Selected Poem
THE COCKLEsHELL

Robert Clairmont in the New York Times.
Philip sat upon a shore
And gazed upon the bluest sea,
And thought upon cockleshell
And wondered where the shell could be.
Il have it locked within my heart"
The ocean answered mournfully.
Seaweeds and skeletons,
Sticks and stones and fishes in
All the things the tide brought in
Were held in time in Philips hand
1.-THE cockleshen is hidden here"
Said Philip, digging in the sand.
The reason why the sea-bird sings
Is because: do you suppose
The reason why the sea-bird sings
Is because the sea-bird knows
That the seaweed sometimes is
Lovely as the summer rose?
And don't you think that 1t is time,
Time this aged ocean brought
Something for us all to read,
A poem, or deep-sea thought,
Written on cockleShell,
A cockleshell the deeps have wrought.

AYOTTE MISINTERPRETS LET

Editor The Democrat:
This letter is directed to Mr.
George Ayotte, president of the Cit
liens Study Club, pertaining to his
remarks inserted in his letter dated
September %, 1889.
My Dear Mr.. Ayotte, 1t seems to
me you have misinterpreted my let
ter considerably concerning your
open letter to Congressman j. Jo-
seph Smith and the Cash and Car
ry plan. The only reasonable con-
clusion you have come to was your
descriptive formula of my nasty
reference" to Father Coughlin. I am
very sorry, Mr.. Ayotts, sorry because
I hurt your feelings and not bit
sorry for my remarks concerning the

Silver Dollar" I realized the mo-
ment wrote my previous letter !

sarcasm and ferocity. have had
arguments with Coughlinites con-
corning many disputable topics and
every argument ended the same way
-ferociously and with questionable
conclusions. was told many times
Father Coughlin is wonderful,
character and that should heed
him. so that may inherit his fine
qualities of man. don't want to in
herit his fine qualities. I don't want
to inherit the qualities of any man
who has successfully divided the real
principles of the Catholic Church.
A man who has created hatred
throughout the United States
amongst people who at this time
should be unified, one for all, all for
one. I can't go into specific details
concerning him. 1t would take up
more space than the subject Is
worth. I am deeply convinced that
you, and many other of Coughlin's
ward leaders," are obedient to q
blind faith, regardless of thought or
fact, regardless of right or wrong. I
don't know of any way to open your
mind to consider a fact. Your con-
illusions are questionable and your
facts are without foundation. It
seems to me you are depending upon
the horrors of the last World War
to gain the sympathies of the people
in which you hope to crush the Cash
and Carry plan. ! hold no grudge
against you, Mr.. Ayotte, 1t is your
privilege to petition your congress-
men as an individual or as the head
of a group. do not criticise you for
petitioning your congressman as the
president of the Citizens Study
Club, but do say this. Please do
not speak for the entire fifth dis
trict. I realize you have many fol-

harshly of the magazine as he did
of me. never before realized that
the reaction of Coughlinites toward
facts worth mentioning, would result
in cussing and violent behavior. I
thought you were a bit different,
Mr.. Ayotte, but you have a tinge of
the same sarcasm that Coughlinites
inherit. True, you didn't cuss, but
you did show sign of a weakness.
want to quote part of your let
ter. II like your letter first rate, but
your nasty reference to Father
Coughlin lowered you in my estima-
ton 100 percent" I want to thank
you for your build-up and thank
you great deal more for your

Is your weakness. If your estimation
of me was worth considering,
would be deeply touched. Since am
acquainted with such remarks from
Coughlinites, I want you to know I
relish the fact that knock from a
Coughlinite Is a boost towards gen.
uine Christianity. I am resolved TO
believe anyone who attacks Father
Coughlin on a basis of true facts,
whether they be Protestant, Catho-
lie or Jew. am resolved to have
faith in my President and Congress
and stronger faith in the teach
ings of Jesus Christ. I never did
think much of a man who had to-
have his mind made up for him and
I never thought much of anyone
who would resort to cussing when
defeated in argument. Many months
ago ! had an argument with a
Coughlinite concerning the late
Charles Schwab, chairman of the
board Of Bethlehem Steel Corpora
ton. We argued. This Coughlinite
insinuated Mr.. Schwab was Jew
1t wasn't disgrace but its meaning
was meant for purpose known as
Anti-Semetic. Not until the day
his death became known had ! dis
covered the fact that Charles
Schwab was Staunch Catholic. A.
solemn requiem mass was celebrated.
1t was also stated that he had built
a church in Loretto, Pa, and that
he had sister who is a member OF
the Carmelite order of Nuns I spoke.
Of this because I want to give the
people true picture of what a man
is up against when arguing with
Coughlinite. ! know Coughlinites
aren't all cursed with insinuations
such as the one mentioned above
but ! believe Father Coughlin should,
lecture on brotherly love. Father
Coughlin may be wonderful char
acter but his followers haven
proved 1t and they are the person
who should set an example.

CAEOT'S QUANDRY
Illustrative of the uncertainty
gripping numerous senators on the
embargo Issue is the remarkable
performance of Massachusetts
handsome young Senator Henry
Cabot Ledge.
Two years ago, when the neu-
trality act was being debated, he
voted against both cash-and-carry
and an arms embargo. But when
Roosevelt issued his call for the
special session, Mike Hennessey,
ace political reporter of The Bos-
ton Herald and an old friend both
of Lodge and his famous grand
father, called on young Lodge and
got an interview announcing his
opposition to lifting the embargo.
The story was printed in The
Herald under Mixes byline.
Whereupon Ledge next day issued
a statement to another paper
denying the first statement and
declaring in favor of cash-and-
carry.
Not satisfied with three
switches, the young senator
turned up on the first day of
Congress at the strategy meeting

PLANTING FOREST TREES

Many forest plantations fail be-
cause the trees are planted at the
wrong time in the year, according
to C. F. Winslow, specialist in
Forestry for the University of
Maryland Extension Service. He
says that for most species of for
est trees the best time for plant
ing is in the spring, just before
the buds start to burst. This
usually runs from March / on the
lower Eastern Shore to April / for
the Western part of the State, al
though this year, because of the
colder weather, planting may take
place a little later. The planting
season for the State usually lasts
about one month.

Barnabas and Paul had been set
apart by the Holy Spirit and by the
Church for missionary work. and On
their first journey had reached Anti
och in Pisidia. In the synagogue On
the Sabbath day they were asked to
speak to the people. Paul arose In
holy boldness and called upon them
to hearken to him. What is the i'm
portant message which gives this
preacher such assurance? The res
direction of Jesus Christ. It is true
that the sermon he gives presents
much other information as it log
ically and tactfully leads up to its
high point, but that point is the
resurrection and the redemption
which it assures.
