Some 50 years ago, when I was young and attending a one-room school, there were no buses and we had to trudge the three miles home. One Winter day when the snow was deep and had been on the ground several days, I saw a covey of bobwhites along the way, huddled under a low cedar. My first reaction was to hurry home and get the shotgun and "pot-um" while they were still together. When I told Dad, he said, "No, we won't shoot them. But let's go back; I'll help you feed them." We crushed an ear of corn and, about dusk (so as not to disturb them), we cleared a small area near the tree and spread the feed on the ground. Next afternoon they were waiting for us about 18 or 20 of them, all chattering away. The birds survived the four weeks' srjow because of the feed, and I got a thousand times more pleas ure from helping them than I would have if my Dad had let me shoot them. Every time I'd hear a quail call after that, I'd tell Dad, "They're thank ing us again. W. R. Hawk, Jackson, Tenn. They riant Neighborliness. We had just purchased a new home and we wanted to beautify it with a lawn and garden. Then my Air Force hus band was hospitalized with serious injuries suffered in a helicopter crash while on a siting mission. Apparently he had mentioned his plans to his crew because, two days after the accident, they descended on our home with the manpower, the knowledge, and the main ingredient spontaneous friendliness. By night fall our lawn was in. I know that such a "lawn bee," where neighbors help a family in tem porary distress, is not unique, but you never really appreciate it until it happens to you. Mrs. F. L. Russell, Anchorage, Alaska. 1 SI. Etched In Her Memory. My husband, a minister, and I were visiting a middle-aged woman who had just been widowed by the unexpected death of her husband a few hours before. Our conversation turned to her children and, as we hoped, it temporarily diverted her thoughts. She talked about each one at length and then, suddenly, she apologized for the condition of her dining-room table which had numerous nicks and scratches on its surface. She explained that she had often been urged to have the surface refinished, but she was afraid it might remove the scratches. All four of her children, she said, had done their homework around the table. Mrs. Raymond Glass, Pocatello, Idaho We Poy $10 for Your Letters.
