LANDLORD
What do I mean by calling YOU my "landlord"? Well, whether you realize it or not, probably you own at least part of
the powerhouse where I'm hard at work turning out electric
power at even less than low prewar prices.
You see, it's this way. Even If you haven't invested money
directly in the electric industry, chances are you DO have
savings account or insurance policy. And that's enough to make
you one of my "landlords," for your bank or insurance company
invests some of your money in sound, business-managed electric
companies. IN FACT, the electric light business is owned by MORE people in all walks of life than any other business in
America!

Party Will Mark Closing Day at Girl Scout Camp
Camp Maude Eaton, the Girl Scout camp on Pomps Pond, will close on Friday with a gala party to be held from 2:30 to 9:00 p. m. The party, which will include for-mer campers as well as those now in camp, will have a lively program of swimming, sports, a scavenger hunt, movies and a campfire. Sup-per will be served to all those present.
The twenty-two girls now left in camp will leave for home the fol-lowing day.
NOTICE
In a statement issued litst night. Postmaster Stephen A. Boland strongly urged all veterans of World War II who are making ap-plication for the Massachusetts bonus to be sure to register their discharge papecs to the state and to enclose a Postal Note in the amount of 20 cents to cover fee for the return of these original dis-charge papers and bonus checks by registered mail.
According to the Postmaster, it is required by the Commonwealth that veterans shall submit their original discharge papers. Photo-static copies of the discharge papers shall not be accepted. A great many veterans apparently do not realize that, in the event of loss, these original papers cannot be replaced. They are the most valued possession of a veteran and it has been observed that some vet-erans are trusting these to ordi-nary mail with no record of actual delivery.
GUEST AT SHOWERS Mrs. Arthur M. Ness, the former
Mary Duff, 59 Maple avenue, was feted at two showers recently in honor of her recent marriage. Her co-workers in the office of the Tyer Rubber company tendered her a party at the Capri cafe in Law-rence, and presented her with a corsage and a purse of money.
A shower and farewell party was held in her honor in St. Augustine's school hall, where she was also pre-sented with a purse of money and a corsage.
NEW HOURS AT SHAWSHEEN PLAYGROUND
For the rest of the season the Shawsheen playground will open mornings at 10 o'clock, and close for the day at 5 o'clock in the after-noon.
This is an experiment which is being tried out on 'the Shawsheen playground. In the past, the play-ground has been open from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until (lush, but the attendance has been light in the evenings, and it is thought that the earlier opening might prove more satisfactory.

LIBRARY NOTES
The books listed below do, we believe, offer good entertainment for those moments of relaxation which we all seek at some tin4 or other. Not that books written with a light touch are necessarily time-wasters, for it takes talent to write a good diverting book, be it fiction, poetry, essay or travel. Why not se-lect a few for your lighter read-ing moments? If these do not ap- peal, there are many more in the library's collection that may.
THREE MEN IN A BOAT, Je-rome. An old favorite, still extreme-ly funny, which is guaranteed to fill the bill if you want something to read aloud. An account, with witty digressions, of a boating trip up the Thames.
DIARY OF OUR OWN SAMUEL PEPYS, Adams. Extracts from F. P. A.'s column, "The Conning Tower," which appeared in several of 'the New York papers. The diary forms a chronicle of what was going on, the .plays, the books, the people in the public eye. Makes di-vreting reading if not taken in too large doses.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, Bemelmans. If you haven't made Bemelmans' ac-quaintance yet, you'd better begin with this book. Delightful, gay tales, illustrated by the author, founded on actual experience.
FOR AUTHORS ONLY, Roberts. A popular novelist turned essayist
with pleasing results. Particularly recommended: A Few Remarks on Exercise, When in Rome.
THE ENCHANTED VOYAGE, Nathan. A hen-pecked carpenter builds a boat in his back yard. What happens when the boat takes off on an enchanted voyage that leads to anywhere makes good reading.
THE EDUCATION OF HYMAN KAPLAN, Rosten. A group of humorous sketches, which first ap-peared in the New Yorker, about Hyman Kaplan, a zealous if some-what irrepressible member of the American Night Preparatory School for Adults.
ARCHY'S LIFE OF MEHITABEL, Marquis. "Typing with great effort, since he hits the keys with his head and is unable to work the shift," Archy the Cockroach acts as Bos-well to Mehitabel the Cat and pounds out her life story. To quote Archy, "mehitabel is a cat that has seen better days. . . toujours gai is ever her word."
WE MARRIED AN ENGLISH-MAN, Hoffman. "An irrepressible brace of twins who lived for two years on an airplane base in Iraq and were unable to take any of it seriously."
ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, Pa-pashvily. A joyous book, with an undercurrent of rare wisdom, about George, who left his native Georgia and of his adventures in this cowl try in making a living and becoming a part of America. The author's own unique use of English adds a good bit to gthe charm of the book .
WHEN THE CAT'S AWAY, Bul-lett. "Rollicking story of a strayed black cat, a scrambled romance, with a perfectly good outcome, all scened in a quiet English village."
ONE MAN'S MEAT, White. De-ceptively simple, these articles, pre-viously published • in Harpers and the New Yorker, are written in a humorous vein and present E. B. White's penetrating views on many phases of American life.
MR. BEAMISH. "Mr. Beamish, a rotund, philosophically inclined lit-tle proof-reader, numbers a vast circle of friends: old books on the 3-for-25 counters that no one else buys, Mephistopheles and Dr. John-son, who chat with h)m at home, a lively puppy, iss Hoyden, and a cat, a lilac-eyed copy-holder who chews gum, and a young advertising man who wonders about love. . ."

TAPS threatening a vital position in the Solomon Islands were
thwarted largely through the leadership of Staff Sgt. Floyd E. Hill, Marshville, N. C., who has been awarded a Silver Star posthumously. As leader of an antitank section, he was ordered to support a rifle platoon and to have his positions dug and ready when the enemy struck. The big gun that War Bonds helped to provide for those men was ready when the Nips_struck. Sgt. Hill, wounded, helped his men to completely rout the enemy. U. S. Treasury Department
