By KATHLEEN NORRIS

Tim PHILLIPS mother
wrote me an anguished let
y ter a year ago, when Jim
was reported dead in a Japanese
prison camp. Later, by one of
those miracles that just a few
mothers we're privileged to
know, Jim came home; thinner
and graver and older, but back
safe into their arms once more.
The glory of that reunion, the
laughter and tears, lasted only
a few days, then Jim had to tell
her that on his last leave, now
nearly two years ago, he had
been secretly married, and to
the wrong girl. And this blow
has shattered Jim's mother
more than even did the false
report of his death. She is pros
trated.
"Telka is three years older than
Jim, she is 49, writes Jim's moth
er. "She is American born, of Rus
sian and English parentage, never
finished high school, and has been
working for nine years. Jim met
her when she came into my house.
hold as a practical nurse, during
my father-in-law's last illness; that
there was anything between them
I never dreamed, but it seems there
was, and my splendid, generous boy
made her his legal wife before he
went away.
when the report of his death
came, Telka was away in an army
hospital, nursing, and that report
was denied by his return before we
heard anything from her. Now she
is home, living with her mother, ia
Their, and some younger brothers
and sisters, in the crowded way such
families do live.
Tired and Confused.
''If Jim still loved her, l would
not be writing you this letter. But he
seems to have had all feeling
drained out of him by the frightful
experience through which he has
passed. Twenty-one months of star
walton, cold, loneliness, and the suf-
ferings and deaths of his friends all
about him, have left him only terri
bly, confuSed-helpless
Unto our lovely home, perfectly
kept by the old colored servants who
have been with me since the first
of my children was born, comes
this strong, big, foreign-appearing
girl with her claim as my sons wife.
She is as shy and confused as Jim
is, but when my husband very con-
siderately talked to her, she gave
no signs of surrendering her claim.
Telka, l may add, is thought un-
usually handsome.
eve are all in the same agony of
perplexity that has seized upon the
younger pair. Telka will not agree
to hushing the matter up with
quiet divorce, although my husband
would pay her expenses to Nevada
and support her there indefinitely.
She says the whole thing must be
made public, for the sake of her
own reputation, as quite few of
her friends and her own family
are aware of the situation, and she
will not have any suspicious floating
about in future days.
"Jim appears bewildered, and
red-tired-tired. He has no job,
and as my husband is a portrait
painter he cannot make job for
his son. At one moment, Jim says
of course he loves Telka-at another

Store paint brushes in turpen-

bristles to become soft and f1abby.
A spray bath refreshes indoor
plants such as ivy, freeing them
from dust and preventing attacks
of red spider which spots the
leaves.
To remove chewing gum from

scrape it off.

I REV. ROBERT H. HARPER I :

Lesson for August IS: Exodus
20:I5; Matthew S:2l-24; 10; 2S-
81; IS:I0-I4.
Memory Selection: Matthew S:
%.
The commandment, Thou shalt
not KILL" comes first In study OF
the sacredness Of human life. Next
we learn from Jesus of other ways
of despising human life besides TAX
ing 1t away. Anger Is worse than
most men realize. In petty annoy
anceS or grievous wrongs the surge
OF anger comes to the heart and we
should strive TO master angry
thought as well as hasty word or
overt act.
SO Jesus teaches reconciliation
with q brother. To be right with
God we must be right with our fell
lows. The spirit OF true worship and
malice cannot dwell in the same
heart. Be reconciled to God before
Offering your gift-learn the Joy of
forgiveness before seeking the for
giveness Of God.
Human life is infinitely precious
fn Gods sight as inferred from his
concern for the sparrows. II spar
row cannot faQ to the earth without
God knowing. surely the very hairs
Of your heads are all numbered.
Children are especially precious in
the sight Of the Father. And the
infinite value that he sets upon them
should lead us to deal with children
as persons Of great importance. AS
the shepherd rejoiced over the find-
ing Of the one sheep that had gone
astray, Jesus is ever concerned to
save unto the uttermost-to save
children from the evil that is in the
world. and to rescue Older persons
from the sins which have already
overtaken them.

Knights of Pythias
Honor Service Men

Garrett Lodge No. 113, Knights of
Pythias, presented a special program
in the local Castle Hall last Friday
evening, planned especially to well
come home the members of the lodge
who served in World War II.
Past Chancellor, Merle D. Frantz,
acted as master of ceremonies. He
extended fraternal greetings to the
veterans of both World Wars l and II.
His greeting was followed by group
singing led by Cecil Smith, accom-
panied at the piano by Bill Gibson.
DR.. Denver C. Pickens, pastor of St.
Paurs Methodist church delivered the
address Of welcome to the veterans.
He spoke on how much the veterans
had been missed at home and how
happy were to welcome them back. He
pointed out that the ideals for which
they fought were yet to be attained
and that their services were needed
here at home in attaining them. A. G.
Gortner, grand inner guard, of the
Grand lodge, Knights of Pythias,
Domain of Maryland, presented Ger
tificates of Valor, to the veteran
members entitled to them. Lewis R.
Jones responded to the presentation
on behalf of the veterans. Veterans
not entitled to certificates were re-
cognized and applauded
A male quartet, composed of
Knights, Cecil Smith, Beeson Snyder,
Clarence Jones, and Herbert Leighton
rendered several appropriate musical
numbers. A bouquet of flowers was
placed on the altar as a special trib-
ute to the memory of Kenneth F.
Beckman and Luther NJ Schmidt,
two members who payed the supreme
sacrifice in World War II. The men,
bership stood at attention as the
flowers were being placed, then
bowed in silent prayer as the quar-
tet sang taps.
