And chalice lilies incensed the | air; The daisies brought petals for a bu shroud, | And a butterfly hovered above her bier | } ‘he setting sun caressed her lips, And a bird thrilled a chant with all his might. A wild rose clung to her finger | tips, | And the blue-belis tolled through the quiet night.

A good driver is one who adapts his driving to the conditions under which he - is driving.” In conclusion Raines read a verse which highlighted his talk: “TE If every one who drives a -car, could lie a month. in. bed; With broken bones: and stitched up wounds, and fractures of the head; And there endure the that many people do; | They'd never need preach safety any more to me or you. everyone could stand beside the bed of somé dear friend, And hear the Doctor . say © “no hope” before the fatal end, ; And -see him ‘there unconscious, never knowing what. took place; The laws and rules of traffie, I'm | sure, we'd soon embrace. i If everyone could meet the wife and children Jeft behind, | And step into the darkened home where once the sunlight shone; And gaze upon the Chair", where Daddy sit, I'm sure ‘each reckless driver would be forced to think a bit.

Peter Newton Ford, and his professional name. Glenn is one actor who is as much a favorite with the older movie goers as the teen-age set. As a result, he’s one of the busiest actors in pictures. Since his discharge from the Marines following World War II, Glenn has toplined the casts of more than 22 films. And he’s played opposite some of our most important feminine stars, like Bette Davis and Rita Hayworth.
