There are no rules for "Brotherhood" but we take our ideals and try how far we can go with them. " Shall we take home with us from every ser- mon some one phrase , at least , to remember? • _—^——^——, VALENTINE PARTY The upper grades of the Chinch School also had their Valentine par- ty, willi their teachers In charge.

The Circle continues to add new members at almost every meeting and the interest and cour- | age increases.

Purdue as speaker. « BRUSH FIRE The Fire Department was called out last week to a small brush Are on Route 28. (From a Piraonal Letter rro m Mrs. Mercler In Llnz) "The grand box of clothing you sent arrived this afternoon and we will give it out this week. We do so thank you for sending it, as cloth- ing Is one of the greatest needs at present. It is true that a large per- centage of the people do not get all they want to eat and especially they do not get those eating lux- uries, such as oranges, which have been appearing in the market for the last few weeks. They are still much too expensive for the ordi- nary family to purchase. On the other hand , because of a raise In wages ami pensions the average family can now afford to buy the basic rations and perhaps u little of the unrntioned food . But they do not have any money for clothing, which Is still way too high. "Since the llrst of January, I have been doing all the welfare investi- gation work for the Linz group, which surel y keeps me busy but also is very interesting. I huve been In all types of families and dwellings , both Austrian and D.P.— and some ate so spotless though so poor and meagei ly furnished. In all the homes the first request and often the only request is for cloth- ing and especially clothing for chil- , dreh. We continue to do our own private welfare work, too , usually working through the local Protes- tant ministers or helping families recommended to us by other Amer- icans. Last Tuesday a D.P. lady came to the house, having been sent to me by an American in the neighborhood. Her husband had lost a leg, so the only work he can do Is to help clean up around the D.P. camp in which they live . She had live boys between three and 14 and I was worried for a while whether I could tjnd clothing for all of them since boys' clothing is always so nun h more scarce than girls '. I did get them one outllt apiece finally and the mother was so overcome that I thought she was going to break down and weep as some of them do. The worst of helping peo- ple in camps Is that one person tells another , so that we could have a steady stream coming to the house. Since we do not have nea r enough clothing for all, I have to limit our giving to those 1 know somewhat. "Tonight is a P.T.A. meeting und dinner. We have a very enthusias- tic group. We have had a very mild winter for the most part but I never saw so much fog in my life. We had so little precipitation that at one time we had no electricity four or (I re afternoons in the week to save water power . Now we only lose It for two afternoons. We have had practically all our cold weather and snow in the last month , but we have also had almost all our sun- shine then , too, so we have not so much minded the Winter weather. "Life goes on in about the same channels. We have been In Llnz now for about 15 months which is something for us. "Thanks ugain for the clothing and food. Harold will take the food to two families in Salzburg who are very hard up this winter. One family has almost no Income and the second has been plagued by almost continuous sickness. Milk and cocoa will be such a hel p to the children in both families. Sin- cerely. Jean Mercier ." This letter has been quite fully printed because It has a message for us who may see In It a way that we can extend "brotherhood" and know that there Is splendid cooper- ation on the other side and what i we can do Is not wasted but meets very essential needs. SCHOOL PARTIES Valentine parties were held In all the grades at the Centerville School. In the Btli and 8th grad/ room the party was arranged and directed by Shirley Anderson, chair- man, Marjorie Soule, Dudley Fer- nnndes , Judith Pierce and Ronald Perry. Refreshments were served , Valentines exchanged and a sur- prise gift of a large heart-shaped box of candy presented tb the teacher, their well-loved Miss Har- riet Chace. A group of students made Valentine place mats to be used on trays for the patients at Pocasset Hospital. This was a Jun- ior Red Cross project. The school has begun work on an outdoor pa- geant to be given In May. It Is to include folk dancing, singing, drama and instrumental work . Every child In school will be included in the program. It gives loyal Centerville people a great feeling of satisfac- tion to know that we have a good school , well conducted , In a fine building, und under the very shadow of our homes. SCOUT NEWS "Huiltting boys Is better than mending them." So say Scout lead- ers and so say we. Four of our Boy Scouts hiked on Wednesday to the old Camp Grounds in Yarmouth where we are told that some of the "doll houses" still remain. The boys were Martin Walsh, William Walsb , Stanley Crosby and Peter Doiron. 99TH BIRTHDAY Centerville regards with Interest, affection and pride our oldest resi- dent , Mrs. Drusilla Whitford , who will , with her friends , observe her 99th birthday on Saturday, Feb. 20, when Mrs. Percy Rabbins , with whom she makes her home, will have "open house" for the occasion. We all unite in congratulations and good wishes. The date of her birth- day is February 28. ROVING READER While still working along on "Ruintree County," which, as she has said , Is not "light reading," the Roving Reader has been trying to lind a story written some time ago which was, she believes, called "Quality " and is now being made Into a "movie" by Fox.

