@. PATRICK NELSON, who has
illustrated many of the stories
and articles in This WEEK, began
his art career when he was three
wears old. His first commissions
were from his school teachers,
who paid for his paintings with
pieces of pie and cake.
He's a famous artist now, and
it would take lot of pie to pay
for one ofkis pictures - but he is
probably prouder of his ability
as a magician than as an artist.
Magic has been his hobby since
hewas a boy. When he was study
ing art in Paris, he met Howard
Thurston. the magician, and was
in his company night and day for
three months.

PSYCHOLOGISTS would say that
Paul W. Kearney was "condl-
toned" at birth for his article on
the toll of fireworks, which ap-
pears in this issue - since he was
born on the Fourth of July.
He chases fire engines at every
opportunity but, ION threat OF
divorce, had to substitute an
ultra short wave radio set for the
gong in the bedroom" He still
"rolls" to bad fires at any hour
of the day or night - and he
regularly visits burned buildings
after the blaze is out so as to
study fire behavior.
He has written two books and
more than 12O magazine articles
on fire topics, and his one-man
war on the fire demon recently
won him an honorary life men,
bership in the International As
sociation of Fire Chiefs.

DOM"
We walked about the grounds in
White Sulphur Springs, but this 30
vear-old colored mans comments rang
through my ears as so much more i'm
portant than anything else heard.
Security and freedom! Why should
they not be available for all men at all
times? Recently, a girl who was gradu-
ated from college with degree wrote
to me about herself She had freedom.
She was earning her own way. But at
what? She was a cook and maid. She
had no security.
Under European dictatorship many
men are still wealthy. They have
economic security But they have no
freedom.
Whv cannot men have bothe
The trouble is that when we speak
of security nowadays, we do not mean
that we are to build a secure existence
for ourselves with our own hands and
our own minds and our own abilities.
We mean that the government -
some government - is to guarantee us
security. Some government is to guar
antee us that, from the cradle to the
grave, we are never to be in danger OF
hunger. We mean that if we are untor-
tunate or if we make mistakes or If we

suffer from accidents of nature or OF
our own commission, we shall still be
protected against all consequences.
That's what we mean.
Man has always sought security.
The immigrants who came to this
country from all sorts of lands and
conditions sought both security and
freedom. And many found both.
But they never expected the govern
ment to guarantee anything. They
were, in fact, afraid of governments.
Their experience with governments
had been so unfortunate that they
came here primarily for freedom and
they were happy to get what they
could Of security.
They titled the soil. They worked
in the mines. They went into mills and
factories. Some of them even labored
in sweat-shops. But they saved and
scraped and got some money together.
And many of them sent their children
to colleges. They produced our genera
ton. All of us here are the progeny of
such immigrants.
They never thought of security as
something which some one else would
create for them. They thought of
security as something which they would
build for themselves And they did
build it for themselves around the
family - around the billions of dollars
which are invested in homes and farms,
in savings bank accounts and life in
surance policies, in small businesses
and small investments
IF you look out on the world today,
you will find that we really have
large measure of security and large
measure Of freedom. There is place
or two on this earth where economic
security is more general and is govern
ment-guaranteed - but in those coun-
tries, there is no freedom.
We want both. We want both secur-
ity and freedom. But we want them
both as the product of our own achiev-
ing.
We want security as a product Of
our own work. We want freedom as the
result of our own vigilance. We want
neither as a gift.

Every little while we realize
afresh that the people of North
America are the most humane
and generous on earth. Anna
Louise Strong has been touring
this continent, raising money for
the children of Spain of all
political faiths - who have been
made destitute by the civil
war. She reports: Regina, capl-
tai of Saskatchewan, is so poor,
after seven years of drought, that
this year no inhabitant paid an
income tax. One-quarter Of them
have been on relief. But they
contributed $500 to help care for
the Spanish children. Five men
who had just got jobs gave FIVE
dollars apiece out Of their hrst
weeks salary.
FOR answering devotion to his
professional duties, we rate as

PERHAPS we are on the threshold
of another great Age of Ro-

piece Of evidence that in America
stronger vein Of romance is de-
veloping. The Congressional Ii
brary has always had staff of
scholars in addition to its several
million volumes, but not until
this year have poetry and poet
been given a definite high place
in this great cultural center. The
newly created position is that of
consultant in English poetry,
and it goes to Joseph Auslander,
one of Americas foremost poets.
Those who have read "A Brew
arv for the Dark Hours" " Letter
to Duse," and "Steel," have
learned to love not only these
but Joseph Auslander's other
poems. His life is romantic. His
beautiful young wife, Audrey

author to receive the Pulitzer
prize for poetry; the award was

THOUSANDS OF MOTORISTS
BEHIND IN APPLICATIONS

The office of the Commissioner Of
Motor Vehicles, hoping for the best
but fearing the worst, this week re-
ported $4,000 Maryland motorists
have not yet applied for the new
driving permits they must obtain be-
fore December 81.
Harry Bullen, in charge of the re-
registration of motorists required un-
der a law enacted by the 1887 Legis-
lature, forecast gloomily that, unless
the number of daily applications dou-
bled, "we'll be in for really serious
tag rush in December"
Bullen said only $4,000 drivers
have applied for new permits, out of
an estimated total of 450, 900 motor
lists in the State. About $4,000 new
permits have been issued to date.
The law requires that all permits
issued prior to June 1, 1887, be re-
pewed before the end of the year, on
payment of 81 fee. Funds derived
from the reregistration are allocated
to relief and allied social security pur-
poses.

