every day. You listen to Ihe Town Meeting of the Air or il?
People 's l'ali'orin or other discussion they have over the bad
but w'hat kind of an opinion can you form?
(10
'
They never come to any con-
clusion about what Is best to be
done so no one's opinion Is
changed if they had given any
thought to the subject before
hand. The chief Idea is to get all
I hey can out of the government for
the special things they are discuss-
ing unless its a book written away
ing unless it's a book written away
back in the socalled "dark ages."
.Mostly the money, more wages,
higher salaries. After they get
some jobs they can raise their own
salurles, they don't have to strike-
how clever, a man was holding
forth a short time ago.
You would think people In Wash-
ington were working for nothing,
according to his talk. All the sena-
tors and other men who have been
going to Washington year after
year holding good jobs that they
like and would fight like anything
if they thought they might lose
them , all these men to hear him
sputter, ought to have their salaries
raised to about twenty or twenty-
live thousand more or less. They
could get so much more in private
enterprise. Well , let them go It
they want to, there will never be
a lack of candidates to fill their
pluces. If they are good men they
will give faithful service; If enor-
mous salaries are given them so
they can entertain and sport
around more, because that is
what some of it is wanted for, why
instead of getting better men you
will find a lot of smart, unscrup-
ulous polticians will get some of
those jobs by fair means or foul
and that's all the people will get
for their money.
No matter about the people.
They only pay the bills and the
taxes. Many people who never saw
the Inside of the White House and
never will , have to contribute to
salaries for those men and all
government expenses. So if they
don't like their job and the pay,
let them quit. They will probably
find there is not such a demand
tor their services outside as they
try to make you believe. It's not
the salary, it's the wasteful ex-
pensive way governments are run
and what they have done to our
dollars, making it just a copy out-
wardly of what it used to be, de-
preciating year after year, and
don't think everyone Is fooled.
Faith and hope put into the U.N.,
faith and hope put into the Atlan-
tic Charter, faith and hope stretch-
ed to the limit, while instead of a
brave new world we have been
giving the lives of our young people
and all our substance to win, we
find dozens of little worlds all
fighting each other and contusion
all over the globe, while no one,
not even the heads of nations has
the slightest idea where we are
leading.
America has held to the Idea, of
the Open Door. We surely have had
It open for so many years that it
has fallen from its hinges and no
one knows what has become of it.
If we ever wanted* to shut it—no
door. Everybody has come in—
aome good people who expected to
II nd in America , a land of promise.
In their case it has proved to be
i land of promise. They are grate-
ful and have become real Ameri-
cans , but we have also allowed all
sorts of undesirable people to slip
In through that door who will nev-
3i- become good Americans or good
citizens of any country.
We have taken them Into our
lives, they have shared all the priv-
ileges of a free country and now
many ot them even admit they
would go againBt America if we
had another war, which Heaven
forbid. Enough people have given
their lives who can have no share
In peace—if it ever comes.
AII tne» new people coming i
now—there are thousands „t (
"
own people out ot jobs, but still
we are told jobs will alwaya it
medately open up for these net
men, women and children, it ,hi
is so, something must he wro
'
somewhere. The children look w,i
fed , clothed and healthy. There J
thousands of children in Amerls!
In public Institutions, and in lm
happy condition elsewhere. wi.
might be adopted , but if children
come from some other lands, (jIe .
are Immediately looked out tor h
people eager to adopt them nl
matter what ther unknown back,
ground may be. I wonder why?
A great many people come to
America just for an adventure
They care nothing for our land or
way of life. A large number of the
holdups and murders that arc |
le.
coming so frequent these times are
committed by men and woniea
with foreign names we ranil0,
pronounce.
There might be two ways to look
at this. Whether you are on tile
outside looking In or on the inside
looking out, "A man is known by
the company he keeps", hut the
Buzzards Bay Gas Company savs
"A company is known by the men
it keeps." That must be true for it
works both ways. Wise men avoid
bad company and if they are head-
Ing in the wrong direction on i8Bd
or sea change their course before
it is too ate. No earthly ffiMte
can be followed blindly. Keep s.
lookout yourself . "Freedom Is
everybody's job."

