Communication

Dear Mr. Editor:
1 want to say just a few words in
reply to the communication of last
week. The Captain of the Police
Boat is not lost; they are taking good
care of the boat. She is at anchor,
where she was during the war; when
she was keeping Hudson from being
bombarded by the German Sub-ma-
rine. We think that the chain has
rusted from being at one place so
long he is afraid he can't get the
anchor. Otherwise they are keeping
the boat in splendid condition.
He was also on vacation spend
ing a. few days at Madison and
Church Creek. The people were
very glad to see him.
The oystermen hope that they
won't smother him while they are
carrying him in their tight cabins
and automobile top boats.
The tongers were very glad to see
him few days ago when he came by
1t was at first thought an air place
was coming, but when they found it
was the Captain of the Police Boat,
riding a mule; to be sure of it they
went ashore and found the seat of
his pants and the tail of mule on a
bush in the woods on McKeel's Point

Looking Ahead

After the Detroit fire in the early
part of the last century the entire
city was re-plotted and its great
radiating thoroughfares spread like
the spokes of a wheel from the City
Hall site. The planners calculated
that the city would be half way be-
tween the river and the ultimate
northern boundary Of Detroit. With
in ninety years the population or The
city had so utterly Overrun the eX-
pected boundaries that four fifths of
the people lived outside of them.
Thus, do we Cambridge people utter
~ fail to believe III our own future.
We Americans, have been called
boastful people and we have been
guilty OF much talk on occasion, but
the widest tales of the most valiant
booster seldom approaches the
substantial facts of town and city
growth. Chicago, Detroit, Cieve-
land, Akron, Baltimore. New Haven,
Niagara Falls and hundreds of other
cities have grown amazingly in po)-
ulation, wealth ana civic advance
ment
4 thousand smaller towns have
outrun all plans for their growth in
a lesser measure. AS individuals,
Americans posses imagination and
courage equal to best but we have
tragically failed to meet our COM
munity needs or use our community
opportunities.
Reason tells us that democratic
government must represent mediocr
ity, rather than the highest commun-
ity intelligence, because there are
more voters with common place gray
matter than with strikingly capable
minds. But reason ought also to tel
III hat democrao$ in action, must
have government supplemented by
jvouuntary organization completely
outside of the official group thai
teaches team thinking, stimulates
community imagination, and is not
afraid to stand boldly as the chain
pion of the unappreciated wonders
that the future offers to US.
How is this need to be met? We
must realize that it is task of spirit
ual leadership The hard and prac-
teal trial of this doctrine comes
when a one horse merchant grumpi-
ly demands to be shown. Then the

nearly always, to stir even the small

faith he has lost hope of democracy.
In mechanics the greater the opposi-
