Struggle For Liberty Ours As In 1775
Tito birthday of the Father of Our Country culls to mind
our struggle for liberty in its constantly renewing aspect. We
gained political liberty, announcing its establishment on -July
4, 1776. That, made such an impress upon us that , as a people,
we speak of it frequently and have always been deep ly con-
scious of it as u fundamental attribute ol' American life , be-
coming positive and vociferous about it when it is threatened.
When we celebrate National Security Week , we refer to
means of security against attack ; in other words, guarding
our liberty.
This spirit of liberty is ingrained in us and crops out in
many ways and on many occasions. When Secretary of State
Marshall was -appealing some time ago before a Congressional
Committee for the admission of a limited number of European
refugees, he spoke of it as a responsibility for his country to-
ward an international problem , and said , when n Congressman
reminded him that the United States had a higher alien popu-
lation than any other country in the world , "That is the sig-
nificance of the Statue of Liberty, "—worn lives taking root in
fresh soil und hopes rekindled .
The president of the Boy Scouts of America in the current
issue of "Scouting" writes on "Strengthen the Arm of Lib-
erty ". He writes, "Most of us realize that the struggle to pre-
serve those ideals is not over. Liberty is not an inheritance , it
is a fresh conquest for each generation. Whether the future is
to be one of freedom or despotism depends chiefl y on how our
young people develop."
And Herbert Hoover, giving a talk ill his native Iowa town
last fall , expressed the true meaning of America in these words,
"America means far more than a continent bounded, by two
oceans. It is more than pride of military power, glory in war ,
or in victory, It means more than the vast expanse of farms,
of great factories or mines, magnificent cities , or millions of
automobiles and radios. It is more even than the traditions of
the great tide westward from Europe which pioneered the con-
quest of a continent. It is more than our literature , our music ,
our poetry. The meaning of our word 'America ' Mows from one
pure spring. The soul of our America is in its freedom of mind
and spirit in man . Here alone are the open windows through
which pours the .sunlight of the human spirit. Here alone is
human dignity not a dream , but an accomplishment."
With all the wealt h of her material resources , America
counts her real wealth in the things of the spirit , knowing full
well that without that spirit of liberty , her material goods
could not have come. "But seek ye first the Kingdom of God ,
and His righteousness ; and all these things shall be added unto
you " is true for the nation as for the individual . It is the spirit-
ual America which appreciates liberty and , because of it , is
strong.
"The mind that was as keenly interested in balloons aB in the
best gage for a Pacific railroad , th at was as alert to the possibilities
ot a breech-loading rifle as to the need i'or Improved agriculture,
that was as sensitive to the feelings of the Negro republic of Haiti
aB to the demands Of the financial magnates for a new hanking sys-
tem, that was as aware of the possibilities in Ericsson's designs for
a naval Ironclad as of Joseph Henry 's dream ot a National Academy
of Sciences—such a mind Is ln very truth superb .
"Surely It Is not too much to say that In active imagination ,
in intellectual vigor, and In moral recognition the Lincoln admlnls- •
trillion left a heritage unsurpassed in our history.
"The Statue ot Freedom surmounting the dome of our Capitol
in Washington was placed there during the Presidency of Abraham
Lincoln. On December 2, 1883, it was erected on what was then
the highest manniade elevation In our Capital City. There It stands
today, symbolic ot tbe spirit ami aspirations of our people. The
Lincoln administration stands equally high In American memories,
its enduring and constructive achievements will always be cherish-
ed as proofs of democracy's vitality when enobled by leadership like
that of Abraham Lincoln."

