FACTS AND FANCIES
By Mildred Williamson
In school we often heard of
"blue Monday,” and understood
how it came about by tuking too
much of u holiday through the
week-end, and not having prepar-
ed lessons for the day’s schedule,
or being so sleepy on Monday aw
to have to struggle to keep one’s
atention on the lesson. In life on
the farm there Is always some-
thing magic about Mondays, truly
the day of “beginning again”
a new week which the Lord of the
Land has granted his workman
Sometimes its true magic goes
unnoticed. Hut yesterday we felt
some hit of its magic from early
in the morning to late in the even-
ing. For one thing there was some
promise of rain, and the fields
seemed to glow with satisfaction
that warm foggy weather had
come upon the land rather than
a killing dry freeze which would
probably have written off the
grain crop. We felt its promise as
wo went for the young friend who
comes once in a while to make our
house shine, and to carry the
laundry to some other friends
who make the clothes shine with
cleanness. Not often tlo we choose
Monday as washday; but when we
do we feel the thrill of compan-
ionship with the thousands of fel-
low American homemakers who
will have laundry done on Mon-
day whatever the obstacles.
We always enjoy hanging out
the clothes because there is noth-
ing to disturb our reveries, even
though once upon a time a black-
bird dealt a cruel blow to an in-
specting maid who was hanging
out the clothes! We hoped the
clothes would dry before night,
hut the day was too short and the
air too moist. As we finished
gathering the clothes in, we heard
about the total eclipse of the
moon, and we watched Its develop-
ment on many trips to the front
porch, alternating our attention
between the Radio Theater and
the performance In the sky. And
after we went to bed, “ere slum-
ber's chain had hound" us. we
heard hounds on a trail to the

I* ARK GOES TO JAIL BRIEFLY—George Parr, political

Thinking on the simple happen-
ings of the day,- the molsty
morning, the work accomplished,
the fellowship with our friends
and loved ones, the wonder of .lie
entertainment by ether waves,
and of the glories of the heavens
and the sound of the chase, as old
as the human race, all parts of
God’s great universe, we fell
asleep. Not. a blue Monday a
good Monday.
And yet there was sorrow too In
the passing of a young friend.

It’s practically impossible to measure the real value of
your telephone. In shoe leather and energy saved ... in
minutes and hours saved ... in savings of gasoline and
wear-and-tcar on the family car ... in things accomplished
in an ordinary day —your telephone does an enormous job
for • small cost. Today you can Fie here, there, every*
where at once through calls you make and calls you receive.
m
Todays big
bargain
Ik
Telephone service has not gone up in price
nearly as much as most other things you buy.
MOST PEOPLE ‘'pay" their telephone bill
with far fewer hours of work than it took ten
years ago. On top of that, the service is vastly
better—faster, more efficient, and you can call
about twice as many people. But on the other
hand, the service costs far more to supply.
