Youth Being Robber
Of Patriotic Heritage

What has happened to the spirit
of 1776" that made this great coun-
try possible? According to Claude
C. Ruch, Educational Director of
the Childcraft Advisory Service in
Chicago, "it has been relegated to
textbooks, encyclopedias and the
musty corridors of historic mu-
seumS."
In Mr.. Ruch's opinion "the aver
age American adult today not only
lacks patriotic feeling, he is infect
ing the country's youth with his
attitude of Indifference toward our
great traditions"
"There was a time," he observes,
when most of us celebrated the
patriotic h olidays by going to
church and standing in the main
street of our town for hours-re-
gardlesS of the heat or cold-in
order to watch the parade. After
paying our respects to our country's
patriotits, heroes, and martyrs, we
would return home for a quiet
family dinner.
"Today, we're far too sophisticat-
ed for such bucolic pastimeS. In
stead, we celebrate holidays like
Armistace Day and Memorial Day
by going to the movies and playing
cards. Visitin g monuments and
soldiers cemeteries is regarded as
the sacred duty of public officials
and other paid servants of the peo-
ple."
UNFORTUNATELY, this attitude is
reflected in the behavior of our
children who naturally follow the
pattern of conduct set by the adults
around them. Thus, American
youth is being robbed of both the
interest in and the opportunity to
enjoy the patriotic heritage"

Psalm altogether to those men,
even to those who had known it by
heart:
eff it had not been the Lord who
was on our side. when men rose
up against us, then they had
swallowed us up quick, when their

Difference among various
countries is symbOliZed by

seillaise."
When it comes to pass, as once
it did in the United States,- that one
part of the nation will sing one song
(say, "John Browns Body") while
another part will not sing that song
but another one (say. "Dixie,").
then civil war is at the gates. Only
people who will sing together can
be trusted to live together.
Singing Church
TN the long caravans, marching
! up the rocky hillside trails to Je-
rusalem, the ancient Hebrews put
their faith into stirring words set
to music. So it Is always. All over
the Christian world, wherever and
whenever the singing is good, re-
igion is warm and vigorous.
Where the heart is fun, there /
will be song. Revivals OF re-
ligion are revivals Of singing.
To this day q stranger In .
strange city, looking for
church home, is most likely to
settle down in the church where
the singing is the best.
It is not an accident that the
Moravian church Is at the same
time the church that makes more
of Easter than some other
churches, it is the church where at
funerals the music Is never sad
but Joyous, not mourning-songs but
triumphant hymns Of Christian
faith.
Patriotism and Religion
DEAD these marching Psalms
II through-the reading time Is
only q few minutes-and see for
yourself how the ancient Hebrew
men of God united their praise OF
Him with love for their country.
To this day, in our Christian hym-
nails. patriotism and religion are
often combined. The English ma
tional anthem, "God Save the
King" is a prayer; so Is America
the Beautiful" National hymns
have a rightful place in a book OF
public worship. For while patriot
ism, by itself, is poor substitute
for religion, still man who will
not love his country lacks some-
thing of being good Christian, and
on the other hand man without
faith in God makes very poor
citizen.

What job for boy! With spoon
and saucer in hand Henry moved
from freezer to freezer, tasting as
he went.
BY then it was time to turn off
the freezers, which was a lucky
thing for Henry, I think. He came
out of the icehouse and went to
the toy shop nearby.
What. confusion!
The little Santa Land folk worked
madly at their benches, putting
heads on dolls, blowing up footballs,
driving nails into wagons, painting
tops and a hundred other jobs
which had to be done before
Christmas.
Danced a Jig on the Table.
AS they worked they sang and
WhlStled and sometimes even
dropped everything while they
danced a jig on the work table. OF
course, this slowed htings up little
but it made them happy and, Of
course, only truly happy people can
make good toys.
Still, it made old Patrick Tweedle-
knees furious. He stomped around
the shop pounding his fists on the
tables.
I'VE might as we'll give up Christ
mas" he stormed. No one does
any work except me. Stop that
dancing! Stop that noise!"
No one paid the slightest atten-
ton. Instead, funny little brownie
with enormous feet saw Henry and,
darting to his side, he snatched his
hands and led him into a jig.
TWeedleknees threw up his hands.
1.-The party has started already, it
would SEEM" he said sourly.
"Of course it has," cried lovely
fairy and before Tweedleknees could
help himself she had caught his
arm and led him into the dance!
Every One Joined In.
Then every one joined in and
what a sight 1t was to see as they
all leaped and hoped from table
to bench to floor, round and round
the shop, with Patrick Tweedle-
knees the liveliest of them all.
Finally, gasping for breath, Henry
said he must leave, for Mr.. Dilly
would be wondering where he was.

