Pot o' Gold at
Smith's Awaits
Metal to Melt
A pot of gold sitting, not at the end
of the rainbow, but in the window
at Smith's book store with a glowing
fire under it is waiting for the gold
to melt, so it can be made into nickels
and dimes and quarters for the little
war orphans in France.
No doubt everyone has searched for
the pot of gold at the end of the rain-
bow, but no one ever found it. Avia-
tors high in the clouds have seen the
rainbow spread out below them, and
they say that there is no pot of gold
at either end of it.
Then, although it is impossible to
to find the pot of gold, it is not im
possible to prepare one for the
f rench children who are suffering for
thel ack of money to buy food. This
Pot of gold at Smith's book store is
a melting pot partially filled with
old-fashioned silver and gold trays
souvenir spoons and tarnished gold
chains, but their value for hungry-
children is far greater than th« lux-
urious wealth supposde to be contain-
ed in the pot of gold at the end of
ethe rainbow. The fact that it is
grandmother's dinner pot in which
she used to cook turnips does not de-
tract from its value and purpose.
Miller Evans, son of Mrs. Anna B
Evans of Norman, writes his mother
a letter from somewhere in France
and tells her, "I am so far from the
firing line I can't even hear the guns.
Why worry?'" Evans enlisted May
1 and was sent to Camp Travis,
where he was trained a month before
p ng overseas. He is a pharmacist
in the medical reserve corps. He for
merly attended the unrversity
The following is the letter which he
writes:
