TRIM, SQUARISH,
TLE HOUSE, each glittering casement flanked by dimmed blue shutters, standa eyeing the calm harbour water softly lapping a verdant hillside. Blossoming olean- ders of rose and white screen this gracious abode and benignly rebuff the too in- quisitive eye which might seek to look within. A gent. ly arching doorway set in the grey stone garden wall, bur- dened with flaming bourgain- villea, gives upon the grassy, acacia-lined public footpath. The rays of the climbing sun dissipate subtle floral odours
upon the rising breeze. Beneath the dappled, shifting shade lounges a jocund, white- furred, blue-eyed kitten, idly seeking youthful diversion. And benevolently entertaining the kitten, as though time were ageless, squats & flesh- less, gaunt, old, bony figure.". Neat he is, though the old cloth cap beneath which the kindly peering eyes glitter, is bleached and misformed by sun, rain and wind, as he gently entices Felixina. Firm and confident companions they seem to be, this wrinkles, uged Asiatic and the infant feline, an yet on the verge of life's sorrows.

In the civilised world, men carry scraps of coal or minia- ture horse-shoes to ward off ill-fortune. Girls wear ma- gic symbols on bracelets.
Frith, however fantastic or ill-placed, has its value. Con- fidence in one's fute is a source of moral strength.

And now that war is the world's big headache, millions are searching for a pain- killer.
They find it in one or an- other form of supersiltion, and swallow the dope blindly.
Religion has little grip on the larger part of the com- munity. We are only just emerging from the age when preachers evoked fantasies of a flaming hell, presided over by a devil in red tights who wielded a vicious toasting fork.
It was awe-inspiring stuff for children, but on adult na- turally felt it was on a par with the yarns of a Father Christmas who came down the chimney.
So religion failed while superstition gained ground,
Yes, the world still craves for faith-faith in something.
False gods, make-believe Messiahs, have commanded enormous followings. Magic- mongers in Timbuctoo and in Mayfair find eager customers.

We may lose sight of the urgency of con- tinued endeavour. Our chances, lucky or otherwise, must be supported by work and determination. Only these can make the chance we have into a certainty of vic- tory.

Without exception they pro- sper (as well they may when Chinese chef can command wage of £5 or £6 a week); are universally approved of and constitute law-abiding, respectable and respected citizens, welcomed in a.Innd. of still unexploited opportuni- ties for those able and willing to work with the hands, sup- plemented, naturally, with at least a modicum of brains.
