And yet while the days are cold and clear. Is yet, there much tc say, Why do we long for ' things that are dear, In such an odd and curious way? ■What will the world, do? Will she he sad and tearful? The stars in so glorious a hue. Will smile and he cheerful. Hazel Cook A7 1 THE IfORKIHC STAR hear little horning Star, How beautiful you are. Away off in the sky. Why must you stay so high? Each morn at break of day, I se 2 you fade away Gently the dawn creeps over the hills, Shedding soft lights along the rills Ear t her and farther you seem to go. But to what place, L ! d like to know. And, now that you are less entrancing, I look to see the sunbeams dancing a

Mother is always ready to sympathize with her chil- dren when they stumble or hurt their fingers, and never fails to send them out smiling. At night she cheerfully sings them to sleep or- tells them stories. In the morning when she gets them ready for school and fixes their lunch, after receiving their loving, gcod-by,e kiss, she watches them go down the street and thanks God for being able to be proud of them, ho clothes are appreciated more than those of mother’s make. You can always detect some extra work on them.. Such as a lace edging or neat tucks and ruffles. Often she must go without herself so that she might provide a new dress for her daughter, going to her first dance. Or she must go with- out something for herself sometimes, to buy a few Christmas gifts, and she always does it cheerfully. Marian Brazier A8 ’ Yl HAT WILL THE WORLD SAY?

This question is asked by many people who have not yet vitnessed a week-end in the forest. Camping, to me, is ’north while. It has its hardships, as well as its pleasures. Some people look only. for the hardships: such as lugging your food on your back; walking through mud that is knee deep; trying to make a fire in a sixty mile breeze; eating food that is full of ashes and dirt. Then night comes, to make your bed right on the ground Imagine that l Imagine also, trying to sleep with a rock, placed neatly in your back o rbe tween your shoulder blades; then after five ‘minute’s sleep, to be awakened by some (beastly rude) coyote rummaging through the empty tin cans. Camping is nothing like that. It is justashort retreat from civilization. It is wonderful at night to lie and gaze at the stars and listen to the steps or howl of some lonely coyote. A fe’ trips are bound to make anyone a lover of the great out-of-doors”. William Surges B9
