SPEAKING TO THE HOME FOLKS Many people used to have the old formal and constrained idea that they should not speak to their townspeople unless they were introduced. Some men would keep meeting neighbours day after day, and never speak to them. It was an idea that created hard feelings, and many people were considered proud, cold an.d hau.ghty.‘ o Toâ€"day people are less formal, and it is a good idea for any man to speak in his home town to every man whose face he recognizes, and to many whom he does not vrecognize. Stiff and formal manners do not maike a good home town. _ _ _ THEY WERE FOOLED There is an interesting little story in the current issue of The Readers‘ Digest and a most amusing one in the light of presert day developments. _ _ .. â€"_._ The management of the Hotel Bristol, in Berlin was auked for a reservation of a room overlooking Unter den Linden, the great full dress parade street in Berlin. The manageâ€" ment replied that it was difficult, with 4,000 patrons, to always be able to give such acâ€" commodation, and at the present juncture (this was July, 1940) the demands for such rooms. overlooking the main ‘* wroughfare, were terrific. However, one room would be reserved but with this provision : When "our victorious troops come marching home" you will hnvewauowfonrorfiveotherpeople within your n:om tgwatc’h the.mmh past. ~ In other words, in July, 1940, it was all over except the shouting.

Whereas people‘in genersai continue to think some winters are worse than others, it has always seemed to me that any winter at all is sufficiently adequate, and if the temâ€" perature errs, it errs on the downward side.
