the Rambler had reason to
reflect that a pedestrian is an
unnecessary hazard. Some

walks shoveled despite the
Illustration Of drifting snow.
But in general he had to walk

that, If an approaching car,

would not have time to Jump.
The air was invigorating.

Of these charges We have been hurt to realize that
many people apparently feel the movement itself, as
well most of its leaders, tarred with the same
brush as the offenders.
We have been frustrated in our attempts to get
across to the public the great truth OF our movement
That 1t Is simply, anhonorabe effort by workers to
improve their lot-in the best Judeo-Chrstian
tradition
The Bible is packed with powerful support for
such movement. 1t is therefore reassuring in these
troubled times to read those holy words.

THERE is NO ADVAN-
TAGE in being considered
essential. The Rambler, who
is not essential, even in a
crisis, would much rather
sleep at home.
But despite all its comforts,
including the sound effects,
he was becoming a little
bored yesterday afternoon
when he was addressed by
Mrs. Rambler in a peremp-
tory tone.
"The time has come" she
said, when you had better
stir your Stumps and provide
this household with some
food. Here is a small shopping
list. Stick to 1t.
This is no time to indulge
your liking for thick Del
monico steaks with the gas
bill mounting every few
minutes. I've heard you say
that you consider creamed
Clipped beef quite a delicacy.
Suppose you pick up a
package"
No head of the household
would respond with more
vigor to such a basic chal-
lenge than the Rambler.
Use of the car was out. He
had tried to start it earlier
in the day. But water ap-
parently had leaked into vital
gears and frozen. No go.
Use of the buses was sug-
gested, and a schedule To-
Gated. He Scorned that.
They couldn't be running on
schedule. but they were
But what to wear? His top
coat had proved utterly in
adequate at the height of
the storm. The very worn
Burberry ulster from a
northern cline had been
given to a charity drive and
not replaced. A coat like
that is not considered nee
eSsary in this climate.