U. S. Army - Part of the Team - for Security
It is true that we look to our tri partite forces for much of
our security, to the Army, the Navy, the Air Force. And the
Army adopted as its theme for Army Day. April 6. the modest
and co-operative slogan— "The U. S. Army—Part of the Team—
for Security." Each contingent has its own responsibility to
shoulder , the civilians as well, as its share of the national
defense, for , as Col. William M. Tow, commander of Camp Ed-
wards, aptly said, "The first duty of every American is to defend
his country."
Col. Tow said also, "This is one of the most critical periods
in American history."
Well does every citizen know that , or should know it.
In connection with the army and our national security, we
usually think of military might and power , of arms and ammuni-
tion , of generals and captains and men. Necessary as these are,
there is behind them another security, without which the great-
est military equipment and force on earth would be powerless,
a security which we as a Christian nation realize but to which we
give too little heed , yet a security which we must seek and find ,
before our nation and the world can emerge from the troublous
times and conditions amidst which we live.
That the Army recognizes such need is manifest in the
prayer offered for Army Day by Chaplain Miller:
tar from being a vehicle by means of which man asks God
for something, prayer is the means by which man endeavors to
be in tune with God , with His will , His plans, by which he puts
himself and his life into God's hands unreservedly and asks to
be shown God's wish concerning his life and all its functions.
There is a right order in prayer. The suppliant, so the Bible
tells us, should first give homage, then pay his vows, then ask.
The psalmist says, "Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy
vows unto the most High: and call upon Me in the day of trou-
ble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorif y Me."
To pay our vows, as individuals or as a nation , is to obey
God's laws laid down for our guidance. This nation is not obey-
ing God's economic or political laws—to name two branches of
our life 's activity—and , until we do, we cannot expect deliver-
ance from our troubles.
It is not amiss to quote here another beautiful prayer , that
of George Washington , the Father of Our Country :
Almighty God , Who hast given us this good land for our heritage ,
we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people
mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will . Bless our land with honor-
able industry , sound learning, und pure manners. Save us from violence ,
discord , and confusion ; from pride and arrogance and from every evil
way. Defend our liberties and fashion Into one united people the multi-
tudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Imbue with the
spirit of wisdom those to whom In Thy name we entrust the authority of
Government, that there may be peace and justice at home; und that
through obedience to Thy law we may show forth Thy praise among the
nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity nil our hearts with thank.
fulness and in the day ot trouble suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all
of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen,
At this time of danger to ourselves and to our land , it is well
that we ponder these high words and thoughts. They are not far-
fetched , but a practical and present means of correcting the evils
we face.
It is God's pleasure to do good things for us, all He asks is
that we learn His will for us and do it.

April 7, 1949
Dear Theodosia:
April and Spring have come.
March brings in the Spring, but ,
even so, I think we connect Spring
more with April , especially with
the beautiful weather we've been
having some of these lovel y April
days. The first day of the month
was April Fool's Day again, and f
never was fooled once, nor did I
fool anyone all day long. I guess
I forgot about it, so busy was I
right through the day.
I read so much in the papers
about the Paul Revere Liberty
Bowl that, when 'it' was put on ex-
hibit at the Art Museum In Boston
I determined to go up to see It, so
your Great Aunt Susanna and 1
journeyed up to have a look at it.
This was some time ago, but I
guess I forgot to write you about it.
You probably know the story.
Paul Revere, who was a silver-
smith, fashioned this bowl In 1768,
before the Revolution, by order ol
15 members of a secret organization
of patriots, the Sons of Liberty, as
a tribute to the 92 members of the
Massachusetts Bay House of Rep-
resentatives who had defied an or-
der of the .King. The King had or-
dered them to rescind a circular
letter which they had issued calling
on the colonies to unite against tax-
ation without representation. These
men, in standing by their principle,
had acted courageously.
The Bowl had belonged to de-
scendants of the Revere Family,
who refused a large sum of money
for its purchase by a private party ,
in order to offer it at a much smaller
sum to the people of Massachusetts.
Many contributed , including school
children , and now it Is forever en-
shrined as the people's proud pos-
session.
The Art Museum is open to all
and, as one goes up the broad stair-
case just Inside the front entrance,
there is the bowl In a tall , white
case placed at eye level in a glass
compartment at the top. The case
stands alone, so that one has space
to walk all around it and view the
Bowl on all sides. It is in a dark
velvet setting, which emphasizes
the bright, silver lustre of the
: Bowl. The Bowl bears an inscrlp-
' tion , commemorating the dated
events of its origin; and, in hand-
some lettering on the white stand ,
Is also an appropriate , Inscribed de-
cription of this masterpiece of his-
1
toric , colonial America.
