SENIOR AMBITIONS
Zack Stroud
Wlty people write their ambitious.
I don't know. 1 suppose one out
of a thousand succeed in fulfilling
them We learn that what we In-
tend is uot always what we ac-
complish.
This generation has to change,
adopt itself, or to become adjusted
to anything that presents Itself.
We are lucky if we have jobs, and
if the job can be chosen, that
person Is fortune's favorite.
1 have several desires for the
future, but I dislike exposing them
now. It Is so easy to fait.
And like the old Roman warrior,
I had rather have the home town
expect little of me and surprise
thorn than for much to be demana-
ed and disappointment
May everyone succeed in what
they intend to do Is my wish, but
Who knows, some may fail.

hoUBC is rapidly assuming the pro-
portions designed for it.
We watch the structure rise and

Even the most solid and unsenti-

A CCC BOY
By Clinton Day, Ktrven
I’m glad I’m a CCC boy,
Because it makes me strong;
I'm working for the Government
And helping things along.
My country needs my service,
My parents need my cash;
If 1 weren’t a CCC boy
My country might go smash.
I’m sometimes sad and lonely,
Apd wish 1 could be
Again back in the homestead
Where folks would welcome me.
I lie and hear the cold wind
Around the barracks scream,
1 pull my blankets dost around me
And sleep and sweetly dream.
The homefires burning brigthly
Across the mountains wide,
1 dream that I'm sitting
Close to my mother's side.
In my dream I hear her speaking
Saying. ''Boy, be good and true;
My future hope and happiness '
Is depending, son, on you.”
I wake up suddenly startled
To the bugle calling “Chow”;
I jump from bed quite hurriedly
And lovely answer, how, how.
I ride the trucks to labor,
1 ride the trucks to labor,
I love to see them roll
Across the rugged mountains,
It’s good for body and soul.
So, here's to the boys In camp,
And here’s to the flag tney love,
May God protect them all
'Til the roll is called above.

It makes you strong and healthy,
It gives you quite a thrill,
To know you are a CCC boy,
Backed by the Government's will.

They give you the best of care;
You will not be asked to do
What they are not willing to

CALVARY BAPTIST
SENIOR B. Y. P. U. PROGRAM
IITHEN William Harrison, of Gloti-
W cestersiiire, England, disappeared
and no knowledge could be obtained
of his whereabouts, everybody In that
part of the country came to the con-
clusion that he had met with foul
play.
He had gone away on a rent-collect-
ing tour, and It was known that he
was sure to have a large sum of
money In bis possession.
A month went by and still there was
no trace of the missing man.
The sole topic of discussion in those
parts revolved around the query:
What has become of William Har-
rison?
It was during one of these discus-
sions that John Perry came to the
front and amazed the authorities with
a remarkable story.
He said that his brother, Richard
Perry, had murdered Harrison for his
money, and that the result of the
crime was his enrichment to the ex-
tent of £130.
John and Richard Perry lived with
their mother In a little house on the
outskirts of the village.
John1 was not mentally strong; In-
deed, there were some who regarded
him as half-witted.
Richard was physically and men
tally strong, but his reputation for In-
tegrity was not good.
He had been caught In some ques-
tionable transactions, and It was hint-
ed that he would not hesitate at mur-
der for the sake of money.
The magistrate of the district sent
for John Perry, and the fellow re-
peated his story.
□e was examined at length, but
stuck to his original statemei.t. The
only addition he made to It wns that
he and bis mother were present when
Richard had assaulted and robbed
Richard Harrison.
He was unable to say what had be-
come of the body because he had run
away while the robbery was In prog
ress.
The two men and the woman were
placed on trial and were Inadequately
defended.
They were given the Impression that
if they pleaded guilty to robbery their
Uvea would be spared.
But at the next terra of court, Sir
Robert Tyde placed them or.' trial for
murder.
They were at a terrible disadvantage
because by confessing to robbery they
had admitted that they were potential
murderers.
In addition to this there was a mass
of circumstantial evidence against
John.
There wns only one flaw In what
might be regarded as an otherwise
perfect case, and thnt was the failure
of the authorities to find the body.
Sir Charles Turner, who presided at
the first trial, had refused to aecept
the Indictment for murder because of
this very flaw, and It was that which
had caused a change It.' the Indictment
to robbery.
But the second judge was not so
jealous of the old English law.
He took the ground that Harrison's
nonappearance after six months was
proof positive thnt he had been killed.
So the family was convicted and
executed.
Soon after the execution one of the
residents of Gloucestershire received
an anonymous letter hinting that Wil-
liam Harrison' was still alive.
Then came another story that he
was In Turkey. All of these rumors
were treated as mere gossip until three
years inter when the door of the local
inn was opened and William Hnrrlson
entered the room.
He said 'that nfter he had collected
the rents, us usual, he was beset by
a gang of thieves, and the cash takeo
from |)lm.
But the toughs did not stop at mere
robbery.
They took him to a wayside inn and
invited him to take a drink upon the
success of their enterprise.
He took It and in a little while be-
came unconscious.
They had given him drugged liquor.
After this a gang had carried him
aboard a vessel.
When he recovered consciousness he
found that e wa* on o Tur-
key.
He had lived there for two years.
When he was asked why he had
not communlcuted with his friends, he
said that he feared that they would
not bellevo his story, and as he was
unable to make good the money that
bad been stolen from him be bad de-
layed his return as long as possible.
Since that day—over two centuries
ago—no man has been tried for mur-
der In England without first proving
the murder.

Sixby's Gale
Snxby's Gale Is the name given to a
violent storm, which occurred on Oc-
tober 4, 1809, on the coast of New
Brunswick, Maine and Nova Scotia.
It was accompanied by a tide of ex-
traordinary height The storm, which
apparently came up from the West In-
dies and caused heavy rains In eastern
United States, was called Saxby’s Gale
because a Lieutenant Saxby of the
British navy had -announced a year
previously that a great storm and high
tide would occur on October 5. The
prediction had been based on the sup-
posed Influence of the moon, but It was
entirely Indefinite as to the place
where the storm would occur.

FAIRFIELD
The New Waldorf sets the pace with the most important ad-
vances in Electric Range development. You'll find solid, sturdy
construction without forfeiting light weight. Beautiful, utili-
tarian door handles. The chromium element rings lend sparkle
to the appearance, as well as provide for ease of cleaning.
Heavily enameled convenience drawers roll easily and silently
forward until stopped by the lock slide.
Broiling equipment is provided with an advanced type
smokeless broiler assuring tne certainty of delicately crusted
meats. High-speed surface elements make the range one of the
fastest boiling elements ever produced. Think of this—on
"medium” heat, only the two outside coils are hot, giving even
heat distribution (eliminating customary hot, center) when
using a large skillet or griddle.
Waldorf places the convenience outlet adjacent to the work-
table space where it really is a "convenience.” Shake-proof ter-
minal connections or elements eliminate the annoying service
problem caused by these important terminals becoming loos-
ened by vibration. Waldorf’s self-closing oven door has the
feeling of a piece of precision equipment. It comes to rest in
the open position with an easy, cushion-like movement. In
closing, it moves forward almost automatically after being
raised to the half-way position.
During the month of April ouh
the New Waldorf is being of-
fered at a marvelously l«w
figure.
Prices Range front
$74.50 to $99.50
On convenient terms (slightly
higher) as low as $2.90 |«(
