That will be fun." . He scampered through the tree tops and over to the big hollow chestnut tree which is the home of Bobby Coon and listened at Bobby's door. Yes, Bobby was there and he was asleep. Chatterer stuck his head inside. "Wake up! Wake up you ileepy head' This Is no time to be in bedt" He shouted in his shrillest voice. Bobby stirred uneasily, for he was not yet in that sound sleep with V-Mail Hat Advutage; It Can Hardly Gel Lott A striking example of how V-Mafl has come to be known as the safest method of transmitting mail overseas in war time was revealed by the army postal service. Recently, with winter weather conditions preventing regular west bound airplane flights between the British Isles and the United States, it became necessary to dispatch from Englqpd 72 rolls of film carrying 115,200 individual V-Mail letters on a United States merchant ship. A victim of enemy action on the high seas, this merchant ship was forced into a neutral European port tor extensive repairs, and it was impossible to make immediate arrangements for the dispatch of the 115,200 V-Mail letters to Die parents, relatives and friends back in the United States. As soon as word was received by the army postal service that this vessel had put into port for repairs, the rolls of V-Mail on board were reprocessed at the V-Mail sending station in England and dispatched by a subsequent fast ship sailing for the United States. This was made possible by the system of numbering each V-Mail roll and not destroying the original letter until the film has arrived at its overseas destination, which m this case was the United States.. , « "V.'W - s-- Shoes Polished With Flowers > A vegetable found growing in New, wii> hit- Hume Vl „C1 aiarer wllu John Blomgren and Mrs. • George brother-in-law, -Mr. and Mrs. Arthur on Mrs- Klein. .|r0hn Blomgren at the Illinois Masomc ] The infbnt son «f Mr. and Mrs. (last Wednesday.

With the winter months behind, your home may be due for a coat of paint. Surface dirt should be brushed off with a wire brush, then wipe off with rag. Blisters should be scraped. ' Dark Woodwork Question: The woodwork in my house is oak, finished quite dark. 1 wish to paint it ivory, semi-gloss. How should I go about doing this? Answer: For the best job, remove the present finish with varnish remover, which will soften the finish enough to be scraped off. Clean off all traces of the remover with benzine-- behig very careful of fire. Sandpaper, wipe off dust and then refinish with two undercoats of ivory and the semi-gloss enamel.

It just happened to hit; Bobby on the end of his nose, for he had uncurled enough to look up to see what all the fuss was about. Right away he lost his temper, which was just what Chatterer hoped for. He growled and he snarled and he told Chatterer that he would eat him alive. He even climbed up and stuck his head ofrt of his door, all the time grinding his teeth in the fiercest and most unpleasant way. Chatterer fairly shrieked with glee, and threw bits of bark at Bobby. All the time dust, apply a sealing coat of shellac-- thinned half-and-half with denatured alcohol--and then one undercoat of ivory, to be followed by the final coat of enamel.

Answer: If the tray is made of War Booms r-- With the construction industry straining to turn out the required army and navy installations and war production facilities, new construction activity reached 13.6 billion dollars in 1942, the department of commerce announced. Construction expenditures during the year were the highest on record, exceeding the 1941 total by 2.5 billion dollars. All emphasis in 1942'was placed upon construction necessary to the war effort. Due to an almost insatiable demand for cantonments, air bases, ship ways, and other types of war j construction, military and naval | construction alone totaled 5 billion j dollars in 1942, as compared with : 2.1 billions a year earlier. In addi-1 tion, new industrial facilities valued j at 4 billion dollars were constructed j in 1942, almost double the 1941 flg- j ure. The vast amount of new plant; capacity built during the year is' suggested by the fact that the total j of industrial construction in 1942 j alone exceeded the total for Hie whole decade of the 1990s.
