More and more. my readers

This kind of cooperation is cer-

From Mrs. E. E. K. of Mary

letter, with some suggestions
which she thought might be
helpful.
One of the ideas Mrs. E. E. K.
sent is a variation of the one
we discussed recently-beauty

She writes:
Some time ago, I visited with

was expecting the girl who came
to set her hair.
The girl came and while she
was doing her work, told me that
she had a regular route Her
customers washed their own hair
and she only did the setting. No
artificial drying was used. It took
her about 10 minutes and then
she moved on to the next place.
The charge was nominal. This
friend could not afford to have a
regular beauty shop treatment
and therefore was not depriving
a shop of its business. The opera
tor was a former employe of a
shop, who had responsibilities
now and was using her spare
time profitably:: Everybody was
happy"
Mrs. E. E. K. continues with an
idea for those older women who

QUOTATION.
Mrs. J. u, Alexandria

For Mrs. F. G. D., Washing
ton, the quotation you have
in mind is from "The Lost
Leader" by Robert Browning.
It goes, "Just for a handful of
silver he left us. just for a
riband to stick in his coat"
You will find it in many an
tflologies. or in any Browning
collection. Browning was in
dignant because William
Wordsworth had deserted FROM
the Liberal Party. Words
worth and the Poet Southey
seemed to be traitors to their
own and their friends life
long convictions at the time.
May I correct you as to
Browning being poet laureate.
Wordsworth, because of his
change in politics, became poet
laureate in 1843. Browning
resented Wordsworth's appar-
ent switch for monetary gain,
thus, "The handful of silver"

POEM.

mrs. A. w. B., LGureU
Here is a copy of the poem,
"There1l Always Be a Christ
mas" as requested recently.
It is by Ruth Winant Wheeler.
They say We can't keep Christmas.
At least We can't this year,
With warfare raging everywhere
And hearts cast down by fear.
But whether men observe the day,
This fact remaineth still: ga,
Theren always be Christmas,
There always will. always will.
The life begun in Bethlehem
On Christmas long ago
Continues still to bless the world
q Through our wartime grief and woe;
40r warfare never can erase
Nor boom Of cannons still
The message Of the angels song
Nor take away its thrill.
The promise Of the ANGELS song
OF peace good will to men.
Is Just as true as when first sung
Long since o'er Bethlehem;
For there1l always be Christmas,
There always will, always will,
As men remember Bethlehem's
Bright star above the hill.

Doctors Warned BY Doctor

doctor. That the public cannot af

cine was put over by visionaries
On an unwilling public was eXplod-
ed at the same time-by the same
physician.
DR.. Ulrich Redd Bryner of Salt
Lake City stated before a group of
doctors that the British National
Health Service system was adopted
only because 'the people want it;
to keep the American public from
wanting" any government con-
trolled system this natio's doctors
must give their patients the best
medical care at price the pa
tients can afford to pay"
DR.. Bryner added that "We can't
afford to gouge patients with
prices above what their (voluntary)
medical insurance provides" The
rise in voluntary health insurance
plans has brought a rise doctors
fees, on their theory that the pa
tient now can afford to pay more
since his health insurance foots
part of the bill.
Seems like everything costs
more these days. 1t even costs
more to get buriad and it costs
more to get buried and it costs

II Goes To Prove .

IT SoeS 20 fTove
Here's proof what loving wife
can do il she sets her mind to it.:
A worker and C. l. o. member
in an Ohio plant suffered a most
painful and crushing injury to
his leg while on the job. To add to
his misery the company doctor
said that the leg had to come off
. amputation was the only rem
edy, otherwise he would not be
responsible for his life. &
The heavy-hearted wife could
not become reconciled to this dag
nosis.
"Won't you send my husband to
the Mayo Clinic or to John Hop
kins Hospital? And if they agree
that his leg should be amputated,
so be it. But please let's not be too
haSty. Let's be sure that it must
come off"
But the company doctor was a
proud man and informed the wife
that he was a man of reputation,
that he knew his business and that
he had declared that the leg
should come off and that's all
there is to it.
But this good wife was persis-
tent soul-no harm was going to
come to her husband if she could
help it. And so she bounded and
bounded and bounded the com
panv management until ultimate
ly they agreed to send her hus
band to the Mayo Clinic.
And here's the happy ending tC
this story of wifely perseverance
the Mayo Clinic doctor said
the leg need not come off and
they performed extensive surgery
and long treatment and the
leg was saved!
This raises in our minds the un
fairness of the Ohio Workmen's
Compensation Law which requires
that an injured worker must 60 tC
a company doctor for treatment
if he works for a self-insurer, OIL
else pay his own medical bill Anc
who can afford that? And if oul
c. /. O. friends good wife had mo-
shown extraordinary stick-to-itive
ness, he would have followed the
company doctors recommendation
| and lost his leg.

Storm Clouds
Here are a few facts to warn
the boys down in Washington that
il is time to do some aggressive
planning or we may get few un-
happy economic squalls.
For example the volume of un-
employed workers in Ohio normal
ly drops between September and
October. This has been the usual
tradition in Ohio. In Is years
there have been only three excep-
tions to this rule, according to
Labor Market Information, issued
by the Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation. BUT this year un-
employment ROSE in October
over September.
Another "sign of the times"
shows that overtime work has
slowly edged down for the past
six months. Ohio factories aver
aged 40.6 hours weekly in Septem-
