Flag Day, June 14 The nation pays homage to the flag today Flag Day a holiday observed to commemorate the adoption of the Stars and Stripes by the Continental Congress. June 14, 1777. This patriotic anniversary has become n important one in the calendar of the nation. Observance is carried out chiefly by appropriate programs paying attention to the history less, there should be no let down in the observance of the day in other ways and fitting honor should be shown the flag on this day. ; The full meaning of theflag to us is aptly expressed in "Alvin M. Owsley's tribute: "Of all the signs and symbols since the world began there is none other so full of meaning as the flag of this country. That piece of red, white and blue bunting means five thousand years of struggle upward. It is the f ullgrown flower of ages of fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in bloom." Suffering Chinese Cry for Help V Provo has joined with more than 2Q00 cities throughout the country in a great humanitarian movement to aid the stricken people of China to support a Bowl of Rice party Friday night. The proceeds of the benefit here as elsewhere, will be sent to China to provile food, and medicine for the estimated 50,000,000 Chinese women, children and civilian men and women who have been left homeless and face starvation starv-ation as a result of the Japanese invasion of their country. . An interesting program, worth many times the small price of admission, has been prepared for the event in Provo to be held in the tabernacle. Late dispatches from Shanghai and the interior of China received in this country paint a picture of appalling disaster and . need. With the latest outbreak of a cholera epidemic, there are now six diseases epidemic among the Chinese civilian refugees, the others being typhus, diphtheria, diph-theria, typhoid, amoebic and bacillic dysentery and scarlet fever. In recognition and support of the movement, Mayor Mark Anderson has issued a proclamation setting apart Friday, Fri-day, June 17th as Humanity Day, dedicated to the salvation of perishing human beings, to the expression of protest against war, and to an, avowal of our faith in peace as the cure for the threatening-ills of the world. The people of Provo have never failed in the past to heed the cry for help from a suffering humanity. They will not fail to do their part this time. Things have been see-sawing in California, where curb service in drinks was available for a while. First they put bars on the curb and then they decided to put a curb on the bars.

Donald H BY X REPORTER My ruby-throated friend of - a year ago is back again, paying court to the petunias, azaleas, columbines and other trumpet-blossomed trumpet-blossomed plants. r I suppose there are others of his kind in this vicinity, but so far this summer I have not seen more than one at a time, so cannot ttell. My friend, assuming that it is always the same one I see, hap developed a Donald Duck streak that is amusing, altno a mite hard on the ears. His ordinary tantrum note, sounded when. someone is near the flower beds. when he wants to come in for lunch, is a long, thin note so sharp it is hardly a note at all, but more like a slender, metallic noise, needle-like in quality. His loud scold is like the teeth-edging screech of . a tiny monkey. It literally rasps the eardrums. It is a sure attention-getter it sounded close at hand. I call him Donald, now, because be-cause he ls so frequently in a bad humor. The fact that I have seen no other hummingbird around leads to the thought that possibly he has no mate this summer. If he's an unwilling bachelor, that would explain the tantrums. Old bachelors are notoriously finicky and crotchety i or are they?

I've got one aunt that I always looked on as bein' very devout.

I 7- By Clyde Lewis I umming Bird pigeons are the best-natured of all. I've wondered if Donald Hummingbird hasn't maybe left his honey diet and taken up a diet of caterpillars, or something. some-thing. I fell into conversation with an old sailorman just lately and heard, in a general discourse on "pilot" fish and birds, that the hummingbird acts as a pilot for wild geese on their trips north .and c. south. More like a hitchhiker hitch-hiker than a pilot, I thought, for my informant said the little birds actually ride the great honkers on their long pilgrimages. He said that frequently when a wild goose is brought .down by a hunter's gun, before it strikes the earth a hummingbird or two will detach themselves from the big bird and proceed alone. It strikes me as possible that the shrewd and speedy little hummers might actually find a semi-vacuum spot in the immediate imme-diate wake of the larger Thirds, and be helped over the long haul.

AND indeed, life in the pleasant, rambling house, with its leisurely lei-surely old-world charm did seem to move on as smoothly and graciously as if there had been no grim struggle with death going on within its walls. Throughout the first few days George Thorvald had continued to waken, crying out terrified ' for Camilla Wynn moaning that he had killed her. But each time, a few words from Constance sometimes her bare presence served to quiet him. After that first day the identification of her with the actress seemed so firmly fixed in the boy's fevered mind that there was no longer any necessity for artificial disguise. Constance slipped in and out of the sick room at the call of both the nurses; but it was Miss Wilcox Wil-cox with whom she chatted oc-s casionally. "I understand the Wynne woman wom-an has been definitely scared off," she safti to Constance one day. "I shouldn't have been surprised if she'd made trouble when she found out George had given her the gate. But since Mr. Thorvald had a talk with her she seems to have decided that the kind of advertising ad-vertising she . might stir up wouldn't be so good for little Camilla." Ca-milla." 1R. ROGERS Constance saw only occasionally. Tnat he was in and out, however, she knew driving the 20 miles from Los Angeles, where his main practice was, every day, and occasionally in the middle of the night. One night, toward morning, he knocked at her .door; and when she roused sufficient to throw on a negligee and open it, asked her to come to the sick boy's room. "Just as you are, please," he said curtly, casting, a perfunctory look over her touseled hair and sleep-flushed cheeks. "He won't know whether you've got on a cocktail gown or a bathing suit" Constance was cross and a little confused from her sudden awakening, awak-ening, and unreasonably piqued by his abrupt, impersonal manner. '"Of course, Doctor,'" some perverse imp prompted her to quote. "'I understand. You want me to tell him a bedtime story. . . . But is it quite fair? Sometime he is oound to awaken. . . .

She had thought he would be amused now. But he only said with a weary shrug: "Don't waste time practicing on me. You're letter-perfect already." Feeling snubbed and hurt out of all proportion, she followed him to George Thorvald's room. But she could "never entirely dislike him when she saw him with the sick boy; he was so skillful, so sure of himself so genuinely ten der. ' ' When the magic of her mimicry had done its work, and she was moving down the corridor toward her own com, she hesitated. She was wide-awake now. Perhaps she had better go to the library and pick up something to read in case sleep failed to return to "her at once. TUST inside the library door, she halted abruptly, Startled to find that she was not alone. Huddled in the corner of the couch, Mark Rogers was fast asleep his cheek resting .on one arm, his feet still on the floor, as if he had sat down, intending only to rest there for a moment, andv then had dropped off in utter exhaustion. ex-haustion. Constance was shocked when she saw how utterly weary he looked shocked, and unaccountably unac-countably touched, as women often are by the helplessness of men in sleep. . . Perhaps it was because in his weariness he seemed younger - and a little wistful as if, Constance thought, he might have dropped off wondering whether -there might not be more to life some-" times than telling people what to do, and being caustic about it when they didn't do it. A light but chill wind had sifted down from the mountains that evening. As Constance watched, the sleeping man stirred uncomfortably, uncom-fortably, and shivered a little. Taking a Mexican, blanket from the ana of the couch, she folded it about him. Without opening his eyes, he snuggled under the com-iortable com-iortable warmth, shifted to a more comfortable position, and said with a drowsy half smile, "Thanks, Hilda. You're a brick." Constance smiled a little, bleak-, ly. So Hilda Thorvald had performed' per-formed' this service for him, too, often enough so that lie took it for, granted that this was she. . . The thought caused a faint flutter of annoyance which Constance, un-; reasonably enough, could not forget. for-get. - : "S (To Be Continued) ? f : V - . . |
