"SEE SOMETHING LOVELY
EVERY DAY"

It was one of those gray
days, and, to the lady in our
story, everything Sc m e d
wrong. Work was piled around
her, important letters were
waiting to be written, house
hold tasks were undone, but
she just wasn't in the mood.
Finally, she laid aside her UNI
finished letter, put on her
wraps and went out. She didn't
know just where she, would
go, but, then, she didn't care.
There seemed to be satisfac-
ton in just sloshing along
through the snow. Walking
aimlessly down the main street,
she came to the heart of town.
Usually, window shopping was
a mania with her, but that did
not appeal to her today.
AS she sauntered along, her
dark reverie was broken by
strains of music coming from
a radio shop-one of her IA
vorite hymns! Soon she was
humming the words. Stopping
for a moment to listen, she
glanced into the window OF
the next shop-then the sun
came out! A profusion of flow
ers! It was the Fisher Flower
Shop. The sight was truly in
spring. Somehow, the flowers
fitted in with the song. Before
she knew it, this perturbed one
found herself inside, saying
out loud, ''Lovely! Lovely" A
courteous clerk graciously ask
ed, els there anything we can
do for you?" ooh, I just came
in to browse around a bit, do
YOU mind?" With smile that
was not in any way CONNER
cial, the reply came, BROWSE
all you wish, you are most wei
come" How could one feel de-
pressed and unhappy in such
an atmosphere? And, best of
all, God seemed especially
near. Oh, the beauty of His
handiwork Those azalea
plants - masses of rosy pink,
breathing of sunny hillsides in
the Southland; the delicately
tinted syclamen; the vines; the
freshness of many plants
whose names she did not
know!
This pleasant visit worked
wonders for our lady friend.
Her entire outlook on life was
changed; and, ere she left the
shop, she purchased plant
for sick friend, and, as SER
mon to herself, a bunch of
"happy jonquils."
"Thank you so much for
very enjoyable time, Mrs.
Fisher,'' she said as she went
out. The uplift she had receiv-
ed made her realize anew the
truth of the words-"Would
you be happy, see something
lovely every day."
You, too, will find that
''something" at the Fisher
Flower Shop.

Milkmaids Were Safe

In 1898 Jenner found out why
milkmaids did not catch smallpox;
they had had cowpox, a closely re-
lated virus. Both viruses have been
seen now under the electron micro
scope and they look alike. Cowpox
virus is only feebly virulent in man,
yet when used as a vaccine, it stirs
up the forces of resistance latent in
the body, after which the latter per-

Communists Jam Red Convention
tBY John Wallace)

NEW YORK, (P) - American communists jammed into Madi- son Square Garden Monday night for a noisy, demonstrative nation al convention of their oWn-high- lighted by censure of both Demo- crats and Republicans and praise for both Russia and Henry A. Wallace.
 Speakers at the opening session of the convention, the first to be held by the group since l945, were high party chieftains, all of whom are under federal indict- ment on charges of advocating the overthrow of the U. s. gov ernment by violence and force
 William z. Foster, national chairman of the party in this country and the top leader of the group of 12 arrested two weeks ago on grand jury's charges, was the convention keynoter.
 He told the estimated 10000 persons, in a fiery speech that bristled with attacks on Fascist, Wall Street imperialists," that a vote for either President Truman or Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, Re- publican presidential candidate means a vote for eventual fas- cism or war"
 Fosters endorsement of the Wallace group is expected to be followed by a formal decision of the communist executive board not to nominate Presidential candidate of it's own.
