The Mechanical Man.
1 Scientists are always trying to find out the unknown tilings
, of life—why are we born, why do we live, why do we die
what makes everything tick—but they never will for as the
i Bible says, "No man by searching can find out God", who is
the source of all life. They, however, keep on trying and are
i doing wonderful work.
The atom, BO small you would
: hardly believe it could be divided
into fragments, has been smashed
1 and still has as much power and
life as before.
A mechanical man is one of their
' objectives. No doubt he could be
put together like the bones of
skeletons can be assembled to
show the forms of life they repre-
sented, however, they could never
put a soul into them for "only God
t can make a tree" or a living soul.
Mechanical men, however, could be
very useful. They could have a mo-
tor for a heart and think what
[ they might do as warriors. Whole
I regiments of mechanical mep could
go to battle* run by a few real
f men in control , sort of a Kremlin
, organization , who could manipulate
j them by some power that the scien-
j tists could discover.
t If we muBt have wars, why let
• these mechanical men do the fight-
I Ing for the world, and save human
• beings and stop blood shed. Think
i what that would mean. The men
could be made of braes, copper,
i iron or anything enduring; no uni-
¦ forms would have to be bought.
just paint a uniform on the body.
i Save on laundry. Put on a hose
I and wash a whole regiment at a
time and leave them out in the
, sun to dry. They could be made to
• handle machine guns, have tiny
atom bombs ready to release at a
i given signal from the men behind
them in command.
No concentration camps would
be needed , just take the ' motors out
1 of captives and park them any-
1 where —a bloodlebs war. Peopl e
back home could carry on IIB usual
¦ and people who are eager for a
' scrap could get satisfaction the
same as if they were playing a
game—whichever side might win ,
might take over some part of the
earth., but think what a cheap war
it could he. Another thing, no
armies to feed , no one starving, all
the doctors, dentists, nurses. Red
CrosB workers and ministers could
stay in their own countries and
soon the earth would be peaceful
far away from the "tin pan alley"
of war.
If planes can be run without
pilots it is no, more incredltable
to believe some sort of plan could
be worked out to have more but-
ter and less gun powder and bul-
lets, killing our young men and
women who have a right to live
their lives on earth, who also have
a right to life, liberty and the pur-
suit to happiness instead of being
forced to lose everything because
of the greedy ambition and love of
power that pu>ple who have gained
control of a country mean to exert
over it even to the point of en-
slaving the inuabitants. One world
that they can dominate and control.
The regiments could be trans-
ported anywhere they were need-
ed, like tin pitchers. Why not? If.
Russia and the other nations would
only agree to fight it out on these
lines how wonderful it would be.
Of course the real men behind the
armies would be in more danger
than at neadquarters, but even at
that think of the millions of lives
they would have. Think of the pen-
sions hospital bills and suffering
that our people have endured from
these awful wars. The high cost ot
living would go down. There would
be no excuse for deficits in all de-
partments of government. It could
be a land of peace and plenty. Why
doesn't somebody fllllbuster around
on this idea for a while. ,
When we remember the millions
of white crosses scattered all over
the world and think of the homes
that have been broken up and de-
vastated, find some other way to
work toward life instead of death.
This sounds like a silly idea—an
Alice in Wonderland dream. But all
new Ideas are usually called im-
practical and just a pipe dreani
at first. Let's not bother just now
about people on other planets. We
were put here on the earth to work
out our own salvation, not to kill
one another.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Town of Barnstable
Cape Cod
May 12, 1349
Dear theodosia:
Last week I had a new experi-
ence. I had my first airplane flight.
Not having been to the Islands for
some time I deckled to go over
and visit some at my old cronies
and cousins, Jerushlu and Archie
and several others. For some time
I've been working myself up to a
flight, and this time 1 did it.
First 1 went to Hyannis Airport,
arriving there before 7 o'clock in
the morning, when the plane didn 't
leave until after 7:30. Inside I felt
real flattery, but I boarded the
plane when it came in and off we
went.
Quite a ceremony to start with ,
—the door is closed after the pas-
sengers file up the portable steps
and into the plane and take their
seats. We fasten our belts to hold
us In our seats. Chiclets are passed
around by the stewardess. The en-
gine whirs, the plane rolls along
on its tiny rubber-tired wheels,
faster and faster we go, we're off
the ground , rising higher and high-
er. We're off.
