.PrOWler At Home
OF Cecil Bains

On Sunday morning, March %,
at exactly l O'Clock, a prowler at
tempted to enter the home of the
Cecil Bains, located at 226 Tru-
man Avenue.
In relating the story, Mrs. Balm
who was at home with her little
son, Cecil Jr., says that she had
just gotten through reading and
was neeling up in bed saying her
prayers when she heard a noise
near her bedroom window, and
thinking it was a cat. she shooed it
off. She then resumed her pray
ers when she again heard the
noise. Looking through the win
dow, she saw the slowly rising
head Of Negro. She let out a
piercing scream that drove the
prowler away and awakened her
neighhOrs who. advised her to call
the police.
It is quite gratifying to know
that we have such an efficient
police department, for in little or
no time after the call was put in,
the patrol car came. The police
searched everywhere but no trace
OF the prowler was found.
Cecil Balm, ST.. is the owner
and operator of Club No. 81. locat-
ed at Petronia Street.

Another old thought for the
New Year:
"We passionately long that
there may be another life in which
we shall be similar to what we are
here below. But we do not pause
to reflect that, even without watt
ing for that other life, in this life
after a few years we are unfaith-
full to what we have been, to what
we wished to remain Immortality. +"
It Is amazing, isn't it, that while
we hope for an after life in which
we will be ourselves, we constant
" undermine the real self we wish
to immortalize? We must COM
promise in living. Compromise is
good if it is not carried too far.
We must often compromise with
the long dreams of youth and we
must temper optimism with real
ity, but somehow we are apt to
become tawdry in the process.
While doing so we sometimes lose
the freshness and light Of earlier
shining ideals.
We lose the glow which made

every day seem new and exciting,
that conviction that right is worth
fighting for, that determination to
live up to what we believe. This
happens gradually and subtly as
we compromise by chipping away
here and there at our former ideas
of honesty and kindness and fair
play and loyalty.
It is difficult to know where
compromise turns into loss of
character. Each one of us must
decide this for himself. Perhaps
an effective yardstick by which to
measure the change in ourselves
would be this thought, Am the
sort of person today I would like
to be through all eternity?" That
would be a pretty rugged test and
few of us could say "Yes." How
ever. it would certainly somewhat
change our viewpoint about daily
living.

door. But there are others who
work to get more of the amazing
housekeeping gadgets of this me-
chanical age; others work so as
not to become dependent upon
married children: some work to
add new interest to life after their
children have grown and left their
homes and many because they
find the social contacts of the
business world more interesting
than the isolation of the home.
And the old argument about the
pocketbook now gives the wife a
more emphatic voice.
It was found that an increas-
