The lesson Isobel learned, all
too late, is told poignantly by
Mrs. Reinking, her narrator.
The first of the aeries of Life
Story dramas by Mrs. Reinking
was published in the March
issue. It was about Alice Ves
tal Miner, the Ashland girl who
was kidnaped by her uncle and
lived with him a number of
years before she was able to
escape.
The stories show that Mrs.
Reinking has a keen under
standing of the drama and the
emotion of unusual lives and
the ability to make her insight
vivid in word and effective in
presentation.
Boston, July 18. (JP) Mem
bers of the crew of the Dutch

ping after the German invasion
of Holland. Officers and crew

they had received. They said

The life we lead, the work we do,
the pleasures we enjoy are mate
rially influenced by what's going
on in the world. It's only natural,
therefore, that reading the news
paper should be as much a part o
everyday life as eating and sleeping.
Most people, as a matter of fact,
can't get along without it . . . and
practically everybody reads a news
paper every day, not only for the
news it brings, but for the interpre
tation it presents, the pictures it
prints, the entertainment it pro
vides, the advice it offers.-
Small wonder that the newspaper
should be the forceful, profitable
advertising medium that it is. Small
wonder, too, that today, when the
news plays so important a part in
people's lives, the newspaper is an
eventnore vital and profitable ad
vertising medium than ever before
