Many words have been written
Of home sweet home
With pictures of places
A rambler may roam.
For home is a place
You can do as you please,
Sleep in the dog house
Or up in the tree.
Vernon E. Lester
Or shake off your shoes
And go in your feet,
Fuss with the butcher
And throw out the meat,
Kick the radio over
With its punk program,
Have a prayer meeting
Or take another dram.
Dig in the garden
Or snooze in the swing,
Answer the bell
Or just let it ring.
Turn out the lights
And smash a big globe,
Shave in the kitchen
Without a bathrobe.
A kin and a cave man
Are both just the same,
And home’s a condition
And luxury a name.
And it’s a great treat
Just to be alone,
But you’d better be neat
When the Madam gets home.
—T. H. Williamson, in
Aiken Review.

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
FEBRUARY 24TH

“Now go to school like a
boy and when you grow
big like your Daddy . . .
then you can go on strike.”
The continuing scourge of forest fires in
the United States is nothing short of
disaster. Look what forest fires do EACH YEAR!
Each year they burn 30 million acres of land—an
area the size of die State of New York!
They destroy enough trees of saw-timber size to
build 86,000 five-room homes!
They burn enough pulp-size trees to make 3 mil
lion tons of newsprint, 90 million railroad des!
They cause soil erosion, tremendous loss of recrea-
donal areas, wildlife, electrical power!
Forest fires bring destruction, shortages and higher prices that
no one can escape! And do you know what causes most forest
fires? It isn’t lightning and other natural causes. In truth, 9 out
of 10 forest fires are man-caused, and most of them are the result
of pure and simple CARELESSNESS!
