Lucille Spooner ........ Margaret McDonald LOYALTY Loyalty may be divided into several divisions, but one ol tin- most important is that of loyalty to oneself. Wh: t is meant by being loyal to oneself? It means do- iny. the things he knows he should do, believing the things h. knows are right, acting in the way he knows he should act. “But how is this being loyal to oneself?” you may ask. Taking the first phrase, “doing the things that one knows he should do.” Often people see things that they would love to do, but they know deep down in their hearts it isn’t what they believe they should do. When they are tion; enough to overcome their desire, they are being loyal to themselves. It is very easy for young peope of high school age to be disloyal to themselves. It seems so easy to say, “I’ll do if just this once, no one will ever know the difference.” Anu* while they are doing it, they do not realize the harm they are doing themselves. When one learns to be loyal to himself, he learns to be loyal to God, to his country, to the institutions of which he is a part, to parents, and to friends. l he value of loyalty to oneself can not be overestimated. Ready For Fire Drill The clang of a gong, the sud- den commotion, the hurrying pu pils, the trample of feet, the talking and laughing—a fire drill. Remember, always be ready for them in stormy or sunshiny weather. One of them might be a real fire. It’s just another fire drill. That is the state of mind the instructors want you in so that there will be no cause for a panic and injury.—W.F. periences make the life of Elery Walter, told by himself in a very interesting style in “The World on One Leg,” seem almost paradoxical at times. This is the story of a man who, under un usual circumstances, was left alone in the world. Although young he made up his mind to go around the world. In his travels he encounters several ad ventures that to you and me would seem almost impossible. While a member of a college crew, his left heel became in fected. This tragedy led him around the world in a series f fiction-like journeys accompanied by events which are very inter- esting.—B.C.

Probably many persons lately have heard of the “blind fiddler,’ Jelson Setters, who lived in the hills of Kentucky for more thiKi 50 years. ' Due to his blindness his other senses developed more acutely. No one could swap horses with Uncle Jelson and get the best of him. If his dog barked he could tell whether it scented a possum or squirrel. He could mimic every bird in the forests around him. By the whinnying of the nag he could tell he was nearing home, He recognized everyone’s’ voice the countryside over. While fiddling at a country gathering Jelson met Rhuhomie Alayheir, whom he later married. A doctor of that vicinity by the name of Beech Dellon for years tried to persuade Jelson to go to Louisville and undergo an operation on his eves. He was finally successful and Jelson returned three weeks la- ter with eyes! It was then the first time in his life he had ever The World On One seen his wife.
