The Small Boy's Complaint on a Noisy Budge
A child narrates a night with a crying dog named Budge and a mother who keeps the feet clean. The speaker recalls a strict father who defends his wife, notes harsh discipline toward a brother, and envisions growing up to marry someone like his neat mother while planning a future with Budge and a changeless home. The poem ends with a humorous vow to remain bold and dirt tolerant.

Forests Must Be Kept From Internal Conflicts, Says Shurtleff
Arthur A. Shurtleff told the Boston Scientific Society that cutting trees invites war among trees in the Metropolitan Park System. He argued foresters must stop fights between ephemeral and permanent trees and protect long lived oaks and maples. He noted pines and hemlocks resprout poorly after damage, while birch harms oaks in their 15 year life, and urged removal of destructive birches and pests to save future woodlands.
