(Con't. from page 1, col. 3)

through you, the eighty-five
(85) gift boxes that they have
packed for the children in the

ped Friday and I'm sure will
bring lots of joy and happiness
to children who otherwise
would not have these gifts
without your generosity.

Sincerely yours,

Character, like emboidery,

Lyon, quoted in Ladies' Home
Journal.

There are two kinds of
people in the world: The think-
ers who never do anything, and
the doers who never think. Due
to the efforts of the rare inter-
mediate type, civilization has
survived.

Nothing is more pathetic
than the "someday" talk. Some-
day is never. Youth is the time
of possibilities. If you start liv-
ing when you are young you do
not arrive at middle age. You
remain young until you are old.

In 1904, a French scientist
named Benedictus dislodged a
bottle from its shelf in his
laboratory, and it fell to the
floor with a crash. It shattered,
but to the scientist's astonish-
ment it retained its shape. None
of the particles were scattered.
Benedictus remembered he had
been using collodium in solution
in this bottle. By some chance,
the solvent had evaporated,
leaving a skin of cellulose ni-
trate on the walls of the bottle.
A few days later, he read in his
newspaper of an auto accident
in which a young woman had
been seriously cut by flying glass.
The two events connected
themselves in Benedictus' mind,
and laminated safety glass was
the outcome.

COMMISARY
COMMENTS

Employees can now get cof-
fee from the dope wagon. We
are sure everyone is enjoying
this new service which was add-
ed recently.

First shifters are enjoying
having Leroy Reeves work with
them.

Oscar Stroud, who was out
for some time recuperating
from injuries he received an
automobile accident, has re-
turned to his job on the third
shift.

Now is the time to clean up
—and paint up! We have
plenty of outside white paint
for sale. We also carry grass
seed and the necessary tools for
gardening, so why not beauti-
fy your home?

We notice that Ray Dean
seems to be in high spirits since
he is ending the end of his
school career.

We are glad to announce
that the Commisary is prepar-
ed to give you refreshing, cold
soft drinks this summer as Mr.
Suttle has had the refrigera-
tor overhauled recently.

"Battling" Bayne, our third
shift "dope boy," is glad to be
one of the first dope boys at
Slater.

We have noticed that many
Comissary customers are
wearing glasses, which is an
asset to their appearance as
well as vision. Keep up the
good work, Mr. Reid.

In closing, we would like to
congratulate the Glee Clubs of
Slater-Marietta School on their
fine program at Slater Hall
Sunday night.

LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

The youngsters who attend
the library clubs are very en-
thusiastic over the recordings
called "Tuneful Tales" which
were recently purchased for the
library. These recordings are
both educational and entertain-
ing, and can be used advan-
tageously in the children's club
work. The recorded stories
just mentioned consist of the
following, each told with a
musical background: "The
Laughing Jack O' Lantern,"
"The Little Engine That
Could," "The Shoemaker and
the Elves, " "The Three Little
Pigs," "Johnny Cake," "White
Easter Rabbit," and "The Nut-
cracker and King Mouse."
_______________
Two of our Story Hour girls,
"Jackie" Clary and Carol Ann
Richardson, recently celebrated
birthdays. We hear that these
birthdays proved to be happy
ones, and we hope that each of
these little girls will enjoy
many more celebrations of this
kind.

"Jackie" was seven years old
on April 13. She is the young-
est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
W. Clary.

Carol Ann celebrated her
fourth birthday on April 3 by
entertaining a group of her lit-
tle friends. She is the daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Rich-
ardson.

the King," Schmitt; "The
King's General, Du Maurier;
"Peace of Mind," Liebman;
"Last Chapter," Pyle; "Plea-
sant Valley," Bromfield; "The
Life of The Heart," Winwar;
"All Our Lives," Miller; "The
Great Tradition," Keyes; and
"Glamorous Dolly Madison,"

Many of our readers are
taking advantage of these "best
sellers" and are thoroughly en-
joying them. If you are not

come to the library today and
select those of your choice? We
believe you will like them.

ly well given.

But the best number on the
program was "The Holy City"
sung by the Girls' Glee Club.
Many people siad they had
never heard this fine old song
given so well or in such a vivid
manner.

We are proud of the pupils
and their accomplishments, and
we are grateful to Miss Farns-
worth for arranging and pre-
senting this program.
