Heaven forbid! If she should come

never caught us and I hope she
never gets to know about it.
After the first two days your
troubles are going down with the

your old self again, only that you
can't leave the bed for a whole
week. Your friends call at visiting
hours and bring you flowers, candy
and magazines. You get lots of
attention and sympathy and you
almost hate to think of the fact
that you are going to get well
again and lose all the kindness

bestowed upon you.

100000 Tons Of
Swedish Wood
Pulp Sent toU.S

STOCKHOLM. - An authorita-
tive Swedish paper trade maya
zine said 100000 tons of Swedish
wood pulp have been shipped to
the United States since the sea
lanes were reopened in June.
1t reported wood pulp manu-
facturers said more than 100000
tons probably would be exported
to the United States by the end
of the year
Producers pointed out that vir-
tually all of this pulp was of the
chemical variety used to make
kraft paper. Almost no mechani-
cal pulp, which together with sui
fife chemical pulp is used in the
manufacture of newsprint, is be-
ing sent to the United States at
present, officials said. Neither is
the United States receiving any
finished Swedish newsprint, all of
which is committed to western
European countries for the pres
emit.
Swedish newsprint production is
normally bout 100000 tons a
year, but will be only 100000 tons
this year because of the serious
fuel shortage. Secretary of Swed-
ish Paper Use Association. Ewet
Landberg, said of this amount
about $4,000 tons will be available
for export this year.
Swedish newspapers have just
started a voluntary rationing sys-
tenn designed to reduce home con-
sumption by from 10 to Is per
cent, but Mr.. Landberg said it
was too early to determine how
effective the plan will be.

Mike had been a globe trotter
and spent a quarter of a century
in Alaska, prospecting and trap
ping, even making moonshine. He
had a lot to tell and was nice
company. He told us many inter-
esting and humorous incidents
from Alaska, of which I will re-
peat couple:
Mike lived in log cabin about
Is miles from Ruby, a small town
of 200 inhabitants on the Yukon
River. Trapping was his main bus
mess then, but, to break the
monotony, he would also make
moonshine for his own use and to
sell in Ruby. A bear lived neigh
Dor with Mike and made friendly
calls every day at dusk. He didn't
care so much for Mike, but his
garbage dump was much more in
teresting to the bear, and he
would lick all empty tin cans and
eat things that Mike did not care
for
Mike had just made new brew
of firewater and thought he would
try it out on Bruin. He put a pint
bottle full and with no cork in it
on a stump by the dump and
waited for the show. The bear
came, smelled the contents of the
bottle, stepped over, rose on his
hind legs and with his front paws
took the bottle and drank it all
The bear was a beginner as far
as liquor habits were concerned
and got drunk for the first time
in his life. He started to dance
around and seemed to have a Won
derful time. But after a few min
utes he felt a craving for more
and came towards Mikes cabin
roaring and making loud noises
He wanted another drink, but
Mike was not so generous that he
gave his good moonshine away fol
nothing, not even to bears, al.
though he had made one exception
The bear came right up to the
cabin and started to bang on the
door and the walls. He could smell
that Mike was inside and knew
he was the one who had giver
him his first drink and could see
no reason why he couldn't have
some more. The bear kept up hi:
banging and roaring for three day.
and nights, but after that he gave
up and ran to the woods. Mike, o.
course, was glad to get his free
dom back again after those three
days, and never again did he give
the bear any more drinks.
: Another time up north close t.
Tanana, Mike was on a long hik,
,, all by himself. At a distance
coming toward him, he sighted {

Sickbed Poetry

Sickbed Poetry
You had an attack,
You're flat on your back,
Laid up in drydock your hull
there to fix.
You just take things slow,
There's no place to go.
You can't even go to the bath.
Doc says: Mix"
For a day or two
You feel rather blue,
For those opera tions sure
dampen ones glee.
You lie there and stare
Like the old gray mare,
And you, too, amt now what
you used to be.
You get lots of aid
From "the white brigade"
Tho sometimes you don't seem
to enjoy it much.
You hate to confess,
But you are a mess
To lie and rely on a bedpan
and SUCH
All bad things don't last,
Improvement comes fast,
Relations and friends call and
bring lots of stuff,
Visiting hours,
Truckloads of flowers,
They have plenty vases but
hardly enough.
So day after day
Thus passes away
With nothing to do but to lie
on your ham.
At last you are we'll,
Your doctor will tell
You pack your pajamas, your
toothbrush and scram.
