1t called upon the citizens of the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts, to observe
April 10 as legal holiday, as it has been for
many years. We call it Patriots Day. 1t com.
memorates the men and events of April l9,
IT'S, when the first shots of the American
Revolution were fired at Lexington and Con-
cord - the shots heard round the world"
The day recalls heroic figures: Paul Revere,
Sam Adams, DR.. Warren, Hancock. Parker,
Dawes, all those Minute Men whose names
have faded into history. 1t recalls, too, those
other Americans who took the opposite view
of the stirring question of the day. Loyalists
they called themselves. and they thought Of
the Patriots only as Rebels. We have been
learning to understand those men better in
recent years. Kenneth Roberts S novel oliver
Wiswell" has given many of us new toler-
ance about them. We know, now, that they
were stalwart Americans They suffered -
even died for what they thought to be right.
But they were wrong They lacked faith
"a faith that has been proved over and
again through the years that have followed,
faith in democracy, in the average man.
They feared the 'rabble." They thought
ordinary men and women would not know
how to use Liberty, would sweep the country
to destruction.
As l was writing my proclamation, |
thought of one of those Loyalists - the
man who held the Office that now hold in
the trying years leading up to the Revolu-
ton. Thomas Hutchinson, Governor of
Massachusetts,, was an American, born and
bred High-minded, earnest and thoughtful,
he loved this land deeply and sincerely. But
like the other Loyalists, he was defeatist
about democracy
AND thought: Governor Hutchinson,
wish you could stand beside me on Patriots
Day, 194l, and see for yourself what democ-
racy has meant in this land you loved -
what ordinary men, free men, have wrought
with their hands, and their minds, and their
hearts.
Gaze with me, sir, out the State House
window. There you see Boston Common,
where COWS used to be pastured. 1t is now,
as you see, a great public park You will
remember, sir, the relocated soldiers who
were encamped upon it, and who fired upon
an angry mob "a mob of hotheaded rabble,
you thought, who should have known better
than to shout for Liberty, and back up their
words with deeds. But the people you now
see out there, hurrying about their business,
or relaxing under the great trees, are the heirs
of that rabble. They inherited not only the
Common. They inherited Liberty"
There would be so much to show that man
of 1775 throughout this Commonwealth and
all of these United States - 50 many evil
dences of the constructive genius and spirit
of free men i would hardly know where
to start can imagine. for instance, his eyes

A native of Leavenworth, Kansas,
Teddy was recruited into the Army in
November, 1897, by Technical Ser
geant Phillip Carroll. The six-weeks-
old puppy Immediately launched his
mil tary career with an eleven-hour
fight from Leavenworth to Hamilton
Field, California, and he's been flying
ever since. Alert and intelligent. he
never gets in the way of planes or crew,
and is always model of soldierly be-
havior.

military life. He's the only Major

the eloquent message on this page, is

self, pretty good example of our
American democracy. He is descend
ant of not only Sir Richard Saltonstall,
one of the Massachusetts, Bay Colony's
first leaders, and of John Leverett,
one of the Colony's first governors, but
also of Margery Sullivan, who came to
America some generations ago from
County Cork. Thanks to her, he has
attained one of his proudest recent
distinctions: membership in Boston's
Charitable Irish Society.
Incidentally, there was Leverett
Saltonstall in 1775 who was Loyalist,
but the Governors direct ancestor,
brother of the Loyalist, sided with the
Patriots.
MICHAEL FOSTER, who wrote THIS
WEEKS story Il Never Met an Ac-
tress," lives with his wife and two
children on a wooded island in Puget
Sound, where he divides his time be-
tween fishing and writing successful
novels and short stories. Of the two
occupations, he has this to say: Its
a temptation to spend more time
salmon fishing than at the typewriter
- and, anyway, a sea-run salmon is
much more splendid object than the
most glittering adjective ever dredged
up. More practical, too: the salmon
invariably contributes to the family
dinner table. the adjective occasionally
does!"

Winston Churchill was visiting
friends in the West End of London on
the afternoon of a recent broadcast.
He left rather late and stepped up to
cab stand, telling the driver to go to
the BIC studios.
You'll have to take another cab,
sir. can't 60 that far, the driver told
him.
The Prime Minister was rather sur
prised and asked the driver why he
was limited in the distance his cab
could travel.
"Mr. Churchill is broadcasting in an
hour and want to get home and tune
in"
This pleased Churchill and he pulled
out a pound note. The driver took one
look at the note and said:

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

II you visited Malta you would
find that many persons on the
island speak English. Not only
British soldiers and settlers, but also
some of the natives can do SO.
The Maltese learn English in
schools. They may speak Italian
as well. but in their homes they
are likely to use the language called
Maltese"
During my visit in Valetta, the
capital of Malta, I was interested
in the costumes of many of the
women. They wear 'faldettas," :"
and I never have seen garments of
just the same kind anywhere else in
the world.
A faldetta might be called a
"hood-cape' 1t is both a hood
and a cape, and it is made of black
cloth. The part which goes over
the head is broad and stiff. If a
woman wearing it wishes to keep
any one from seeing her face, she
can turn her head away.
Counting the suburbs. Valetta
has a population of about 10000.
While roaming about the streets
I saw at least dozen f1ocks of
goats. They were going along the
highway slowly and peacefully.
When a motor car came along the
driver had to "honk" many times
before he could pass by.
Evening star., 1941-01-15

The goats supply the people Of
Valetta with milk. They are MIXED
at the doorWays of customers
A Maltese goat supplies about
two quarts of milk a day. The
milk is used for drinking, but not
for cheese or butter. The milk Of
sheep, on the other hand, is en-
ployed to some extent in Malta for
making both butter and cheese.

.MuItese Milk Gouts at Doors

Among the churches Of Valetta
is one called the Church OF st.
John. 1t is shrine Of the Knights
of Malta, and has stood for more
than 300 years. In times of peace
the altar of this church is loaded
with articles of gold and silver, and
the "keys" of Jerusalem and Acre
are kept under it. We may suppose
that at this moment such treasures
have been placed in q deep vault,
as a guard against the danger of
bombing from airplanes.
Valetta's streets are for the most
part narrow. Stone houses and other
buildings rise from the sides. Some
Of the streets slope down hills at
a very sharp angle, and a person
can climb them only by walking
up stairway. If he is not careful
after a rain, he is all too likely to
slip on his way up or down.

our contributor, South winning
with the seven. Declarer promptly
cashed the spade ace and led another
spade, West winning with the spade
queen and returning another trump.
South won and led spade, ruffing
with dummyS heart ten, but East
overruffed with the jack (which he
had saved for just that purpose.
Thereafter, South ruffed his fourth
spade, but had to lose his fifth spade
and a diamond, going down one.
North observed, at that point,
that all the butchers aren't in the
meat business, but refused to say
how he thought the hand should
have been played. Was South act
ually at fault, or was he just un-
lucky?"
South was criminal, but he was
also unlucky. 1t was very untortu-
nate to find a five-one spade break,
particularly with East in position to
overruff the dummy. But South
need not have exposed himself to
this risk Correct play is TO lead a
diamond at the second trick. A
trump return can be won with
dummy'S ten. after which South
ruffs diamond. The jack of clubs is
entry for another diamond ruff, and
the king of clubs enables dummy to
draw Easts last trump. Declarer
thus makes four trumps, two ruffs,
three clubs and one spade-a total
of ten tricks. Two ruffS were needed
for the contract, and South should
have seen that ruffng the short
