OXFORD CLAIMS OLDEST
UNITED STATES OFFICIAL

Miss Molle Stewart had the time
of her life as Maryland's official dele
gate to the annual convention of the
National Association of Postmasters
at st. Paul, MINI.
The oldest postmaster in the United
States in point of service having
headed the post office at Oxford, for
sixty-one yeaers Miss Mollie naturally
has been a center of attention at the
meeting there.
One day her "boss", James A. Far
ley, Postmaster General, made a
point Of looking her up and talking
to her at length about her record. The
association presented her with an en-
graved plaque and she sat at the
speakers table at the annual banquet.
Another highlight in her 81 years
of life came when she was taken on
half-hour flight in an airliner. Miss
Mollie, who made her first flight ten
years ago, didn't want to come down.
AS a matter of fact, she wanted to
fly from Baltimore to the convention,
but was persuaded to take train.
Although she has failed in her aim
of bringing next years convention to
Baltimore-itw will go to Washington
she has been an active member of the
resolutions committee. She returned
to Baltimore Sunday.

case which was made in the Manual
Arts Department. We have been told
this bookcase is to be filled with new
books in the near future.
We are glad to see Betty Ann
Shockley at school again. Betty AIMS
absence last week was due to illness.
THE HORNBOOK
Did you ever hear of a hornbook :?
1t really wasn't book at all. 1t was
a thin board with a printed sheet of
paper fastened to it. Over the sheet
of paper was placed sheet of trans
parent horn. This was done so that
the page would not get soiled and
torn. The board had handle. Some
times a careful mother would put a
string through hole in the handle.
Then the child would wear it around
his neck. Imagine wearing book to
school!
THE NEW ENGLAND PRIMER
The New England Primer was first
printed in 1858. 1t was about the
size of a post card. It used curious
material to teach little children to
read. A page from the primer show
ed the letters of the alphabet. Be-
side each letter was a little verse.
For instance, A In Adams Fall, We
Sinned All. B. Thy life to mend, This
bood attend.
1t did not contain pretty pictures
or interesting stories as our books do
today.

Ha! Ha. Say the Salmon
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The Columbia River salmon are smarter than some of their friends gave them credit for being. When the 170-foot Bonneville Dam projected, a cry went up that it would kill the salmon industry. matched far upstream drift down with the current, go to grow into fine big 10 to 60 pounders then swim back up the Columbia to spawn and die almost the spot where they started. Self-appointed salmon friends who in many instances turned out to be critics of the New Deal power policy asserted that the salmon would never learn to use the fish-ladders with which the engineers planned to equip the gigantic dam. They declared that Oregon's 10O00000 salmon indus try would be ruined.
 The ladders stairways one-foot waterfalls separated by pools sixteen feet wide The fish to jump the little waterfall, swim the pool and jump again the conditions being aimed to simulate natural rapid.
 They could do it. asserted the salmon spokesmen But this spring the salmon have given fishy ha-ha to their worrying friends. When the spawning started in early May the run began usual Up the ladders hopped the salmon. They knew where they going and they their way.
 Still to be tested the gates devised to let the young salmon down But even if some of the finger ngs should fail to read the exit signs in time the engineers assert that they pass unharmed through the relatively slow moving turbines
 The conclusion from this demonstration of psca- toral adapabiity is that the Columbia River salmon are smarter and less anti-New Deal than some the bank expected

ALASKA COMMUNICATIONS
 ADVANCE

Alaska is going forward in it's development of communication and transportation great deal faster than many of us realize. Further evidence of it is found in the announcement made yesterday by Mete- oroogst Howard J. Thompson of the Weather Bureau that r new airway weather stations being estab lished this summer in the Territory They will be known part time stations In other words some local resident of the communities where the stations will be setup will be engaged to take readings and clear them at regular intervals to the major weather stations where they be reayed to the fliers as well as used in the compiling of data and forecasts for the respective regions.
 Tn connection with these stations, the Alaska Aeronautics and Communications Commission already has put in several radio stations for the express pur- pose of aiding aerial navigation Major ones will be at Fairbanks and Anchorage and smaller ones will soon be operating from the Southeast to the Arctic snorth.
 These developments which We are seeing and hearing about almost daily the direct result of the creation of the Aeronautics and Communca- lions Commission by the last Legislature and its e- a forts since that time working in cooperation with Federal agencies here and in the national capital Definitely those efforts getting results Alaska to be abreast of continental United States, but we rapidly are forging ahead. We seeing march of progress in transportation and communication in the Territory right which hasn't been equalled in its h.e or.

made in safety precautions bringing himself progress with the maximum of comfort.
 Not since the turn of the century has train wreck of such proportions startled the country. One in Paris couple of years ago took a death toll of more than a hundred, but America has been spared such disaster in recent years. When those Casey Jones of another day roared over the rails with equipment not yet perfected there were many bad wrecks But mechanical science has advanced pace since then The railroad record for safety in recent years at the time in which it has been emphasiz ing speed is one virtually free from major accident
 The terrible wreck in Montana is not due to the shortcomings of man, but rather to the in significance of the efforts of in his continual contest with nature It is such tragedies this one which makes us realize what tiny mites of creation we are in the major scheme of things

A Gentle Hint
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 MT Sumner Welles, Undersecretary of State, has tried to make up for series of speeches which Signor Mussolini and Herr Hitler did not like by warning Americans to avoid criticism of other nations internal policies. Apparently it MT Welles hope that he could assuage the bitterness of the German and Italian press toward the United States, and at the time persuade Americans at least to temper their comments on Nazism and Fascism as they function in their bailiwicks
 But if Americans officials and others have no right to voice criticism of Mussolns domestic policies what right has MT Wees to tell any American what he should should not say publicly? Tn suggesting that mind our own business, MT Welles quite steps the limit by interfering with ours Actually it will not matter much for anyone who has strong feelings anent the policies of the dicators will not be intimdated by American Undersecretary of State.
 distinction be made however between American officials and others Federal officers have a definite obligation not to make public comments on the domestic policies of friendly governments when those comments would embitter our foreign re- ations. State and local officials partake of this re- sponsbility in although the obligation on them is moral one and not legal limitation But if MT Welles suggesting to the remainder of us private citizens all, that too ought to respect the sensitive feelings of the Fascist dctators he was surely talking in a deep cistern where none could possibly hear him.
