BOXED SUNSHINE

fiIHAR j , Already there is a thin film of frost in the air; the sky has taken on a paler shade of blue and. ragged cloud, reflections go chasing each other across a nti'stu harbour. This might me permissible during ipril—or even March—but February is out of the question. William Weatherman must have gone off on his holidays and left the weather to take care of itself! I shall hare to borrow some holidays, too. mid. see if J can- find him. Most likely he is warming his toes and dozing in. his favourite armchair, for tvhen IT illiam is not. bothering about touching up tarnished sunbeams with, a glint of gold and a handful of sparkles, measuring off lengths of cloud, bottling breezes and mysterious things like that, there, is nothing he likes better than a. crackl'd fire and an armchair without any bumps in the cushion. And sunbeams and fireplaces remind inc of something else. Sunshine Bo.r. Funshine Hur's diet of used stamps is getting a little monotonous. and yesterday I detected a tear sliding down his varnished face. Xow that there are long evenings to be spent in front of the fire, why not accompany the merry crackle of the logs with the song of a sewing needle or a pair of scissors? Then we will soon have qur Bo.r back to his sunny self again.

During the year all manner of things are added to Sunshine Bo.r—dressed dolls, scrapbooks, games, sluffed toys and. woolly animals- —and lots of things-to-do. And at each gift. Sunshine Bo.r s smile grows a little wider and his broad beams radiate a little further across the room. This year, despite war work and- fund-raising, 7 want Sunshine Bo.r Io he as merry and bright as ever. Then we can send him off tn scatter his gifts from the hoys and girls of "The .Junior Dominion among the girls and. boys at the Otal.'i Health Camp. This is another wail in which you can do your bit. members all, so how about settindto and making something' that will banish Sunshine Bor's tears? And now I must hurry off and find William.