Soaring like a bird over the sea,
we seemed poised motionless in
the air, but I expect we were mov-
ing pretty fast , for, hardly was I
settled down to enjoy the feeling
of release and freedom in floating
mid-air above the world , when the
stewardess announced that we
were "coming into Nantucket." A
short trip, certainly. So speed was
slackened and the plane dropped
lower, step by step, I felt a motion
like coming down in an elevator.
Then we were pleasantly and
almost imperceptibly jounced, as
the wheels touched earth, and we
drove along on land to the airport
office , where we alighted by the
reverse process.
After my visit there, 1 proceed-
ed to the Vineyard and renewed
more acquaintance on that island.
The return trip was a pleasing
repetition. In looking down on land
and sea, all I could think of was
all the maps I've looked at in my
life. There was a real one spread
out before my eyes. The land was
sliced up by streams and roads,
which resembled pencil linos on a
chart , so narrow they looked. And
the houses,—one would expect one
might reach down and pick one up
by the root with one hand , so tiny
and inconsequential they appeared.
Returning from Nantucket to
Hyannis, I watched out of sight
what I thought was the last point
of land on the Island. Looking
ahead I was surprised to see more
land across what appeared to be a
channel a few yards in width.
Thinking it must he an extension
of Nantucket's outlying land's end,
I was amazed to hear the steward-
ess say that we were "coming into
Hyannis". In answer to my query
as to the identity of that land , she
said , "No, that's not Nantucket,
that's Cape Cod." Distances do
shorten when viewed from a
height.
You may draw the conclusion, if
you like, that I thoroughly enjoyed
that air voyage.
Your loving
Aunt Jane

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS
A Letter From Aunt Jane
To Her City Relations
Great Day* Of The Past
A few weeks ago we had a discussion on holidays, with
reference to certain proposed state legislation for increasing
their number and , barring a few exceptions, having them all fall
on Mondays. We maintained that a variety was better.
Another phase of the same subject relates to the historic
significance of holidays. The 19th of April , for example, com-
memorates the Battle of Concord and Lexington and the "Mid-
night Ride of Paul Revere", which events ushered in our Revolu-
tion. Would it not be setting things a bit askew to move this
holiday to the nearer weekend? The same comment might be
made about October 12 , November 11, and February 22.
To say that it doesn 't matter about the date is to distort
the imagf of our history, to make its events of small import,
and to jolt our sense of the fitting. To say "February 22nd" is
to think "George Washington ". The mention of "the 22nd"
and "Washington 's Birthday " is synonymous in terms.
As we approach "I Am An American " Day, it is well that
we evaluate the meaning of being an American. We are proud
of our country , or we should be. though we see her faults. We
must never lose sight of the American Principle, the princi ple
of freedom upon which our republic was founded. Each genera-
tion must instill it in the minds and hearts of the succeeding
generation. The spark of true Americanism must be kept alive.
It will be a light before us, as our daily routines keep us im-
mersed and enmeshed in material details.
An effective means of keeping alive in our breasts and clear
in our minds the standards of Americanism , so that each genera-
tion may be a strong standard-bearer of this princi ple of free-
dom , is the appropriate observance of our holidays. Change
one letter in the word and they are holy days. Yes, they are
holy days,—holy in tradition and solemnity, as America passes
along the way of her destiny toward her goal of that greatness
for which she. through her loyal citizens, should be constantl y
striving.
A study of our history, nationally or of our state or just
in the small community which we claim as home, teaches us
our background and , if it be a noble one, ennobles us, con-
trives our standard, gives us an ideal.
When we stand in one of the towns north of Boston on
the 19th of April in any year and watch Paul Revere on his
horse ride by and, let the past parade through our mental vision ,
what American does not thrill to his country 's deeds of courage
and high dream and walk away the better man for this fleeting
but understanding glimpse into the past, aware of the knowledge
that it is his own?
We oft decry the pomp and ceremony, the noise and the
abandon of a patriotic celebration, But let us not do this. They
are but the outflow of a nation's youthful and exuberant spirit ,
a nation whose heart beats steady and whose remembrance is
of an occasion steeped in dignity.
It is not just for the new citizens that the day we reserve
for saying. "I Am An American" is significant. It is for all of
us not to take our privileges too much for granted, though we've
had them from birth. Consciousness of our American heritage
is with us passively every day, but it is best brought out and
activated now and then.
