If Today Is
Your Birthday
By STELLA
THURSDAY, MAY 10—Bom to
day, your versatility and charm will
go a long way toward paving your
pathway to success. You are in
terested in a number of subjects
and seem to know how to do
things better than average. Your
judgment is good and you have
a discriminating mind. Consequent
ly, you are one of those few per
sons who may scatter their inter
ests widely and still become profi
cient in more than one career.
You are fond of travel; have areal
sense for news and would make a
fine foreign correspondent. You
enjoy life’s luxuries and yet you
know how to have a good time
without them! In other words, you
are able to take life as it comes
and enjoy all phases, taking the
bitter with the same good nature
mat you taKe tne sweet, wnne you
are rather emotional and at times
even moody and despondent, you
have learned to shake off these
depressions and look on the bright
er side of life This can help you
carve out the success which should
be yours. You are enough of an
individualist so that you are hap
piest when working on your own
rather than for other people. Hence
it would be wise if you selected a
career in which you can be your
own boss most of the time. Al
though you are more interested in
ideas than in muscle work, you can
settle down to back-breaking ia
| bour if a Job needs to be done.
: You always finish any Job you be
gin, despite any obstacles.

Sunday Is Mother’s Day
►
It takes oil kinds of people to win o war. It takes soldiers
and sailors, politicians and business men, farmers and
laborers, wives and sweethearts ... and MOTHERS. Mothers
because they are part of the force behind the fighting force
.,. because they wait for the peace that will send their sons
home to them . . . and because while they wait, they work.
In many ways their work Is as important as that of their
armed and uniformed sons. Theirs is the important job of
morale ... of keeping intact the American home. For to
day, os in other wars, the home remains the port of happi
ness and safety to which men turn first when the war is won.
Because they are unsung heroines of this war, let's make
Mother's Dax, May 13, one they will long remember. Be
cause of the look of hope in her eye, because of her smiling
courage, your mother this year is truly the "Lady of the
Hour." Let her know how proud you are of the job she is
doing. Remember to tell her... that you, like all Americans
everywhere, deeply appreciate all she means to you.
