close behind him, ran into the barns
where the flying reindeer were kept

Santa putting and painting. Then
we can decide what to do next"
Where are the deer?' cried Mr..
billy. Its so dark in here I can't
see them"
Henry, light the lamps" ordered
Santa.
Quickly the boy obeyed. Santa
and Mr.. billy and Henry each took
a lantern to the stalls and peered
in. There were no reindeer. Instead
eight little gumdrops, green and
orange and yellow, lay in the straw.
"Oh, my!" gasped Santa. Il can't
think what has happened. I can't
understand why my magic wand
caused this terrible thing"
Henry dropped his head. He had
to tell Santa what had happened.
"Its all my fault" he whispered SO
low Santa could scarcely hear him.

Some III" Words to Watch.
With much attention being paid
to aircraft, the word helicopter has
become important. The pronuncia-
ton 'HEE-li-kop-ter" violates the
etymology of the word.
Helicopter borrowed from the
French helicoptere) is from the
Greek combining form helico-, "a
SPIRAL" plus pteron, "a wing" In
all words formed from helico-, the
first syllable is pronounced to rhyme
with bell. Helicopter, then, should
be pronounced: HELLi-KOP-ter.
Another Greek combining form,
hello, means "the SUM-" In all
words deriving from hello, the first

help of dams, flood water can be
kept under control to a large extent.
Men learned to build dams thou
sands of years ago. The first dams
appear to have been walls of earth.
They were Of help, but the flood
waters tended to eat through them.
When large holes were cut in an
earthen wall, there came . flood
on the other side.
The next step was to make dams
more solid with the help Of stones
and masonry work. When the stones
were cemented together, they did
far more to hold back flood waters.
Often there was masonry In the
center of the dam and earth on
either side.
Another purpose Of the early dam
was to save water for q dry season.
When a kind Of lake was formed,
the water could be drained on into
reservoirs. It was saved until it
was needed for crops.

East Coast Fishermen Boost
Herring Catches for Europe

BLOCK ISLAND, R. 1.-The fish
in Block Island sound are feeling
the effects of the European Recov-
cry plan.
Millions of herring - left undis-
turbed in the past for lack of a
market - are being caught to feed
the hungry abroad. Huge trailers
are carrying the silvery, foot-long
fish to canning factories on the
eastern shore of Maryland and to
Maine.
Carl johnson, veteran fishing cap
tain, explained they had been in the
sound for years. But" he said,
this is the first year we've han
died them. The large majority are
canned for the new type of lend
lease for Europe. We're trying to
knock a couple of billion dollars off
the Marshall plan figures"
More than 312 million pounds of
herring have been caught since the
run started. Large balloon nets
dragged along the shore bottom are
used to snare them. The best place
to find the herring is from three to
nine miles out.
The herring found the sound
good place to escape whales.

ly informing the people on al
issues.
(4) Combat communism and
all that would destroy the DEM
ocratic way of life. Long ago
prominent Kiwanis Intema-
tional president took up the
cudgel when communism was yet
a parlor philosophy of economics.
He openly opposed it's threat,
and though he is now deceased
his work is still felt, the speaker
said. He recommended a wider
use of the Kiwanis series of
pamphlets, "It's Fun to Live in
America"
(5) Foster conservation and
development of natural resources.
Timber, wildlife and lands are
endowments that have been abus-
ed and often squandered, yet
they are essential and deserving
of utmost consideration for the
future.
(6) Strengthen the friendship
between the United States and
Canada. The two have lived
peacefully together on the same
continent for a long time, the
ties of friendship have grown
stronger with the passage of
years, and in today's troubled
world they have confidence in
each other. A testimonial that
Fagg cited is the unguarded
boundry that separates the two.
CD Work for peace and in
ternational understanding. The
10000 men now in Kiwanis are
a potent factor in promoting and
preserving peace not only for
themselves but also for other
countries. In connection with
this last point of the series, the
speaker pointed to the ease with
which problems are solved when
all parties to a controversy know
each other.
He concluded by expressing
the hope that the Laurel club,
already well known in the dis
trict and the international organ
ization for its good record,
would send its officers to the
international convention next
June at Atlantic City.
Guests attending the meeting |
were Arthur Smith, L. R. Ship |
ley, Elmer Jackson, Eugene
Spilde and John Orndorff. The
last two represented the Laurel
high school Key club.
The Key club boys presented
the matter of roster board for
