The foot came from the length of a human foot; the yard was the expression of the distance from the nose to the tips of the fingers, with the arm extended; the inch was the length } of the central section of the thumb. A mile was a thousand paces, and ; the rod was the width of four oxen abreast. A midget can’t ex tend his arms as far as a giant, so such units have had to be standardized. - • • • Cowboys, pioneers, and early settlers should be interested to know that the historic Oregon, T—rl, main route for early west-' v*. d migrants, was ground flve| f*"*t deep in solid limestone near* Guernsey, in eastern Wyoming. ’> .... v • v ' ■ ■' • Nautical note: A yacht is a sailing vessel of any length overt 30 feet used for racing or for* pleasure.

P BLACK-OUT RELIEF I ty Mory Jo Ericson — —■" 1 INKY blackness —a dark that I ■■■ nothing seemed to pierce—that seemed to get right, into your very heart—and make it feel heavy and lost and forlorn—a nlghTtFaTField more terrors than the worst Lon don fog—that seemed to hold hor rors lurking on all sides. Bodies pressed together in a tightly packed train—strangers brushing shoulders with strangers— even friends’ faces looking black and hostile in the unlighted car as the train slowly pulled into Union Station, London, one Spring night in 1941. It wasn't only the feeling in the car—it was the thought pressing all about them of disembarking—of finding their way through blacked oyt streets—too. in mapy eases, strange hotels. How were they go mg to get there? How to know if j the direction they took would lead , them safely to their destinations? ! Like an answer to their SOS came a man’s voice on the station platform: “May 1 take any of you to your destination? I know these streets. I have lived here all my life. I can take you anywhere you want to go.” Eager voices answered—eager bodies pressed forward, jostling and pushing to b« there first—to ba the one he would succor. Calmly he sorted them out by destinations—told the others to wait till he returned. He would take whoever Wished to his des tination that night. ! And so all night Jong he trudged through the streets his cane reaching out before him to find the curbs—the turn in the road that he knew was there. “Be careful.” “Step down here.” “Watch your step.” “We go around this comer.” In single file they walked, when he had more than one, their hands, prisoner fashion, on each other’s shoulders. | And so the night passed—and one iptter another he led tfccxa «*&ly 1.

Stop by soon for a ride. I home, till dawn relieved him of his job. In the nights —and weeks—and months that followed, he became a l familiar figure—a legend to- trav elers-a voice in the dark that promised them a safe landing. They could not have told what he looked like. He was tall and thin.' Perhaps some pictured him in a Christ-like guise, if they thought at all. To others he was just a dis embodied voice —a promise that was kept. Many tried to press a coin into his hand, but hia voice had a smile as he said, “It’s all right, friend. This is my part. Send :t to the bd>s in the camps." It happened that after one more ihan usually strenuous night he wended his way slowly homeward. His faithful wife rose from her chair, took his arm caressingly, and pressed him down into it. Her tired body that had watched for, him all through the night suddenly! sprang to life—as though she were whole again —and the chilled blood was warming in her veins. Eagerly she scurried for his slippers, his pipe, and the tea she had brewed. She watched his head sink for ward-heard him murmur, “I'm so tired tonight—so tired. But, Ma tilda, so happy, too. Now—now— for the first time in years I feel I have my place back In the wopld. I feel young again and usefuL Use ful, Matilda dear!,. Do you hear that? I am of some use to my fel lowmen again.” { An exultant ring was in his weary voice. j “I know, John,” she whispered, “I know.” ' Oh, yes, she knew. They asked little of life, those two old people—, they had each other. But now, her* was something they hadn’t dared pray for—John was working again.' Oh, life was good to them. He had found a job he could still do. He could bring black-out relief to his 1 fellowmen—he who knew so well what a black-out was—he who had' been blind now for nigh on to Qv HKI. ». ; _ *_ J
