Act now! 71-45 Recently I hired a carpenter to make a new set of drawers for the old desk in my study. "Nothing fancy," I instructed him. 'If they fit and don't fall apart, that's good enough." A few days later I stopped at his workshop to see how he was progress- ing. He had finished two of the draw- | ers, both precise and beautiful speci- | mens of skilled workmanship, and was working on the back panel of a third. | Watching him, one would have thought that his life depended on the perfec- tion of that part alone. "Why take so much trouble with something that won't be seen?" I asked. "Who'll ever know the difference?" He straightened in surprise. I will."'--Paul Churcher. "Why, Read The Mirror 'Ads'. Mirror Short Story Not In The Book By MART COLES CORP. JIMMY KELLER walked briskly over to Sergeant Dikes. Now was the time to ask him, and even if the answer was no, well, you couldn't get ruled off for trying. Maybe all those hash marks on the sergeant's left sleeve didn't mean that he was as tough as most of the boys thought. € Jimmy was twenty-two, and a cor- poral of just three weeks. His blue denims bagged at the knees. Ser- geant Dikes' uniform fitted him like the bark on the bluegum trees of the hillside where the artillery de- tachment was located. His face was rugged and bleak. "T've been thinking, Sergeant, that the boys would be happier and do better work if we fixed up the camp a little.' "As how?'"' The older man's gray eyes roved over the scattered pup tents, the neat piles of barrack' bags, and back to Jimmy. "Looks er, What's the matter with i 27. Jimmy gulped. Maybe it was dumb after all. The boys had said that the Sergeant would mow him down. But he would make the at- tempt anyway. "What I mean is, the boys have nerp © go aneaa.-- "If the old man doesn't like it he'll break you back to private," said Sam Johnson. "Make it. an order, Jimmy," brightly suggested somebody. "Then if the brass hats don't like it we'll be in the clear.'? Jimmy joined in the laugh that followed. *"'Let's. go,'"? said Sam Johnson. "But remember, if there's a beef, you take it." "Tl take it," said Jimmy. He looked at the chevrons on his sleeve. Six months to earn those two bits of cloth, and now he might lose them! _The material arrived the next day. The obliging landowner had driven his truck to the lumber yard and delivered it himself with eight large horseshoes, just the right size and} ~ weight to pitch. By sunset the rough table, two benches and four chairs were finished and placed. Stakes had been driven and two horseshoe courts marked out. At four p. m. two days later, most of the boys were off duty until seven. Three sat at the table writ- ing letters. Sam Johnson and oth- ers were on the courts. All the chairs were occupied. Jimmy had just re- jpacked his bag when he heard a ------_------ eB Friday, July 20, 1945 'THE STRATFORD MIRROR Just Among Ourselves A regular department conducted for Mirror readers by Ina St. John. A CHANGE OF HEART Dear Miss St. John: Just thought I'd write a line today. I have no young people in my home, but my brother has a house full. I always urged them to keep away from jitterbugging. It seemed too aw- ful to think of my nieces making a show of themselves that way -- or my nephews either, for that matter. Well, Miss St. John, I was trapped there one night recently. My sister was away and I promised to serve lunch for the crowd. They went right ahead and danced, especially jitterbug dancing. Well, believe me, I changed my mind. It is no more objectionable than the good old square dances I loved, so to sort of make up for all the talking I've done against this pas- time I am sending this letter. Hoping you find room for my letter, best wishes-- AUNT RAY. Answer: Thank you, Aunt Ray, I'm sure the young people will appreciate your letter. Seeing is believing. INA ST. JOHN. A HARSH PARENT Dear Miss St. John: When our baby cries in the night my husband slaps her. I don't like it, for she is not a strong baby, but I think he has a right to punish his own child. :The people in the next apart- ment threaten to phone the police if LOOKING AHEAD Dear Miss 8S. John: What do you think people will do this winter? There's very little fruit or vegetables; meat will be scarce and sugar and butter rationed. It certain- ly looks like a bad year -- coal scarce, too. MR. AND MRS. Well, Mr. and Mrs., the Good Book tells us 'There shall be seedtime and harvest." We are still one of the most favored countries in the world. ; We must not be like the woman who worried herself into a fatal heart at- tack because, she had no provision for her old age. Answer: INA ST. JOHN. He Worked For His I was sitting in a Wisconsin railroad station one day when I noticed a rag- ged little boy about ten years old with the dirtiest hands I've ever seen. He came striding into the station and walked straight to a telephone booth. A second later he popped out and went to another. I asked him what he was doing. "Got a route," he grinned. '"There's lotsa nickels left in the phones, and I've made fifteen cents so far today. Found a quarter yesterday." I fished into my pocket and flipped him a quarter. He snatched it out of the air, then gravely handed it back to me. "Thanks, but I earn my money."--Rod Van Every. Milk Is The Best Food Source Of Calcium Dr. F. F. Tisdall, Sick Children's Hospital, Toronto, consultant on nu- trition to the Royal Canadian Air Force, has stated: "Our greatest sources of calcium are milk and milk products. To get an adequate supply, adults should con- sume each day close to a pint of milk, while the growing child who is form- ing new bones should take a pint and a half of milk." In the Canadian Dietary Standard of the Canadian Council on Nutrition there is a valuable description of the nutritive value of milk: "Milk is a rich source of calcium, phosphorus and a good source of thia- min (vitamin Bl). Milk fat is an im- portant source of vitamin A. Milk also supplies animal protein, fat and carbohydrate."
