Evening star., 1947-08-12


book stood out as one of my favor
ties. I believe reading that Mrs
Southworth's books were rathe,
drippily sentimental, perhaps it wa
so, but the books conveyed a beau
tiful story. I certainly would thanl
any one who could tell me where
might get copy.

BE THE BEST OF WHATEVER YOU ARE
By DOUGLAS Malloch. -,
II you can't be pine on the top OF the hllls
Be scrub in the valley, but be ,,.
The best little scrub by the side Of the rill:
Be bush If you can't be tree.
II you can't be a bush be bit Of grass,
And some highway happier make:
II you can't be o muskie, then Just be bass
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've got to b
There's something for all Of us here.
There's big work to do and there's Jesse
And the task we must do is the near.
II you can't be highway then Just be
If you can't be the sun, be star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fan
Be the best of whatever you are!
