By KATHLEEN NORMS OME time ago our town sent crat&s and crates of clothing to stricken Europe. Probably your town did, too. We stripped our closets of everything warm and wearable that we could spare, and of some things we could not spare, for the sake of shivering women and babies overseas. Our thanks come principally in the consciousness of a good deed well done, and the knowledge that many a shaken, forlorn mother is grateful to the God to whom she prayed for help, and whose ministers we were privileged to be. But sometimes a little trickle of personal thanks creeps through, too, and such a tribute came to me this week from an unknown friend in Poland, whose small daughters are wearing my granddaughters' coats this winter. This woman lived in America for several years, and writes in good English. She has one room in an almost • destroyed building, windows have recently been put back, she says, and running water is only a few hundred feet away. • • • "Water is such a miracle," says the letter. "And to have this wbole quiet room to ourselves seems to us a miracle, too. Food is scarce, but •thanks to the Quaker And-the Red Cross it is sure, and fear is gone. If yoy could know what it means qq| to be afraid! Kin Starved fa Death. "My husband, both brothers, my father, were starved to death, or died for the want of water. I hid With my children in the ruins of the tity for msny.wfcekS. Now all that is fever. Now vm walk tiw streets freely, we. can talk, we can make friends. Now t can get up early .and watch the sunrise, and stop in church for a few minutes. And now with spring beginning. What beauties on every hand! We have a jar of wild flowers, the hew potatoes are coming along, soon we will have beans and cherries -- every day some new delight. Someday, we say, we will live out on a farm, for the farms need hands, land } am familiar with dairy work. "In the old days," the letter concludes, "I wanted so much! My husband and I had a well-furnished flat, a car; I could buy china and clothes, there were dinner parties and wedding feasts. How fast it all vanished! Our home gone, our securities in the bank confiscated, Ipstrangers everywhere, my husband's job lost, himself a prisoner, and my dear father, who would so gladly have helped us, gone in |)is turn. There was no work and no help tor me, the wife of a patriot; we-begged, we starved, We crept out of sight. My younger child was born In a shed, with an old shepherd and sheep to keep us company 'in the bitter winter. *N§w we are so rich! Every little new home that is being built or rehabilitated seams to belong to me. The moon, shining down through the old trees, the church-bells ringing, the newly-plowed field--bow beautiful they all are! When I see work and restoration beginning again, and lights in houses, and hear women calling their children and laugh- TAKEN FOR GRANTED Even thm poorest Americans have much to be thankful for, compared to people in Europe and Asia. Such simplie things as water and plain food, a tight roof and some kind of heating, ore often difficult to 6btain over much of the war-devastated countries. Warm clothing is very scarce. Medicine is hard to get excepting where the Red Cross or some other agency has a station. All sorts of plain, everyday necessities are missing. It is particularly hard on women with young children. The story of a Polish woman is told in today's article. She had been accustomed to a luxury level of existence before the war. They had a fine apartment, a car, good furniture, money for' travel and social events. The war changed all this. Her husband, brothers and father are all dead . . ; they starved. She managed to survive by begging and scavenging in this ruined city. One child was born in a sheep barn. Now that hostilities have ceased, conditions are better, but there is still much suffering. She has learned to appreciate ordinary things rfrat all of us take for granted. Special vice George Steilen, labor on St*.. Frank Holt, 'sidewalks ............

Now I can say of our enemies of yesterday, as <ny poor father did, dying, 'forgive thent. They know not what they do!"! 1 *-•' • • This letter , has made me see my own environment with new eyes and has made m# wonder how much we appreciate the miracles that are all about us. Sunsets and sunrises, the glory of spring, moonlit nights in summer, and the first tinv id flutter of snow, these are all ours, if we will but claim them. Clea^r cold water, a snug roof over oyr head, books to read, meals--however plain--to enjoy, a smooth bed dt night and deep slee|>--let these things be taken away for a while, and we begin to know their value. Worry'over Trifles. "If we can see one meal ahead for the children we feel rich," said a French woman a few years ago. "We look no further ahead than that." And nere we Americans are, fussing about the cost of spring clothes, about summer plans, about the shortage of butter and mayonnaise, about the babies' college career hi the 1900s, about the lost letter and the embarrassing invitation, about the slowness of the dry cleaners and the non-delivery of the Didy Wash. The fundamental essential* of food, shelter, love, home, books, light, water, safety from fear, we take calmly for granted. It is worry about the non-essentials that keeps us from ever seeing the breath-taking beauty of sunrise, the light of cold winter sunlight on mow, the lilacs that begin to toss and blow in the spring wind. Our own quarrelsome, complaining, discontented voices keep us from listening for Shakespeare's rain that whistles in the April wind, or sharing the im mortal wine of Emily Digk^nsoa'a September. , Freesing Chicken is an economical food to freeze and very desirable to have on hand. First, choose a good plump bird. Even a fryerNdiould weigh around two and one-half pounds. Select a good bird-to begin with if you wish to have a choice frozen product. Next, semi-scald the bird, but be very careful that the water isn't ao hot that it pre-cooks the skin. Another precaution is the chilling. The bird should be .chilled thoroughly immediately after scalding. After chilling, it is ready to be wrapped in freezer paper and put in storage. ^ * Iran Diagonally Bias-cut slips and nighties should always be irbned with the thread of the material, that is on the diagonal of the garment.
