WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 R -
The OPA today granted series

Price ceilings for the remaining
cotton items will be revised later.

DailyPrayer
FOR RELAXATION

In these tense times, o Father
Eternal, we would entreat Thee
for calm and quiet and relaxed
minds. Deliver us from fretful
care over great issues which we
cannot alter, except as we pray.
And may our prayers be in the
serene faith which keeps the soul
untroubled. Teach us how to rest
in the Lord. While battles rage
and destiny stalks abroad may our
strength still be in quietness and
confidence. Having done our best
for the great Cause, may we live
without panic or fear or anxiety;
for our help is all in Thee, great
DellVerer of Thy people. Because
Thou art strong, we would not be
weak. Even in the dark valleys
through which we are now jour
neying we would wear the smiling
faces and cheerful hearts of those
who are assured that victory is
theirs because they are on the
side OF the Victor. Thus may the
joy of the Lord be our strength.
Amen-WT.E.

4 Fuss Budget
by Chaplain Frank H. Thompson,

A well known author penned this
as an introduction to one of his
books:
ITO Leonora
without whose never
failing sympathy and
encouragement this
book would have been
finished in half the
time"
Do you not adore dear, fussy,
fidgety Leonora? Was she his low.
ing mother or devoted wife, he does
cot say. 1t does not matter. We
have her picture. She surrounds
him entirely. If the sky is over
cast, she has his rubbers and
umbrella. Does he sneeze there
is the hot water bag. His food is
carefully selected and proportion
ed. The shades of his room ad-
iusted to the proper angle; his
desk in apple pie order; his necktie
just so. The wonder is that the
book was ever finished.
The preface was meant to be
humorous and no doubt the writer
expressed himself as forcibly as
he dared under the circumstan-
ces. But one should not jest with
tragedy. And it is a tragedy as
all those who have to live and
work with the Leonoras, male or
female, will readily testify.
We repeat it is a calamity to
be associated with the folks who
are ete2nally concerned about our
physical and moral well being;
who fuss and fret and fume about
keeping things in order; who sacri-
flee peace and harmony to the god
of triviality.
An Old Play-"I hope you're
not a fidget. "A what?' A fuss,

everything done the other way"