dleknees hobbling up and taking
Eenry's arm. THAT was the merri-

Goren on BRIDGE

The bridge writer has lis mlsgiv-
ings about pointing out errors OF his
four characters in the daily news
paper drama. However much sound
pedagogy may require it, considerable
resentment is stirred up among
readers when the finger of scorn is
pointed at one of the participants.
On the other hand, there are those
who find it a source of great COM
fort to observe that experienced per-
formers will at times fall into the
same errors that they do.
Observe how many pitfalls this
innocent-looking hand provided.
North passed and East quite properly
made no effort to keep the bidding
open. South bid two hearts, though
most players would prefer the take
out double with hand this strong.
At this point West bid two spades.
1t is bids of this type that so many
PLAYERS cannot resist. With part
ner who has announced that he i7
trickless, to bid again with Such
holding is not only barking at. tre
moon, but invites disaster. North's
failure to double this bid is the out
standing error of the deal. The
collection of 300 points would have
been routine. When this juicy plum
had escaped their grip, North and
South finally arrived at reasonable
contract of four hearts, though three
no-trump would have been rather
easier to bring home.
West cashed the king and ace OF
spades and shifted to a diamond,
which declarer won in dummy and
took the heart finesse. When this
lost he was obliged to give UP an
other trump trick and resign himself
to down one.
South ought to have fulfilled his
contract. He is open to severe
criticism for taking the heart
finesse, for he should have been
quite convinced in view of the open
ing bid that West held the king
The only hope to make the hand,
therefore, lay in the chance that
West had only two hearts and that
the king would fall on the second
round. The proper play, conse-
quently, was the ace of hearts, fol-
lowed by a small one and the rest
of the tricks could be claimed.

Here is an important paSte-in
item for your dictionary:
Snorkel, noun. A tubular device
of German invention which permits
submarine to take in and dis
charge air while submerged. thus
being able to derive its power from
its diesel engines, rather than from
its storage batteries. Snorkel Is
pronounced: SNAWR-k1.
Snorkel, the accepted United

German word Schnorkel (the 20"

It is said that Missouri took its

A number of readers nave asked
for a discussion of the name OF the
Geiger counter. What does Geiger
mean and how is it pronounced?"
The Geiger counter is an instru-
ment used in detecting radioactivity,
especially as the after effect OF
atomic bomb explosions. The
counter was named for the German
physicist, Hans Geiger (1882->.
Geiger rhymes with tiger. Say:
GY-ger.
Most Of us are more or less famil-
lar with the word video, which now
is another name for television.
video is from the Latin videre, ito
see" 1t is pronounced: VID-ee-oh.
Audio. from the Latin audire, ito
hear" is rather new word which
means "of or pertaining to audible
sound, waves" However, in the
world of radio the word audio is
now being used to mean radio, that
is, radio without television. Audio
is pronounced: AW-dee-oh. So our
two new terms are video. meaning
"television," and audio, meaning
radio (sound only)."

COWrieS.

Many of our boys watched in
amazement the marvelously coloreo
cowries of the tropical seas. Many
Florida visitors collect the three
species to be found on the beaches
or those found in Southern Cali
fornia. OF course, ours do not COM
pare in brilliance with those OF
Bermuda or Nassau or other tropical
lands.
Cowries are good sized mollusks
with highly colored, richly oraa-
mented body and shell. The shell is
solidly oval, or pear-shaped and
highly polished; both lips of the shell
are toothed. The cowry's blunt head
bears long tentacles on which are
the eyes; the tongue is long and
we'll developed, the jaw horny.
The handsomest shell is never as
beautiful as the creature inhabiting
it. When the cowry travels it gides
gracefully along on its one broad
foot. The brilliantly colored mantle
engulfs the shell. There are bright
coral-like growths and many spots
of contrasting hues on the mantle.
You wonder how 1t happens that
any creature so colorful dares expose
itself to enemies. But we watch 1t
glide gracefully over rocks and coral
below and witness no fatality.
Small cowries are used for per-
sonal adornment among uncivilized
tribes in Borneo. Elephants and
horses in India are decked out in
harness covered with cowry~ bands.
In the shops of Florida one can
buy all sizes of trinket boxes covered
with small coWry shells. The highly
polished shells are too pretty to
resist as they glisten in the sun on
the white sands and few visitors
return north without collection
of them.
Most people have read about the
money cowry, found on the reefs
of coral islands. The color varies
from deep canary yellow to white,
the back is encircled by faint ring
OF dull red TO Grange. Tbs shells
