Most of us were very pleased and felt a real thrill of satisfaction in a job well done. Mrs. Mclntyre congratulated us on the results of our written examinations. She told us that our First Aid Certificates would be here soon, and would be presented at a little program that we plan to put on for our mothers sometime next month. Monday night we met in Miss Larkin's room after school. After attendance was checked, Miss Larkin and Miss Bauer collected our First Aid Books and urged that the few remaining ones that are out be turned in as soon as possible, so that, we might return them to the owners. After that was done, Miss Larkin read us a Girl Scout story. We then went to the gym and had some relays headed by Lois Wiedman and Eleanor Schaefer as captains. Eleanor's team won the relays. We then played kick baseball until Mrs. Mclntyre came with our tests. Don't forget, Scouts, an important meeting next Monday night a^ter school!

"And I really do think," he went on, "that we're showing mighty good sense to make our pres ents practical instead of superficial until we're more on our feet. And now, dear," bending for a hasty kiss, "I must hustle or I'll be late." And two minutes later his ear roared out of the driveway. Half an hour later her mother walked in and found her weeping. "Well," inquired Mrs. Jarvis, not unduly exercised over the condition of her offspring, "what's the matter now?" "Samtnie," sobbed Susie, "g-gave me a washing. machine for my b-birthday present." "Goodness," said Mrs. Jarvis. "I thought you ^wanted one." "And a year ago he gave me a vacuum cleaner and last Christmas a robe for the car," wailed Susie. "Well?" interrogated her mother "patiently. "He-he said the washing machine would pay for itself in six-six months," wept her daughter. "He he said he got it with some extra money he'd earned. He-he didn't have to touch the savings account." "Well, of course that is bad news," was Mrs. Jarvis' dry comment. "I don't want my birthday present bought that way," howled Susie. "1 want him to walk and save car fare I want him to go without his lunches I want him to rob a bank. And then --then I want him to ta-take all that money and spend it on some glorious, beau-beautiful, utterly Useless thing for me. Not for the house or the yard or the car or for us. But for me!" And she subsided into the cushions of the davenport in a fresh outburst of tears. "You're just like your father," said her mother. "I remember once I didn't have a decent pair of shoes to my name and he went and got me an opal ring for a birthday present." "I th-think that was wonderful," insisted Susie stubbornly. "He probably went without something he really needed to get something really beau-beautiful for you." "I went without something I needed," corrected Mrs. Jarvis,' "and there's nothing at all wonderful about having your feet right on the ground. However, that's the way he was and that's the way you are, and I suppose you can't help it, though I will admit that giving a washing machine is carrying it a bit far. However," she concluded thoughtfully as she gathered up her gloves and bag, "he's given you What seemed to him the best kind of birthday present and of course you have the same privilege when it comes to him." With which Parthian shot she departed. Sammy's birthday two months later saw its flowering. The breakfast table on that momentous occasion was gay with flowers, There were honeydew melons and waffles. 4nd beside Sammy's chair stood an immense package done up in bright paper and gay ribbon. It must bf the fcolf bag he had wanted, Sammy thought with a quickened beat of his heart; the leather and canvas one with the zipper fastening. Wasn't Susie an old peach! He untied the bright ribbons and unwound the paper, and as the last wrapping fell away, there stood revealed in all its glory of sad and green paint--a lawn mower! "It's the best lawn mower on the market, and the clerk said it car ried a ten year guarantee," ex plained Susie briskly to a somewhat dazed looking husband. "He figured it out, and by your mowing the lawn yourself It will pay for itself in two years. And best of all, darling," she went on with enthusiasm, "1 didn't draw a cent out of the bank I saved it out of the household al lowance. And that," she explained happily, "is why we've been having stews and hamburger instead ol steaks and chops. Honey, you do like it, don't you? I knew you'd feel just as you did about my present, that it should be something useful." What could poor Sammy do? Exactly nothing. Nothing but assure Susie that life's one ungratified de sire had been the acquisition of p lawn mower! But the dazed look on his face was gradually beiii( -replaced by one of understanding Light was dawning. • • • On the happy occasion fef fttn Samuel Thornberg's twenty-fourtJ birthday, some months later, a ca> from the florist, in mauve and vio let, stopped before the door in tht afternoon, and a flunky in uniforn ran up the steps of the house with a box in his hands. It was a laven der box tied with a silver ribbon and when Susie opened it she fount a half dozen exquisite orchids. She gasped a bit at their fragile loveliness. Then lifting them cane fully, held them against her dres. and sighed in ecstasy at her mil rored reflection. "Well," she mui mured, "maybe he went a bit faa but anyway he got the idea." rk-W "YAHK8" OF PUBLIC JBRADE SCHOOL AKS > * SPONSORING DRIVE BOWLING NOTES ms:; J* PALACE The "Yanks," an eighth grade class club at the public grade school, is undertaking a scrap drive next Wednesday, April 14.

To keep Pantelleria from becoming a complete cork in the bottleneck the Royal Air force has repeatedly bombed the Axis base on the island in the past two years. Smaller than the District of Columbia in area, rocky Pantelleria rises to 2,700 feet above the sea.
