Page 12 October 31, 1940 side was being combed for their hidingplace. they were forced to keep under cover. The mine was only a short distance away and the boys grew anxious, believing that the strange man was making rapid progress in his search for the gold dust. Events rile the boys when Aunt Sophreny, who holds a grudge against Bob’s father, learned of their plight but refused help. It was Joe who finaly forced her hand in a way that proved amusing in spite of the seriousness of the situation. The rest was up to the boys, but with the reward still out for their capture, they were forced to search the mine during the night. The real culprits who blew up the boiler in the sawmill were caught. The boys are cleared. The adventures encountered in the mine searching for The Bottle of Dust was a challenge to all the strength and courage they had. The author, Anworth Rutherford, lives in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. He has written comic operas, popular and other songs, and adult fiction. The illustrations are by Helen Hughes Wilson, who won recognition for her work at the Chicago Art Institute. The Winston-Salem, North Carolina Journal and Sentinel writes: “All Caxton books are distinguished, not only for worthy subjects and good writing, but also for superlative craftmanship in the physical make-up of -the books themselves.”--------------------O-------------------AUTUMN The earth is in mourning today, Autumn is well on its way. The trees a-shom vigil will keep While Mother Nature goes to sleep. I wonder do the leaves up so high Sigh and weep and dreed to die? Or do they welcome the empty nest And gladly whirl and dance to rest? But most of all that puzzles me As somber colors and death I see, And sadly admit summer’s gone by— Who told all these things to die? —Marguerite Varga. ______________Verhovayak Lapja Juvenile Order—Monthly Report SEPTEMBER, 1940 New members Reinstated ...„ 154 109 Total Lapsed ____________________ Deceased __________________ Transferred to Senior Order .... 192 2 __ 74 263 268 Decrease ..........................

When it comes to accumulations of useless oddsand-ends which are found in profusion in many homes, here’s an excellent motto: “Bum the junk up—before it bums you up!” A good many of us have characteristics of the pack rat. We hate to throw anything away. Old clothes, old magazines , old furniture, even old newspapers—all go into informal storage in attic or basement or closet. They may stay there for years, collecting dust and mold, with nothing dangerous happening. Again, they may not—fire, which feeds on such accumulations, may find them. And then all your possessions, no less than the junk, may go up in smoke. Once or twice a year it would be an excellent idea to make a little tour of your home to ferret out such hazards. Charities will be glad to have old clothes, furniture and reading matter. Anything that is useless can go to the junkman or be destroyed in the incinerator. Be especially alert in going through workshop and garage—it is a common habit to leave cans of paint, varnish and other inflammable liquids open. Cleaning rags should always be kept in closed metal containers. Spillage of gasoline or oil should be at once mopped up. Perhaps your home is free of such dangers. If it is, it is very much the exception. The chances are that hazards exist of which you know nothing — hazards that can be easily eliminated once discovered. Look for them now. Don’t put it off until tomorrow— for tomorrow could be too late. Fire can strike tonight as easily as next week or next year.--------------------O-------------------A portable electrically operated device has been invented to test the durability of various kinds of merchandise by subjecting samples to abrasives on a whirling turntable.
