A moment ot kindness ... a day of cheer
Interesting, isn’t it, how some animals steal their way right into your
heart? . . . Take a frisky pup for example, or a playful kitten or
doe or calf. One look from those soulful eyes and the strongest
man surrenders.
Most folks feel that animal friends add a lot to the fun of living, that
they play an important part in our lives. A fellow feels proud of their
confidence because it tells the world the sort of person he is.
Cultivate the good things. Enjoy and treasure them , , , and be sure
to include among them the friendly cheer and cool refreshment of
grand-tastin' Grand Prize. A beverage of moderation . . . Grand Prize
is one of the pleasures that add much to the joy of living.

The bells in the engine room ring excited orders
. . . The transport veers sharply in its course . . .
“Wheiu,” whistles the captain as the tin fish passes
harmlessly by, 44that was a close call.”
Already a subchaser was racing to the spot
where the enemy submarine crash-dived. The

Though it had been weeks since the Y-guns had
seen action, every part of the mechanism func-
tioned perfectly. Non-corrosive grease, marine
paints, rust preventives protected all working parts
against the insidious attacks of the salt air of the
