YOU The night is deep, Dark and blue; And all the while I dream of you. The stars slip out ~ Two by two, And watching them, I think of you. The day was sweet; Fresh as dew; And all day long I thought of you. I climbed a hill, And from' my view I saw a church -- I prayed for you. The sun sank low In wondrous hue And in its glory I pictured you, Now night is here; God's love is new; Yet above it all I jong for you. AN ATHEIST Dear Miss St. John: I am in love with an atheist and he | returns my love and wants me to | fomen: i «ec marry him. He is a prosperous man, and aside from his creed he is a very fine man. I am a church member, but I want to marry my lover. Am I doing wrong? ANNE. ANSWER -- There are. different viewpoints for your problem, Anne. But there is always the inevitable future to consider. Suppose children come to bless your home, A father has a right to pass on his convictions to his children. Would you like to have your children taught the atheist belief? Of course your lover will promise you freedom of religious conviction. But could you expect him to feel the Same about his children? You should consider the matter from every angle before making your final decision.

If you can't be a brush, be a bit of the grass, Some highway to happier make; If you be a bass-- But the liveliest bass in the lake! We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew, There's something for all here; There's big work to do and lesser to do, And the task we must do is the near. If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail; If you can't be a sun, be a Star, It isn't by size that you win or you fail-- Be the best of whatever you are.

COMMITTEE NAMED TO CONSIDER ACTION U. of Saskatchewan Dean Tells Ad- vantages of Shipping Dress- ed Beef TORONTO, Nov. 23 (CP)--Dean A. M. Shaw of University of Sas- katchewan told the annual meeting of the associate committee on Agri- culture of the National Research Council here that dressed forms of Canadian beef, fresh killed, would find a market in the United King- dom without entering into com- petition with the regular trade in frozen meats.
