The rain poured down and the night was dark, And the rising winds began to blow, But Pablo, the ass, Knew always exactly just where to go. This Fablo had there in his cryptic brain. An accurate map of the mountain trail. No matter the tangle of brush and rocks, As a pilot he never was known to fail. And away oer the summit as Pablo climbed, The rain poured down with a steady purr, And the children asked Mother about dad, For in trouble they always turned to her.

They rewarded their servant with fodder stale, For Pablo the patient would not complain. Nor lose his temper to weep and wail, While he stood till dawn in the chilly rain. His life was to serve, and to take what came, To live or to die for his masters need; With a face that was humble he yet was game, To follow behind or to take the lead.

Anyone who feels this way would do well to ponder an editorial observation made by the Portland, Oregon, Journal during the recent observation Advertising Recognition Week: "Without advertisements, the cost of a single copy of a newspaper would be so (high nobody could afford to buy it. And without advertising, the public would be denied the tremendous variety of entertainment, news and cultural programs offered on radio and television. It is true that the public pays for the advertising through the price of the article sold, but the mass production which advertising makes possible reduces the unit price far below what it would be without this stimulus, and advertising cost per unit is often high-schoole- r. opulent as we ?

But, of course, when the Big Day came, there was an orator (as there always is) to explain what it was we were commencing. This, in fewer words than the speaker required, was to start standing on our own feet and to begin giving father a break. And today, while we question whether our "higher education is high enough scholastically, every parent knows it's higher than ever in the economic sense.