On the two sides ot the stand
are, tall and erect, staffs bearing,
the one the United States Flag, the
other the Massachusetts State
Flag.
When we went there, Jt was just
after the ceremonies which had
had been held at the State House
of formally accepting and dedi-
cating the newly-acquired Bowl. 1
should like to have been present
at that ceremony. I heard it was
very Impressive. Following this, a
military escort delivered the Bowl
to the Art Museum from the State
House. There it is now,—ours to
cherish, as the nation 's third most
Important historical relic. Only the
Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution come before It.

"Nleman Reports", published by
the Society of Nleman Fellows at
Hai vnrd College, prints In its cur-
rent April issue a letter from the
editor of the BariiBtable Patriot.
The Item follows:
Editorial Capacity
As a new subscriber to Nioinan
Reports , I have recently read the
July 1948 issue. One of your arti-
cles caught my attention— "Editor-
ial Writing Made Easy."
Until I became an editor myself ,
I had been admiring the editorials
In a certain newspaper published
in Boston. With the material con-
stantly coming to my desk here, I
soon recognized the source of the
editorials 1 had been innocentl y ad-
miring.
My own belief is that an editor
incapable Of writing editorials or
of having Ideas about which to
write editorials Is incapable of be-
ing an editor.
There is one idea, however ,
which I should like to offer as an
addition to your comments as set
forth In the article. I alwuys look
over the sheets that come in from
E. Holer and Son and from similar
sources. While I recognize the in-
terests back of these ideas that are
being deliberately put forth , some
of the expressions of ideas are good
and worth using. In a few cases I
have used them, but /I always In-
dicate the source and use it as a
quotation. When an editor does this,
I figure he Is merely putting the
stamp of his approval upon the
idea expressed, at the same time
showing where the writing came
from.
You didn't mention this as a
proper way of handling such ma-
terial on occasion and 1 thought
I would add the thought to your
very good article.

Patriot Editor's Letter
By Hattle Blossom Frltze
In the garden the season Is open-
ing with a bang!
Vegetation cannot long resist
those Btrong bright sun-rays that
probe with warm lingers about the
crowns of eager perennials .
The swamp-maple by the road-
side has busting red buds. Looking
up through their delicate tracery
to the thin, clear blue of an early
April sky makes for one of the
finer bits of springtime rapture.
All nature seems teetering on the
border-line, in that state of expect-
ancy and eagerness, as yet un-
leashed, but just "raring to go,"
which is another reason for the
ecstasy of spring which Influences
all nature—even we hardened hu-
mans catch the contagion and work,
often with aching muscles and blis-
tered hands, just to help to make
things grow!
Forsythla hushes In sheltered
corners are shaking out their dainty
bells above opulent golden daffo-
dils. It one has had the foresight to
front this display with ceruleon
scllla spikes, the result Is, Indeed,
breath-taking,
I am reminded of a day when I
turned a corner of a small building
and came upon unexpected lovell- .
ness. A low picket fence enclosed
a tiny garden, bisected by neat ,
brick walks , which were edged and
planted with blue scillu and white
grape hyaclnthe. The effect , against
the old toolhouse , was enchanting.
Garden work 1B pressed hard for
time. If you have not already done
so, be sure to collect at once, and
burn, all dead leaves from the Iris
beds. They are easily seen at this
time and must not be used on the
compost pile as they harbor disease
germs. Burning Is a must, with
them.
This is the last call lo divide and
reset your big clumps of hemervo-
cnlis which should , rightly, be
moved between October and April,
Note that this Is In reverse to usual
procedure in the garden.
I use a spade to cut the clumps
into sections. This seems drastic
but they thrive on this treatment,
I do hope you ure all hemeroceliB
fans . Much has been done for this
family In recent years until it Is
now one of the leaders In the per-
ennlul group. AU manner of shades
ranging from the familiar yellow of
the lemon Illy (H. Flora) to a fine
clear red have been produced and
now one hears rumors of a pink
one soon to be released. Oddly
enough no double has as yet been
achieved except the quite old
Kwonso which has as a parent the
old towny escape of our readsldes,
H, Fulva.
