The Editorial Page-
We are reminded by C.A.R.E. that there are still thousands of men, women and children in Europe who will be cold and hungry this winter.
CARE Packages
this winter. C.A.R.E., the Co-operative for American Relief to Europe, is a non-profit organization set up by our religious and foreign relief agencies to aid the suffering in war-desolated countries. The need for C.A.R.E.'s textile clothing and food packages has not yet penetrated the iron curtain. This is especially true of the "little men" and their families who cannot share directly in any aid by the Marshall plan.
Kansans have shared in this program to help needy persons by sending C.A.R.E. packages to friends and relatives overseas. Living conditions are now better in many of these countries, and food is becoming more plentiful in France, Italy, and occupied Germany. But none of these countries is as prosperous as it appears to visitors from the United States. Tourists are given the "fat of the land" in the struggle for American dollars.
out of the land in the struggle C.A.R.E. can make our generosity both felt and efficient. A person wanting to send C.A.R.E. packages does not have to specify particular families. If you prefer to have your gifts handled in another manner, the organization is equipped to deliver the bundles to the most needy persons in the destroyed areas.

I know that in your generous dog's heart you have forgotten about it now, but I have not—and I will not. I won't forget the surprised, stricken look on your face when I slapped you across the muzzle. Your barking had annoyed me and I hit you.
I was sitting in my room when I began to think about you. I decided to come down in the basement and make sure you were all right.
It is a chilly night out, Collie, but you are warm in that mass of brown hair and don't even realize the temperature. You don't even realize that I am standing here watching you sleep.
My Old Pup
And when you came in later and rubbed alongside my leg in greeting as I sat in the easy chair, I pushed you roughly away, concerned with my own problems. And then I shoved you down here for the night and went to my room.
You see. I forgot.
I forgot what you have been to me for the last 15 years, old pup. I forgot the hours you have followed me on my bike over the town. I forgot the days of play when you and I romped around the neighborhood.
I forgot, Collie, the way you have always been so glad to see me when I came back home, whether I was gone for five minutes, five hours, or five days. You never forgot to meet me with a grin, yes a grin, and your big dog's paws upon my chest. You never wanted anything but kindness.
I forgot the way you used to come into my room whenever I was sick. Timidly, with your brown eyes, warm and understanding, you came to my bedside, not boisterous or unruly, but softly and gently, and asked me for one soft pat upon the head to assure you that things would be all right. You, who loved the outdoors, would lie quietly, scarcely seeming to breathe, for hours nearby helping me to get well.
I forgot the hours we have spent on the porch steps just looking at nothing and feeling pleased with the world.
I forgot the times you have helped Dad cut the grass, and the times you have stayed home with Mother or Sis and stood ready to sound a warning, at least, if any stranger approached.
I forgot that we grew up together and that no dog will ever mean as much to me as the one that shared my youth. A dog like you fills a big hole in a boy's life.
I forgot that you are growing old and that someday you will not be around. There will be no more happy barks or glad whines. Coming home will be emptier without you, Collie.
Yes, I forgot. But as I stand here watching you, I remember.
I will not forget again. —Douglas Jennings
"Small Things"
According to a Kansan headline of last week, "Students may study Abroad on U.S. Grant, and no doubt they'll do it," even if it takes all summer."
A local daily tells of a tree which is mysteriously uprooted, and starts the story: "Shades of John Bunyan and his blue ox." And we add: "Shades of Paul Bunyan and 'The Pilgrim's Progress.'"
One western Kansas boy says that the new ultra-short coiffures remind him of the farmhand who used to get his haircuts in the fall and spring of the year.
The ghosty leaves fall to the brown earth,
The ghosty leaves fall to the brown earth.
The sharper air heralds the gusty blasts to come
And autumn passes
Into the realm of the Frost Giants.
And soon
Students will be slipping and sliding down 14th street
