look again!
it was A blighted neighborhood. The children were dirty and
rough, and their small hands clutched stones instead of toys. I
felt timid about walking past them.
They also had a companion, a dog of huge proportions and
doubtful ancestry. He was as wild as any of them, running,
skidding, and bumping.
Suddenly fire engines tore up the street The children scattered
to watch in fascination, their shouts drowned by clanging bells
and ear-splitting sirens. The dog slunk to the. sidewalk and
began howling, his ears shattered by the noise.
The tormented hound got the attention of one urchin, who
lunged at him. I thought he was going to beat the dog, but
instead, as a mother would soothe a sobbing child, the boy
cupped his hands over his pal's ears to shut out the noise until
the fire engines had gone.
I walked on. All that hurt was my conscience.
Mr. Alice B. Conner, Philadelphia, Pa.
like many teen-agers, I went through the period of reading
questionable stories just to see why they were questionable, I
suppose. One day I was glibly defending them to the school
librarian, who had questioned my selections.
"There's food for thought in all of them," I declared.
"Yes," she said quietly, "but I want my food from a clean
plate, not a garbage can. If I have to wade through a sewer to
get it, it won't be worth much."
The conversation ended on that note, but I've never forgotten
it, and to this day it has been the standard for my reading
habits. Mrs. Frances G. Dabney, Spartanburg, S. C.
at the university of Texas years ago, a girl in my class was
an excellent athlete. When I saw her play, basketball, I com
mented that she had beautiful coordination. She explained she
had once played with an expert during her high-school days.
Later I saw her at tennis and again marveled at her ability.
She still insisted she was definitely inferior to the woman she
had once opposed. On the golf course it was the same thing.
Finally I asked her, "What woman could possibly be better
than you in so many sports?"
"Babe Didrikson," she said. Ethel Hale, Austin, Tex.
as usual, I was raving to my Dad about my boy friend's good
looks. He studied a photo my beau had just sent me, then said
thoughtfully, "His good looks aren't important The important
thing is that he looks good."
I've never forgotten those wise words.
Mrs. Ethel Scholzen, Racine, Wis.
