SANDHILLS

The sand hills stretch for mile on mile "Between the sea and land, | ‘A mass of gorse and bramble bush, And glistening powdery sand; The grasses bend in silken wave As far as eye can reach, , There’s a long view of the flat fields, And @ long view of the beach. ‘And all day long the cuckoo calls Amid the hawthorn white, The skylark sings and sings and sings, And when the creeping night , Begins to claim the sand hills, The thrush and blackbird cry, ‘dnd a lone thing in the dim fields Sends forth a harsh reply. And sunset from the sand hills Is a grand breath-taking scene, With a low tide in the far east, And the wet brown sands between; | '4nd the great wonderful orange west, With the grey land lying still, And black cn-the orange the distant trees And. the motionless silent guiil.

The Wearin’ o’ the Green! Feminine eyes flamed, feminine hearts fluttered, as the daring, dashing wearer of that bottle-green suit Jately strode along our conservative Quay. Immaculately tailored, with nice dark stripes to, relieve the monotony, the change from the greys and browns beloved of the male was quite intriguing. Perhaps we shall live to see the scarlet man-so far that being woman’s prerogative! * * & Child Welfare. _ It is a sad thing if children must. be deprived of the experience of growing up in their own homes. Modern child welfare aims to prevent the tragedy, if it is at all possible, though this may involve financial assistance to the family over a period of time. If the child must be separated from his family the aim is to provide him with something as near like his own home .as possible-namely, a carefully chosen and carefully supervised foster home Tf an institution is used at all it should seek through simall cottage umts and understanding staff to duplicate as far as possible the home atmosphere. Always there is the definite Flanning for the time when the child will again be a part of a real family circle in the community. Improvements of child welfare imethods are hrought about by people "who care’-who care enough to work hard and continuously for the less fortunate children of the land.-Margaret Steel Moss, Assistant-Director Pennsylvania Bureau of Children, U.S.A.
