however. Portland along with
other cities of the nation cele-
brated its fourth wartime Easter

1t Is gratifying at last to see

an effort was made to convince
the management of this store,

is by Negroes, that white and Ne

side. Finally the bars were low

fountain, the lunch counter and
in the toiletries, vivacious Mrs.

And when we are victimized
because of over-trustfulness, we
should not altogether lose faith
in humanity. We should take the
lesson to heart and be more care
full in the future.
Experiences of this kind create
man and woman haters. They
lose faith in the opposite sex.
All are gay deceiversl There
are no exceptionsl That is the
view of the cynic.
And such an attitude adver-
tises the harassing character of
ones experiences. which should
be locked securely within ones
own soul. to be accepted as an
invaluable lesson that should be
helpful as a guide in the future.
Do not allow cynicism to sour
your personality.
Life Is wonderful 1t is a
glorious privilege to be bouyantly
alive.
But what we get out of life
depends largely upon what we
put into it.
If we are hard, distrustful and
synical, we must expect similar
lack of appreciation from others.
The harvest usually depends
upon the seed that is sown.
And one should try to avoid
being over-trustful. There are
many hyenas looking for victims.
through a certain amount of ex-
periences with life "in the rough"
helps to protect one from these
pirates.
Remember, also, that we are
influenced greatly by our asso-
ciates.
Try to select friends among
those who have worth while
ideals.
Aim high in your struggle for
the prizes of life; and the acrid
disposition that comes from cyni-
cism should be avoided.

peas planted early In the spring
when the soil Is full OF moisture.
Four to six inches, as illustrated,
Is suggested unless the soil in
your garden lie extremely heavy.
To insure getting the soil into
close contact with the pea seeds
walk over the row lightly after
the seeds have been covered with
soil. This procedure also helps to
hasten termination Do not COM
pletely I'LL the trench but continue
to add more soil as the plants
develop. This method encourages
