IN GOD'S HANDSW? The air-raid alarms wailed through the black streets of London and then, through flashes of red and gold flames,people could be seen scurrying into hasti- ly-constructed shelters.ln a near-by five-story build- ing, one which had not been shattered by the bombs, a man stood, pondering, at the window, looking down upon the grief-stricken people, as they searched frantical- ly for their loved ones in the smouldering debris. As he turned abruptly from his post, a feeling of deep e- mmmngdmwdhm,wMimUmihr WlwramihraH his brutal methods flamed up within him. These were his people! And they were being made to die horribly, all because of a fanatic in Europe. He must do some- thing. It was a bright, cold day in Berlin,and yet people were packed together in a thronging mob along the street. Atop the buildings lining the street, people waved brightly-colored flags. Tanks rolled noisily along the road, and soldiers marched while the crowds cheered them on. Then a murmur spread through the crowd, and necks were all craned in one direction. There was a thunder of applause and there he was, rid- ing majestically along the street, his hand raised in the Nazi salute. The other man looked at him with hate in his eyes, and as Hitler grew nearer, the former raised his small revolver, and took careful aim.He was not noticed, for everybody was madly waving his flag. Therman's hand quivered, and his face became white. He slowly hid his gun and walked dejectedly away. Was he afraid? Or did he realize that although he did kill Hitler, someone else, perhaps more of a madman, would come into power, and things would go on, just as they had been? It was in God's hands--he could do nothing. Brenda Dorf '41 '-- f FIRST SHAVE g I ,All day long,Johnnie Davis had been thinking about shaving. After all, he was sixteen! Even the girls had made fun of his fuzz , All the other fellows in his class shaved, so why shouldn't he? He planned it all. After supper the family would be in the living room,listening to a favorite program. Then he would stray out to the kitchen and accom- plish that most manly task, shaving. It worked out perfectly. The family was settled in the living room for the evening and the coast was clearnc Johnnie found his Dad's shaving needs in the medicine cabinet,and he set them all down on the small stand beneath the mirrored cabinet. He surveyed him- self before the mirror, so as to get a before and aftern look. Very quietly, he took a suspicious glance into the living room and found that nothing was amiss. The time had come. He would shave! J Johnnie prepared the lather and took a good five minutes in smearing it all over his face ..... and ears, too. He then took the razor and began to skim lightly over his face. Nothing happened. There was no blade! He hurriedly inserted one and began to shave again. Johnnie finished, with numerous cuts upon his face where thin red lines were beginning to show. How- ever,4he was filled with a wealth of satisfaction. He was a man. His face was sore, and so he freely applied his Dad's shaving lotion. Oooh, how that smarted! He wiped his face and looked in the mirror. The fuzz was gone ..... in places. He looked at himself from all angles. He was pleased. He would go into the living room and see if THEY noticed. With a deep breath of resolve, he walked into the living room, his ears still full of lather. Mr. Davis glanced up from his paper and looked at his boy.nDon't you think it's about time you shaved, son?N he said.
