WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP
by A. p. Herbert


That takes care of the future. What feeble soul
you are to see so many phantoms! Then:
sTh0nk God :. -
That brings the past into the argument. How
lucky, after all. you have been! What good
time, on the whole, you have had! And who said
it was over? Next:
"Why Worry? 80
Those words bring you face to face with your
self. Worry? A ridiculous state of mind! And
what good does it do? So:
ssAlI's Well. -
Breathe very deep on that last triumphant
chord - and start again. The bursting head is
easier already: instead of plunging about in
mHky jungle. it ambles comfortably on straight
white road to the land of Sleep Go on. Fear
nothing :" But think the magic words and
believe them. Otherwise, you will be straying
away to that wallpaper, that war again.
have not just invented my sleepy sayings:I
have used them for many years. They may not
help you much if you are condemned to death. or
suffering terrible pain = though, even then, who
knows? But for the fretting four o'clocks of most
of us they serve very well. Have yourself called
at four tomorrow morning and try it.

that can bring you peace
TT IS four o'clock in the morning - the worst
i hour of the day. You are awake, and worry
ing. You bear the. burdens of the world How
are you to pay the income tax, find house, get
better job. impress that pernickety boss? Your
sons health, your daughter behavior, the meals
for tomorrow. the school bills: your poor head
rambles round the troubles and the problems and
sUibbles incoherent lists of things you have to
do. VIII that wallpaper really be right? Is John
good enough for Jane? And suppose there is a
war? Poor. wandering head. You will never go
to sleep again.
Yes. you will. You will say four simple things
to yourself, many times. At each saying you will
take deep breath, and let it 60. Personally, at
first. open and close the eyes as we'll, in time
with breathing, for if there is any light this helps
to pull the mind out of that black whirling world
of worry. But that is optional)
You will say to yourself - and mean it:
ssFeGr Nothing -
Breathe, and let go. Open the eyes, see the
light, and restfully close them Fear nothing -

The Steinbergs bring back with
them an amazing superstition held
by Danish housewives, which if
followed by the men in this coun-
try might lead to many marital
difficulties. According to DR..
Steinberg, Danish housewives be-
lieve that if snow lies too long on
the ground, it will bring tragedy,
so the girls rise early in the morn
ing after a snowfall and sweep the
snow from walks and streets. Let's
hope the Danish superstition does
not take hold here.
Parents at Glenmont School are
happy to learn that Theodore R.
Butcher, former teacher at the
school, is returning after a year
at Parkwood Elementary School,
to be Glenmont's new principal.
Mr.. Butcher, who taught sixth
grade at Glenmont for two years,
replaces V. C. Tenney, who resign
ed as principal earlier this sum-
mer.
Mr.. Butcher is from Buckhan-
non, w. Va. He took his BA at
West Virginia Wesleyan at Buck
harmon, and married Mile Polling,
also at Buckhannon. His fields of
study included majors in History
and Political Science and minors
in Education and Psychology. He
is working toward his Masters De-
gree at the University of Mary
land.
The Butchers have two little
girls, Barbara Lea, 5, and Eliza
beth Faye, 2, are expecting an
addition to the family in Deem
Der.
New teachers at Glenmont this
year are Miss Ethel Benson, who
will teach first grade and will also
be vice principal; Miss Marguer-
lite Wilson, kindergarten; Miss
Mignon Conn, third grade; Mrs.
Ruth Davis, kindergarten; Miss
Winona Hare, third grade; and
Mrs. Shirley Porter, first grade.
Mrs. Porter, who has been active
in PTA and civic affairs. has been
Glenmont resident for several
years.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Davis of
Glenallen and their children Brian,
Allan and Darrell, have just re-
turned after several weeks away
from home. Three weeks were
spent by the family near Steamboat
Spring, Colo, where Mr.. Davis,
who is a radio activity specialist
with the Department of Agricul-
lures Bureau of Entomology and
Plant Quarantine, worked with
other scientists on an experiment
on the habits of the Englemann
spruce beetle, an insidious in
sect which threatens the western
Englemann spruce forests.
In the experiment, which was
considered preliminary one, en-
inently successful, 10000 radio ac-
tive beetles were released and
their flight distances and landing
places traced by means of scintil-
lators, the supersedure of the IA
nous Geiger counter. Newly
felled spruce were found to be par
ticularly liked by these beetles
who ruin trees by boring through
the bark in countless numbers and
laying their eggs in the trees new
growth. Further experimentation
is expected to develop ways in
which the beetles can be con-
trolled, if not through actual
chemical humiliation. at least by
solective cutting and numbering
processes.
The Davises extended their trip
from Steamboat Springs to his
toric Leadville, Colo, and Glen
wood Springs, the worlds largest
outdoor mineral spring fed pool.
They went on to Wyoming to visit
Mr.. Davis brother, to the Davis
farm at Noonan, N. D., and to her
folks in Fargo. They returned by
way of Canada.
