er Government agencies.

PE OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
There's `something good about the
sound of children's voices I couldn't
help but think of that as I came by the
schoolhouse on the Concession the
other day. It was just after the last
recess and I guess they Were having
their song period. The windows were
open and the sound swelled out and
flowed all around me.
The voices stayed with me all the
way down the road. I started hum-
ming the same song. it seemed the
perfectly natural thing to do, Somehow
or other my heart was lifted up
just a bit and by the time I got home
I was in a better mood than I have
been for weeks,
Just think about the .1sound of a
group of children . . , playing or sing-
ing. I well remember being in a city
a long time ago. It was my first real
trip to a big city and I was really only
a boy. The acute pain of loneliness
kept nipping at my heart with a per-
sistence that left me only the recourse
of tears. I was too grown up for that
however and the difficulty of restrain-
ing the tears only made me feel worse.
It was a hot July night. The cur-
tains hung limply ,tired and just a bit
dirty and dejected looking. The room
was stuffy. I didn't want to go out on
the street. The milling crowds of
people only made me feel worse than
ever. All of a sudden I heard singing.

A group of children. ddwn in the street
were singing. The words have long
faded from my memory but even to
this day I can feel the heart warming
sensation that came to me from having
heard those children . . , .happy and
excited.
The other time I remember so vivid-
ly was on a Christmas Eve. I had One
to attend the funeral of a dear friend.
The train service was bad and I could-
n't get home until Christmas morning.
Being alone on a Christmas Eve in a
strange place is not an experience
which a man can count as being happy.
It was snowing .. . .big, soft flakes
of snow that ca'ine tumbling down as if
they were anxious to get to earth for
the holiday, The stores were bright
and gay and the happy chattering of
the crowds of peopleonly added to my
misery. I didn't want to go to a show
and I had eaten about six times just
to be sitting down in a warm place.
There was a church door open and
I stopped by. I walked on. Finally
as the crowds thinned mit at midnight
and I had four hours until train time,
I popped in to the church, A boy
soloist 'started singing "Adest Fidelis."
I cried with the sheer joy of listening.
All the pleasant, warm memories of
home and Christmastime and the faces
of people I knew kept crowding in on
my mind.
That boys clear voice served as the
background for the most pleasant
dreaming I've ever enjoyed in my life.
There are those with babies at home
who will dispute my argument, espec-
ially when the youngster starts seren-
ading them in the middle of the night.
On the other hand who is there that
could argue against the gurgling and
cooing of a happy baby in a cradle. ,
