"Honor Shall Uphold the Humble in Spirit" If you walk through a wheat field that is ready for harvesting, you will notice some of the heads of grain are bent over and others are standing up- right. The farmer knows that full, plump heads of wheat are bent but the upright ones are light and half- filled. Greatness is accompanied by humbleness. '3 I crossed the Atlantic in 1942 in a flying boat. In the plane were a num- bér of passengers. Some were well- dressed people on important missions. One of the passengers was not so well- dressed as the others ; in fact, he wore grey flannels, a turtle-necked sweater, a topcoat and no hat. He seemed like an outsider, possibly a refugee who had lost everything. On the morning that the plane land- ed in Newfoundland he changed his old clothes for his uniform. He was wearing the D.F.C. and Bar and also the D.S.O. It was learned that he had flown Spitfires in the Battle of Bri- tain for more than two years and had brought down fifteen German planes This hero of the Battle of Britain was more willing to talk about his Job Printing with Quick Delivery LETTER HEADS ENVELOPES | STATEMENTS TIME' SHEETS BUSINESS CARDS || . : Stratford Mirror Press |] Tel. 115 123 Ontario St. ~ joeee.. : [ eC oe x tr | e Scott, Crane COMPANY INSURANCE - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS ee Phones--633. and 2413J 110 ONTARIO STREET Hydro Lamps 25 - 40 and 60 watt Inside frosted | ] 5c Each Hydro Shop sh most of whom had been shot down, and to the fighting qualities of indi- vidual German airmen.

ZEST IN LIVING Some women strain so hard to keep looking young they look old faster. keep young if it kills me" expression. well preserved. That healthy, vigorous grip on life means good food habits, to be sure, and some exercise to cancel the mid- the zest for living. Age is a process of wearing out and tearing down. The foods which fur- nish the material to make good this wear and tear and to promote the smooth functioning of the body will keep us younger longer. These are called the protective foods because they protect against the ailments that hasten old age. The list leads off with milk because of its high content of tent; fresh fruits, citrus; good protein in eggs, cheese and meat; whole grains for minerals and the B vitamins which have so much to do with the health of the ner- vous system. There must be a certain amount of exercise. One doctor has suggested that the joints be put through their complete range of motion every day and that it is an excellent plan and a very simple one. twisting, leg-swinging, knee-bending and knuckle-flexing covers that. Certainly, if you want to keep young keep your zest for living!

A MISTAKE Dear Miss St. John: About a year ago I borrowed a valuable book from a friend in another town. Right afterwards I was taken sick and for a considerable time I was unable to do anything. On my recovery I moved to a new house. In the rush of things I thought I had sent the book back. Recently my friend wrote saying she wanted the book and would I send it back? I was absolutely sure I had sent it. So I wrote in indignant haste, saying she was wrong, that Id sent it back: months ago. There was no doubt in my mind that I hadn't done so, My friend was very nice about it and said it must have been lost in the mails and to forget it. Recently, to my horror, I found the book in a box of old school books. Should I send it to my friend, who has probably purchased a new one, and open the whole trouble again? Or should I put the book away and forget it. I am tempted to do the latter. If my friend should think I'd been lying about the book I would lose her friend- ship, I know. Please advise me as to the best course. Sincerely, DUMB DORA. Answer: No wonder you are abashed by finding the book you were so certain you had returned, Dumb Dora. We are inclined to think you should have purchased another copy to replace the first when your friend wrote. You would not have had to own your mistake now. However, the best thing to do, is to send the book back immediately with a letter of apology and explanation. If you are frank and sincere in ex- plaining the mistake, we are sure your friend will understand. INA ST. JOHN. SERGEANT'S STRIPES Dear Ina St. John: My boy friend gave me a pair of sergeant's stripes to wear on my spring coat. It's just a beige gabar- dine coat. My folks, especially my young brothers, laugh at me for wear- ing them. Mother says it is cheap and silly. I don't want to hurt my boy friend's feelings. It's all right to wear them, isn't it? GOLDIE. Answer: Well, Goldie, we think your boy friend must have meant you to keep the stripes as a keepsake. He would know it's against military rules for a civilian to wear them. You wouldn't want to be conspicuous and embarrass him. INA ST. JOHN. These Old Shoes May last a long time after we have repaired them. We repair Rubbers and put on good Rubber Heels. GEO. WELCH SHOE REPAIR MATL ADDRESS Dear Miss St. John: My son and his wife live in a town where there is an Air Force station. He is in the R.C.A.F. I address the letters to their apartment but I al- ways put my son's number and rank to be sure. Now my letters are being delivered at the station instead of the street address. How can I prevent this occurring? LADY HAMILTON. Answer: Your son's rank and num- ber are not necessary if you wish your letters delivered to his home ad- dress. Mr. and Mrs, John Blank is correct. Letters giving rank are apt to be sorted to the military mail. INA ST. JOHN. MIRROR WANT ADS. | HEINTZMAN UPRIGHT PIANO with transposing keyboard.
