t I: i- ROOFS By Joyce Kilmer The road is wide and the stars are out and the breath of the night is sweet, _ And this is the time when wanderlust should seize u on my feet. Butpl'm glad to turn from the open road and the starlight on my face, And to leave the splendour of out-ofâ€"doors for a. human dwelling place. i never have seen a vagabond who really liked to roam All up and down the streets of the world and not to have a home: ‘ The tramp who slept in your barn last night and left at break of day Will wander only until he finds another place to stay. A gypsyâ€"man will sleep in his cart with canvas overhead; Or else he’ll go into his tent when it is time for bed. He‘ll sit on the grass and take his ease so long as the sun is high, But when it is dark he wants a roof to keep away the sky. If you call a gypsy a vagabond, 1 think you do him wrong, _ For he never goes a-traveiling but he takes his home along. And the only reason a road is good, as every wanderer knows. 15 just because of the homes, the homes, the homes to which it goes. They say that life is a highway and its milestones are the years, And now and then there's a toll-gate where you buy your way with tears. it's a rough road and a steep road and it stretches broad and far. But at last it leads to a Golden Town where golden Houses are. 3 1‘ 1% Teens and Twenties Nights EARNING through our press clipping serv- ice that Phelps Women’s Institute in Nipissing District was sponsoring “Teens and Twenties Nights,” social gatherings for the young people of their community, the Editor wrote the Institute for more informaâ€" tion in case their undertaking might offer a suggestion to other branches.

Mrs. Alf, H, Morris. the social evenâ€" ings were held in the community hall, “es« pecially for the younger of the young people,” Mrs. Morris reports, “so that they could get together with other young people and learn how to mix as well as how to dance,” Mrs. Morris added. “We wanted to give the young people something to do in line with their age group. No drinking is allowed at these events and they are always Well supervised.” 28 Each evening the programme begins \mh some good mixing games. At first the supra: visors tried new games each evening to SE8 which the young people liked best. For mm of the dances the boys and girls have to match numbers for their partners, or match (inky mas cards cut in half or follow sonar my; such plan to assure that no one is left out of things and that they all get to know [W- an- other.
