______________ _ * BRISBANE THIS WEEK Choses Vnes Furs, Conscience-Prooi J Caterpillars and Weeds Wise Generosity An able Frenchman, long since dead, wrote about choses vues ? "things seen." There arc still many things to see and hear, although there is nobody to write about them as that old Frenchman wrote. At the- head ot the London Times' "personal column," some one pays to print this impressive extract from the Psalms: ''Seek the Lord, and His strength. seek His face everrhore. Remember his marvelous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth." You spend a moment wondering' j what kind of English man or worn- j an, strong in faith, decided to put j thai text before statesmen that to- j day seek the "face" of Hitler, Mus- i soiini, Stalin, but forget the greater ! power of the Creator of those gentle- j men. i After that, you read in the same Times this advertisement: Furs humanely obtained that can be worn with a clean conscience ?full particulars from Maj. C. Van Der Byl, Wappenham, Towcester." This being an ingenious and doubtless quite sincere appeal to the ten- = der-hrarted Englishwoman who does ? not like to think that the fur around I her neck once belonged to an animal that suffered for days and perhaps B weeks tortured in a trap. J Possibly the best, way to "obtain furs humanely obtained that can be worn with a clear conscience" is to bp and wear some of the innumerable iurs, from rugged bears to silky chinchilla made from the skins of rabbit# that are nourished in little hutches in the suburbs of Lre the services started. In a setting of flowers given by Uim-roua of the city's labor unions, fiends and the family, the Rev.; 'red W. Shorter of the Church of ie People preached the funeral scrum. ''Marion Zioncheck was a casualty 1 a war greater in magnitude and ignificance than the World war. eterans of which found in him their est friend," Mr. Shorter said. Repeats List Words "His very last words revealed the assion of his young life. 'I have ried,' he said, 'to improve the conition of an unfair economic system lat holds no promise?even a decent Itance to survive, let alone live.' "He was a sensitive man who took fe seriously. He took it so seriusly, indeed that it crushed him." 10BINS0N, BORAH MAINTAIN LEADS Lrkansas Senator Ahead Three-1 to-One In Early Returns; Idahoan Far In Lead. Senator Joe T.
