Usually she liked to scrub the kitchen floor, revelling happily in the soap- suds, the smooth rotary motion of the brush, and the resultant sparkl- ing cleanliness. But one morning Little Hattie was feeling a bit disgruntled. It _ was the appointed day to scrub the kitchen floor, but the prospect did not enchant. On one slim pretext or another she postponed the evil hour until suppertime. Supper time furnished one more workable alibi, for no one could reasonably expect a kitchen floor to be scrub- bed around the hurrying feet of the family matriarch. But after the supper dishes were put away, Nemesis caught up with Little Hattie. “Hattie”, said her mother firmly, “are you or are you not going to get that floor scrubbed sometime this month ?” Little - Hattie squirmed and hedged. ‘Mamma, I'll do it first thing in the morning, honest I will. I don’t WANT to do it tonight. Be- sides”, a happy afterthought, “Tve got my homework to do.” “Very well,” said Hattie’s mam- ma, a lady of unfailing resource and humor and a unique method of dealing with the recalcitrant, “if you don’t feel like doing your job, I WILL DO IT MYSELF.” “Oh Mamma”, wailed Little Hat- tie in horror, and with a premoni- tion of what was in the wind,” you mustn’t scrub the floor. I'LL do it first thing in the morning, cross my heart and hope to die. Please, Mamma, PUH-LEASE.” “Hattie”, pronounced her mother with outward decision and inner relish, “not only will I scrub this floor here and now, but YOU WILL SIT AND WATCH ME DO IT.” Hattie’s mamma rolled up her sleeves, filled a steaming bucket, and made a wholly unnecessary show of creaking joints in getting groaningly to her knees. With a deep and lugubrious sigh she rubbed a bar of yellow soap on the brush and set to work. Poor Little Hattie, tears running down her cheeks and diluting the suds, perched miserably on the ex- treme edge of a kitchen chair in the exact center of the kitchen floor. “Please, Mamma, please stop scrubbing the kitchen floor”, she howled. “Honest, Mamma, I'll never put it off again.” “Hattie”, said her mother, en- joying herself hugely but preserving a poker face, “I will finish this floor if it kills me. My back may drop in two,” here she clutched the specified portion of her anatomy and emitted a hollow groan, “but I always finish what I start. And let this be a lesson to you, young lady.” As the froth of suds advanced to- ward Little Hattie, Little Hattie drew her shrinking toes further and further aloft to avoid being engulfed by the rising tide. Her mother scrubbed all’ around the chair of penance until Little Hattie was isolated, a lone and despondent little island in a sea of suds. Just as she felt that she could bear it no longer, that human mis- ery had been pushed as far as it could go, her mother gave the glistening floor one final swipe, rinsed the brush and scrub-cloth briskly in the bucket, and removed Little Hattie from her perch with a forgiving hand. I have always laughed at that story, but not because of the vision of Little Hattie sitting on her chair while her mother scrubbed the floor. It is because of the horrid conviction of the reactions of my own offspring if faced with the same situation. I can see them now, all four of them, perched in points of vantage around the’ kitchen. The pronouncement as to the kitchen floor is made. It goes something like this: “Well, if one of you lazy bums isn’t going to come across and scrub this floor, I suppose I'll be driven to doing it myself.” Cheers from the onlookers. “Stout fella, Mamma. And while you're about it, you'd better just swish out the pantry, too. It's a sight. Shows up your housekeep- ing something terrible.” The spectators arrange them- selves comfortably in grandstand seats, and the exhibition gets under way. “Lookit, Mamma, you missed that spot under the stove. Right there, near that far hind leg.” “Hey, Mamma, how about that pool’ of water in front of the sink. You ought to get it good and dry. One of us might slip in it.’ “Why don’t you do a good thor- ough job while you're at it? The er will present a recital in Dallas Methodist Church this evening, June 30 at 8 o'clock.

Well, as I said before, the oblique method would never work around here. The thing that really works, and to everybody's complete sat- isfaction, including that of the vic- tim, is a bald statement of fact and a laying down of law. “Hey, you, you've got just half an hour to get that floor spotless, and I don’t mean maybe. And it better be good OR ELSE.” BATTERY a ELECTRICAL ; ‘Service FOR ALL MOTOR 4 ? IEE EL Prices UDOLPHS' "ELECTRIC SY RVICE 33-35°E.

The boats float down by parachutes to American, British or other Allied airmen who have crashed at sea. When they clamber aboard, the men find food, supplies, and an engine which enables them to reach a home port. Many airmen already owe their lives to this ingenious craft.
