AUTUMN
Spring is gone,
Summer has past,
Time does fly,
The world goes fast
Autumn is here,
To make all happy,
Winter is coming,
The weather will be snappv.
The trees are turning,
The leaves are falling,
Far across the sky,
hear the birds calling
It's autumn time,
The crickets are singing,
The mornings are chilly.
Jack frost is bringing.
The days are getting shorter.
And nights are longer,
The sun seems DINNER,
And air feels stronger.
And now it seems so quiet.

Little folk are back in school

Seven teen-year-old Donald Mcbride h a s just received his seaman's papers as junior engineer, it was revealed to- day by the War Shipping Adminis- tration, and father Michael J. Mo Bride has just completed IT years service in the merchant marine.
 This called for a celebration at the Mcbride family home at 676 Capp street, San Francisco, but the other four sons are out at sea. So father Mcbride told the story: "Yes-the whole family's serving in the engine room of merchant ships now. I'm a chief engineer, so are Joe and Eddie. They've been mer- chant seamen for 12 years now
 Harry's a second engineer, seven years at sea, and his wife's an Army nurse. Charlie's a second, too, with four years at sea. They've all seen enemy action. So far I'm the only one who's been torpedoed. It hap pened in the Bali straits a Jap raider had sunk four ships that day and we were rescuing the crew of merchant marine tanker when two torpedoes hit us. Right after being rescued I got another ship and all six of us McBrides expect to stick with the merchant marine for the duration and after the war, too."
