Clever new idea for Easter dec
Grating! Cut little hats and jack
cts, skirts and Stacks out of paper
or cloth, tape them on your Easter
eggs with transparent Scotch"
cellophane tape. Delights kids

kets are simple to make with
cellophane tape, too. And it can't
be beat for sealing bright wrap
pers on gifts. Remember to get
several rolls Of Scotch" Brand

Inventory : 1851
BY Mrs. Kermit Glotfclty

During the early part of January,
stores and other places of business
are busy taking inventory. They are
ending one season and getting ready
to begin new one. Shelves are
cleared. Shopworn items are culled
out and marked down to be disposed
of at bargain prices. Old but good
merchandise is counted and measured.
Fresh goods fill up the spaces, and
new supplies are stored in the stock
room.
1t would be interesting to know
how many people, at the beginning Of
this New Year, have taken time for
another and more important inven-
tory. How many of us have stopped
and taken stock OF our spiritual,
moral and mental equipment? Upon
this equipment, we depend day after
day for the most important business
Of all, that of our daily living.
From screaming headlines of our
newspapers and from our radios we
are told that in the coming year, we
will be called upon to make many
sacrifices. Unprecedented amounts OF
money are to be spent to prepare for
worldwide conflict which may OF
may not come.
i.,.. al n
important resources Of our people,
our strength, our faith, our courage,
our beliefs. Yet, to great extent the
quiet strength and convictions of our
people, will determine whether or not
we retain the things we hold dear.
Our leaders glibly tell US our young
men are fighting for our freedom
Yet, other men, equally patriotic, say
they are fighting because Of the
blunders of those very leaders.
We love to speak Of how much we
cherish freedom-religious political
economic. Yet, | have often wondered
what religious freedom really means
to the many people in our land, who
never belong to Christian Church
never are a part OF its work here at
home, or make any contributions to
its vast worldwide work of helpful
ness and love.
Likewise. what does political free
dom mean to many of our eligible
voters. who never bother to try to
understand the issues involved, never
make the mental effort to find out
the most capable candidate, and are
too busy to vote?

1t would be Of little value to send
our best young men to fight for free

home, and which mean nothing to a
great number of our people.
believe an inventory for each one
of US is in order. In a quiet moment
we should ask ourselves some soul
searching questions about what we
really do believe, and how well we
are prepared to defend those beliefs,
not only with force Of arms, but,
more important, with our hearts and
minds.
Shortly before her death, Edna st.
Vincent Millay wrote this prayer,
which might well be ours:
God pity our hearts, that did so long
for Peace;
Deal with US kindly; there are many
here
Who love their fellowman (and may
their tribe increased.
But cunning and guile persist; feroci-
ty empowers
The lifted arm of the aggressor; the
times are bad.
Let us give thanks for the courage
that was always ours;
And pray for the wisdom which we
never had.
