She made an especially nice lemon meringue pie for supper and Henry brought her a box of candy rather sheepishly. Everything was lovely once again at the Barton home. Bnt nothing more was said about tak ing the beantifnl trailer to Cali fornia. In fact. It was two days later that Henry broached the sub ject of Denver. ‘‘It would be fun,” Anne agreed. She was to the point of mentally packing suitcases when Henry made an unfortunate remark. "Boy, the fishing,” he said dream ily. "Guys have told me they really catch ’em in the mountain streams.” I go! Imagine every morning being forced to deliver last night’s dream to Martha to mull over. No! 1 wouldn't like the New England states now if they gave a bonus to every trailer arrivaL NO!” And that was that! In the week that followed they considered most of the V. S. as vacation possibility. If Henry made • suggestion, Anne had heard it rained there. If Anne suggested a state, Henry became positive his sinus would bother him. They almost decided on New Or leans until Henry remembered the miles he tramped there in army “Bnt the movies, Henry! Just think of seeing real, live actors.” She sighed blissfully and let the toast burn. training days and his promise to himself, “Never again.” The shiny nice trailer seemed destined never to be used. A NNE BURTON turned pale when she saw the telegraph boy at her door. But just one moment later she was rushing to the telephone. Henry was amazingly slow to under stand. She said it rapidly three times. "WE WON. WE WON, HENRY! THE TELEGRAM HERE SAYS SO. THE TRAILER COACH WILL ARRIVE . . .” Henry caught on then, "you mean we won first prize in that soap contest?” His voice was hoarse with excitment. "Henry Burton! That’s just what I’ve been telling you!” Henry muttered something that sounded like a combination of "Holy Mackerel” and "Jumping Catfish.” In the intervening days the Bur tons were told over and over that they were the luckiest people alive. Dozens of people asked the rhyme the Burtons had submitted and walked away shaking their heads, mumbling "not half as good as mine.” Anne was almost delirious the day the trailer coach arrived. It was everything the pictures had shown. Chrome, clear varnish, soft lights and gadgets galore made it a falrlyland palace. "The only trouble," Henry com plained, "is when I’m sitting inside gloating, I think of something out side I want to see. I never know which side of the door knob I’m after.” Eventually Anne made coffee and they tried to bring their chaotic thoughts to earth. Henry put his coffee cup down with a thud. "She will be the best trailer that ever sailed into Florida.” "Florida?” Anne paled. "You didn’t say Florida! Henry—no!” Henry had some difficulty getting a coherent account of the trouble with Florida. It developed that Anne's great aunt had been bitten by a rattlesnake while there in 1916. She had lived, but had reported there were dozens of snakes in Florida. Anne’s "I won’t go” was fervent. Henry reasoned that 1916 was sometime back, that the snakes must have been killed off and that he personally would guard her. In the end they decided they wouldn’t go to Florida. Over their breakfast cereal next morning Anne made an elaborately casual suggestion. "How about go ing to California?” Henry wondered if California guar anteed there were no snakes. Anne smiled sweetly “But the movies, Henry! Just think of see ing real, live actors.” She sighed blissfully and let the toast bum. Scraping the toast Henry inquired which actors she wanted to see. "Peter Lawford, of course,” Anne told him.' Her smile was radiant. "Not Cooper, Pock or Van John son,” Henry teased. “Oh, but they’re all married!” Henry spilled hi.* coffee comment ing, “Aren’t you?” It was different, Anne tried to as sure him. He should realize how she felt. Henry didn’t. Before he gave the front door a slam that could have been heard a block he growled that he wasn't going to California and moon over a lot of actors, even the unmarried ones, and that some people seemed to have never gotten over their swoon ing days. Six handkerchiefs later Anne ad mitted to herself, with reservations, that she might have said the wrong thing. Working around their home all day she wondered what had hap pened that their beautiful happiness He tilted back in his chair, “Imag ine tying on to a big one !” “Do you mean to tell me you’d spend our vacation fishing all the time!” Anne’s tone was icy. “Any time you think I’ll just go along for the ride! Denver—never!” Henry attempted to explain he wouldn’t fish all the time. But Anne's mind was made up. Shortly after that Anne’s sister, Martha, came to give the trailer her dignified once-over. Martha was secretary to a psychiatrist and had “ideas.” Her conversation dripped psychoses, split personalities and the subconscious. Anne was showing her around as Henry came in. Martha thought it a wonderful way to have a vaca tion. “Where are you going?” She asked. Feeling almost guilty — but why guilty!