FOR A BETTER WORLD
Freedom cannot be bestowed—
It must be achieved. To get free-
dom one must shoulder respon-
slblty.
,|r '
in the world of employment,
man's chief endeavors .these..days
seem to be. bent toward. ¦emancipa-
tion from work. Man is looking for
leisure and security; . he Is union-
ized in his aspirations and' collec-
tively bargaining for something^
for himself.
Thus a new religiain, or belief ,
has been born as a part of the six-
ties — the new bonanza ready for
popular vote is guaranteed income
and political freedom from want
and any responsibility.
Many mortals have set as their
goal the "rainbow " of idleness, as
a cure-all for all the attendant ills
of the cosmos. Such desire is
doomed to failure because above
everything else, it is born of self.
Until a man is freed of selfish dc-
sire, each part of personal free-
dom he wishes to achieve becomes
only another form of slavery.
The crying need in the world
today is for workers, - desirous of
contributing to, rather than tak-
ing away, . from the world. The
more a man accepts selfishly for
hiself , the poorer . a family and
community he builds about him.
To progress is to broaden one-
self In an outward mien — a bet-
ter world is seldom achieved in
any other way.

THE HANDYMAN . . . .» •: ¦
-*©v
Remember Mr. Fixlt, the pro-
fessional handyman, Jack of all
trades, who ' used ' to 'be happily
rife in the land? His virtual dis-
appearance is more than nostalgic
to contemplate; It Is a cosWy
costly casualty, part of the in-
herent waste Jin an affluent society.
Even if the typical homeowner
today had the know-how to fix his
own defective 'plumbing or broken
switches or"'"leaking gutters or
other balky mechanisms, he would
have to equip'1' himself at retail
with all the 'proper tools and
materials. It ' doesn't pay most
licensed plumbers and electricians
and other tradesmen to take trivial
fixit jobs anymore, and when they
do it may cost the householder $7
or $8 just to see them walk In the
door. j
in this parlous state of affairs ,
what would you say to the revival
of the handyman profession? A
uiversified service company based
in Atlanta pjftns. to try to set the
example. They wou}d employ re-
tired maintenance people to per-
form from a single local source
almost any kind of household
tinkering. They promise not so
much cheapness as dependably
getting the job done when needed.
More power to them.

A disgracefully small turnout of residents provided a
discouraging start for activities planned by the newl y formed
Charter Commission in the Town of Barnstable. In a munici-
pality boasting over 10,000 registered voters, the pttblic meet-
ing of the , commission Monday night drew exactly 15 persons.

3-8, rolled eggs or hunted for 7,000

The Easter egg roll and jelly
bean hunt was sponsored by
Downtown Hyannis Association
and was supervised by members
of Hyannis Junior Women's Club,
with Mrs. Stuart Myers as chair-
man.
Originally scheduled , fojw Satur-
day, the roll and hunt hacf to be
postponed until Monday because of
heavy rain.
Members of the club had hidden
jelly beans in various parts of the
campus, and children 3-5 went
hunting for them. In a half hour
they had found and helped devour
much of the 40 pounds hidden.
Then came the eggroll, first with
the nose, and then with spoon, and
finally the egg carry in a spoon.

ceived small chocolate bunnies,
and the four top finishers"'' in the

Hyannis Receives
National Mention
In Travel Guide
I thought your editorial No Place
To Go was just great.
Maybe what they need more
than anything is to go to work and
earn some of the money for all
these leisure-time activities' them-
selves.
The auto is really the clinker
Every 16-year-old thinks he ha?
to have a car, preferably his own
And with mobility comes dissatis-
faction with local leisure-time
activities. They want to roam as
far as the gas tank permits.
Every community has the same
problem, and ft becomes worse
when it is a college town. When
the Community College moves to
Its new campus, you may find a
change in attitude, as least . dur-
ing the winter. The' summer with
the deluge of hippies and beat^
poses another question. jfe
Ithaca is now pflwihing a nteet-
ing sponsored by the chamber of
commerce, Youth Bureau, Down-
town Business Women and other
women's groups on. the teenage
employment question Leaders of
business and industry, the schools.
4H, state . employment office and
labor leaders are being asked to
the rneeting to survey the tyien-
age emplqyment problem here and
And out 'how mamjr jobs will be
available, the kinds of Jobs,
qualifications and labor restric-
tions.
We hope every teenager that
wants works will be able to get
a Job this summer or weekends
during the school year.
When kids are.' working;' they
don't have much5
;time to f gripe
about the lack '
of leisure-tlme..!ac-
tlvitles.

(Hits verse was written for The
Patriot in 1954 by Albert Epstein
of Maywood, N.J. to commemor-
ate the bicentennial of Columbia
University, an institution that al-
ways was close to the late Presi-
dent Eisenhower, who graciously
acknowledged the verse. It Is here-
with published again, dedicated to
David Dwight Eisenhower.)
In 1754 a Star was born,
Beacon of faith and hope;
Her loins have given us noble
sons,
Their vision encompassed the
globe.
The World, bewildered, came to
her.
Revealed his desperation;
Her arms reached out—beseeching
God,
God heard her prayers;
Her loins brought forth her noblest
son,
"Man's Right to Knowledge and
The Free Use Thereof,"
Beacon of faith and hope.
To those—and many there will be
who think these thoughts fan-
tastic—
To those you laugh and scoff and
say,
'These are delusions of a mind
that dreams,"
There is only one reply: 12$ '
"Man forges the tools
And casts the weapons of '
des-
tructioni
God wills the Brotherhood of Man,
Beacon of faith and hope."

Our Founding Fathers sleep; "
M ':
And yet they live
Their spirits restless;
The ominous clouds distrub them.
For they have seen, and, seeing,
Know all things are to see and
know.
They fly to us on wings of Faith,
Enfold us in their , arms;
"Evil cannot emerge triumph-
ant,"
Their love and wisdom tell us;
'Have faith in God,
Have faith in man,"
They plead : * ¦

"The Brotherhood of Man will
light your way."
A National Institute of Mental
study indicates that an estimated
two percent of the nation's school
children need some sort of psy-
chiatric help and that, at least two
thirds of those under 18 needing
such care art- not , getting it.
