HOUSE
FIND OUT!
by Ruth Taylor
A* we celebrate the four hundred
and fiftieth anniveraary o' Colum-
bus’ epock making voyage to the
Americas, we must stop and consider
what it means to us. First, of course,
it marks the beginnings of the coun-
try we hold dear. But it is not that
which is of greatest significance.
Nearly five hundred years before
Columbus, the Norsemen had been
here, and other explorers would
have come—for the taking of Con-
stantinople by the Turks had shut off
the overland route to the East, and
men were forced out into new cours-
es and new ways of thought.
The Voyage of Columbus teaches
us the value of applied curiosity.
Along the wharfs of Genoa, among
the black-bearded seafaring men,
Columbus had heard strange tales of
land beyond the ocean—of ships
that, blown from their courses, had
sighted great capes and verdant is-
lands. He heard the half whispered
theory that the earth was not flat
as the scholars in their sheltered
lives had decreed, that it was round.
From these tales and whimpers, he
evolved his own idea that the lands
were really ihe Indies. And he had
to find out.
The path was long and hard—and
good time g-iny to her when she I seemingly hopeless — all the way
found them, for regardless of the do-1frorn lho inconspicuous life of a trad-
lay, she would have kept them until j' r’s son in Genoa to the post of Lord
he arrived. She would even l.avcj^'K'1 Admiral of Spain. He was
found his dead bircir. )>•■<,. «l,t t!u.,n j J'-ered at. and mocked, and scorned,
to him and placed them in his hand.: ®'VC>1T path that he followed ended
All she wanted in return was aj *n 11 wall o' failure—but each
little kindness—and that much she,tirK> ho started all over again, de-
had learned to expect from all men, 1 termined to find out. At lasy the way
regardless of race, creed or color
To the Man Who Killed My Dog:
Cherry, the little bird dog, almost
without’a fault, was killed by some
man Tuesday night of last week
while she was in her own back ya,d.
A better dispositioned dog never
lived. She loved everyone and never
thought of man as an enemy. Chil-
dren could roll over her, pull her
ears, play with her as they pleased,
and her only desire was to make
them happy and be happy herself.
It might have been that she was
licking the man’s hand when he
killed her.
At least she would have done so
had he offered it, for she only
thought of man as a friend. In the
field, she would have hunted birds
all day for this man if ho )v<d invited
her. He could have taken his own

cess. The greatest advantage in edu-
cation is that it teaches us how to
find out how to study and how to
learn.
There may not be new continents
to discover—but there are ooppor-
tunities equally as great before
those who have eager minds. There
are no heights to which the man with
an ideal may not climb—no oceans
of ignorance lie may not cross to
find the unknown treasure he seeks.
Each man is a potential Columbus—
and whether the voyages into un-
known seas depends upon how great
is his determination to find out.

WAYS OF WARDING OFF COLDS
With the advent of fall, and colds
becoming prevalent, Dr. Geo. W.
Cox, State Health Officer, makes the
following suggestions as to ways by
which these seasonal illnesses may
be warded off. or at least may be
gotten under control before they do
any serious damage.
Keep as fit as possible. Dress ac-
cording to the weather, indoors and
out-of-doors. Put on a heavier suit
when a cold snap comes. Use a rain-
coat, overshoes and umbrella on
rainy days. Change as quickly as
possible, into dry clothes if you are
caught in a drenching downpour.
With a shortage of fuel facing all
of us, our houses are likely to be
chillier than usual during the early
fall months. Look up your supply of
sweaters and have them ready for
use on these first chilly days. Get out
some other heavy clothing and warm
bed coverings at the same time.
Eat plenty of simple n urishing
food. Have your meals at regular
eat way to get over a cold, or to bring
it under control, ia to go to bed,
keep warm, eat lightly, drink plen-
ty of water and fruit juices, and at
the slightest sign of fever, send for
your doctor and stay in bed until he
feels that it is safe for you to get up
and get out again.
And remember, colds are very
contagious. Cold-producing germs
are scattered far and wide whenever
the victim of a cold coughs or sneez-
es. They are likely to be found on
anything the victim touches. If you
are the victim, keep your germs to
yourself. Have your own towels and
wash cloths, your own drinking glass
and dishes—and be sure that they
are adequately sterilized with hot—
very hot—water and soap after you
have used them. Keep well supplied
with paper handkerchiefs; dispose of
them promptly after they have been
used.
Careless ucts and failures to detect
new hazards have resulted in fires.

Never once did she suspect .that
when you called her to the fence
(whoever you are), you were going
to poke a gun in her face and fill!
her mouth and head full of shot. She
only thought of a gun as something
of joy, and the man behind it as the
greatest friend in the world.
This little brown-eyed dog would I
have taken care of your babies (if I
you have babies) all day long, watch-1
ing over them, romping with them, j
giving thorn pure joy. Had you inch-
ed her, she would have asked noth-
ing in return but the few scraps left
from your table and the kindness of
a human being.
Yes, that is tl.c kind of little dog
you called to the fence in her own
back yard and shot while she was
unsuspecting—a Jttle dog mat I had
refused $300 for
Man, the noxt’ time you pick up a
guft and iook down its sights, I hope
you will see a pair of soft brown
eyes looking up into your face for
kindness and expecting a pat on the
head instead of a load of shot. The
next time you go hunting and the
birds get up in front of you, I only
hope you will see a little white and
brown dog standing out there, rigid
on point, her tail curled over her
back, holding them for you, as much
as to say, ‘‘Here they are, boss, come
on and get them when you are
rexrdy.” And when your birds fall out
in front, stand in your tracks and im-
agine a little dog making r. dash for
them, as much as to say, “Boss, you
don’t have to move; I’ll bring them
to you and place them in your hand
or your game bag.”
Yes, the next time you look down
a gun barrel, see a pair of soft brown
eyes that were as innocent and
friendly as would be a baby’s if it
were holding out its chubby arms
and asking to come tv you —and then
go ahead and pull the trigger.
Cherry (the little dog you called
to the fence in her own buck yard—
the yard in which she had been
raised from puppyhood) was getting
old. She didn’t have many years
ahead of her, but those years would
have been filled with deeds of kind-
ness to anyone who had been look-
ing for such from a dumb animal,
and yet could understand your wants
and-make hers known.
Whover you are, you still have one
r- spark of kindness that you should
cultivate and let grow. You had the
mercy to kill her instantly (even on
grounds that were hers) ;rstead of
stooping so low as to use strychnine,
which would have caused her hours,
and maybe days, of suffering. For
that much, you have my thanks.
It isn’t probable that there is a fu-
ture "happy hunting ground” for
kind, little brown-eyed dogs like
Cherry. But if there is, she is over
there trying to get to go hunting, or
romp with someone. If this is so, you
need not look for her any more, man,
for you are not going her way.

Poet.)

The Automotive Mechanic of Yesterday
Is the VICTORY SERVICE MAN of Today
6y Joe Marsh

Happened to me only yesterday.
1 step on the starter of my ear.
Engine turns over O. K. but she
won't start.
So I look under the hood just as
if I know what’s the matter. Tap
a few things with a wrench. While
I’m standin' there, wondertng
what to do next, a young soldier
stops alongside.
“Need some help?” he asks.
“Got her almost fixed,” I says.
“But still she won't start.”
"Looks like your carburetor’s
flooded,” he says. “Got a screw
driver handy?”
That young soldier knew what
he was doin’ all right. Went to
work just like a professional.
“She’ll be O.K. now,” he says,
straightenin' up and smilin’.
Boy’s face looked sort of famil-
iar. And darned if that soldier
wasn’t young Charlie Jenkins from
Elm Street. Used to be a round-
shouldered kid—one of those jitter
bugs you hear about. Say! You
wouldn’t know him after six
months in the Army. Fifteen
pounds heavier—straight and tan
and real sure of himself. The
Army’s done a lot for Charlie.
Made a man out of him — and I
guess that goes for lots of other
young fellows, too.
« a a
The other day I read how some
folks worry about the soldiers
havin’ a glass of beer now and
then. Well, after seein’ Charlie, I
don’t think there’s much cause for
people to fret.
Just like Charlie says—“If you
ran trust us with guns and ships
and tanks, I guess you can trust
us with a glass of beer once in a
while, if we happen to want one.”
And I know the beer industry
is co-oporatlng with the Army and
the law-enforcement officers to see
that beer is sold in good, clean,
decent places.
From where 1 sit, this country’s
never seen a finer, cleaner, better-
behaved lot of men than the ones
in uniform today... I’m not worry-
in' about ’em!

Just how important the auto-
motive mechanic's work is to
the nation will be clear to all
who consider the following
facts*:
• Automobiles and trucks form Ihe
sole practicable means of transpor-
tation for war workers and war
materials in many communities
throughout America.
• In some sections, 78 ^ to 100 %
of the workers drive by automobile
to vital war plants.
• 2,314 U. S. cities, with a popu-
lation of 12,524,000, depend on
private cars for transportation;
54,000 communities depend en-
tirely on motor vehicles.
• Six out of every ten farms use one
Car or more; 67% of farm car
mileage is necessity driving.
• More than 65.2% of all war
plants reporting in Michigan (a
typical war production state) depend
on trucks to haul their incoming and
outgoing freight.
• Trucks haul nearly 100 , of the
milk supply of mosl large cities —
and 58 o of all livestock marketed
in the U. S.
• Trucks are the sole transportation
system serving our 54,000 com-
munities not reached by railroads.
The automotive mechanic—the trained Chevrolet Victory
Service Man—is the lifeguard of America’s millions of cars
and trucks. Help him to help you and America by getting a
skilled service check-up at regular intervals.