FISHERMEN REPORTING
BIG CATCHES OF FISH

Fishermen throughout the tide
water sections of Somerset county are
reporting wonderful catches of the
finny tribe. After experiencing only
meagre luck all during the summer,
fish are now appearing in our waters
in large quantities.
Most of the catches UP to this time
have been made in the daytime. But
beginning with the moonlight nights
week before last, several parties fish
ed all night when they found the
fish were more active during that
time. Mr.. John Handy, of Crisfield,
accompanied by a party of fishermen
reported exceptionally good luck dur
ing the bright nights he fished. Mr..
Handy said that this luck ceased
however, as soon as the sun begun to
rise. He also stated that with the
nights now dark, old timers predict
that the fishermen will have greater
success during the day.
Reports coming from Mt. Vernon
are that Mr.. John Moore experienced
an unusually large catch of rock while
he was trolling off the point, using
croakers as bait. 1t is reported sew.
eral of the fish were three Founders.

Detectives Miller and Socha who
took him into custody, said the two
fugitive charges related to two al
legged worthless checks for $25 each.
The company charged that on June
8 he gave the firm a $139 worthless
check for an outbound motor. The
lieutenant said it also was alleged
that on the same day he gave worth
less check for 500 for another out
board motor.
The lieutenant continued that Trab-
er & Hoeffer, Inc, jewellers, had COM
planned that Werner had failed to re-
turn a $3.50 cigarette case he obtained
from them on April II on memoran-
dunn and that A. A. Welsh, jeweler,
Brooklyn had complained Werner had
obtained a $65 gold key chain from
him under similar circumstances on
June II.
It further was alleged that on Oc-
tober 10 and 10 Werner cashed two
worthless checks for $50 each, at the
Ritz Carlton Hotel.
Detectives said Werner had $500 on
him when arrested.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
CHESTERTOWN WANTS TO
FIND HUGGER JACK

Who is "Jack The Hugger." This
is the question of the day in Ches-
tertown. An unidentified young white
man, described as being of average
size, light hair and wearing a red
sweater or jacket has been reported
molesting young ladies as they walk
ed on Washington Ave.
Jack works after night-fall and as
yet has not been identified. His sys-
tenn is to hide behind a tree, bush
and spring quickly out hug his vic
tim and then run.
There were four girls in one party
when Jack. sprang out and Rugged
one of the girls, another time it was
two girls. His operations have been
reported to extend from the College
Campus to DR.. Simmons residence. In
some cases "Jack" has been reported
to only watch.
The college students laid a trap
to catch him but "Jack" evidently was
not abroad that night, or else could
not be fooled.

EASTON WILL RETAIN
IT'S BASEBALL FRANCHISE

The prospect of losing their Eas-
tern Shore League baseball franchise
to Milford seems to have spurred the
Easton fans to prompt and effective
action.
They arranged a mass meeting and
invited George (Doc) Jacobs, Villa
nova College coach who managed the
club the past season down. At the
close of the meeting it was announced:
"The franchise will remain in Eas-
ton. Mr.. Jacobs will be back next
year as manager and a committee is
working out plans to meet his de-
mands. Spring training will begin
April 1 at Easton."
Spokesman said that as a result of
the meeting and conference, lights
probably would be installed to permit
night games and new stands erected
to take care of larger crowds.
AS soon as the Easton fans heard
reports that Jacobs had sold the fran
chise to Milford they got busy and
made plans for the meeting. The
manager told them at the meeting
that he had been dickering with Mil
ford but no papers had been signed.
Speakers said that Easton was keen
for baseball and asked Jacobs if he
would not give the town the first
chance at the franchise. He agreed,
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1937-10-08

was true Jacobs had decided to keep
the club in the Maryland town. AS a
result of Jacobs decision, Milford will
probably be without a representative
in organized baseball for another
season.
Although no papers had been signed
it is alleged by the Milford interests
that the dickering had reached such a
stage that they had practically been
assured the franchise would be
brought to Milford.
The Milford fans are keenly disap-
pointed over the prospect of going I'M
represented in organized baseball next
year.

100000 note, the paying of which
cleared the church in Indebtedness.

After the regular order of service
just before the pastor, Rev. Harry N.
Bailey, had taken his text, Mr.. Fred
T. Webster, treasurer of the Joshua
Thomas Homecoming Celebration" was
requested to give his report. Mr..
Webster then gave daily record of
receipts, the sum of which was ST.
246.O5.
Following the reading of the re-
port, the pastor invited all the trustees
present and Mrs. John Bennett, presi-
dent of the Ladies Aid Society to rep
resent the ladies of the community
who had done such efficient work in
raising this debt, to come forward.
Each were given a match and asked
to strike it and hold it to note.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1937-10-08

The congregation was then invited
to come forward, shake hands and
sing "The Old Account Was Settled
Long Ago" while the note burned.
This was followed by an inspired SER
mon by the pastor, using as his text
a part of Isaiah 12-: "The Lord Je-
hovah is my strength, my song, he
also has become my salvation"
The pastor, church officials and the
entire community wish to take this
opportunity to thank each and every
one who helped to make this service
possible through his work, presence,
contribution, and personal service.
May the all seeing eye, that seeth in
secret, reward each Of them openly.

Redfern Is Sought

GEORGETOWN, British Gui-

tion tending to bear out legends
that Paul Redfern, United States
aviator is still alive near the
Venezuelan border of British Gui-
ana today brought last minute
change in the plans of the Wal
deck expedition.
Instead of hunting for the
American, missing for ten years,
along the Brazilian border, the
party will plunge into the Venezu-
elan frontier jungles.
Redfern, according to the expe-
dition's latest word, crashed in
the Cuyuni River district, where
ne is supposedly living among
friendly Indians.
The Waldeck expedition, which
left here December II, is already
well on its way in TO the interior,
with 81 boat hands and expert
enced guides. They expect to
reach Cuyuni region within two
weeks. T. j. Waldeck heads the
party. He is accompanied by his
