Now that we have disposed of a large part of our income
and many Americans know not when they can ever replace it
as a last resort there is talk of thrift and some have come to
realize that this country was founded and kept strong by work,
thrift and economy.
It was the elder brother who
stayed home and kept the farm
producing life-giving things—work-
ing the soil , raising the cattle, keep-
ing the home fires burning. There
would have been no home to come
back to if he had been like his
brother—the Prodigal Son—a wan-
derer—a spendthrift—wasting his
patrimony and depending on oth-
ers. How easy it is to spend other
people's money—people who do
that are called liberals, such gen-
erous warmhearted people, but
when It cornea to their own money
and denying themselves of the
flesh pots of life they are like the
Scotsman I once heard about. The
Scotch are supposed to be thrifty
and rather close, They do not spend
their money recklessly. They get
their money's worth. Why shouldn't
they ? Well this particular man was
so careful that when he opened his
purse one day "A moth fell out."
That must have been a long time
ago. Now you find your purse is
open most of the time, so it's a prob-
lem to keep anything in it, even a
moth.
1 think It's a sliame for a man to
work hard and deny himself of
many comforts and pleasures in
order to leave his family somewhat
independent when he dies—then to
have men who have been elected to
serve our interests step In and take
over a large share of it by an In-
come tax to spend on other peo-
ple's children, maybe prodigal sons,
unknown and not even liked by the
people who made and saved the
money . . . and even worse—frit-
tered away on some extravagant
project. Nobody talks about the
little people whose income is al-
ways going lower and lower and
can never be higher unless the dol-
lar is once more restored to its
former value. It's only the people
who are making good wages and
salaries , or having pensions, social
security, or large incomes from
business or other sources who come
Into the limelight of the radio
broadcasters. The little Independ-
ent fellows can just go without.
They are also expected to contrib-
ute generously to everything the
general public can think up to keep
going. Little people have big
hearts sometimes and they also
like to see their homes and yards
look well kept, but when they can-
not pay the rising prices they soon
find their places have that forlorn,
abandoned look that makes them
heart-sick.
it is often the little things ot
life that get us down—a comma, a
period, a misplaced letter changes
everything. Evidently in my last
article I did not write one letter
clearly—for instead of tin kitchens
it came out tin pitchers. I .must be
more careful . It would be a gener-
ous act if people who have large
estates with shrubs and bulbs that
need to be divided often would re-
member to give some to people who
love them but cannot afford to buy
them anymore, If ever.
I have noticed that often a post-
card has brought wheel chairs,
horses, baby carriages and all sorts
ol necessary things to shut-iii B and
needy people showing that it's just
a lack or knowledge or thought
that prevents a distribution of
some of the good things of life ,
that some are blessed with aud
would be glad to share with those
less fortunate If they are worthy of
help.
There are all sorts ot work-sav-
ing gadgets coming out ever so
often, but if you have no money to
buy them or pay for their upkeep
better skip the ads and keep on In
the sumo old way. You will not be
so discontented with your lot, Some-
how you get the idea that If only
you can wash from morning until
night with some of these wonder-
ful soaps—why that 's all a woman
ever wants to do.
liore is an ad that might well be
a blow to advertisers and manu-
facturers of all the soaps that make
your hands so soft and white; even
in the dish pan 11' you use their
products you will still have that
wonderful skin that men adore.
Most women use a mop . . . but
listen to this: "Cameron's Portable
Dish Washer Answers Mother 's
Every Wish . It washes, rinses,
dries , etc." Evidently It does every-
thing but talk. Whnt a blow tor
Ivory Soap—Beuutiful Ivory Snow;
1)117.; Souplno; Oxydol and all the
hundreds of products that have
been on the market for years. The
price Is, however, $49.96, so every-
body will not be able to buy one
immediately. The soap operas will
be on the air for a long time yet—
and the old dish pan and mop will
be found in many homes.
Mother s hands will have to take
a change on keeping in the beauty
class by rubbing on some Jergen's
Lotion, Almond Cream or whatever
can be round around the house that
is supposed to do the trick. Mother
has had her day, It only comes once
a year, but don't think she won't
take time off on some ot the 364
days that are left. Mother may be
a busy woman but she still takes
time for her clubs and social affairs.
She keeps up with the times, the
styles, and watches the bargains
and makes her dollar go aa far as
possible. Oh, mother might have
been a back number—once on a
time—never expected to go far
from home, but not any more. She
keeps in circulation now and even
grandma and grandpa seem to find
life worth living. Children often
come to love their grandparents as
much as they do their own parents.
A little girl told her Auntie she
did love to stay at her house. Of
course Auntie was exceedingly
pleased—until she added these
words . . . "on account ot the dog."
Auntie hadn't considered the dog.
It is never safe to take all the
praise or blame for yourself.
If you are dissatisfied with your
face, especially your nose, you can
have it reshaped. You can have
Roman, snub, turn-up, long or short,
patrician, anything you like. Isn't
that wonderful. Of course It takes
time and money, but if England
can make wigs for all its bald-
headed people, why not let Ameri-
cans look forward to free noses—
everything tree, in fact—but in the
meantime we had better make the
most of what we have and be
thankful. , '

National Maritime Day Proclaimed
Sunday, May 22nd. is National Maritime Day. In 1933
this day was dedicated to the American Merchant Marine, when
a resolution to this effect was adopted by Congress. Since then
the President has issued annually a proclamation designating
the day.
