to card index my sensations, I was across the

useless to attempt any card lndexing of my

KellS
IS of His Impression of the Shop, and His
Philosophy of Work

folks did routine work and people came in
and paid bills and got estimates and all that
sort of commercial thing Otherwise it was
in harmony with the two other rooms.
Then somebody came up and asked if |
wanted to see the ''shop." I did. He Git was
the owner and proprietor himself) acted as
guide. 1t was a genuine print shop, minus
all the disorder and dirt and dingness that
are considered the bosom companions of
print shops. 1t was a genuine print shop as
to machinery and equipment, plus high cell
ings, many broad windows on four sides,
lots of fresh air and cleanliness. It was
genuine print shop,-plus personality plus
esprit de corps. There, that is what | have
been trying to say! You could see it and feel
it the minute you entered the shop.
knew then had come upon the secret
of the place. Here was the tangible thing of
which Ruskin and Morris and Browning
wrote; the performance of work. not from a
sordid commercial viewpoint but from the
viewpoint of turning out a product that is a
credit to the workman; that finds it's justif-
cation not in its cost tag but in it's honesty
and perfection and artistry; that reflects not
merely technique, but also temperament;
something that is not only handicraft, but
also soulcraft into which the workers have
put something of themselves. Raphael when
asked how he obtained his wonderful tones
and matchless expressions, replied, 81 mix
my paints with my tears and paint with my
soul rather than with brush" If Raphael
had been printer he would have worked in
a shop like Kells.
The masterpieces of fiction have been
written, the masterpieces of art have been
painted, the most exquisite harmony has been
composed by those who thought of the work
rather than the reward who strove to trans
fer and translate into material form the
truth and beauty that was within them. They
looked upon their work as an opportunity
rather than a necessity, as something to be
glorified rather than something to be en-
dured.
'The man most man, -a0ith tenderest hunan
hands
Works best for men, as God In Nazareth" %
Christ worked--to what end? To establish
political kingdom, to make himself rich, to
gain power? None of these! He worked to
do good, to make mankind happy! He worked
for men So, too have the greatest men of
all ages. And by so doing they have been
blest with that which has been denied those
who have worked for gain. Not a school
child but can tell of some great man or
woman who did great whole-hearted burn
ing-souled work, who are remembered not
for what they got from their work, but for
its character and quality.

Recollections Of Squire Lovett
Recalled.

Dan Finkbone, overseas man, rehab
student, superintendent of grounds at
Kells, good American always, halls
from Reading but is interested in
Kells, Newark, and other good things
hereabouts. So this week, Dan brings
in an interesting story from the
Reading Eagle. The story is that of
the Diamond Deeds of the Famous
Actives," Readings Pioneer Baseball
Team, which back in the '7O's was one
of the country's best. Col. William
A. Jameson of the U. S. District
Court, Denver, Colorado, is the
writer of this interesting story.
Among those who in those days
played on the old team, of local New
ark interest is the photograph of
Leon Lovett, as pitcher of the Actives,
now known to us as L. W. Lovett, our
town 'Squire-and was the speed arm
of his day. The team was, according
to the story, at it's height in IA and
rs, playing a winning game from the
big fellows, and winning a National
recognition. The word "Active" blazed
across the uniform of Leon Lovett has
not faded for the Squire is still an
"Active" in baseball, as magistrate,
and as citizen.
