Ix ecently, on our way home from New York to California, my daughter became ill and was hospitalized in a small town in Iowa for three weeks. I stayed with her, but shortly before leaving I had to cash a check to get some expense money. I went to the local bank, wondering what to do about identification in a strange town. The teller glanced at me, then at the check and, without hesitation, pushed the currency through the window. Surprised, I asked, "Don't you need any identification?" He said, "No, I saw you in church last Sunday." Mrs. A. C. Paul, Davis, Calif. THANKS FROM A PIGGY BANK. Our family has a plan for adding our bit to help the less-fortunate. We put a little piggy bank on the table, and after every meal each adult drops a penny in it. No one can quibble about that amount for a good meal, but at the end of a year the pennies add up. Guests? We don't ask them to contribute but invariably, when they see what we're doing, they want to add their "two cents' worth." When the bank is full, the pennies are rolled, counted, and sent to some organization like CARE. Most families say grace before meals, but how many offer thanks after a meal? Wouldn't it be wonderful if families all over America said thanks with piggy banks? Mrs. Frank Fetter, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. A CHILD CHECKS UP ON NATURE. Down here in Florida the early moon is sometimes clearly visible before the sun goes down. On one such afternoon recently our five-year-old girl saw it and exclaimed, "Oh, Mommie! There's the moon. It's up in the daytime." Then solemnly folding her hands in prayer, she raised her eyes and murmured, "Dear God, You're making a mistake. Amen." Mrs. George Mulhall, Jacksonville, Fla.

I believe in them and they have happened and will continue. I mean magic of the kind a child understands and sacri fices only on the altar of permanent teeth and long pants. When I was small, I lay in the long grass and was not lonely. I was surrounded in contentment by the unseen delights of make-believe, a world much too profound for adults to understand. I am sorry that I lost my magic. A little more of it today would compensate, I think, for cynicism and brutality. A touch of magic would turn little hatreds into great loves and bombs into bluebells. If a man's enemies could vanish like dew in the morning and leave only the simple shells of themselves for him to smile on, wouldn't it be wonderful? And how joyous a thing to be able to wish away fear and sorrow and to speak the mystic words which bring beauty from ugliness and pain. When I was small, my world was, too. It was encircled by the picket fence and my mother's arms. But my mind was larger by far, for now I am circumscribed by the shrunken sanity of maturity and I will never truly see again the horse with wings or the faery dust on the tulips in the twilight. I am not a case of arrested development. I do not long to return to the womb. I love my world and I live in it comfortably and happily, grateful for both the known and the unknown. But I maintain I have paid a universal price for growing up. Neither an adult nor a child has an easy time of living, but blessed childhood carries with it delight to be sur rendered at 7. The key to a world beyond vision and sound where rabbits wear waistcoats and a narcissus sings. Is a shattered atom more wonderful? FAMILY WIIKIY, 17"? N. Michigan Ave., Chicago I, III. Leonard S.