Locally, the Massachusetts Maritime Academy will hail the
day by having a window display of marine affairs in Buzzards
Bay, and the midshipmen will hold a meeting on Monday, May
23, of their Student Port of the Propeller Club of the United
States, and elect their new officers. The Massachusetts Maritime
Academy Student Port was chartered in 1943.
Public and private buildings and homes are asked to display
the Flag on Maritime Day. America has a maritime history of
which we may be proud. It is a good base on which to rear an
equally proud future.
E D I T O R I A L S —
It has always been important that we have American ships
sailing the seas of the world. Today it is vital. Our ships are a
requisite for coastal defense at all times and, with the current
imminence of war upon us, they are indispensable for coastal
and even longer-range defense.
In case of war , our own ships are needed to carry our troops
to whatever shores circumstances direct. To be dependent at
such a time upon the ships of foreign sovereignty is inconceiv-
able. Then , too, if our troops have gone abroad , supplies must
follow in constant flow , and there must be no lack of ships.
Since to be at war is not thought of in this country'as a
normal state of living, our attention turns naturally to peace-
time conditions , and we think of trade and travel. Even without
a thought of war , it is far better that American trade should be
under our own control in our own ships, likewise that our people
should travel in our own ships. When an American ship leaves
our shores, it is America taking to the high seas, and those
aboard are treading on American soil when they walk the ship's
decks. They are sailing every moment under the laws of the
United States, are subject to them and have their protection.
Goods sent in trade are, as well, subject to our country 's laws
and protected by them.
An adequate peace-time Merchant Marine will have ships
that could quickly be converted to military and naval use, in the
event of war. Thus it serves a two-fold purpose, with no en-
forced period of idleness waiting to fulfill its purpose; for , while
serving the one, it is yet prepared to serve the other.
No one should be indifferent to our American Merchant
Marine, nor should we count whatever cost is needed to build ,
equip, and maintain a strong Merchant Marine.
\ Well may we compare the relationship of our Merchant
Marine to our common weal as a people with that of the blood
stream to the human body. As the life blood courses through j
vein and artery, so our ships moving to and fro through the
world water arteries of traffic in trade and travel keep our body
politic in good business health, relieve congestion in trade, main-
tain a good balance in thought and interchange of views and
ideas by moving our citizens about in various pafts of the world
to transact business and to visit other countries and see other
customs. This is true, of course, with the country 's internal
transportation system, the railroads as well as the river and canal
boats, but in an extended sense, it is equally true of distance
travel and trade , with the whole world as the field of operation.
The body politic cannot become stagnant; it must have a
life-giving force. Nor can the human body grow" dull and slug-
gish ; it , too, must have a life-giving force.
Flowing through the human blood stream are the red and
the white corpuscles , tiny bodies many in number , which per-
form the vital functions of carrying oxygen from the lungs to
various parts of the body (the red corpuscles); and of protecting
the body from the attack of invading bacilli by absorbing and
killing them and from forei gn bodies by surrounding and isolat-
ing them (the white corpuscles).
Do not our merchant ships do the same for the body politic
by protecting it from foreign attacks and invasions , by supplying
the goods, the oxygen stimulant to a lively trade?
The blood stream carries in the oxygen and the nourish-
ment and removes the waste; the merchant ships bear the trade
of the nation , bringing in needed goods, taking away our sur-
pluses. They administer a constant feeding and exchange, they
nourish the economic well-being of the nation.
The recent war is too fresh in the minds even of young
people today for anyone not to recall what the Merchant Marine
meant and the fine standing of the men who sailed its ships.
In honoring this branch of war service, let it be a construc-
tive honoring. Let us honor it by a cognizance of our continuing
need of it , whether for peace or for war, and by promoting,
whenever opportunity offers, an American Merchant Marine of
life-giving strength.

May 19, 1949
Dear Theodosia:
When I was stopping over in
Nantucket recently, I was walking
about on a very warm, pleasant
day, just like summer. You may re-
member that the wooden benches
set around on the brick sidewalks ,
where folks may sit and rest or
read, or just chat with one's neigh-
bors as they saunter by. 1 must say
I found it a pleasant thing to do,
too.
While I was doing some saunter-
ing myself , I saw a drug store with
its front windows all covered and a
sign that read something like this,
"Closed for vacations; get your
prescriptions ahead , enough to last
30 days." Dearie me, I thought,
what about folks taken sick dur-
ing the 30 days? Just then 1 noticed
another drug store a few doors'up,
and I felt quite relieved , because
I imagine, In an emergency, a rival
druggist could nil a prescription for
his competitor's customers.
For luncheon 1 met a friend and
we ate together in one o'
r the res-
taurants. She told me the street It
was on was called "Petticoat Row,"
because at one time the people In
business on thut street were all
women. Even now , several of those
women are still established there.
While I was lunching with my
friend , she told me some very Inter-
esting things about the town.
In summer, each evening from
8:30 to 10 o'clock, townspeople
guther on Main Street for a good
old-fashioned community sing. Any-
one present who can do so leads
the singing, and a blind accordion-
ist accompanies the voices, al-
though they have acquired a por-
table organ aud now that is carried
out there evenings.
My, I surely would like to be on
hand some night tills summer.
Some other things she told me I
will write you about at another
time.
Your loving /
Aunt Jane.
