OLD-AGE SECURITY
Every ambitious young man on the threshold of his career,
determines to be a financial success. He looks ahead to an
old age of leisure and independence—not to an old age of de-
pendence or poverty.

SPRING IN THE ATTIC
Spring is here! And it’s about time for householders to
start their semi-annual housecleaning. While doing that,
they should keep a weather eve out for the common fire
hazards that multiply in homes during the winter season.
Dangerous hazards can be found on every floor of the
average home. Start in the attic—look at those dog-cared
amagazines, finger-marked books that no one will ever read
again, the battered furniture you inherited from Aunt Millie
and put out of sight as rapidly as possible. By disposing of
such junk, the chance of fire can be greatly reduced.
Then come downstairs and go through the closets. There
vou'll find clothes of the 1920 vintage—worn-out dust mops
and cleaning rags and paraphernalia-—waste matter of a
Fire likes nothing better as a starting
point.
The cellar probably resembles the attic—plus a few special
hazards of its own. Paints and varnishes, often found in top-
less cans, are usually inflammable and some are actually ex-
plosive. Gasoline, benzine and solvants have caused many a

The public is cordially invited.
The Bird Sanctuary is at the end
of car line 53; reached also by
Greene street, Wayne avenue or
Wissahickon Avenue North to a-
bove Carpenter Lane, Germantown.
The following published in 1935
gives a graphic account of this rare
entertainment for those who love
birds.
Bright blue skies. Warm sun
and a light breeze. They joined in
providing an ideal setting Satur-
day for the ninth bi-annual pageant
of the Bird Masque presented in
Carpenter's Woods by the pupils of
the Charles W. Henry School, Ger-
mantown,
In the natural amphitheatre, deep
in the woods, some 5,000 apprecia-
tive spectators witnessed the color-
ful scene. “Orchestra” seats were
provided on a level space before the
stage, while the overflow peered
from the slopes of the surrounding
hillside.
The masque presents in dramatic
manner the plea for bird protec-
tion.
The Story It Tells
A little girl enters the woods,
enjoys the flowers and birds, falls
asleep and dreams, This part was
gracefully played by Joy Burd.
Her dream shows the ideal rela-
tionship between birds and man-
kind. In them, children clad in
costumes of different lands go
through their folk dances. An old
English maypole dance takes place.
Everybody is carefree and gay.
But—
Comes the rude awakening to
things as they really are. A gun-
shot is heard. A swarm of hun-
ters takes possession of the scene.
They bang away in loud and in-
creasing crescendo, while the frigh-
tened birds and people crowd to
the back of the stage.
The little girl then seeks the
Spirit of Education, represented by
Edith D. Leigh, attractively clad in
soft Grecian draperies. The fes-
tivities are resumed, only to be a-
bruptly interrupted again by an-
other shot and a gorgeous cardinal
bird is wounded.
Death Dance Grips Spectators
Elizabeth Cope Collins, in a
scarlet costume authentically rep-
resenting the gay coloring of the
school’s own bird, takes the part
f . the wounded cardinal. The
dance of death holds the spectators
spellbound. Mayor Moore was seen
to take out his pocket handker-
chief and touch it furtively to his
eyes, while he whispered, “That got
me!” in a husky aside to Miss
Caroline T. Moffett, supervising
principal of the Henry School, who
is the spirit behind the pageant.
And Judge Harry S. McDevitt was
blinking suspiciously when the bird
had finally given up the struggle
and fluttered to the ground in a
broken little heap.
The Spirit of Education then
takes things in. hand and teaches
the lesson of bird protection. Jan
Kindler, leader of the hunters who
look very attractive in suits of
kahki, with knapsacks and ker-
chiefs of deep, woodsy green, is

Peace reigns once more in
the woodland.
Through the efforts of the Henry
School, peace for birds and other
denizens of the forest actually does
reign in Carpenter's Woods, for 12
years ago it was set aside as a
bird sanctuary, to be guarded by
the pupils of the school.

It is interesting tonote how much
clearer is the conception people
have today of what “interconnecting

tility company than before the re-
cent flood period.
In cities and towns where the
high water caused interruptions of
in Williamsport, Sunbury, Wilkes-
Barre and many other places, the
interruptions of electric service
were minimized because the local
companies could resort tothe inter-

The public is entirely too de-

day to permit long interruptions of
service. This is guarded against by
the modern electric utility com-
panies by their tie-in with neigh-
boring companies.
The vast reservoir of men and
repair material, which can also be
drawn to speed up the restoration
of normal conditions, is no less an
important a factor than the tem-
porary supply of the electric en-
