But that was more than two years ago, and the fatted goose still struts around the back yard, waddling and honking. It seems the goose entwined her affections around the heartstrings of Buddy's family. And, as they explain it, "You just can't cook and eat a lovable family pet!" Earl L. Allison, Mount Cnrmel, ill. A LIFT AT THE LAUNDRY. I went to the laun derette one cold dreary morning, and the weather plus my mountain of laundry depressed me. As I began loading the machine, the little woman next to me (with a huge pile of laundry) quietly hummed a tune as she worked. She didn't seem to be conscious that she was humming, but it cer tainly cheered me up. I'd found my inspiration for the day! Mrs. Irn Luttrell, Oklaunion, Tex. GESTURE AT A FUNERAL. While attending a funeral I noticed that, as the procession left the church for the cemetery, a huge truck pulled to the curb and the driver removed his cap. He waited until the whole procession had passed before driving on. I'm sure this man was a complete stranger to the bereaved family, but by his token of sympathy he showed respect to a whole community. J. H. Rhoades, Newcastle, Wyo. A PLACE TO PLAY. A neighbor's back yard has become a sort of recreation headquarters for their two boys and for other teen-agers from miles around. They've in stalled a basket for basketball practice, and the boys play there for hours. When people comment about using the yard this way, the mother explains, "Well, our job now is rearing the boys. When they're grown, then we can have a nice yard and lawn." M. R., Jefferson City, Mo.

Under the black robe was the artificial leg on which he stood in unsteady dignity. His voice trembled. The old man was a symbol of the years with Pasteur, the books written for young men to study, the triumph of achievement. It was fitting that he should stand alone under the lights of the great auditorium and that the young men, 100 of them, should face him and echo his words. The old man read: "The regimen I adopt shall bo for the benefit of my pa tients according to my ability and judgment, and not for their hurt or for any wrong. . . ." The young bock mere stilT and straight. The wave of the answering voices swept the shore of faces behind them. "I will give no deadly drug, though it be asked of me. . . ." Will it be asked? The old man knows. His remembrance JMkl encompasses the tragedies the young men have yet to see. "Whatsoever house I enter, there will I go for the benefit of the sick, refraining from all wrongdoing. Whatsoever things I see or hear concerning the life of men, in my at tendance on the sick ... I will keep silence thereon, counting such things to be sacred secrets. . . ." One of the young men will sit at the bedside of a man who pleads for the release of death and remember. Or forget. One of them will become a confessor and face his conscience. Which of them is it to be? On the 100 faces turning for the recessional, there is quiet exultation now, and on the face of the old man, with a leg sacrificed on a cancerous altar, there is peace. This is the Oath of Hippocrates, a part of the ages of realiirmation of faith. To these young men, to this oath, we give our lives. rector; Jack PAMHY Wf tftlY, 17 N. M'chiqar, Ae .
