Mayor Idle
Wonder Where I'm
At Attitude Attacked

James p. Friel. in his opening
campaign speech for mayor. Satur-
day. branded Mayor JeffrieS' ad-
ministration as "do-nothing" and
termed the delay in securing ade-
quate airport facilities for Detroit
"just one Of his continued stories. "
Former chairman of the Wayne
County Board of Auditors, Friel
centered his opening bid for sup
port around Detroit's airport
problem.
''If JeffrieS ever settled the
airport issue, what would he
have 10 talk about every two
years when he comes around
seeking reelection he asked.
"COuncilman John Lodge
three years ago cried out In
righteous Indignation, do some
thing and w. Is. Stout de-
manded swift action. We have

We can condsmn the property

to get taragon vinegar or mara

bowls and egg-beaters while I am
getting meals.
BEST of all, he carved me little

was so good that I have kept it,

Reaching her, the colt halted, bent
his head and endured 1t, trembling,
while Nell took his foreleg in her
hand. She was obliged to unstrap
the halter. When the colt felt the
sudden release and his leg touched
solid ground, he stood heaving, froth
dripping from his mouth. Nell put
her hands on both sides Of his head.
As once before, he leaned against
her, his face hidden, resting and
comforted.

For an hour Nell played with the
colt. She put his halter on and
off. She rubbed him dry with a
sack. All that he had learned be-
fore came back to him now. He
gave her his trust, he ate from her
hands, he looked into her eyes. She

Keeping Knives Sharp

Most kitchen knives get dull be-
cause they are improperly stored,
used for the wrong job, and never
properly sharpened. To sharpen par
ing knives put sharpening stone on
a fiat surface, pour on few drops of
light or medium household oil, and,
holding the knife in your right hand,
with your left forefinger bearing
down slightly on the knife tip.
"shave" the stone first toward you,
then away from you. The knife is
horizontal to the stone throughout
the sharpening process.

Early in May came the last big
snowstorm, falling on the barren
brown earth. In that wrapping of
snow there must have been a magi-
cal, mothering heat, for when the
sun peeled it off, the world was
green.
For the colts, the greengrass
meant that school was over. They
were freed of their nursemaid and
curry combs and halters and tie
ropes and were put out on the Sad
die Back again, and now they were
the yearlings, and the band of year
lings of the summer before were
the two-year-olds.
Banner and his brood mares were
no longer on the upland. On April
first Rob had put them in the fenced
meadow below Castle Rock. Here
was less exposure for the heavy
mares and any early foals that might
be dropped. Late spring storms were
dangerous to the newborn. Besides,
with breeding season approaching,
Banner would have his eye out for
new mares, and up on Saddle Back
there we're young mares, his daugh-
tiers, who, with the spring, would be
coming in heat. The stallion, even
from five miles away-if he was not
under fence-would seek them out
and force them into his band He
might fight with and kill some of
the young stations.
Goblin tasted his first greengrass.
Babyhood was over. He had no
mother, needed none. He needed not
even trough of oats and the care
of men. The whole world under his
feet was delicious to eat and his for
the taking. And for the first time
in his life he was really and COM
pletely free-not even a piebald
Granny to demand obedience of him.
There is no such speed on the
range as the speed of the yearlings
running like deer on the crests and
ridges; no such wild, irresponsible,
prankish fun, such flinging of small
bodies across ravines, such races
on the straightaways, such tossing
of heads, such frisking of heels. A
yearling has little weight to carry.
He is all long, piston-like legs, ragged
hair, and wide, nervous eyes. He
learns to jump all natural obstacles,
he learns the free gallop down the
steep mountainside; learns to pick
his way at top speed over stony
ground studded with shrubs and
badger holes. He is always out
doing himself, surrounding difficult
ties he never met before.
For Gobnn there was more than
fun and freedom galloping over the

