
Florida means, will long remain in
her memory as most delightful and
interesting experience.

War Correspondent Explains
Importance of Bond Sales

that he told was about trading with
the Arabs-pronounced, he ex-
planned, with the accent on the
"a" AS some news dispatches have
related, there is a sort of standing
joke about Arabs being born with
eggs In their hands, because they
always carry eggs, ready to trade
at any time.
Mr.. Collingwood said Allied SOL
diers trade old shirts, socks and
other clothing for fresh eggs. He
had a cake Of soap which he priced
highly, as in many parts of Africa
1t is unobtainable, and he hoped to
trade it for many eggs. However,
to his surprise, there were no Arabs
interested in q cake OF soap.
Mr.. Collingwood also told about
the Arabs calling hand grenades
'nogas," as they thought the ex-
plosives were just large nuts.
Sometimes Arabs found grenades
and placed them on large stones
and hit them, trying to break them.
OF course, the result was disastrous.
The young correspondent is ma
tive Of Washington and graduate
Of Central High School. Two mem
bers of his family, Rebecca and Har-
ris Collingwood, are now students
at Roosevelt High School.
One of the impressive things that
he mentioned was about the selling
and buying of War Bonds and
Stamps. He declared he knows from
experience how the materials of war
are needed over there and how the
money that we put into bonds and
stamps will help. He emphasized
the fact that we are not buying lust
anything like postage stamp when
we buy War Stamps but are buying
q share in America share that
we can rightfully be proud Of when
our Allied victory comes.