—Anne admitted that they hadn’t decided. Martha held forth on the New England states. She beamed at Henry as she told them she had al ways wanted to see the historical spots. She looked up at the celling as she related the dream she had the previous night. Using the doc tor’s pet terms, she explained her dream as a hidden desire, a desire very necessary of fulfillment for her to see the New England states. She turned to Anne and asked brightly. "Surely you aren’t going alone in that big trailer? It will easily hold another passenger!” Anne choked and looked at Henry. For answer he said, "We haven’t decided. Want a ride home? Fm going your way, Martha.” When he returned his mind was as invincible as steel. "But,” Anne protested, "Martha would enjoy it so much. After all .” "After all, she doesn’t go where Then Henry’s cousins, the Nor tons, descended op them. A visit from the Nortons never had been unmixed joy and hearing Jean Nor ton gush as she made the date over the ’phone, Anne trembled. They came. Their five-year-old imp. Bill, was twice as troublesome as Anne had feared. It seemed that the Nortons were being forced to move. Jean Norton talked much of the luck of some people. She was frankly envious of the Burtons and their trailer. Out in the kitchen while they washed dishes Jean Norton remark ed that her doctor had said she needed a complete rest. To herself, Anne thought that any one dealing with their Bill deserved a long rest Jean Norton cocked her head on one side and suggested delicately, "Bill wouldn’t be the least trouble, and we could pay well . Wouldn’t you like to take Bill with you? He would be -so much company for you!” Anne was seized with a sudden choking spell and escaped to the porch. Henry followed her out anxiously. She told him how she had been propositioned. They stood there staring bale- fully at the trailer, shiny and bright in the darkness. "Life was more fun before we received first prize,” Anne said dolefully. Henry had a sudden, wonderful Idea. They whispered. They started to shake hands in con gratulations, then Anne’s arms stole around Henry’s neck. Clese together they stood for a moment, each thinking life again was fine. When they went inside Anne told the Nortons, “You’re having trouble finding a house and you need a rest. Henry snd I wondered if you wouldn’t care to take our trailer?” The Nortons fell on them. They laughed. Jean Norton half cried, "I can’t understand what we ever did to make you share your wonderful, wonderful luck with us.” It was over at last. The Nortons left, promising their “undying grati tude," and making plans. Anne picked up ash trays and Henry yawned loudly as he leafed a magazine. He sat up, suddenly ex cited. "It says here there’s a con test where you win a ■.” Anne reached for the magazine and closed it firmly. "No! We might be unlucky enough to win.” First Circus Museum Has Nostalgic Items Heralded as the first museum in the United States devoted entirely to the circus, the Ringling Art mu seum has been opened at Sarasota, Fla. Eventually the museum will contain exhibits tracing develop ment of the circus from Roman times. The museum is located in an old warehouse, with a central pole and girders suggesting the interior of a circus tent. The building is on the estate of the late John Ring- ling, circus operator, who willed his residence and art museum to the people of Florida at his death in 1936. Included among exhibits are five old circus wagons, costumes, masks, drawings for the decor of specta cles, handbills and photographs of famed circus characters. Beetle Is Voracious Enemy of Potatoes Dusting or Spraying Will Control Menace Ranking as the most serious threat to the grower of potatoes and other vegetables is the Colorado potato beetle, whictys prevalent throughout many areas of the country. The beetle Is yellowish in color, stout bodied, about two-fifths of an inch in length and with wing covers bearing 10 longitudinal stripes. The larva or “slug” is soft - bodied, red dish in color and reaches a maxi- mum size of about three-fifths of an inch in length. Late in June when the po tato plants begin to a p p e a r- above ground, the beetles attack the foliage and lay their orange-colored eggs on the under side of the leaves. The eggs hatch in a few days into voracious larvae which, after feed ing for about 10 days, leave the plants and enter the soil to complete their development. They emerge as adult beetles by the latter part of July. A second brood is produced in August and adults of this genera tion winter In the soil. Both the larvae and adults are severe defoli ators of the plants. To rid the potatoes, tomatoes, egg plants, peppers, ground cherries and cabbage plants of the Colorado po tato beetle, dust or spray with paris green, calcium arsenate or cryolite. Hand picking of the beetles and crushing of the egg masses is effec tive if done often. Bam Cleaners Barn cleaners should have all mechanical parts, of simple de sign, yet sturdy and easy to con trol. It is possible to thoroughly clean the average dairy barn by use of mechanical barn cleaners. A clean barn is the first requisite for clean and healthy cows. In stallation of a mechanical cleaner, snch as illustrated above, will do away with much of the drudgery of this farm operation. Insects Launch Early Attack on Vegetables With the first reasonably warm days, insects will make their ad vent. These will be the green worm and lice on cabbage and the Colorado beetles and black fleabeetles on po tatoes. The cabbage green ‘worm comes shortly in the wake of the familiar white-and-yellow "butterflies” that go bobbing about, dropping eggs as they touch the leaves of the cabbage. This chewing insect is killed by poi son; not one of the arsenates, how ever, but the safe insecticide, ro- tenone. The best way is dusting, with a strength of three-fourths of 1 per cent of rotenone, as most pre pared dusts have. The first appli cation should be made when the "butterflies” first come, then re peated once or twice ten days apart. Sugar Beets Considered Good Crop for Dairymen The sugar beet is an important cash crop, according to University of Wisconsin. Years of extensive production prove that the crop blends in well with dairy farming, makes good use of farm manure and leaves the soil loose and friable. Beets seldom are damaged by either late spring or early fall frosts. There are few crops that leave the soil in as good condition. The tops are