Time to Think

This would enable those sub
jects, who really have to do the
fighting in wars, to also see
both sides of the problem; they
would thus have time to think
of the damage, and diseases re-
sulting from wars.
The leaders would be given
plenty cf publicity, use of all
free press of the world. Having
been held in the council for
quite a while, they would per-
haps cool off somewhat and
forget about war, until some
understanding could be reached.
There should be some medium
whereby the subjects Of both
the Invader" and the "Defen-
der" could express their opinion
in groups from the two nations,
and not as one body. In this
way more details would be
brought to the front, and the
questions could be better
threShed out.

ham what the Cabots and the
Lodges were to nearby Boston.

NOV I never saw the Avery
~ oak in Dedham. I am sure
that "W. ]. c." has-more than
once-and that the memory of
his visits adds to the sorrow he
feels over the great trees de-
struction. I would have liked to
have seen it, to have stood under
its great branches with the
ghosts of little children-from
the free school-flitting over the
common; that wouldn't require
a tremendous lot of fancy; nor
would the fitting shadows, re-
solving themselves into Puritan
men and women going about
their daily taSks-taskS which
have had more tremendous re-
suits than anything ever con-
ceived in the human mind.
The village of Dedham was
called "Contentment" at first.
Maybe the orneriness of the
neighboring Indians made the
fathers change the name; GER
tainly it could not have been,
1T first, the sort of safe retreat
that the original title implies.
But the giant oak must have

Difficult Task

AS it is, at the present, the
subjects voices are stifled, and
are led like sheep to the sword
and into battle, to murder and
be murdered.
I realize to carry out my sug-
gestions would be a very diff
cult task, but a difficult task
is never so bad as war.
A nation when in need should
ask her sisters for bread, rather
than invade some innocent peo-
Piles. 1t would be far better to
starve within ones own borders
than to invade and murder
others.

always conveyed q. feeling OF
security, down through the cen
turies and right up to till q
few days ago when the storm
felled it. The people Of Ded-
ham must have felt as though
something was torn right out
Of themselves.
THE Avery of one period in
l. American history loved the
tree so much that he refused to
sell it-although the purpose
was to build its strength and its
courage into the sides of the frig-
ate Constitution. He gave the
matter much thought and finally
put it up to the rest Of the
townsmen. They backed up his
original decision. They loved
the tree too well to sacrifice it
even for so noble a cause. And
so it stood-til the storm came.
I quote from "W. ]. C.'S" clip
ping-a New England editor
writing of this new and terrible
calamity that descended upon
himself and his neighborS:
when in the fresh sunlight
of the following day we saw the
rape of our historic trees, we
began to get through our tenn
perate climate consciousness the
idea that here, finally, we saw
one of the strange phenomena
we never believed could have
happened.
0NO ONE mind can grasp
~ what the strange invader
did to US. We are a settled peo-
pie. We have our accustomed
contests with the northeast
wind. It blows through our blood
and our traditions. On its wings
we came here and it will con-
tinue to blow over our long lain
ashes. We loved our treeS-the
trees under which our forefatherS
assembled. This new climate OF
1888 did more to destroy them
in its burst of fury than did
centuries of northeast storms"
The weather experts have said
that the hurricane was a freak
and is likely never to happen
again. But it smudged a filthy
finger across brave and beauti-
full history and nothing we can
do will ever remove the stain.
