more ways than one," Wick said, persisting in being stupid.
 Molly's gaze roamed about, and then she stiffened with resent ment. The man who had wei. comed them at the door was starr ing at her intently. He spoke to another man at the table, who whirled about in his chair and stared at her, too.
 She wouldn't tell Wick about these obno.. .lous men. Wick might magnify the incident and start something. She smiled ct the idea No, Wick wouldn't, but Brent, if he were here, would be certain to start smashing things.
 As though her thoughts had turned into substance, there-en- tering the room-was Brent.
 Of all thingsl Coming here when he wouldn't bring her. But of course Brent was following her, dogging her footsteps, shadowing her protecting her when she did- nt want or need his protection.

Regional Planning
 Strongly Advocated
New England Commission Recommends Continuance
 Through Cooperation of State Boards

The report of the New England Regional Planning Commission to the National Resources Committee which has just been published chal- lenges the thoughtful consideration of all the people of New England. Briefly, the commission recommends the continuance of regional plan- ming through the cooperation of state planning boards and federal officials in tho area, and also rec ommends encouraging and assisting the New England states in the nee gotiations and approval of interstate compacts. These recommendations do not call for an outlay of large sums of money, nor are they ideal- iSt!s proposals: on the contrary, they are extremely practical and, in the eventual balance sheet, Q sound investment.
 The report which includes Q fac- tual summary of New Englands economic, industrial and physical structure, adequately proves the necessity of cooperative and CO., ordinated action among the six New New England states as Q whole, If the region is to derive the greatest possible benefits from its natural resources. The natural development of the planning field from long ex- perlence with village improvement organizations, town and city plan ming commissions has made the New England states familiar with the needs and purposes of planning work. However, the preparations of the regional plan involves the con- tinuous collection, interpretation and adjustment of facts, and 1t is therefore, essentially one of long term effort.
 Tho major features of the rec gional plan for New England, as proposed in the commissions report are Q coordinated transportation

system, comprising highways, rail. roads, airwayS and motorways; the conservation and development of interstate water resources, most im- portant of which are the Connecti- cut, Merrimack and Blackstone rive CTS; the preservation of outstanding natural, scenic, and historic fea- lures of the region; the develop. ment of interstate areas and facill- ties necessary for conservation and recreation.
 It should he borne in mind that the place in which we live Is not ours only: we hold 1t in trust for future generations and we owe those future generations the duty of keep ing and preserving the assets we rNw have. We have wasted much and 1t Is only recently that we have taken up conservation in earnest. We must look to our natural as- sets: we must see to 1t that the future can supply timber; we must guard our watersheds and provide for public recreation and for pro- lection of wild life.
 It is time to discard our prac- tice of waiting until one industry fails in order to develop another in our accustomed haphazard way. The remedy seems to lie in wise planning for the future of New England: to profit by the system- atic application of our Yankee in- genuity and energy to our prob- lems and to base our action on our known resources and the wiseSt possible use of them.
 The commission Is fully aware that results cannot be obtained in 6 day. It does not advocate any revolutionary methods, enormous expenditures of public monies, wild schemes or vast experiments. It does believe that by budgeting our resources and carefully planning in a modest way, with the advice and criticism of our most public-Spirited citizens, over Q period of years there can be develop edcertain permanent plans which will cover the whole range of social and economic prob- lems which may never be wholly solved, but which can be, at least, attacked more intelligently than ever before.

MY GARDEN.

Gardens are very well, like them
thus
With streams that slip in CLASSY
ouietude
7 would have flowers lean from their
messy ledge
To kiss narcissus-like their image
there.
would have hemlock trees to cast a
shade,
And banks with honeysuckle and wild
thyme.
And | would have a gardener old and
slow
Waiting upon his spade reflectively.
60 through dim aisles of green then
would slip
And none should hinder me, and
none should speak,
Except my gardener, old as time and
quiet,
7 would find violets before their buds
Had opened into bloom beneath their
leaves,
Watch the plum blossom bud and
flower and fall,
Bring the veined snowdrops lying
faint, and pale
with their own freshness and their
beauty, home
In NV cold fingers, ready to be put
In bowls of ancient silver polished
fair.
Yes. such a garden would 1 have; but
where
Outside of Eden may I find it here?
