He always sat in this spot, or
perched on a stool in the cashiers
cage. He glanced up and smiled
like fat little buddha come to life.
He didn't speak. I thought:
''FIe doesn't remember me. But
then I am the only customer in the
place, he must have smiled at me.
He remembers me all right"
I thought, ''but doubtless doesn't
relish the memory"
I turned away. couldn't help but
stare out the window. Her apart
ment was just across the street,
third floor front The windows over
looking the street were dark. Being
so near her set the butterflies hop
ping in the pit of my stomach. I
returned to the fountain and slipped
at the matted.
Seven years. How do people mark
the passage of seven years? To
some it's the span of witch's curse
on a broken mirror. The return of
the locust. The end of the itch. Pill
grimages to Mecca. Sabbatical
leaves for teachers. Each has his
own way of reckoning. Seven years
or a century.
I glanced at Armand. To him it
probably meant another chin :.
more money. To her I had no

Growth of Baby Teeth

When a baby is born his first
teeth are already formed in the
gums, although they usually don't
begin to come through until be-
tween the sixth and eighth month
The diet of the mother before
the baby was born determines the
health of the baby's teeth, which
begin growing five or six months
before birth.
The permanent teeth as well as
the baby teeth begin to form be-
fore birth. The baby's diet affects
the condition of these second teeth.
Calcium in milk and Vitamin D in
fish-liver oil are essential for
strong healthy teeth.

Hired Man and AristOcrat

THE genuine prophets, whose
l. writings make up so much OF
the Bible, are something far loftier
than mere fortune-tellers. They are
authentic voices of God. Because
of the way they spoke. the timeless
truth of what they said, they are
Gods SpokeSmen to our own times
as well as to their own, and to all
times.
The Bible prophets were not
professionals" They had no
churches to support them. No
regular meetings were arranged
for them. You never would have
read in the Jerusalem Journal,
If there had been such news
paper, that the Rev. DR.. Isaiah
would preach at the temple at
IL a. m. and there would be spe-
cial music. Few ever knew
when or where a prophet might
speak.
No one knew beforehand where
a prophet might come from. Amos,
for example, was hired man from
a sheep-ranch. Micah was small
town preacher. Isaiah was highly
cultured citizen of the capital, in
innate with all the important peo-
pie. Ezekiel was a trained priest,
loving ritual and ,pageantry. Jere-
miah was lonely, hunted man,
living often in jails. Daniel was a
member of kings council, wealthy
and famous.
They were all kinds of men, these
prophets, but one and all. they were
Gods voices, pleading, warning,
teaching all who would hear.

Sins of Society

IN AN American town there was a
L lynching one Saturday night. The
next morning there were four SER
mons in the four little churches of
the town; but not one of the preach
ers had word to say about that
lynching or any lynching or about
the causes that produce such
crimes.
The prophets never would have
missed an opportunity like that.
They were not afraid to speak out.
even when they had the whole COM
munity against them.

What Does God Require?

1T IS easier to say DON'T than
L A'Do." 1t is easier to criticize
than to construct. But the prophets
did not stop with warnings. They
have given us pattern for living,
which Micah summed up in those
matchless, inspired words: What
doth the Lord require of thee, but to
do justly, and to love mercy, and
to walk humbly with thy God?"
Everything that is good, in
public life or in private, is in
cluded in those 22 words.

at the matted. He stood watching
me for a long minute, then he said:
"She was in last night" he said.
Gas a matter of fact, we were talk
ing about you, Mr.. Anderson" He
picked up my empty glass, and
forced it down over the automatic
washer.
nodded, too busy thinking about
what he said to even reply properly.
So they had been talking about me?
What did that mean? 1 was certain
neither of them knew the real story
behind my sudden departure. I'd
had to 60 in hurry. No one knew
except John and Peggy. AS far as
the others were concerned, was
just guy who had taken his firm
for few hundred dollars. They
probably figured I'd been lucky to
escape prison.
That I had been covering for John
was nobody's business. didn't ap-
prove what Johnny had done, but
Peggy was my sister. With three
kids and another on the way, Johnny
knew his salary wouldn't be able to
stand the stretch. Instead of laying
his problems before his boss and
asking for a raise he lost his head.
He did the foolish thing. Others had
done it before. I got him out Of the
mess, but no one knew this but the
three of us.
So I figured any conversation
about me wouldn't be compliment
ary =. unless they'd discovered
that I wasn't just cheap thief. I
wondered. She lived at the same
place. Armand was friendly toward
me. What did it all add up to?
But did they know these things
about Peggy and John? Did they
know that the money had been re-
paid, Or were they like the others
did they suspect that I was just
bum? guess I might just as well
forget about the whole thing and go
some place to start all over again.
I took one last look toward her
apartment, picked up my coat, and
asked the girl for my check. Ar

guess. Finally Armand shuffled
over to the cash register and took
the check the girl had given me.
That's all right, Mr.. Anderson"
he said, This is my treat. Good
luck"
I muttered my thanks and went
outside to stand under the awning,
wondering where to go in the
gloomy downpour. Then it sud-
denly dawned on me Armand
had treated! His seal of approval!
I was still Mr.. Big across the street
that's what he was trying to tell
me!
Armand had let me know that in
his quaint, unobtrusive way. I
looked again at the apartment win
dowS. There was light there now.
She was home!
I didn't even look up and down
the street, but dashed out into the
rain. This was it! The thing I'd
waited a million minutes for. This
made up for every lonely night,
every remark handed out by those
who didn't know. was going home.
I could say all the things that had
been bottled up inside me for so
long. could tell her now how much
I loved her, how I had longed for
her. I glanced back as I entered
the building. Armand was peering
out the door, his round face pressed
against the glass, wide smile
spread across his countenance as I
waved merrily before climbing the
stairs to the third floor front.

