Walks Should Be Aimless,
Peripatetic Expert Says
A Walk should never have an ob-
jective, If you have it firmly fixed
in your mind, at the outset of your
walk, that you are on your way
to^CousIn Ella’s or that you are go-
ing to get a pound of raisins, the
awareness of this objective will
gnaw, constantly at your subcon-
science, like a maggotiri a walnut. It
will tinge your sensibilities and irri-
tate your psyched Do-not, therefore,
have an -objective. Jifst go for -a
walk.
The faking of a walk must never(
be a premeditated ritual. It irfttst
not be an, event that is planned in
advance, like a bridge party or an
application for a bank loan, but
must be as spontaneous as a sudden
smile. Tv
One of theseyffays, while you are
.quietly sitting reading—or doing the
housework or tidying the eellar or
whatever—the notion will suddenly
and unaccountably flit across your
Consciousness that it would be pleas-
ant to take a walk. You must act
upon this notion instantly. Do not
qttempt to think up reasons or pre-
texts or objectives for the walk.
Just open the door and go out.
First Post Office Was
Located in Boston in 1641
The first postal establishment on
the North American- continent was
located in,Boston in 1641 in the tav-
ern of Richard Fairbanks who was
given auttfofity to charge one penny
for each letter delivered, Professor
■R. Dei French of McGill-university
told members of the Rotary club
of Montreal, says the Christian Sci-
ence Monitor.' In Canada, the first
record of postal service was during
the French regime when a road was
opened between Quebec and Mon-
treal in 1735. '
Private dispatches by_mail in Can-
ada were delivered on schedule only
after the fall of Quebec into British
hands. This marked the final real
attempt to organize a postal service
on a regular basis, -and Benjamin
Franklin was instrumental in devel-
oping this work between Montreal
and'New York by way of the Cham-
plain and Hudson route. Postal serv-
ice was instituted between Halifax •
and Liverpool in' 1755.
Florence Nightingale Pledge
The wording of the Florence
Nightingale pledge follows: “Irsol-
emnly pledge myself before God

A Stereotype *• , '
A stereotype (Greek stereos, "sol-
id, firm," and typos, "impression,
mold”), is a plate or cast made by
taking an impre^ion from, plaster
or wood pulp (which has received
the-impression from the, type), and
reproducing it, in metal-p-perhaps a
cylindrical plate for a press. From
this stereotyped" plate, thousands of
copies may be printed-,
We sometimes speak of ^phrases,
ideas, manners, or actions as stereo-
typed, when' they are molded ac-
cording to some fixed'plan, or are
presented over and over again in
an unvarying style. Stereotyped

Collector Gives Advice
On How to Tatfe Antfquei
In promoting sprightly conversa"
tion about fishing, horses, music,
art, relief or aviation, familiarity
with the subject is advantageous.
In social symposia about antiques
Ignorance is a negligible detriment.
One can put up a creditable front
yith modicum of easijy acquired
patter. Such technical tidbits /as
"patina," "luster," "hallmark,"
‘‘supburst,” "salt glaze" and
"Americana" are useful as evincing
interest and intelligence twhether
you possess theni or not), but are
not necessary as starters.__.
Upon finding yourself surrounded
in an antique household without
means of escape, any one of the fol-
lowing leads -wiH prove efficacious.
"Have you been to any auctions
lately?”
"Is that portrait your great-grand-
father?" <
“Isn’t it gp.palling, the fakes that
are being put out now!"
jAfter that you may confidently
withdraw into the silences, emerg-
ing otily for an occasional, well-
placed murmur of appreciation. The
antiquer will do the rest. There is,
in a world resonant with chatter,
no more prolific, determined and
self - sustaining conversationalist
than your collector of the residue of
the past.—Samuel Hopkins Adams
in Coronet.
Novelist Learned English
By Heavy Hand of Father
For years, on Sunday njght, we
sat around the fire and read. My
father sat in his armchair on the
right. My mother sat facing him
in a low rocking chair. Between
them was a long wooden backless
bench on- which, we all sat: my sis-
ters, my brother, and I.
It was cozy enough in th‘e kitchen
then. There was a lamp hanging
to a nail in the wall:, a-tin lamp,
a glass, chimney with no shade, a
"Robinson Crusoe,” and many an-
other . good book, because my fa-

the children woulijj take their turns.
If we mispronounced a iyord once,
he, would correct us irritably; if
twice, he would clout us across the
head. So we bbcame acquainted
with- wholesome English—Howard

Spice Center* of the Wqrld
Zanzibar is an island .23 miles off
the coast of Tanganyika in the Azan-
ian sea, with a population of more
than 137,000. Zanzibar is the dhief
spice center of the world, the bulk of
the clove supply being grown there.
It is estimated that 48,000 .acres,
with more than 4,750,000 trees are
devoted to this industry. Next to
clove growing is,the copra industry,
with 55,000. acres given over'to 2;-
500,000 coconut trees: The island is
governed by a sultamhlif is admin-
istered by a British resident. The
British residency is the finest build-

capital of the island. Fishing gives
employment to many natives. The
island’s only wild animal is the little

Arizona’s Petrified Fores<
America’s most famous petrified
i forest is in Arizona. The (ossil trees
there are species of pine, now ex-'
tinct, which grew in the Age of Rep-
tiles, or ahout 200,000,000 years ago.
After falling, they were washed
down a watercourse and lodged on
a sand bank, where they eventually
became buried under sand and clay.
Later the sand and clay was washed
away, leaving the bare trunks ex-
posed. At one place a stone log
110 feet long forms a natural bridge
across a deep gully which has been
washed out under it.
Old -Iron Works
Reminder of the days' when iron
working was one of fiorth Caro-
lina’s prominent industries is an old
chimney, all remaining of the Wash-
ington iron furnace located, near
Bessemer..City,' N. C. -..The .furnace
was active during the late "Eight-
eenth century and during the first
part of - the Nineteenth, and many
hinges, andirons, and other wrought
iron fixtures were manufactured.
During the battle of Kings moun-
tain, whicht occurred just a fevf
miles away, cannon balls were cast
for the American army. None of
these could be.used, however, as the
British- had already-beetv-ptit-to rout

cooled off sufficient'ly; for .use. 4

Wasting Time
To learn never to waste our time
is perhaps one of the most difficult
virtues to acquire. A well-spent day
is a source of pleasure. To be con-
stantly employed and never asking,
-What shall I do?” ig the secret of
much goodness and happiness. Be-
gin, then, with promptitude, act de-
cisively, persevere; if interrupted,
be unruffled, finish it Qgrefully—
these will be the signs of a virtuous
soul, j

-Far from the mainland gnd rare-
ly-visited by cruise ships the Azores
are -known as the * ’garden-spots of
the Atlantic,” according to Ray-
mond-Whitcomb.
On1 the principal. "istahid'* of St.
Michaels are the Seven Cities, not
what the name implies,- but two-Te-
markable lakes in a volcanic crater.
One of these lakes, Logoa Grande,
is brilliant blue; the other Logoa
Pequena, is emerald green. When
water in the lakes is high the divi-lj _
sion between them is *not discern-

coloring.
Iron Will Float
It is usually said that iron will
not float, but it will. A ball of iron
placed in a pan of liquid mercury
will float land even support other
weight on top of it. Stones and
other heavy objects will also float in
mercufy. The reason ig that mer-
cury has a specific gravity of 13 59
