...sailing. Late this fall, Corny's little sea-green beauty named Dainty-Shields at the tiller and some neighborhood youngster along as crew-will take up where it left off last spring.

They know, for instance, that a robin sings, not because he is happy, but because he has just staked out a claim to a clump of trees or a bride, and his song...
...Chairman Richard Deupree believes that at least 85% of American industrial firms have enough year-round stability in sales to guarantee wages or employment. In hard times, Deupree points out, few companies can keep up the prosperity-level payrolls now being paid. Therefore, either the emphasis must be placed on regular employment (as at P. & G.), or else the wage guaranteed must be well below existing rates.
