The loss of the lovely coral comb belonging to the sea princess and the various hands through which it passes before it comes back to her, or the three poor brothers who get their heart's desire from the beggar they befriend and what happens when riches makes two of the brothers greedy, are highlights. Here is a wealth of material for story tellers, tales that will linger with the reader and the listener, stimulating the imagination of both. "TYEE'S TOTEM POLE" by Terry Shannon Tyee, a Haida Indian Boy, lives in Southern Alaska. His greatest dream is to carve his own totem pole. He learns the art of carving by deligently working on cooking boxes, dishes, paddles, and his canoe, even when other boys beg him to come and play with them. After an ^exciting struggle, Tyee catches the first salmon of the Run, a great honor, which gives him the right to carve his own Totem Pole. WTien the pole is finished, there, is .a Potlatch and Tyee's Totem Pole stands with the others in the village.

"Basketballs for Breakfast" by Alice Sankey Fiction - Junior Basketball was everything to Larry Haney. As time for tryouts for the school . team neared, Larry felt sure that his chance of being chosen was strong. Right at the moment when everything depended on top performance, Larry blistered his foot. That was bad enough, what made it worse was having that throbbing foot deliberately stepped on. Maybe Larry should have explained why fists flew, but he didn't. He accepted the fact that he had lost a place on the team. It looked like no more basketball. Then opportunity came, only it didn't look like much. Playing with a bunch of little kids at the "Y". But it is funny about opportunities. Sometimes you're getting ready for the big one when you least suspect it. That's what Larry learned, and it was thrilling to discover his own hidden strength. This fast paced but easily read story has all the good writing and know-how an experienced newspaper woman cgjji give it, especially when she hcs' had a son who dreamed nothing but basketball.

William T. Larkin, superintendent of the j Agriculture ^Department's Division of Plant Industry, explains that when Milky Disease germs, or spores, are spread upon the land they enter into and live in the soil for long periods. The Japanese beetle eats the spores and contracts the disease,t thereby inducing it into the entire population of beetles within the given area. As each beetle dies, more spores are left in the ground, multiplying the number of disease spores from the origin-al_ number very rapidly and by many millions. The disease is, therefore, self-perpetuating. welcome at the Bible School Which will be from'9 a.m. to noon. N O T I C E The office of DR. JOHN T. GRAY, Optometrist, at 1236 N.
