by Clara J. Hallett This is your local station 213 Ocean No K. The September 10th issue of the Saturday Evenino i> lias an article headed "What Shall We Do About ComL? 81 Teachers?" Why should it take any time at all to answer th! question. Haven 't we had troubles enough with Communi f all over the world , not to mention the ever growing aimy t them in our own country. ™ We ought to know by this time what they can do to our way of lite. No matter how much knowledge they poBseBs, the more they have the worse it will be tor us; no mat- ter how well qualified they are to Impart it to others, their Influence in and outside of school on the growing minds of young students would be contrary to everything we believe in and have fought for since the Declaration of Independ- ence. It any communist teachers get a grip (in American school children it will be because unwittingly we have men and women In office now In our government who favor those Ideas and are working secretly to advance them. It Is not easy, to remove those people once they gain a foothold as we ought to know by past experi- ence. We have been altogether too easy with groups of men like Harry Bridges, Earl Browder and many other undesirable citizens or aliens ' who are always creating disturbing - scenes, calling strikes that are a ' menace to our national security • and prosperity. Do we want the kind of govern- ment that is overthrown every few ' months as we And in some other 1 countries. With no one in power ' long enough to be qualified to deal with. Do we want a Labor govern- ment as they have now in Eng- land? I fall to see that people have I prospered under it any better than . they did under the Conservative : government, the Churchill govern- • ment so called. 3 There are too many Communists > in the labor unions to be weeded 3 out ot the party before It will be able to improve living standards or a conditions, Russia seems to be the . only country that nothing can . change. Long ago we took the wrong turn in the road and we have been wandering around in the wilderness . ever since, until we come to a dead . end. I see no signs of turning • around. ) Gambling on our future, spending our money and subBtance before we possess it. The government spend- ing our money recklessly without j knowing what they can find to tax l next, putting heavy burdens on our s own people who find it harder and ¦ harder every year to live within _ their incomes and no incentive to j save. Unions calling for more and more wages and benefits . . . add- ing to the higher cost of living. Strikers and union leaders seem to be the only ones who have unlimited rightB. One reporter said something might be done to reduce taxes and extravagant Federal spending If ' we could eliminate the human ele- ' ment. The greed and graft of peo- ple in power. The outlook Is hopelesB. Never- ' thedess if it goes on long enough , the human element and the whole standard of living will be elimi- ' nated for all but a chosen few. We the people are supposed to rule, but not all the people—anymore than Civil Rights cover everyone, Are the people changing so much that many of us do not like their supposed ruling? n we go on this way, little by little our government will think we work Just to support the administration that happens to be in power, whether it takes over with a smile, with false ideas or force, we shall not enjoy the free- dom we have been used to in America, we are losing it every 4ay even now. The President seems to be»wi ing for the whole country to k hl-Jacked every time a contract u to expire, by the unions, raUle than Invoke the Taft-Hartley ]Jj or any other powers he may w to stop these strikes. Why has h aBked for unlimited power t0 / things when unless it suits hl8 J litlcal ambitions, as in the case oi the unions, he falls to use it « strikes have ever been settled rii until the strikers have gained sorn part of what they have demanded RalBing wages and salaries is ,, way to make living easier for ih majority of the people when th government- has to force an _ people to pay for it, Our count* will grow weaker and weaker n der this blind mismanagement All this talk about the richest count* In the world had better stop, th«, are plenty of poor people In it am many people who try to get by not will Boon become burdens to othen if the government taxes them mot. and more alt the time. In spite of the handwriting ci the wall I cannot believe we win submit to a regimented life or Ut* orders from any set of men fj long. Too many lives have been ion to win personal freedom for us to remain forever in our present mixed up way of life. Leaders will be found to guide us into a genuine kind of peaceful prosperity founded on a safe foundation , not buil t 0D shifting sand. We have to keep talking abow this. We must. .

Barnstable 1«-« The Editor * Dream The latest issue of the American Press quotes the title of . a column in a Pennslvania newspaper as "The Editor 's Dream", then proceeded to tell the dream story. A tired newspaper editor lay down to sleep at the end of a busy day. He had a lovely dream. He dreamed of his paper coming off the press perfect in every detail. Every item that he had intended to go in was in, and there was not a single mis- take. Nothing was omitted that should have gone in. Punctu- tion and spelling were all in order , picture captions in their right places, all credit lines noted, and pictures reproduced clearly. It was a perfect paper , and the dream, certainly, must have been a lovely one. However one might like to bring to reality such a dream as this, and however important it is that such details of the physicaPpaper should be kept as near perfection as possible; the editor has other purposes that concern him and about which he dreams when awake and about the fulfillment of which he wishes he might dream when asleep. An attractive dream for an editor, we think , would show a newspaper with just the right amount of space to hold all the news and features that have been prepared for publication and enough additional space to insert some interesting fillers , plenty of which are always kept on hand to fill vari-sized holes. All the regular features the Patriot, for example, plans and tries to include in each issue would be there in full force, plus those features which, for lack of space, cannot get by the planning stage. How did we get on this subject? It is National Newspaper Week this week, from October 1 to 8, when the public are sup- posed to be reminded of the privileges that are ours in America in being able to publish and to read newspapers that are free to express not only facts, but"also opinions. The country weeklies supposedly come straight from out the people themselves, from the "grass roots" of America, out where everything is next to the original source, to the soil, the roots, the grass, from where Nature keeps her storehouse of supplies toward filling our needs. The "grass roots" of America are represented by our farmers , our homesteaders, our conser- vationists, who are in the last analysis the backbone of America. There are many things we would include as essential to a good weekly family newspaper. Omitting details, we will men- tion only one fundamental requirement,—that of news. What news should we publish ? Our conception is that the paper should furnish local news for the residents here and for those part-time residents who are away in their winter homes for a good part of the year. It should, as well, bring to local attention news from away that concerns us here locally or is about persons who are Cape-con- nected. The weekly paper should tell about places of interest both on Cape Cod or away, when such places are thought to be of interest for us to visit. For the most part, local news means Barnstable, Chatham, and parts of Yarmouth; but that does not preclude outstanding news from any part of Cape Cod.

Town ot Barnstable Cape Cod September 29, 1949 Dear Theodosla: This Is to be a story about a cat. As I was sitting at my desk one day not long ago, I thought I saw something move, out of the corner of my eye and, looking up, sure enough, there was n cat a foot or two away. How he got in, I don't know, but there he was. I spoke to him , whereupon he came over and jumped Into my lap. He then crawled up to my shoulder , walked around the back of my neck to the other shoulder, from which he jumped to the desk. He repeated this performance several times, jumping from desk to shoulder , walking to the other shoulder and jumping to the desk again, varying It every few times with a trip to my lap. During these excursions he bit my hand , my arm, my neck, and even took the lobe of my ear between his teeth. All the while, he was purring and nestling his head close In to my neck and against my cheek. Although I put him down several times and even out of the room, back he came for a repeat per- formance, notifying me of MB ar- rival by a faint, little me ow. He was cunning and his presence, even his antics were agreeable ; but, : after all, 1 had work to do and he was, with the best of intentions to the contrary, 1 don't doubt , in- terfering with it, so that I finally had to put him out ot doors. I don't know where he went, but I didn't see him aagin. All I had left were his paw prints on my dress and on the paper on which I was writing, as it lay on the desk.
