What Father Cassidy Said in Fall River

What Father Cassidy Said in Fall River
 This department will be a weekly feature of The Press, and will be de- voted to the presentation of matter that will interest good citizens and disturb bad ones. Bad citizens, the editor of this column believes, are those who break laws, those who dc not enforce laws, and those who dc not lend all possible assistance in se- curing law enforcement. This in. cludes some "good citizens'' of Staf. ford, falsely so called.
 Father Cassidy of Fall River re. gently said: "When will we ever have the law enforced? When will we ever have it care for the morals ot our children? When will we ever have a ourfew that will oblige these children to take themselves to their homes? What we want in public life to-day is more morality. Why is it necessary for me or any other man in public or private to say to the public authorities: 'These saloons are wide open on Sundays?' Why il it necessary for me or any other mar to say that teams are peddling liquor through our oity like the pedlel peddles apples or cabbages? Dom they know it better than do? Don the public authorities know thei business? If they don't, it is tim they stood aside and gave some on else a chance to do the work.''

The writer understands that John Melbourne made short speech after the writer had left the room One thing is certain: Here were GA persons, practically all of them boys, responding without hesitation and in the heartiest manner to the appeal to the best and highest principles and ideals. If the citizens of Stafford realize what an opportunity they have thus presented to them, they will gladly pour out their money to do that most important of all work, the work of formation, always so much wiser and so much cheaper than the work of reformation. The boys are not intending to be mere dependents. They overwhelmed "Father" after the banquet with offers of cooperation and money. But to inaugurate the movement successfully will require a considerable amount of money. After that there is reason to expect fair return for all that is invested.

"About the most reSourceful young person I've encountered in the real eS tate line," said Pittsburg man, ''came from Ohio. He secured a place with a real estate firm. The second evening he was in town one of his co-workers introduced him to an evening gather Ing at the house of a well known merchant. The company, learning that the newcomer possessed a voice, invit- ed him to sing. He responded with Home, Sweet Home.'
 Everybody was surprised at his se- lection, but as it was well done he was heartily applauded. Then he sur prised them some more.
 Stepping forward to the center of the room, he said:
 I'm glad you liked the song. There is nothing like Home, Sweet Home,

Running Races

Dear Aunt Laurie:
MY favorite playground is the lawn
of my neighbor, who lives a short DIS
tance from my home. Our lawn Is TOO
small to play many games on, SO l az
ways go to my neighbor's lawn every
evening.
Here the children of the neighbor-
hood gather to play games and IN the
evening tell ghost or fairy stories.
One evening a few children were
there playing, as usual, when we start
ed a continued story. 1t was very
dark, there being no moon, so we de-
cided it to be a ghost story.
The story was very interesting ana
Creepy" the ghost being very active
and sly. Just as the story reached IT'S
most thrilling point we heard rust
ling in the tall grass near, the road. II
didn't take Us very long TO reach the
house, / can tell you. We were so
frightened we wouldn't go near the
lawn alone that night, and all decided
there would be no more ghost stories
in the future.
We often run different races on our
playground. One day we were running
a race backward, when my foot slipped
and fell onto the ground, striking my
head. | thought it had almost killed
me at first but l heard the others
laughing so decided l wasn't hurt
badly.
They told me it was a good thing
fell so near the hydrant. for If | had
tainted there was plenty of water
handy They made a great many jokes
about 1t, so I laughed and didn't tell
them how badly | was hurt.
| think it would be a fine thing IL
the city of Eel Centre would have an
amusement park for the children. who
would certainly enjoy it,

caved in there are piles of sand where
we have great fun.
The smaller children have a small
beach bucket and shovel and we take
an umbrella over and spend the after
Moons.
The bluff is about fifty feet high on
the bluff side and on the other side
is the side of the hill. In the east we
could slide on snow, but here we slide
down the sand bluff, and we also get
sleds and slide down the side of the
hill on the dry grass.
/ think about the most interesting
part of the hill is its formation. We
will be digging or throwing sand and
we will find shells all broken up and
whole shells like we find on the beach.
The beach sand, the shells and the
way we find the shells all prove that
the ocean used to be there.
Another interesting thing about our
playground is the sights you can see
from it. We can see Long Beach, San
Pedro, Los Angeles and other towns
in every direction but east.
l think our playground is perfect be-
cause you can always find some game
to play and always have to behave
properly, and then there is no danger
of hurting bare feet on glass

Playground at Beach

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My favorite playground is the beach,
and the most interesting feature is the
ocean.
If it were not for the ocean there
would not be nearly so much boating,
bathing or fishing as there is now.
Every morning and every afternoon
we-Violet and I-go in bathing. Three
years ago | learned to swim and to
float, and this summer l am going TO
learn to dive and to swim under water.
Two years ago 1 was taught how to
row a boat. 1t blistered my hands a
little bit, but 1 am none the worse off
for it now. The thing that l enjoy
most in boating is looking down into
the water. There are so many things
OF interest to be seen there.
1 think studying about fish would be
very interesting, and some time l mean
to get a book on Monsters of the
Deep"
| have never caught fish that | re-
member about, but mamma says that
have caught fish while l was in
Florida. Your loving niece,

Nice flowers and ferns grow all
around it. Then there is the lily pond

court and eroquet grounds.
In back there are big rocks and

When 1 go up there 1 like to play
hide and go seek as there are so many
places to hide. I believe that is the
most amusing feature.