Your Questions Please January 26, 1949 To the Editor of the Patriot: If you have or can obtain any Information on a law now on the statutes which permits hunting with bow and arrow, I would be glad to know what it is. It there is such a law , this new bill it would appear need not ask for permis- sion to do so, Margaret Coffin, (Mrs . Rockwell Coffin) Harwichport. Answer: There Is such a law on the statute books of the Common- wealth and that part of it perti- nent to your question Is reproduced below. It appeavs that the proposed law is designed to set aside a sep- arate season for bow and arrow use. » Annotated Laws of Massachusetts, Chapter 131, Section 80. Subject to the restrictions and provisions contained in this sec- tion . . . any person duly author- ized to bunt In the Commonwealth may hunt n doer, by the use of a shotgun not turgor than a ten guage, or bow and arrow, In all counties between the hours of hall past six o'clock In the morning eastern stundnrd time, and five o'clock in the afternoon , eastern standard time, of euch day begin nlng with the first Monday in De- cember and ending with the follow- ing Saturday . . . No person shall kill more than one deer. CRITICISM Justly to discriminate , firmly t( establish, wisely to prescribe, ant honestly to award—these are th< true aims und duties of criticism - Slmtns. It is our pride that makes an other s criticism rankle, our self will that makes another 's deed of fensive, our egotism that feeli hurt by another's self-assertion - Mary Baker Eddy.

The winter air is invigorating and cold and clean , but utterly without fragrance. One searches the air cur- rents, like a dog, for some of the lute summer's distilled sweetness which has saturated our senses for so many months. I catch a spicy brown aroma about the old linden tree whose lime blossoms were such a foil for bees in June. A little old and dry and faint , but I detect it—or imagine I do. Suddenly as I kneel in a thicket to take shelter from the wind , I brush a stand ol bayberry or fern , and lo, summer is all about me. Not a swallow making a summer, nor a rose—but one's nose. January Is the month of the prim rose light In the late afternoons, There is twilight again , so welcome after the quick drawing in ot nlgii for so many brief December days. A lemon full moon comes up about sapper time behind the church tower. In such a magic glow the vil- lage church is a castle In "falrle lands forlorneV. Later there she la again, risen across the sky, shining through the gndrled branches ot the apple tree, while an hour later at the library, there I find her again, less gold and more silver , queen of the night, radiant through the east window, bringing into fo- cus the old pine hung with cones by the door. January, February ana March are the months of the owl, too, His love can be contained no longer in his tiny frame—(for this is the little screech owl, and he is a mite, for an owl). So, sitting ot tiie same trees as in other years, he begins his plaintive notes on some soft night till the air vibrates with his passion. Not beautiful, you might add. (There ARE people who object to the hyla chorus in spring.) Perhaps not—in strictest terms—but tbat song, and song lt is, to a quiet little grey \aAy on a distant tree across the swamp—is so warm and vibrant, so fraught with owl feeling, so characteristic of later winter in country placeB, that to me it is a thrilling ex- perience. One early evening in late winter upon hearing this little resident of our woods and fields, we hurried , into warm clothes, armed our- selves with flashlights and field glasses, and down the hill to the owl tree. Not very polite humara he must have thought—(and I agreed with him) Bpylng on thli early Romeo of late winter. Then he was erect on the same old pint, quiet as we stared at him, hlB heal moving from side to side as we flashed our light upon him. We called in our neighbors till the solo- ist had quite an audience whlcb he bore with patiently, though lie declined to sing again. So hushed were we—a half dozen or more of us—we spoke in the sofest sow- ers (so excited was the ten-yesroW among us that she looked at the bird with the glasses wrong etii to). A stranger might have thought we were observing the rarest sight in the world. And so we were. Were we not witnesses of and sharers in another ot nature's miracles?
