"Well," he said, glancing up at the tree, "I own this hotel, you know--"" "Hotel? Knarf. "It's a tree to you, but it's a hotel to almost everyone else. It's called the Garden View Lodge. Lodge," he said, "is the same as hotel except that it's generally in the country. Anyway, I have room for rent. Not rooms, but room. And folks from every- where keep coming here, trying to get room." "What folks?" asked Hanid. "All kinds," said Squire Squir- rel, "Now the Garden View Lodge is a big place, as you can very well see for yourselves. There's room at the top, and room in the middle, and room on the ground floor, and even room in the cellar. But there isn't enough room for everyone who wants to live here! "I've got the Robins living here, It's a tree," said "Ive been "getting no rest at] all these days" he finally ex-| plained, : "Why not?" Hanid asked, "Is Sy ine Sri] Dukel and the Wrers; and tlie Thrushes. I'm living here myself with my family. My aunt and uncle and cousins live here. Ive got Owl living here inside the trunk, And the.

"And then," continued Squire Squirrel, "to add to all my trou- bles (as though I didn't have enough to begin with!), I get folks coming here whom I would not have, living in Garden View Lodge even if I had room for them, which I haven't." "Who?" asked Hanid. "The cat-folks . . . the regular cats and their relatives with the same kind of name: the caterpil- lars." Knarf was about to interrupt to tell Squire Squirrel that cats weren't related to caterpillars, But Squire went right on: "I won't have them. The cats eat up my other tenants, and the caterpil- lars eat up my leaves." Squire Squirrel sighed. "No one knows what a job it is to run the Garden View Lodge."

Bach box was beauti- fully wrapped and wonderfully made (the rapidness with which the lunches were sold was mirac- ulous)- and with every lunch sold went two cokes, one for the cus- tomer and the other for the clever creator of the lunch, Many new acquaintances were made, no doubt. And through the engen- uity of our council we have now sent $20 to the Save the Children campaign, but $20 is a fraction of what those poor children need to live over in Europe and are ap- pealing for much more, so don't let them down and lend a help- ing hand. On display for the first time last Thursday at the dance were the Teen Town badminton troph- ies and believe me they're beau- ties. Get practicing kids and remember if you are stuck for a place to practice, you can use Teen Town providing' there is someone to take the responsibil ity of looking after the hall. As you know, Friday night there will be no Teen Town to make way for the high school At Home, but we made up for it Wednesday, and next week Tl tell you about our Bunny Bump, So long.
