It is the word “home.” But homes were not invented in England or America; the ancient peoples of the world had homes even if they had no special word for them. The story of Ruth is a home-story, a family tale. It i comes from the times of the Judges, which were very rugged times in deed. To read the Book of Judges you would think that everything was plots and wars and murder. There j isn't a peaceful story in the book. And j then comes the story of Ruth, to remind us that even in those terrible times, there were happy people, peo ple who minded their business and :: :: i cl diomsL f&L yOLL OU!'

The bright spots in today's vast seas of misery are just wnat they were in Ruth's time. “A home is a place to go when ev- O'erything else has shut up” is no: ♦j a true proverb. For if that is ail i* 6 is, it is not a home. It is only a | boarding house and not a very at- i tractive one at that. To this day, there are fewer rii- ! vorces in the country than in me cities, and one big reason for that is that country families have to work together, while city families of ten have little in common. In the country eveiybody turns to and does something about the house, ‘every body helps everybody else; while in the cities where so much is done by machines and houses are very sma.i, there isn’t much a family can do together. Trail Blazing Bad Says Expert In Shade Tree 'Don'ts' Junior “hatchet men” on trail !• blazing expeditions are listed by a * 1 leading tree care expert among the things that shouldn’t happen to the trees. Martin L. Davey, Jr., head of the Davey Tree Expert company of Kent, Ohio, declares many trees suf fer from the thoughtless actions of campers and picnickers each sum mer. To help safeguard helpless arboreal citizens, he has issued the following list of ‘don’ts’ for nature lovers of all ages. 1 . Don’t hack the bark of trees playing “Indian games” or for any other reason. Even carving initials on trees may stop sap circulation and cause dead areas. These, in turn, are entry point/for deadly infection. 2. Don’t builch fires under over hanging branches or close to trunks of Tees. Scorching may cause de cline and even death of a tree.
