A Tribute to Mother By Selma Gordon There are tributes of love that we owe to each other But the greatest of these should be paid to our mother All the days of our lives she shelters with love May she ever be rewarded with blessings from above The presence of Mother makes glad many homes But gloomy to those where she no more comes However, it is, let us cherish these hours With deeds of rare kindness—the 'Sweetest of Flowers Whn but a mere infant her watch o’er us kept When we sought lone to wander, she advised our step, Though we left our fond homestead, for us she still waits Bidding us to follow her to Heaven’s Golden Gates. When sickness and trouble have be come your lot And hours are darkest, she’ll for sake you, O not. Then grieve her not, children, but trust and obey MORE JOBS.

South Omaha, May 2nd before an appreciative audience. The play was written by Mr. T. E. Williams. This drama, which is dedicated to the You h of today, is not only [ enlightening to the youth, but to anyone who may not have the highest ideals in life. The plot deals with two young men, who are graduating from Bishop col lege. The first young man, a lawyer, whose atti.ude toward life is ’get all you can, regardless of the other,’ Graft was to be the biggest thing in his life. The second young man, a minis ter, starting out in the world, whose view toward life is ‘Always do good to your fellow men, liv ing in harmony with God and His great purpose. After the elapse of twenty five years, we see the lawyer in his office, a money grafter, swind ler, mortaging homes, asking ’arge fees from people innocent of his game. On the other hand the minister in his home is discus sing life in general wth his wife. Their conception of life is “Live not for yourself alone, but for fellowmen.” Through loss of a sum of money over stocks ,the lawyer refuses to give the broker his commission. An arugment arises. The lawyer shoots the broker, and is convict ed and sentenced to life imprison ment. At the trial his life is pointed out to him, as a swindler, how he encouraged crime and shady deals. Blinded by money craze, he was rewarded with a life sentence in prison, after enjoying a college education and twenty-five years in public life. Whereas, the minister was getting a meager salary,. yet happy, for he was living life as it should be lived, in the right manner. The lawyer’s life showed get ting rich, hoarding money, swind ling the poor, grafting and steal ing from the innocent. The minister’s side depicts the more logical road an individual should travel, in that he sees life, not as a matter of materialism, but as a thing to be lived spiritually. This drama, as a whole, was excellently played by the charac ters. They revealed the plot in a very creditable manner, that touched the hearts of the audi ence. This drama is well worth seeing and profitable to young and old. Proverbs and Parables By A. B. Mann (For the Literary Service Bureau) “BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY” This is a very appropriate motto for this rapid age. It means that it is better to be careful and prevent acci dens or injury than to cause such and then repent—be sorry. Then, be it remembered that often carelessness will cause injury which cannot be repaired; that there is the danger of inflicting hurts which can not be healed. Today the world rushes rapidly on with utter reckless ness . Men are forgetful of the inter ests of others, the sufferings of others. In their hurry, thousands are forget ful of their own safety. It would be well to have along life’s highway markers bearing this motto: “Better be safe than sorry.” Proverbs and Parables By A. B. Maim (For the Literary Service Bureau) AN OLD DOG AND NEW TRICKS There are serious doubts as to the truthfulness of the axiom “You can’t LOOK! WITH EACH OIL CHANGE WE GIVE A COMPLETE GREASE JOB No Extra Charge 24 HOUR TOW IN AND REPAIR SERVICE Walker Garage No. 5 24 and Lake Sts. Tel JA-7086 teach an old dog new tricks.” But, even if it were true, it is illogical and detrimental to apply it to human be ings. Life is a school and there is not a time at which the mental channels are completely closed. Knowledge is progressive and many individuals have made very substantial progress in the after years of life. In industry there is the disposition to junk all men over forty. This is unreasonable and unfair, too. There is a play entitled “Life Begins at 40”. Whatever it may mean, it is true that for the most part, men do their best work after they are forty. And many are “going strong at seventy”. The adage may be true of dogs, but it is not true of men—except men who re fuse to make progress. If the duties before us be not noble, let us ennoble them by doing them in a noble spirit; we become reconciled to life if we live in the spirit of Him who reconciled the life of God with the lowly duties of servants—F W Robertson. QOOR CHILD I /and the school ^ By Dr. ALLEN a IRELAND Drreciot, P by steal and Health Education Nett Jersey State Department of Pnblie Instruction Picnic Time Spring time is picnic time. No call will bring children so quickly. In their enthusiasm is our oppor tunity. We must provide for safe ty in transportation; protection against impure drinking ( water; and instruc | tion on the dangers ’ of poison ivy. We must guard against sunburn and sun stroke. We must know the hidden threat of the swimming hole. Only by the ut most care, can we be thankful at the end of the day that nothing serious has happened. For days in advance, the children can be dis cussing the above topics and plan ning their own protection. No bet ter educational device is known. “Eats” is the big question when talking picnic. Here is the supreme occasion for getting across the ideal picnic luncheon. Plan it care fully as any meal. A thermos bottle of cool milk; tomato and lettuce sandwiches; cup custard; fruit; a cake dessert. Teachers should plan their lessons on foods for the month preceding picnic time. Bring out all the values in the pic nic luncheon. Such opportunities furnish the motives for health education. How to implant proper eating habits in children trill be the sub ject of Dr. Ireland's next article. —oOo— IgOOR CHILD | { /AMD THE SCHOOL Bf l>. ALLEN a IRELAND Omtam. nyetd a* Htjtb EJmtvm , "«» le*n fuu Dtpmtmm d PmUit Suggestible Children are highly suggestible. They absorb nearly everything that goes on or that is said. To some extent therefore every adult is in fluential in the form ing of a child’s hab its and attitudes. Can you imagine the child in this sit uation, which I ac tually witnessed? The teacher was having the class name the different fruits, each pupil answering according to his preference. One little fellow said sincerely enough “prunes.” To which the teacher replied “Oh, you’re a prune.” It was just one of those times when a person sees a chance to be funny or smart. Though she said it with a smile, I could see that it hurt the boy. He tried to grin, but his face betrayed the real emotion caused by the rau cous laughter of the class. He had given his best, an honest answer. He meant it, so what was so funny? Why do we do such things without thinking of the child’s fine, sensitive nature? What did that mean to a child in front of his own playmates? Can’t you hear him labelled “prune” after school and perhaps for years after ward? If he ever eats another prune, the humiliation of that mo ment will return for a long time to come. Though the emotional effect is less serious, the influence upon choice of food is just as great when an adult says, often with a wry face, “Oh, I don’t like milk. It up- 1 sets me,” or “I don’t like the taste of milk.” To the child, something queer about milk is suggested. He’s not sure what it is, but when a' grownup says it, there surely is something wrong. Right there in a thoughtless moment we tear down months or years of careful teaching and persuasion. If we have to refuse milk, let’s say “milk is good, but I don’t care for any right»now."