This is your local slntion 213 Ocean No. K.
Did you ever see such a scramble for the office of Sel
for the Town of Barnstable as we have this year? Often i• """'
two or three candidates , but never before bus such ¦> .t. S*l
array appeared, especially in Hy-
annis. All but one of them starting
out for the first time, I think. I
hope they are not thinking of It
as just a job. It is very important
that we have people in any town
office of great responsibility, who
hold It not light, but as a sacred
trust, to do their level best to serve
the people they represent, rich or
poor. It Is more Important than
ever just now when the whole
world is pulling us apart—calling
on every resource we have for aid
in ull sorts of wuys..
It is a time when we are hound
by one government to go deeper
and deeper into new obligations,
| whether we want to or not, requir-
ing enormous expenditures. We
[ will need to make sacrifices at
|
home; we ought not to branch out
| with unnecessary programs just be-
cause it seems better for us
| We never have had a Boar d of
Selectmen who suited all the people
and we never will , no matter who
Is elected. Whatever is done in one
way hurts someone in some other
situation. Many people have been
disappointed also in the Planning
Hoard. When it was first recom-
mended and formed I though t like
many others that it would be an
excellent way to keep unsightly
spots from appearing In our town,
but If they have tried to do that
they have certainly failed , and in
the minds of many citizens it has
become just a bill of expense.
Our own village is losing so
many of its Cape Cod charms, its
sweet, restful country look and at-
mosphere that it is painful to look '
nt some of the streets, their whole
old-time feeling of quiet and homes
in the countr y has gone. 1 don't
blame residents on some of them
for resenting such monstrosities
as that jail-like building on Pearl
Street. The name Pearl Street no
longer suits it. Jail Lane would be
; better , ir others of that type are
!
allowed there.
We have to go without many
things ourselves if we choose to
carry the old world on our should-
ers. Ae far as it is possible what-
ever we do should be self-support-
ing unless it is absolutely neces-
sary. We ought to fuce this fact
at once and not go blindly on the
easiest way until we have burdens
too heavy to carry.
I wonder, Borne bright, capable
woman has not entered the contest.
What a chance now with so many
untried candldutos. I only know a
few of them to speak to. In a case
like that some might Bay, well, I
don 't know whom to choose. So, a
woman might get some votes. She
won't get it of course, but let the
poor lady have a few votes. That's
how people are sometimes elected
and everyone IB surprised. I am
not saying we want a woman in
this office; 1 am only saying, I won-
der why some woman didn 't think
we did and that she was that
woman. We await the outcome with |
some anxiety UB the management
of our town affects every man,
woman and child, |
People, don 't seem to realize that
whether the Federal Government ,
the Stuto or Individuals back a
project , it all comes out of the
people at last. No matter what it
is—roads, pension s, social security ,
welfare, Government bonds, every-
thing you can think of. Even bonds
have to be paid back by money col-
lected from the people in some way
or other. It is like a Ponzi act, but
we cannot sue ourselves or go to
prison.
If our war debt' was 252 billion
last time it was announced , next
time it will probably be double
that amount. It's the people's debt.
We have to pay out the money
twice if it's ever paid. Uncle Sam
is not the rich old fellow we like
to call him. He wouldn't have a
dollar if it wasn't tor us. Every-
body has to help support him even
if they can hardly support them-
selves, unless they are a part of his
burden. It Is impossible for us to
even imagine the strain that is put i
, on our own economy by the . *
mous sums of money a„(t

people are right just becau*rtev

Communists have taken ovw
countries and changed everything,
but it's no sign they are right
The only curb we had on labor
unions, strikes and picketing was
the Taft-Hartley law. Now the La-
bor Unions and the democrats
want to scrap that and substitute
a weak bill that will have no effect
on some of these crippling strikes
and demands for more and more
wages and privileges.
Mr. Truman seems to cater to
the Unions more and more. They
were the great factor in his elec-
tion. It lookB as if he would be
the most expensive President we
ever had. With his big salary and
expense account , his advocate
higher salaries all around , \m
ing a balcony and then mora
out of the White House and lilt-
ing it all made over, costing mil-
lions. I have no doubt it needs
some money laid out on It with fit
thousands of feet going in and out
of it year in and year out , but wltl
a vast housing project anil coi-
struction at the very peak in all
time history, he couldn't have
chosen a more expensive time to
do this work.
Spending billions on a gamble In
many other countries where money
alone has seemed to help the
enemy, until we are all tangled
up in a maze of theories and situa-
tions, we can neither handle not
get out of. In the meantime if some
of us have a leaky roof or W6 need
repairs and more comfortable par
ters why we can still go on need-
ing them.
You can say, like tbe Arkansas
traveler, "When it rains you can't
do if, when It don't rain, it don't
need it."—-Cheerio. This may not
sound too good, but it's all true.

