The White Earth
Cincinnati Enquirer

No doubt the verdant earth of spring is closest to the hearts of men, among all the aspects of our eyer-changng world But the sere and multi-colored world of nature that follows the early frosts has its admirers also. And at point most often in December in these attitudes awaken of morning 10 find unfamiliar world, blaDketed in white.
 This is the face of nature most welcomed by the young-and often resented grudgingly by grown ups for whom poetry has been thrust aside bg such mundane matters as overshoes. snowsoves tire chains and the common cold.
 appreciated because it cannot be at it's best for mere than an hour or two. After that mantle of snow becomes a s0dden, scoty garment, chewed UT by rubber tires, tramped into slush by hurrying humanity and sprinkled with sand and cnders by sound municipal enterprise.
 Beyond the line of dense settlement, however, the world of white is lovely miracle of nature en exciting change of costume for earth deprived If the lush green of forest and crops and grass.

Children's Wishes
Cincinnati Enquirer

The master of ceremonies for the radio program interviewing a group of bright alert children They ranged in age from five to eight He asked each of them what they'd most enjoy receiving for Christ mas-most of all the things in all the world. And radio programs being what they are, it seemed likely that the sponsor would see to it that each childs hopes would be fulfilled Christmas morning.
 What interested the simplicity of the de- nands of those children. Facing the possibility Of gaining magnificent gifts they chose the simplest for simple the things they desired, as is the way of children One girl wanted doll which would talk, asked for bike; boy chose an electric train Net one mentioned mink coat, convertible road ster or yacht. No hoped that Santa Claus would leave a million dollars in his stocking.
 As listened to the high, immature voices of the children pondered the matuity-and the practicability-of their wishes The yacht, the mink the rcadserall were beyond their ranges of desire The things they asked the thinas they could
 and the things they might well be able to obtain. Instead of dreaming of the unattainabla, they dreaming of gifts within their nomic, social and mental limitations Many adult could follow the pattern. and find happiness thereby.

THOSE CHANGEABLE ADA,iRALs

In fact, the homes were about one-half completed, when suddenly the Navy again changed it's mind
 Having first decided to abandon the mine test base, then decided to make it permanent, the admirals nave now decided once again to abandon the mine test base.
 Meanwhile various expensive sup plies badly needed for veterans housing, having already heen order ed. are being delivered Ii Congress men had journeyed south a few miles into Maryland recently, they might have seen truckloads of steel framework and insulation going down to Solomon's Island-despite the fact that all construction has been stopped. The Navy forgot the slight detail of countermanding it's orders in time to prevent delivery
 All of this is one reason why vet erans housing is so scarce. The biggest builders in the United States are the Army and Navy. Both branches of the service de- cided to rush through a lot of construction immediately after the war while they thought Congress was in a generous mood

THE NAyY.s TWO PETS

Here is the latest story going the lnunds of the Navy Department. When you read the above account on the changeable admirals you can understand why the Navy tells it with such glee.
 A grammar school teacher was enrolling a new class, according to the Navy, and was somewhat sur prised to find two small boys who gave their names as: John L. Lewis Smith" and Drew Pearson Smith"
 A little perplexed at these unusu- al names, the teacher decided to call the mother of the two boys, and the following conversation took place:
 Mrs. Smith, I'm calling about your two little boys who enrolled with me at school today. I just want to make sure that I have their names right-John L. Lewis Smith and Drew Pearson Smith Is that correct?"
 Yes, . replied Mrs. Smith. That's what I named 'em. You may think they're peculiar names; so perhaps I should tell you that I'm not mar ried and maybe you can think of some better names for those two little b. -
 And that is one story the admir- als do not change.

g.ANhDABAIKS0N DISCUSSING PEACE
 TREATY, GERMANY
By JACK SMITH


 London, Jan. 27.-The four-power Foreign Ministers deputies, schedul- cd to hear Canadas views on the German peace treaty, today, post poned the meeting after the Can adians said they were not ready to talk.
 A semi-otficial Canadian source said Canada never would be ready to talk unless she were assured that a presentation of her views now would not jeopardize her rights to participate in subsequent deliberations on the German peace.
 United States sources said Can ada, seeking a stronaer voice in the treaty-making, had "indicat- ed informally" that she would hoy colt deliberations on the German pact unless assured that she could take part in later discussions.
 Yesterday tte deputies in re- sronse to written request from the Canadian delegation as to whether participation today would jsopardize Canada's future partici- patton, said only that they would be glad to hear her views
 Meantime, argument continued between the Soviet Union on the one hand and the United States, Britain and Francs on the other on the extent to which other small" nations should be allowed to take part in drafting treaties for the March big four meeting in Moscow.

HUNTERS LEAVING
FOR DEER MONDAY

Hunting season opens Monday
and from available indications
there should be large number
OF hunters taking off into the
hills to bring back venison dinners
for themselves and their friends.
A check of sporting goods and
hardware stores this morning re-
vealed that hunting licenses are
being sold in considerable num-
bers. Some lines of ammunition
have been almost complete sold
out.
enc estimate placed the number
of hunters planning trips this
weekend at lower than usual the
fist days of the season because
OF the number of sportsmen who
will stay in town for the Salmon
Derby tomorrow
Another storekeeper suggested
that despite the Derby there will
probably be more hunters going
out this week than usual because
of the shipping strike and the
shortage of fresh meat. Hunters
will attempt to stock their colo
storage boxes early against a
possible difficult and high priced
winter.
! At any rate, this is the be-
ginning of the season of red
hats and shoe pacs, of carefully
oiled and cleaned rifles, and OF
the stiff muscles boosted by the
successful hunter when he re-
turns to work the day after pack
ing his deer down the mountain.