On Sunday, May IS , which is "I Am An American" Day,
and on each anniversary of a patriotic event in our history,
don't think of it as a day off merely, but let the tide of feeling
seep through you as you re-live in memory some great day of
an honorable past.
E D I T O R I A L S —
Thirty-one accredited Negro colleges and universities have
joined forces in a drive for finds for their current operating ex-
penses. These institutions are not endowed to any great extent
and haven 't wealthy alumni; and they turn , perforce, to the
public for help. The goal is $1,400,000 in a nation-wide appeal .
Chairman of the New England part of the campaign is Michael
T. Kelleher , past president of the Boston Chamber of Com-
merce. Contributions may be sent to the treasurer , Allan Forbes,
State Street Trust Company, Boston .
There is but one Negro doctor for every 4000 Negroes;
one Negro teacher for 201 pupils; and only 1400 Negro dentists,
8000 Negro nurses and 1000 Negro lawyers in the entire coun-
try. The National population numbers 14,000,000 Negroes. A
contribution from you will push forward their advancement in
health , education , and living standards.
May IS to 21 is to be known as "White Cane" Week , whose
purpose is to inform and educate the public on the problems
and needs of the blind. Stamps and buttons are to be sold to
aid the campaign toward helping the blind to help themselves.
Your money will help to secure needed and adequate legislation,
rehabilitation , vocational training, employment, loans for their
own business , books , information , and many other benefits for
the blind. It will aid in establishing better sight conservation and
in preventive measures for the sighted.
The National Federation of the Blind is the only nation-
wide organization composed of the blind themselves. State
associations are members of it as well as individuals in any state.
Its aim is to promote the social , economic, and physical welfare
of the blind through self-help; to enable them to live as nearly
normal lives as possible.
Contributions may be sent to the National Federation of
the Blind, Box 691, Madison 1, Wisconsin. Free literature may
be obtained by writing to the same address.

Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty
has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is
a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of lim-

County Commissioners:
Barnstable, Mass.
Gentl emen:
A brief statistical summary o
the activities of this Departmen
is submitted herewith.
A survey of the distribution o
fluid whole milk in the county ha:
been completed by Mr. Georgi
Crocker, Sanitary Inspector. Thii
survey is made at a time when i
can be considered that largely onlj
normal dally sales to year rounc
residents is considered and follow
a similar survey made in Marcl
1947.
Information obtained from these
surveys is summarized in the fol
lowing tabulation of daily sales:
Total Sales of Fluid Milk Marcl
1917, 17059 qts.; March 1948 , 1777(
quarts.
Pasteurized milk sold: March
1947, 1(1,174 quarts; Mar. 1948 , 16,
2S2 quarts.
Raw milk sold : March 1948 , 88E
quarts; March 1948 , 48S quarts.
Percentage of supply past.: Mar
1947, 94.8%; March 1948 , 96.7%.
Milk produced in County: Marcl
1947, 4413 quarts; March 1948 , 362C
quarts.
It may be noted that there is s
slight reduction in total sales ol
milk during the two-year period.
While birth rates would indicate
an increase in the child popula-
tion o£ the county, the consump-
tion amounts to slightly less than
one pint per capita dally. There is
also noted a distinct reduction in
the amount of raw milk sold.
A second series of classes of in-
struction in the testing of school
children for defective vision and
hearing were held on April 18, 21,
22 at Provlncetown. These classes
were attended by nurses and teach-
ers from Provlncetown , Truro and
Wellneet.
DOGS WATCH CALORIES
If Rover is waddling around from
overweight , of slinking with his
ribs in bold relief , It may be time
to Investigate his calorie Intake,
advises Dr. M. L. Morris in the
Journal of the American Veterin-
ary Medical Association.
To fill their energy requirements,
dogs need an average daily Intake
of between HO and 60 calories for
each pound of body weight. The
j exact requirement depends upon
I the composition and quality of the
ration and upon the breed of the
j dog, according to Dr. Morris , a
New Jersey veterinarian who con-
ducts research on canine nutrition.
A dog weighing 10 lbs. should ,
therefore , receive between 300 and
000 calories a day. If it is growing
and of the active , nervous type , it
probably will require close to the
maximum of 600 calories.
To figure the requirement on the
haslB of foods commonly fed to
dogs, owners should bear in mind
that the average dry dog food sole
on the market contains about 1101
calories per pound, while ont
pound of canned dog food usuallj
furnishes slightly less than 501
calories, A pound of lean meat lur
nisheB approximately 1000 calories
