NATIONAL MARITIME DAY 1949 For Children's Contests
In November of 1!)46 n whale was stranded on Uic shores
of Provincetown. That IH not a very Unusual Occurrence for u
Cape Cod beach) hut this particular stranded whale has
assumed quite a bit of importanc e.
It seems that some of the chil-
dren of Provincetown , thou ghtless
ly, no doubt, used tho whale for a
target by shooting al it with pop
guns. Whether these hard-hitting
little pellets hurt the whale or not ,
we are not. prepared to Hay ; lint
the desire to shooi Idly at the
Htrunded whale was not a good one
for a child or for anyone to Indulge .
So thought Miss Susan Glaspell ,
famous Provincetown playwright.
So strongly did she feel that she
wrote a letter to the local news
paper In protest against this prac-
tice on tho part of the town's chil-
dren. She went further than this.
She made a constructive sugges-
tion. She suld she wanted to see a
school program started to stimu-
late kindness and to make It Intel'"
estlng, stating that children who
learn klnduoHs In their early years
will make belter citizens later. Put-
ting I he query, why organizations
are so indifferent to acts of cruelly
in their districts , she begged them
to come out of their lethargy and
each the children that love and
kindness will bring such pleasures
that acts of cruelty can never bring
to I hem.
Those wordH have borne fruit ,