very valuable feed for cattle and sheep. They may be pastured, partially cured and put into trench silos, or used as silage. Evergreen Windbreak Protects Farmstead When planning the layout for Im proving the farmstead include a good evergreen windbreak to pro vide protection from prevailing winds. Plant the windbreak back about 150 feet from the buildings that are to be protected. As for depth of the windbreak, one row is good, two rows better and three rows will give still more protection. Space the trees about 18 feet apart. •CRIPTURE: Eira 3:10-1S; Psalms 84: 1-2; Ezekiel 11:16; 37:26-21; 64:1-31; 47:1-12; Zeeharlah 6:9-15. DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalms II: 1-9. The Temple in the Nation's Life Lesson for May 23, 1948 O UR golden text is "O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our mak er,” Psalms 95:6. The Jewish temple was a na tional sanctuary, whether we think in terms of the al tars of Abel, Noah or Abraham, the tabernacle at Si nai, or the great temples at Mount Moriah, of Solo mon, of Zerubba- bel, or any of the other appointed places of meeting with God. The welfare of mankind, in every age, requires the faithful and frequent worship of God. From the days when they sang the hymns of David, the Jews were prosperous to the degree that they were true to God in their worship and in their reverence for all things holy. This lesson traces the story, leaving no doubt in any pupil’s mind about the solemn truth of the golden text. * * * A HOUSE OF WORSHIP N Ezra 3:10-13, we see the pic ture of priests leading the peo ple to sing unto the Lord, “Be cause he is good, for his mercy en- dureth forever toward Israel.” Wherever you live, whether in the city or in some quiet rural community, remember this, tha sanctuary measures the attitude of the people of such community toward God to a degree that no other gage of public opinion can offpr. We have our various polls of public opinion, but none of them are so prophetic of a people’s ulti mate hope as their attitude toward God’s house. Boys and girls who regularly at tend Sunday school and public worship will be watched by the men who are looking for trustworthy leaders tomorrow. • • • HONORING GOD’S HOUSE <<OERVE the Lord with glad- 13 ness, come before his pres ence with singing,” Psalms 100:2. We read how the people in the long ago brought their best gifts to make God’s house beautifuL What are we doing with our best gifts? I think of boys and girls today who are helping with their small gifts to srect and equip beautiful houses of worship. Tomorrow they will point with gratitude and thanksgiv ing to the part they had In making God’s house the best bouse in the community. Thus do we honor God as we honor his house. • * * WHY WE GO TO CHURCH R. W ANN AM AKER, the mer chant prince, was once asked why he went so regularly to church. He replied: “I go to church for two main reasons. First, because God com mands it; second, because It en riches life.” The Jews teach us, in the long record of their faithfulness or un faithfulness, that the people who go regularly to church are the most dependable people In any community. And we can bring it right down to our day and genera tion, and get the same answer. A business man told me recently that he had a check made of the several hundred young people in his employ, and he found that more than ninety per cent of the regular church-goers were advancing in their work with his company. He further discovered that almost without exception, the people who were giving trouble were the people who never entered a church. * * • OUR NEED OF PUBLIC WORSHIP UR bodies require regular nourishment. And our souls are Just as dependent upon regular nourishment. I would not say that it is absolutely necessary for one to attend public worship to grow spiritually, but the odds are en tirely against those who claim that they can grow spiritually without attending public worship. There is a place of worship within the reach of well-nigh every person in the United States. We are re sponsible before God if we neglect to claim the advantages and bless ing of public worship. The place of the temple in the life of Israel is a symbol which teaches us today that we dare not forsake the assembling of ourselves on the Lord’s Day in his house. The fellowship of worship is the sweet est fellowship on earth. It is our surest road to peace here and here after. • • * tCopyrigli! by (be International Council ot Religious Education on behali ot 4C Protestant denominations. Released by WNU Features.)

Whitman QUESTION: When the former tenants moved from here they scored the floors with their furni ture. Is there any way I can re move the score marks? ANSWER: Scraping with an elec tric floor sanding machine should take out most of the marks. If any slight hollow place remains after sanding, you may be able to make them less noticeable by building them up with several thin coats of a quick-drying varnish. QUESTION: I have a dark soft wood floor that I don’t know what to do with. It is single flooring. If I were to lay linoleum squares, would the floor have to be smooth before cementing them down? ANSWER: Linoleum must be laid on a smooth surface. If your floor is rough and uneven, it should be sanded smooth. The alternative would be to cover the flooring with plywood, which gives a good surface for covering with linoleum. QUESTION: Please tell me how and what to use to paint the bath room wallpaper, and how to go about it. The paper sticks well to the wall. ANSWER: If you do not mind taking a chance on having the paper loosen, apply two coats of enamel undercoater and a final coat of good quality enamel. Do not use flat paint or any kind of calcimine.