Dear Tlieodosia:
Advertising can be very interest-
ing reading, 1 llnd. The other day
I was reading about gloves. The
company owner was saying that
gloves make good valentines , call-
ing them "gloves for love," a tradi-
j tlonal gift. This dates back, so they
I say, to the time when knighthood
was in flower and the soldier wore
his lady 's glove on his helmet In
|battle as a sign of his devotion ;
, and since then, a gift of gloves has
become a symbol of loyalty and af-
fection.
The advertisement goes on to
come in a variety of colors and
styles this spring. Lush glove col-
ors include cherry pink, sun bronze,
read. "Valentine gloves for women
carib green, and exotic lemon.
These colors provide dramatic ac-
cents for dark costumes, so tue
buyer of gift gloves for his lady
need not worry about 'matching'
her outfits."
This kind of talk is all for the
purpose of selling gloves, but it
does give us some idea of the
spring styles that will be in vogue.
You may ftnd such information
more useful than I shall , although ,
you certainly must never get the
idea that 1 am at all behind the
times or have no Interest in style ,
even at my advanced age.
The pictures In the advertise-
ment showed men's gloves, too,
designating them for the King of
Hearts as the women 's are for the
Qfleen of Hearts.
Last Monday, was the 14th , Val-
¦entlne's Day, anil so this particular
advertisement struck a responsive
! chord in me. It's Valentine season.

Activities
(Continued from last week)
Pres. Lincoln approved the first draft law in bur history .
Tho first experiments in absentee Voting were carried out
. in 1864.
The original issue of Federal paper currency was authorized
in ISfil , consisting of non-interest-bearing treasury notes, sup-
plemented in 1862 by United States notes, known as green-
backs, authorized in 1862. Since these issues, the Government
lias kept paper currency in circulation.
"In God We Trust " was first, placed on certain coins in
the Lincoln administration. The income tax was first nationally
applied in 1862. In the 1890's 'it was declared invalid by
.Supreme Court decisions, but was revived after the passage of
the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
The United States Secret Service was formed during Lin-
coln 's term to protect the Nation 's money against counterfeiters.
In the post-office department , urban free delivery by mail
currier in the 49 princi pal cities of the North was inaugurated
in 18615 ; u uniform rate of letter postage was for the first time
established throughout the nation in 1863 ; and in 1864, the
domestic money-order system came into being.
The Homestead Act was approved in 1862, by which the
western pioneer movement was promoted and which laid the
cornerstone for the agricultural development of the trans-
Mississippi West. The Morrill Agricultural College Land Grant
Act became law in 1862.
Two Pacific Railroads were chartered ; the Union Pacific
in 1862, the Northern Pacific in 1864. Both roads were built
with tile aid of Federal land grants ; and , connected with these
land grunts of the Civil War period, were certain railroad
rate problems which persisted until final settlement by the 80th
Congress in 1947. In the chartering of these railroads , Pres.
Lincoln linil the responsibili ty of locating the shirting point of
the Union Pacific line in Nebraska . He selected Omaha, which
is si ill the operating headquarters of the Union Pacific, Jle also
fixed the gage. Up to 1861, America n railroads bad used 23 dif-
ferent track gages, Pres, Lincoln , with the advice of Congress
specified the 4-foot S'/o-inch gage. This became the standard
gage for nil the railroads.
Coupled to Lincoln 's funeral train in 1865 was the original
Pullman sleeping car und the first Presidentia l private oar ever
built for an American Chief Kxeouiive.
The National Academy of Sciences was founded in 1863.
It has always been quasi-governmenta! in nature ; und in 1916
when it offered its services io President Wilson, it was the
basis from which came tho National Research Council of the
firs! World War. In 19-10 it was likewise the basis of the De-
tense Research Committee, which in 1941 was re-named the
office of Scientific Research and Development.
It wus Pres. Lincoln 's invitation to all tbe governors ol
the North Io meet with him i„ J862 from which the modern
annual governors ' conferences lmve evolved.
"A Heritage Unsurpassed In Our History"
Captain Beshe F. Holmes, Group
Operations Officer of the SSvd
Fighter Wing at Otis Field , was the
Kiwanis speaker last night. He was
introduced by Dr. C. F. Pooler,
chairman of the It.O.A. committee
for National Security Week. Capt.
Holmes told of many interesting
experiences as a pilot in the last
war. The story of his flight while
on Guadalcanal was most interest-
ing. "This country is the richest
place for any aggressor to attempt
to conquer ", said Capt. Holmes. In
the two world wars, the aggressors
had victory almoBt within their
grasp. The U .S. forged into both
these wars late in the conflict and
unprepared.
Capt. Holmes was stationed at
Hawaii at the time of the Pearl
I Harbor attack and had to enter the
I fray with only four hours of solo.
The jet planes we see flying around
her e every day travel around 200
miles per hour. Many Interesting
and humorous questions were
asked him during the evening.
Quests were Ted Weinz , Cecil
Clark and Frank FOBS.
