Crash Kills Prince,
YugosIavian Exile
BY the Associated Press

DATCHET, England. April IL.
-Exiled Prince Nicholas of
Yugoslavia, 26. was killed in an
automobile accident as he drove
through this Buckinghamshire
village early today.
The Prince was a cousin of ex-
King Peter and the younger son
of Prince Paul, regent for the
young King before World War II.
He also was a nephew of the
Duchess of Kent. the former
Princess Marina of Greece.
Prince Paul and his family
fled from Yugoslavia in 1941
after an uprising overturned the
government which, under his
regency, had yielded to Hitler
and MuSsolini and allied Yugo-
slavia with the Axis.
Prince Nicholas attended OK
ford University, where he took
flight training. Later he became
an acting pilot officer in the Royal
Air Force. Recently he had been
working for an oil company.
In 1852 he was briefly rumored
romancing with Princess Mar
garet. One London newspaper
voiced concern that the British
Princess name was being linked
with the branch of the Yugoslav
royal family, which the paper
held responsible for the "black
pact" with the Nazis.

An Editorial
He Knew

It was Lincoln's birthday. I
wondered what the name Abraham
Lincoln meant to a small boy I
know.
"My DEAR" I said, ''tell me. Who
was Abraham Lincoln?"
Without hesitation he answered,
''He was the friend of God"
''Why John, II said, ''truly, don't
you know who Abraham Lincoln
Was?"
Again without hesitation, and
looking me directly in the eyes, he
answered, 'Of course I know, he
was the friend of God"
The thought came to me that he
was thinking of Abraham the patri-
arch, founder of the Hebrew race.
Perhaps he had learned of the great
Abrahamic Covenant at Sunday
School. Yes, Abraham Lincoln, too,
was man of simple faith. His
name suggests to us-strength of
character.
I felt rebuked. Surely Honest
Abe was the friend of God.-Twila

The Beaver
By BERNICE JENNISON

ON A SMALL FARM in central
North Dakota there is an engineer
ing masterpiece built by a family of
beaver.
No one knows where they came
from, for a beaver has not been seen
in this area for over so years. It is
a strange sight to see a beaver dam
in a prairie country.
The beavers built the dam to stop
the flow of water from a spring sew
eral hundred feet up the coulee.
Cottonwoods and willows growing
along the coulee provided material
for construction.
The dam is 100 feet long, 10 or II
feet high, making a pond 100 feet
wide, 200 feet long.
Mrs. Tommy Beaver and her fam
lily lived in a little dugout on one
side of river. Her cousins, the Jack
Beavers lived on the other side.
Many times they wished they had
settled on the same side for, busy
with family affairs, it was seldom
they saw each other. The mama
beaver would have liked to exchange
recipes for bark pudding or asked
advice when their babies had the
collie.
They had often said, eff we only
had dam across the river" But old
Grandpa Beaver had shaken his head
saying the river was too swift and
deep. Grandpa was very old, eye
sight failing, his teeth not too good,
but he was very wise. What he said
was accepted, so they had become
resigned to things as they were.
Now Tommy Jr. was much en-
amoured of his cousin Lucy and
often swan over to whisper ''sweet
nothings'' into her willing ear.
They decided to start a home o.
their own and with this in mind, sale
goodbye, setting out to find a gooc
location. They travelled up the river
After several days, they still had no
found place that suited them.
They kept on, crossing over low
divide, finally arriving at a small
lake. They found no timber, con
tinued down a creek for severa
miles, then through another lake
Still, no timber. Disappointed, dis
couraged, they continued on, through
lakes and down creeks.
Suddenly, they saw the cotton
woods and willows by small stream
and felt that this was it. Their home
Tommy said First, we must builc
a DAM"
'But don't we need plans" sal,
Lucy. ''The two-legged people us
plans in building their dams, so Nv
heard"
Tommy grew quite indignant. an
people were building dams befor
the two-legged people were born.
They were young and eager, S
with their sharp teeth they began t
cut down the willows and cottor
woods into short pieces, draggin
them into the water, mixing niue
cementing them together, pilin
them higher and higher.
Then, with winter fast upon then
their food stored and ready, the
settled down in their home to raj:
