LITTLE JOHN’S ROSES
JANET RICHARDS
Every Monday mornng, Daddy
gave little John four nickels. This
was the child’s allowance for a week.
Sometimes little John wished he had
more money to spend. One day he
thought out a plan.
He slipped around to the back of
the house and soon emerged with a
pretty basket lined with green tissue
paper, and a pair of scissors. Then he
went out to his very own rose bush,
which was full of pretty buds and
blossoms, and cut off more than a
dozen of the fragrant flowers.
Little John knew his mother would
think he was playing on the rawn.
Instead of doing that, he was soon
calling at the neighbos’s homes. At
each place to which he went, he said
mine the immediate requirements; 1 briskly, “Do you like roses? Just

blueprint of community job availa-
bility thus obtained will be fur-
nished local leaders; (4) WMC-USES
officials are taking steps to provide
the following services which have
been planned during the past sixty
days:
1. A complete placement service
to the worker, the employer, and the
community.
2 An expanded placement, in-
formational and employment coun-
seling service to veterans.
3. An expanded employment
counseling service to displaced war
workers, the physically handicapped
and to all other groups and individu-
als in need of such assistance.
4. An expanded inter-office re-
cruitment service to industry to in-
sure the orderly balancing of labor
between areas of supply and demand
and to workers stranded in distress
areas.
5. The continuing analysis of
training needs to provide training to
workers, trainees to employers, and
proper training facilities within the
community.
6. The continuing employment
management services to provide in-
formation and advice in the applica-
tion of proven personnel practices,
and of accepted methods of industrial
relations.
7. The continuing priority to in-
dustry servicing the military in food,
clothing, fuel, transportation, and j
other similar facilities.
8. The continued working pro- j
curement agencies in efforts to speed j
conversion and reconversion of in-
dustry to peacetime civilian pursuits |
and to break up any bottlenecks in j
the reconversion effort.
9. A continued and expanded use 1
of Management-Labor committees to i
insure community advice, under-1
standing, and participation in labor I
market problems.
10. Full participation in communi-
ty planning and programming to ef-
fect the economic security and pros-
perity of workers, industry and the
community in general.
In addition, Mr. Elliott said that
when lay-offs appear in large vol-
ume, ocal offices of the USES will
shift their activities and facilities to
handle th<f volume of applications on
a streamlined basis. An immediate
survey of expected work load is be-
ing made so that personnel may be
orderly transferred to handle this
work load. Personnel of the local of-
fice of the USES is being trained at
the present time to handle the load
so that the greatest flexibility in per-
formance' may be achieved. Ip the
event regular office hours are not
enough to handle the traffic, offices
will be kept open additional hours.
The War Manpower Commission,
acting with Management-Labor com-
mittees, urges local employers, labor
unions, and civic leaders to cooper-
ate in a continuation of voluntary
manpower programs that will lead
to the greatest possible volume of
community employment under these
special programs. Employers will be
given maximum assistance in finding
said, “let’s talk this over ‘man to
man.’ ”
"Yes, Daddy,” little John replied,
smiling happily.
“There is nothing wrong in selling
anything that is really yours. Of
course,you shouldn’t sell your clothes
or your skates because Daddy and
Mother bought them for you to use.
They are yours only to use—not to
destroy or to part with. Now, your
flowers are different. You raised
them; they are entirely yours. Do
you see the difference?”
“Yes, Daddy, I do,” answered little
John.
“But, although you had a right to
sell your flowers, you may find a
reason, when you think it over, why
it would have been better not to
have sold them. When you have can-
dy, do you try to sell pieces to your
little friends?”
“Oh no, Daddy! I like to share it
with them—oh, I see! It would have
been more fun to share my roses!”
“Yes, especially because the per-
sons to whom you sold them are your
friends. They have all enjoyed shar-
ing things with you. You said that
Grandma Brown bought four buds.
She has often given you ginger cook-
ies and white sugar-cookies. At
Christmas she gave you a picture
book. You also said you sold Mrs.
Rogers two buds. Mrs. Rogers has
taken you several times for nice
rides in her car.”
“It was a mistake to sell the roses,
Daddy,” said Little John, after a mo-
ment or two. “I wanted more pen-
nies, but I didn’t really need them.”
He was very sober, and was doing a
lot of thinking. “Daddy,” he said at
last, “could I give some sweet-peas
to those who bought roses from me?”
“You could,” approved Daddy.
“And I’ll buy something with my
fourteen cents for that little crippled
boy over at the Children’s Hospital,”
little John added.
Hand in hand, they answered
j Mother’s call and went happily in to
National Kindergarten As-
for the children of the community.
The children of other soldiers will
be trained in the school; the wives |
and widows of the soldiers will be
freed from child-care and enabled to
make a living for themselves.

According to Miss Helen S. Buss,
of Indianapolis, Ind., Methodist mis-
sionary in Delhi, India, the number
of Women's Societies of Christian
Service in villages surrounding Delhi
have recently grown from three to
seven, and are affiliated with the
World Federation of Methodist Wo-
men. The societies are known, in the
Indian tongue, as “Masihi Mahilla
Sewa Samatti.” Many of the women
in these local groups do not know
how to read or write, and one of the
hundreds of women literate by j
means of the so-called “Laubach j
method.” They are also carrying on |
missionary work in Africa and local-
ly for babies in the Warne Baby Fold
in Bareilly.

At the instance of the American
Junior College for Girls, conducted
by the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A.,
at Beirut, Syria, Mohammedan girls
of this and eight other schools have
formed a Producers’ Cooperative for
the making and marketing of knitted
turbans, underwear, children’s
sweaters, children’s clothing, hand-
kerchiefs, etc., and for the making
of “Amesiean” jam. Each Wednesday
morning these girls—whose mothers
would not have dared peep out of
their homes or from behind their
veils—meet to sew and knit and then
take produce to market. “Through
cooperation and cooperatives we are
teaching the girls the Christian way
of working together and helping
each other,” says one of the teach-
ers. The Rev. W. A. Stoultzfus is
president of the College.

for dinner, Little John took the hand-
ful of pennies out of his pocket.
Well, well, where did you get all
that money?” Daddy asked.
Little John explained that he had
sold some of his pretty roses to the
neighbors—in fact, he told his fath-
er the whole story.
His father’s face fell. “Son,” he
