His fence around the hay ntea- doW had beeu cut. His -alfalfa crop was tromped down, two haystacks torn up and ruined by the rain, his few head of horses, about 15 head, were missing. Save for the horse he rode, he was afoot.

One thing I must mention , Mrs. Sayre quoted the answer given by a Jewish American scientist to someone who said to him—"1 Sup- pose atomic power is now the great- est power in the world. Isn't that so?" - "No," answered the scientist, "there is one power greater yet— the power of Almighty Goth" That is something we are inclin- ed to forget in -this materialistic and scientific age, don't you think? Yet we should remember it to our com- fort if we are inclined to dwell fearfully on the devasting power of atonic force. After all, the cleverest men of our day and age are still only puppets when a higher Power taelcs over. We have proof of that in the swirling waters of the Red River flood, Sandbags can lessen the damage but only the subsiding of the waters can bring real relief to the flooded areas.

Fifty years- ago most of these would have been wearing lace caps and staying hone with their grand- children. But on Friday, there they were, well over a thousand strong. And they were smart! Most of then[ had evidently had better luck shop- ping than I had. My friends and I sat in the balcony, and looking down we could almost count the brown -haired heads among the grey and white. Another thing I like about that kind of outing—so often kind- hearted souls come up to me and say—"You're Mrs. Clarke, aren't you? 1\'e always read and enjoy your column." Often they are strangers to me—how they recog-- nine use, I don't now—but it always gives rue a sort of lift to meet any of you people who put up with my meanderings week by week, and I !lope you will always cone and suy- "IIuhlo" whenever you and 1 happen to be in the same place at the sante time.
