Upper leather in children's, loggers' and.cowboy boots will frequently outwear several pairs of soles, and these types of footwear cannot be efficiently repaired without the use of full leather soles. Release of leather for such repairs will effect a saving by lessening the demand for new footwear j:nd cutting costs to the consumer.

Our Verse-- "Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace." --Whittier. Our Sermon-- It is David Grayson who tells of an old German gardener who sat at eventide among his roses in order to achieve serenity of spirit. "When you are quiet" he would say, "then help comes to you." There is no joy, no beauty, no happiness, for any one of us apart from an inner serenity of ispirit. Dr. Fosdick has said, "If a man is going to help lift the world he must have some solidity within him to lean his lever on."
