THE COLONEL'S SON is in nurs ery school, and “Teacher” is being courted by a young lieutenant un der the Colonel’s command. When the Colonel saw the lieutenant reading a letter from the nursery school, he inquired if there was a message from his son. “Yes sir,” replied the lieutenant, glancing uncomfortably at his fel low officers. “You haven’t delivered it,” said the Colonel. “What was it?” “I’m—I’m not sure I ought to de liver it, sir,” said the lieutenant, his face turning very red. “Certainly you ought,” said the Colonel. “Go ahead." “Then, sir, here is a gwate big hug and a gwate big kiss just for you!” *-O A LETTER FROM G. M. H.: . . . We went to hear Dean Landis, of the Harvard Law School . . . He spoke on the seriousness of the war situation, saying "It’s not necessary to delude the children,” and “Children are less afraid than we think” ... He said we should talk to the children about priori ties, and that we should teach children to accept deprivation gracefully. We should teach them obedience, he said, so that there would be less panic if it became necessary to move large numbers of people. He advocated less prej udice in the home, less anti-semi tism, etc. • . » so that children would learn tolerance and be less apt to hate ... He advocated cel ebration . . . national celebration . each December fifteenth, for the Bill of Rights ... 150 years old now . . . with a thorough un derstanding of what it means to us . . . ■ - Q IN GREENSBORO several Yankee soldiers were explaining why they liked southern hospitality. The best thing about it, they said, was the hottuns. When asked what they meant by that, one said "Well, we don’t know what they are, but they’re passed all during the meal, you eat ’em with butter, and the hostess always says "Do have a hot ’un!” —0— A LITTLE GIRL whose nickname was “Squeaky” came home from school with the news that she had a new teacher whose first nan?# was worse than hers . . . Teacher s name was louse. “Louse?” questioned her moth er. “I’m sure you're mistaken. How does she spell it?” “L-O-U-I-S-E, louse!” said the child triumphantly. —o— ANOTHER THIRSTY WOMAN: The story of the girl whose thirst led her to eat the Easter eggs re minded B. W. of another thirsty woman. This one was visiting at Nag's Head. She had spent the day in blistering sunshine, had re ceived a severe sunburn, and had taken several drinks in the hopes of dropping off to sleep. She woke in the middle of the night, very thirsty, and reached over the bed side table to find a container ol water that she remembered seeing there. It was too much trouble tc turn on a light, and since sh< found the container without dif ficulty, she drank the water anc went back to sleep. Next morning she opened her eyes and gazec with pained surprise at the con * tainer. Then she shrieked. Her hostess rushed into the room. “Elizabeth!” shrieked the guest “How many goldfish were in thal bowl last night?” “Two,” replied her hostess “Their bodies are resting in the bottom of the bowl. “Thank God," said the woman reverently.
