Straus, J. O. Wells, W. M. Shaw, H. E. Newbury, Armistice Day Shortly after 11 a. m. on Armistice Day the President of the United States accompanied by high military person nel will ride along a tree-lined avenue in Alexandria, Va., to the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There ceremonies will be held commemorating the armistice of 1918, which concluded hostilities between Germany and the Allied powers. Similar ceremonies will be held in Westminster Abbey in England and under the Arc de Triomphe in France. This year these three nations will honor the dead of two World Wars. As we approach Armistice Day, 1946, even the over- optimistic realize that all is still not well in the world and more than one veteran who served in World War II won ders if his sacrifices were sufficiently appreciated by those at home. Yet if we trace the history of all wars and com pare this Armistice Day with the period following the 1918 armistice, there is much that can be written on the credit side of the ledger. Today leaders of both major political parties in this country realize that the United States must take its place in world politics and that it will be necessary to keep oc cupational forces in vanquished countries for some years to come. Although the conferences with Russia and the disturbing situation in the Balkans do not point to perma nent peace, recent statements by Stalin would seem to in dicate that the Russian people are no more anxious for war than are the people of our own country. oGo Thanksgiving . . . Circa 1946 America, land of plenty, looks ahead gratefully to an other Thanksgiving in the face of shortages, substitutes and other difficult situations. The observance of this holiday cannot be dampened by these material problems when we compare them with the high spiritual values that mean so much to us all today. William Bradford and his small band of colonists went through untold hardships to settle Plymouth in the 1620’s, but with the aid of the Indians and with faith in God, they were soon able to set aside a day of thanks, a precedent followed by us through the centuries. Today we are grateful for our right of free worship, no matter what our race or creed, and we pray that this heritage will be ours for centuries to come. War and pri vation may bring suffering in the material sense, but we are sure that our basic spiritual ideals will always be the same. On this Thanksgiving, 1946, let us, as Ecustans, thank God for the right to express and protect these ideals! oOo Nothing gives such a blow to friendship as detecting another in an untruth.—Hazlitt. oOo A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.—Bovee.' oOo Correction does much, but encouragement more. En couragement after censure is as the sun after the show er.—Goethe. oOo Let us not say that every man is the architect of his oy^n character.-—Poftrdman, The Poet’s Comer Beneath The Pisgah “The reader who is illuminat ed is, in a real sense, the poem.—H. M. Tomlinson. Song Of The Roofless The honey bear sleeps in a tree, Each birdling has its nest. And every fish within the sea Has place, though damp, to rest The groundhog has his private hole Deep in the dark earth’s gloom, The fragrant skunk, the groping mole Are not without a room. The swarthy gypsy pitches tent Beneath the starry sky, And so, unless we find a rent. Must you, my love, and I! —Frances M. Miller Undeniable Claim My grandfather set these gnarled trees Many years ago, And now their bloom commemo rates His name; their seasons know His whereabouts upon the wind, His presence' in the snow. Printed forever in the winding lane. His homing footsteps bring him back at night To fill the mangers with recurrent grain, To gild the barn’s dim bones with lantern light. This land is his—no other tenant now Can dispossess him with a deed, a plow. —John Robert Qunn. Friendship Oh, the comfort—the Inexpres sible comfort of feeling safe with a person, Having neither to weigh thoughts, Nor measure words—^but pouring them All right out—just as they are— Chaff and grain together— Certain that a faithful hand will Take and sift them— Keep what is worth keeping— And with the breath of kindness Blow the rest away. —Dinah Maria Mulock Craik. Sufficient Unto The Day A little girl is a lovely thing, With eyes that shine and hair that flies, And a tongue that runs both wild and free At the wondrous, wondering age of three. It’s what’s this, mother, and what is that, And does a rabbit wear a hat, And when will Dolly be tall as me, And do the potato’s eyes really see? And is the sky high, and what is rain, And do mice talk, and do bears have skin And what is out, mother, and what is in? A little girl is a precious thing. With hair like wind and tongue as fleet, And, oh, the miracle Just to be The marveloui, marveling age of thretf —Celit Kttoio.
