BILL SAMPSON BACK F'ROM FISHING TRIP

Bill Sampson, Sampson Company, Pasadena, is back from a ten days' fishing trip to Guymas, Mexico. He was accompanied by a party of friends.

Bill reports that they had one rather unusual happening, starting out one morning at 7:0O a.m. and didn't get back until 1O:30 a.m. the next morning. The motor in the boat broke down and they spent the night rowing and drifting around. The oars, says Bill, were about 1 x 7 inches in width and t2 feet long, and it was all one man could do to just handle one of them. When they got within sight of the shore, another boat came out and brought them in. It was a long time between meals and going without a drink of rvater. Bill states.

However, he said they caught lots of fish and had a fine time.

Vagabond Editorials

In time of war we read and hear much of COURAGE. Back in the days of the first World War I saw a cartoon in an English magazine on that subject, that impressed itself so indelibly on my mentality that wherever I hear courage mentioned, that picture comes back. It showed a battle scene, a bayonet charge, and in the foreground were two soldiers, bayonets fixed, eyes straight ahead, charging forward side by side. One was a big, stolid, beefy, emotionless fellow. Alongside him was a smaller, nervouslooking man. The big man says to the nervous man: "I believe you're scared.r' The other one said: "Scared? Why' you big bum, if you were half as scared as I am you'd have run half an hour ago!" That's the idea. Where there is no fear, there can be no courage. The fellow who is scared plumb to death and still keeps charging-that's the guy with the courage.

Courage is no easy thing to explain, to define. The world is full of men who have a horror of a personal encounter, such as a fist fight; yet who face death when the time comes, without a quiver. They have that priceless type called "moral" courage. I knew a man who was a veritable hypochondriac, always claiming to be afflicted with some ailment or other, and much given to complaining about his aches and pains. Yet finally when something mortal hit him and he found himSelf looking his God in the face, he forgot all about kicking and complaining, and faced his fate like a genuine hero. It was only the small things that bothered him. The big ones he had no fear of. I recall long ago reading about an early American hero named Israel Putman, who was one of the type of men who never knew fear, so, when someone complimented him on his courage he disclaimed any credit of that sort because he had never been scared, and therefore, as he said, possessed no courage.

When r was " r.ia ,r"ool*;", *n*ter r used to go the rounds of the hospitals at one time. I got acquainted with a little Frenchman who was a patient, whose eternal good humor and fearlessness attracted me. ffe was being slowly eaten alive by a terrible disease. I called on him often. He was always cheerful. One day he said to me: "Well, next week I am going to see my grandfather." I said: "fs that so, where does he live?" The little Frenchman roared with laughter, and then answered: "fle don't live nowhere. He's dead." That's my idea of courage. He went to see his grandfather that next week.
