1t was difficult to think of the gala
next door to the horrors and sufl'
clinging to her belief in her destiny
But that she does believe in it there
Is no doubt in ones mind after talk
ing to DR.. Bilmanis-and he is no
visionary, but very practical man
whose feet are firmly on the ground.
Denies Moscow Dictates
Policy Of Republic.
As rule, there is no use asking
q diplomat point-blank question
1t simply is not done-and it's not
diplomatic to do so. but one could
congratulate the Minister on the
22d anniversary of the independ-
ence Of the republic, which occurred
last November, and say that, not
withstanding certain rumors which
constantly crop up, he hoped
that the prosperity, progress and
peace of the country would be long
lived. This brought forth the. an
swer from the doctor that he would
like to make it clear that the rumors
that the foreign and domestic
policies Of Latvia were dictated from
Moscow, and that the Baltic nations,
have become, to all intents and pur-
poses, a part of the Soviet Russian
system, is incorrect. He stressed
that neither Latvia, Lithuania nor
Estonia have sacrificed their right
to govern themselves, nor sur
rendered their courage or their
resolution to hold fast to their VOWS
of statehood. DR.. Bilmanis empha-
sized that at the conference of the
foreign ministers of the three Bal
tic republics in Tallinn last Decem-
Der they decided to continue neu-
tral, the same as Sweden, Norway
and Denmark.
The Minister referred to the re-
forms created in Latvia after she
obtained her independence in 1918
and spoke of the thousands of new,
small, but independent land owners;
the prosperity of the people, the pro-
lection of labor, old-age pensions,
extensive health and educational
benefits, cooperative movements
among the farmers and consumers
and equal opportunity on the basis
of private enterprise. He empha-
sized the right of individual worship,
which is guaranteed; the support to
churches of all denominations is
granted; the national theater, ballet
and opera and the advancement in
art and letters.
Miniature Of st. Francis
Painted on Wood.
Then with a gesture signifying
that the serious conversation was at
an end, the Minister said, II have
something beautiful to show you" It
was a rarely beautiful miniature of
st. Francis painted on wood, which
DR.. Bilmanis believes, after careful
research and study of all references
and information at hand, to be an
original OF Greco. It will be recalled
that the saint of Assist figures In
something like 20 of his religious
paintings. The miniature or icon
for it was bought in a collection of
icons some time ago, is about 8x6
Inches, showing the head and face
IN the likeness of the artist, with
the beautiful hands showing the
stigmata and deep-set eyes seen in
many Of Ell Greco's sacred canvases.
On scull to the right of the minia-
ture-also familiar in the artists

heves Is the signature in Greek let

many of his canvases.

He Is naturally most deeply concerned over
the latest trend of affairs in Europe, but
when he says that he believes that democracy
finally will be triumphant In Europe, one is

He says these are not easy days for the
small nations Of Europe, and that the poll
cies of all neutral countries, large or small,
weak or powerful, are dictated today by the
exigencies Of the situation. by the paramount
desire to stay at peace and to protect their

great feeling when he said, exposed as they all

debacle that is again engul1ng Europe, they
are striving with whatever means each OF

FOUNDER WEEK
AT A &P STORES
George Harrington, Founder
of Modern Retail Method to
Be HOnOred ThruOut Nation
FIRST STORE OPENED 1859

The founder of the Great Allan
tic & Pacific Tea Company, George
Huntington Hartford, who created
the modern retiling method of di-
rect buying and straight-line, mass
distribution will be honored by all
A & p stores during Founders
Week, February 14-24, the COM
pany announced here today. Re
failing principles established by Mr..
Hartford when he opened the first
red-fronted A & P store in 1859,
company officials pointed out, are
used today by countless chain and
independent merchants as the
means of providing greater savings
to consumers. A young man from
Maine, Mr.. Hartford entered the
retailing field in New York City,
where he was impressed by the pre-
vailing high price of tea, A & P ex-
ecutives said. He believed that by
purchasing tea direct, eliminating
Smyrna times., 1940-02-15

the many handling charges and
mlddlemen's profits and RETAILING
through his own store, he couId
materially reduce the price from
the prevailing scale of dollar and
more per pound. Mr.. Hartford,s
first store, located on Vesey Street
in lower New York, offered its ems
toners striking savings on their
tea purchases, and was an inmed-
late success, the company officials
said. Apply the same principles of
direct buyig and quick turnover of
large volume at small profit, he
opened additional units and added
other groceries to his stock. Dur-
ing Founders Week, all A & p
stores will lay special emphasis on
tea, as their original stock in trade
and coffee, another early item Of
which the company is now the
worlds largest retailer, executives
of the food chain declared. Pur-
pose of the merchandising nro-
gram, they concluded, is to demon
strate how foods and beverages
that We're once luxuries have been
made inexpensive items in eyerv-
day diet, through modern, efficient
methods of food distribution.

| Townsend, Feb. Ia -Elwood For
aker owns a raccoon which has be-
come the family pet because of its
/ playful tactics. The coon was cap
tured by a trapper last year and
was soon domesticated to do all
kinds of tricks to the amusement
of the family and their friends. A
similar case of animal Smartness
was shown back in 1895 when the
/ telegraph operators at Ginn's Block
! decided on a coon as their mascot at
the block and the one they had
/ there was a general favorite with
trainmen and others calling for or
ders and such. 1t would often sit
on the table and watch with a keen
eye as to what the operators were
doing and even try to stop them
from their duties. The pet remain
ed there for several months.
At times we hear the statement
made that Townsend was once call
ed Lancaster. This is decidedly
wrong and has not the least ground
for such belief. In the early
days, the place had but few hous-
es, and got its present name in
recognition of the liberality of
Samuel Townsend who owned
large tract of land, including the
home farmland. The Delaware
Railroad was being laid and the
promoters desired the right of way
through the property of Mr.. Town
send. Mr.. Townsend gave them the
right of way across his wide area
of land and in appreciation they
called the new station along the
route, Townsend. A few years lat
wanted the name changed to Ian
caster. The fight was carried to
Dover where the judge, after look
ing into the plea decided that it
was right and proper to let the
name remain as Townsend. This
evidently settled the matter, al
though there were few disgruntled
ones to show how much they were
displeased by the decision of the
learned judge.