Their Times and Ours

HUMAN nature is always much
= i the same. One man alone, or
one man with another man, or a
man with woman, or man in a
crowd-in the Eighth century before
Christ when Amos preached, or now
in the goth century after Christ,
the same sort of situation brings
out the same temptations, the same
sins. The prophets often sound quite
but that is only because
the human race is so old-fashioned.
The prophets looked about
them and saw world much
like our own. They saw people
spending more than they could
afford; they saw wealthy wOm-
en- dressing in competition with
one another while poorer wom-
en- starved; they saw crowds of
business men attending religious
services on Sabbath mornings
and spending the rest of the
Sabbath figuring out how to
cheat their customers on Mon
day. -
The prophets lived in evil times
and they brought the judgment of
God to such tirneS-then, now and
always.

club meetings and helping in COM
munity activities to make it a more
enjoyable place to live. hope every
girl in every community will have
the opportunity to join a All club
and will be an enthusiastic mem
Der during and at the close of the
club season.
And last, but certainly not least,
is the importance of the position of
the mothers of the club member.
That club member is your child and
needs your help and your encour-
agement. The girl joins the club
with high hopes and expectations
and only you can help realize them.
The mother is the one who should
talk over with the girl what she can
select for a club project that is 60
ing to be of benefit to her now and
of value throughout her life. The
mother is the one to furnish the girl
with materials to work with. The
mother is the one to encourage the
girl to attend meetings regularly, to
give extra encouragement when the
goal seems impossible and to COOP
crate with the advisor to get the girl
to do the best possible work that
she can do.
With everyone working shoulder
to shoulder in such a way, the All
club can't fail and will become the
pride of the community Let's make
this year the best club year yet.

owner of the three foXhound pups

last Thursday when he brought this

Last Wednesday,, a week ago, this
chairman had the good fortune to
accompany our president of the
FFPA, Charles Gill, to the Buckeye
Hut, located on the hill above the
Roman Crock resident for an all-out
and free-for- all foxhunt. Charles
had two dogs and Roman five. A
fire was soon built in the Hut stove
but the foxhound music started be-
fore this was finished Charles two
dogs made strike fifty feet from
the Hut and they were soon off, and
they were joined in by the Crock
dogs, and the hills resounded to the
music. SWee1 music to the lover of
the Chase, however, has to be heard
to be appreciated
This chairman will drop fishing
pole any day to listen to the music
of the foxhound. Several others liv-
ing in and around Caldwell on this
Wednesday evening were out but
they all reported poor success. One
Of them got cold feet and another
reported the wind too cool.

Home Demonstration
Projects
By MISS RUBY ERMAN

With the beginning of March the
minds of everyone are turning to
All clubs. Yes, it is time to plan
the reorganization of last years
club and the organization of some
new clubs and then get into action.
There are three parts to every
successful All club. 1.-The girl who
is the All member. 2-The advisor,
and 3-The mother The duties of
each one are equally important
The advisor of the club is the
guide for the girls. She helps them
in selecting their projects, in work
ing out their project to the finish
and then in sharing the pride of the
finished product.
Here is no small job-teaching
small, chubby fingers to take their
first stitch while at the same time
giving suggestions for a dashing
touch of decoration for an "up-to
knowing why biscuit is hard-giv-
ing suggestions for curtains for
girls bedroom-teaching how to ap-
ply a bandage to a spralned ankle
etc She has the responsibility of
keeping the interest of each girl
alive and active in her project so
that she will finish her project with
the best of her ability. She also has
the responsibility of making that
club worthwhile to the community
by helping each member to be a bet
ter citizen. | hope every Al advisor
that did such a fine job last year
will be back on the job again this
year.
The All member has RESPONSE
bility to her club, her advisor, but
mostly to herself. At the beginning
of the year the member starts pro-
ject 1t is only fair to herself that
she completes this project and COM
pletes it to the best of her ability.
The All member is in the club to
learn to sew, cook, bake, preserve
food, arrange furniture, select be-
coming accessories, and many other
things, as we'll as to enjoy the COM
pany of the other members of the
club. The Al advisor is there to
help the member with all of those
things so the club member and ad-
visor should be good cooperators.
The All members should also take
the responsibility of seeing that
every girl in the community is a
All member. The members are also
responsible for electing officers in
the club, carrying out the business
of the club, providing good, whole
some recreation and good times for

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

Veterans are prohibited from re-
celVlng subsistence allowance and
readjuStment allowance for the
same period, officials at the Vet
Grams Administration branch office
in Columbus, emphasized today.
VA officials point out that only
veterans actively seeking and will
ing to accept any suitable work may
legally receive unemployment al
loWances.' Even then, veterans are
not eligible for unemployment pay
during any period for which they
receive subsistence allowances under
the educational and training provi-
sions of the c.. l. Bill.
Concurrent receipt of both ben
efitS is violation of the law and
subjects veteran to prosecution.
Veterans and dependents of de-
ceased veterans of the Indian Wars
will receive 20 per cent increase
in their service pensions effective
March, Veterans Administration said
today.
The increases, approved by con-
SfeSS IN january, Will AFFECT ABOUT
$50 living veterans, 2,1O0 widows
and some so helpless children of de-
ceased Indian War veterans.
Under the increased rates, which
followed the granting of similar in
creases for pensioners of other wars,
the veterans will receive from $24
to $120 per month, depending upon
extent of disability, age and quail
flying statute. Widows rates will
range from $36 to $50 monthly, with
additional allowances for children.
VA said the average age today of
Indian War veterans is IS years, and
that dependents average 30 years of
age.
Adjustments in the amount of
payments will be made automatic
ally by VA and will be reflected in
checks issued for periods subsequent
to March l.
