There isn't a line about glamour in it. Not long ago a girl died whose name was synonymous with glamour to hundreds and thousands of people. All the newspapers spoke of that. But what they didn't tell their readers were the things which those who were her friends knew — that she was brave and sweet, that she was generous and happy-hearted, that she had never been known to say an unkind word about anybody. None of the qualities her friends knew and loved in her were glamourous— why, they are qualities your little old grandmother had, or your mother, or your next-door neighbor. Human quali ties, rare perhaps, but still to be found in a bewildered world. And long after glamour has been forgotten or another word coined to express its effect upon the observer, these qualities of character and spirit will be remembered by those who knew her. Well, then, glamours all right, in its place. But don't let it get out of hand. And when you look in your mirror and tell yourself sadly, "I'm afraid I'm not glamourous," don't be downhearted, hor this emphasis on glamour seems to be a sort of unlikely escape in a world that is certain of the future. If someone would find a way to make character seem glamourous to humanity, we'd have no reason to fear the future — ever. Words With Wings (Continued from page 29) ONE question every college freshman should decide at once, if he hopes for a happy and healthful life. He must make up his mind that he is not going to exploit the world, but serve it. Moses came out of Pharaoh's palace and went down to see his enslaved fellow countrymen and observe their burdens. That was the beginning of great things for him. And every college student, in thought and imagination at least, should frequently leave the palatial university buildings and go down where people bear heavy burdens, on the farms, in the mines, and in the whirring factories. The student who is not determined to sell his life dear in lifting the burdens of humanity is not fit to be in school. —Dr. Rollin H. Walker, former Professor in Ohio Wesleyan University, in a talk on Let's Talk it Over. NBC IT'S always been my contention that 'real horse lovers are not gamblers! It's a whole lot more fun for me to see a colt come out in front when I have watched him from babvhood in the fields than it is to win a long shot on a horse I don't know anything about — Mrs. Clara Bell Walsh, noted sportswoman, on Col. Jack Major's program, CBS THE sort of emergency we had in 1933 is obviously ov.er, for the moment; prosperity has come back, for the people who have got it. But there are millions of people in this country who haven't got it, any more than they had it in 1929. Just how many really unemployed we have nobody knows . . . but it is certainly a great many — enough to make it a little ridiculous to talk about prosperity. We have millions of unemployed and we have a national debt of thirty-seven billion dollars — which Congress has shown no inclination so far, to cut down. Mr. Roosevelt may have been a little late in getting around to an attempt to balance the budget; but at least he is trying to save money now. That is more than you can say for most of his opponents in Congress. — Elmer Davis, author and lecturer, on CBS WITH all my heart and soul, I do believe that a man and a woman can really love an adopted child as well as they could their own flesh and blood. I have seen it proven over and over again, hundreds upon hundreds of times in twenty-three years. Parenthood is a stewardship, not an ownership. There is no difference, no difference whatever, in quality, degree or kind between the love of a woman for her adopted child and the love of a mother for her own bah v. —Mrs. William B. Walrath, founder of "The Cradle", famous foundling home in Evanston, 111., in an interview on the Vallee program, NBC. THERE is something sad about a man ' or woman who has grown old in years and not in wisdom, who did not learn the lesson of self-reliance. Their years were spent in objective pleasures; they know not how to look within. Everyone should find his greatest companionship within himself. It is seldom that we find out how great are our resources until we are thrown upon them. -The Wise Man. NBC. THE way to economize is not to do it ■ all on the things you enjoy If vou spend everything on the necessary things, life gets pretty grim, even if you have elegant versions of the necessities — like a big house and handsome furnishings and a smart location. I believe in putting balanced rations into economy, as well as into most other things, and having your full proportion of orchids — or good times, or luxuries, or whatever you want to call them. — Marjone Hillis. author of "I lve Alone and Like It" and "Orchids on Your Budget," on the Let's Talk it Over program.