w 7HEN your soldier boy
M comes home, remember
W that time is the cure for
the problems that will come
with him.
Whatever the situation is,
time will alleviate its hardest
features; time will bring new in
terests, new turns of the wheel
that will make living tolerable
to him.
Be infinitely patient; not too
cheerful, not too sympathetic.
Keep about him as pleasant an
atmosphere as you can, and
wait for time.
Perhaps he may have to ad-
lust himself to the loss of a hand,
or a leg. Perhaps his sight is
gone. Perhaps some facial in
jury will cause him pain and diff
ficulty for the rest of his days.
Or perhaps - and this is the most
dreadful of all - his mind will be
slightly disordered. Not enough to
make him an institution case, but
enough to distress those who love
him, depress him almost to des-
pair, and make readjustment slow
and hard.
Meet all this with serenity and
faith. Time works miracles. Torn
ligaments heal; lost limbs are
missed much less than anyone un-
afflicted by that loss can believe.
And love and courage and time
time-time build up ruins and tie
the scattered threads of life into new
patterns.
After the Parties.
So when your soldier boy comes
home. meet him with the usual
royal welcome. Fried chicken and
layer cakes, joyous telephoning and
visiting, presents, entertainments,
unlimited family affection and in
terest.
But when this furry is over, the
strain comes, and that is the mo-
nent when you have to have your
strength and philosophy ready. Here
is the story of an American mother
who has had that crisis to face.
"My twin sons, Rafael and Raoul,
went into the service in the army
two years ago." writes Mrs. Frank
Espinosa Of Tucson, Ariz. For
a while they were together, then
RATE was sent to the Marianas, from
which he returned six months ago,
having lost both legs. Rolly is still
in this country.
1.-THE mass horrors of war are be-
yond all comprehension, but surely
there is no sadder case than that of
magnificent 22-year-old who
comes home hopelessly crippled.
His father aged 20 years overnight,
and for all my prayers, all my de-
termination, could hardly bear the
shock of meeting him.
"In his wheel chair, he held
sort of travesty of homecoming re-
ception; then we had to face the
grim fact - put away forever the
old fishing-rod, the football clothes.
The pity of friends and family cut
him terribly, yet he had to see peo-
pie. We are not rich, my husbands
salary is adequate, but no more.
Our home is six room cottage, in a
plain block Of similar cottages. The
boys used to 60 away camping in
hot weather, and for several sea-
sons; my husband took a job in a
mountain hotel, and I went there
with him, and helped in the dining
room. But we could afford no luxu-
ries for our stricken boy. We could
not take him away from the eyes of
neighbors and friends.
"For months he sat and brooded.

$4,000 Telephone Orders
In Seven Mountain States.

MANY people who are waiting
for telephone service have asked
whether we will be able to serve
them soon, now that the European
war is finished" H. A. Unger, man
ager of The Mountain States Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company
said today.

than $4,000 people in our seven
states and 50 in Coolidge alone

ger I'VE have been installing
service when facilities became a.
vailable, in the order of their ap-
plication.
THE end of the war in Europe
means that the day is nearer, of
course, when it will be possible to
manufacture all kinds of telephone
equipment. But now all of our
country's energies must be turned
Immediately to the swiftest pos
sible defeat of Japan.
when manpower and materials
become available for the unlimited
manufacture of telephone instru
ments, until the wires between the
subscribers premises and the tele
phone office, and the central office
equipment itself are available, OBJ
viously the telephone instrument
can be of no use.
After final victory reconversion
of our manufacturing plants will
be possible and it will be a differ
ent story. But not a short one.
First the telephone factories
will have to be reconverted to civil
ian production and then they must
turn out huge quantities of tele-
phone equipment. After that, all
the needed telephones, central Of
flee equipment and outside plant
equipment must be installed for
the people waiting for service. 1t
will be the biggest peacetime Job
that the telephone company has
ever faced.

we'll do it as fast as humanity pos
