TAGE FIVE
The Butterfly’s
Trail
By ALBERT MARY TliWEATT
THOl GUT FOR THE WEEK:
Tnto each life some rain
must fall."
A TRIBLTE TO DR. N. II.
COLLIER
It seems like a dream, more
than a reality to hear one say,
Dr. Collier has passed!" Those
voids struck hundreds or per-
naps vve should say thousands,
as a dagger on last Friday
night. A gloom began to spread
over the entire city almost in
a matter of minutes, then tele¬
graph messages and long dis-
tance calls were on the
waves.
An inspired selection from
Franklin seems fitting at this
time. "We are spirits—That
todies should be lent us, while
they can afford us pleasure,
assist us in acquiring knowledge,
or in doing good to our fellow
creatures, is a kind and benev¬
olent act of God. When they
become unfit for these purposes,
and afford us pain instead of
pleasure, instead of an aid, be¬
come an incumbrance, and
answer none of the intentions
for which they were given, it
is equally kind and benevolent,
(hat a way is provided by which
we may get rid of them.—
Death is that way. Our friend
and we were invited abroad on
a party of pleasure, which is
to last forever. His chair was
ready first and he has gone on
before us. Wc could not all con-
veniently start together; and
why should you and I be grieved
at this, since we are soon to
follow, and know where to find
him.”
Dr. Collier will be greatly
missed by many. His
smile always made one feel at
perfect ease when in his pres-
enc. He was always ready and
willing to do his duty and could
be depended on. Kindly minis-
trations of hundreds of friendly
hands and sympathetic hearts
have attested his worth. From
every walk of life they
surrounded his bereaved wife
and the family—to do what
must be done for a loved one.
His operation was successful
but a heart attack proved
He had hoped to return to his
home over the weekend. He
worked too hard, his hours too
Jong, didn’t take time for the
much needed rest, all because '
he wanted to serve his patients,
his obligations, his affiliations,
and iiis home well.
And to his lovely and devoted j
wife who has been a constant
companion, inspiration, com¬
fort — Remember, Mrs. N. H.
i Nancy i, God has not prom¬
ised skies always blue—flower
strewn pathways all our lives i
through. God has not promised
sun without rain—joy without i
sorrow, peace without pain, i
But God has promised strength;
for each day—rest for the
laborer, light on the way, un
failing sympathy, undying love.
Be strong. God never puts on 1
us more that we are able to I
bear.
So. this column’s sympathy
to the heart-stricken family
and a special tribute to one*
who possessed a heart of gold—
DR. N. H. COLLIER. !

“WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A REPORTER?”
asks WILLIAM G. NUNN, Sr.
Managing Editor of the Pittsburgh Courier
The first thing a cub reporter learns is
that every news story has to answer
five questions and fast: Who? What?
Where? When? Why?
It isn’t always easy. Once we dug
three months for a single “who.” We
finally got it and scooped the country

a lot. And a lot, like me, smoke Luckies.
Why Luckies? 1 can’t talk for every¬
body, hut 1 can tell you why this news¬
paperman smokes them. They taste bet¬
ter to me than any other cigarette.
Reporting on Luckies
We’re glad William Nunn brought up that
matter of taste. Most people, when they stop
to think about it, agree that ta. le is what
counts in a cigarette. And Luckies taste better.
Two facts explain Luckies’ better taste. First,
they’re made of fine tobacco. L.S. M F T.—
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Second,
Luckies are made better to taste better . . .
always firm and fully packed to smoke freely
and evenly.
So, for the smoking enjoyment you get from
better taste, Be Happy—Go Lucky.
Remember, Luckies are made by The Amer¬
ican Tobacco Company, America’s leading
manufacturer of cigarettes.
