TO-DAY we celebrate the 136th
l. birthday Of our immortal Abra-
ham Lincoln.
His deeds and kindnesses are now
enshrined in the hearts of men every
where.
He typifies the noble virtues Of a
vibrant and living democracy.
He was sublime statesman and
the preserver of a nation.
He was a symbol of our eountry'S
freedom and a martyr for humanity.
Expositor- of eternal truths, he
was the nations inspiration.
His life is recorded in history
and song.
He has been cast in bronze, sculp-
tured in marble, and painted on
canvas.
He knew no malice, no envy.
He was devoid Of pretense and
affectation.
He loved his fellow men.
An America redeemed and an
America reunited is his monument to
us and to posterity.
WHAT can we write of Lincoln?
w What can we write of the
mountains. or the seas, or the stars?
The mountain towers in solemn
majesty above the drifting clouds.
The mysterious seas ever sob
upon the shores.
The silent stars ever keep vigil
above a tired world.
But to the mountains and the
seas and the stars men turn in un-
wearied homage.
And thus with Lincoln.
He was the mountain in grandeur
Of soul
He was the sea in deep under
voice of sadness.
He was the star in steadfaSt
purity Of purpose and service.
And now his lofty spirit abides
forever.
GOD gave Lincoln to us.
VI During all the stages of his life
he was impregnated with the spirit
of human liberty.
He was man Of epic courage.
He was a great commoner of
mankind.
He was one Of the people.
His is the richest legacy Of our
century.
His is the common heritage Of all
races and creeds.
His is the living incarnation of
our form of government.
7 INCOLN envisioned a world un-
IL marred and unshackled
He willed to us duty to keep the
torch Of liberty ever aflame.
He was steadfast in his fidelity
to the principles of our nation.
Detroit evening times., 1945-02-13

IF LINCOLN could speak to US
L today, he would say:
care nothing for fufsOme tTib-
uteS. | am more interested in seeing
the American people turn away from
strange gods of false philosophy
which threaten the foundations of
the republic. and rededicate our
selves to honest and old-fashioned
AmericaniSm."
T INCOLN fed us with counsel
IL when we were in doubt; with in
spiration when We faltered; with
calm cheerfulness when our hearts
were heavy.
His ideals are challenged today
both in the east and in the west.
The rights of man were at issue
during his day.
The same issues are in mortal
conflict now.
T ET us have the faith of Lincoln.
IL Let us have the integrity Of a
Lincoln.
Let us have the vision of a
Lincoln.
Then we shall march forward in
the world Of tomorrow when peace
and brotherhood return to weary
hearts; when children sing again and
mothers smile and no land is op-
pressed; and when the world shall
know no more wars.
May God speed the day,

HIS EVERY HEARTBEAT T
WAS A DR. U NJ B + a 7 FOR
LIBERTY.
His every thought was the fortifi-
cation Of the American way of life.
His is symbolic of that character
which, in sunshine and in storm, in
peace and in war, in youth and IN
age, stands constant as the northern
star.
T INCOLN'S spirit hovers over our
IL land, secure in the loving wings
of Almighty God.
He is not here to lead Our present
struggle, yet as expressed by the
Apostle Paul, Being dead; he
speaketh."
1t is for us, the living, to give
voice and substance to his aspira-
tionS.
His words have not passed into
silence.
They still challenge us to mighty
action:
with firmncss in the right as
God gives us TO see the right LET us
strive to finish the work We are in,
He was speaking not only to his
immediate audience, but to Ameri-
cans Of all ages.

"Let us all pray that the God of
our fathers may not forsake us now.
"To him I commend you"
Permit me to ask With equal sin
cerity and faith you wiH inVoke His
wiSdon, and guidance for me"
Thus A braham Lincoln went
forth to fulfill the destiny which was
ordained for him, with the prayers
of those who knew him best and
loved him most to attend him, their
affection to comfort him and their
faith to make him strong,
MR.. LINCOLN was a kindly and
AVA gentle man
He was a considerate and COM
passionate man
He was sympathetic and for
giving man.
He had love for his country that
was above and beyond his concern
for his own health or his own security
or his own life.
But more than all else he was a
Cody man,
He believed in God, not as
simple matter of personal awareness
and acknowledgment but in accord.
anCe with a deep faith that God is a
supreme and living and eternal
power from which those who seek
strength may find it, the only condi-
tion being their worthinesS of it,
He believed his country was con,
ceived according to the design and
intention of God, and that it would
endure and prosper if it remained
true to the divine purpose-as it's
founders were, and as the American
people of his time were then chal-
lenged to be, and as all Americans
for all time must be.

THAT is why the life of Abraham
L Lincoln remains such an inspira-
tion to us now, and why his memory
will be revered as long as his country
sustains its faith in the source Of his
spiritual strength.
The anniversaries Of the birth of
Mr. Lincoln are among the hottest
Of all our days, sacred to the memory
of a man Of whom it was truly said
that "he is the best loved man that
ever trod this continent.
Let us observe this anniversary
of the birth of Abraham Lincoln in
earnest and reverent recognition of
that fact, and thus continue un.
broken the chain Of our holy days.

Eastern Point PTA

The Parent-Teacher Association of Eastern Point met last week and finally decided on the Puppet show that is to be presented for the ben- eft of their kiddies on the after noon of November 30th, at the Eastern Point School. MT. Rufus Rose, the E. B. Puppeteer was there and gave the mothers and teachers thrill by a preview pro- duction.
 Feeling ran high that it would certainly be timely with the shad- ow of coming events already mani- festing itself in Groton, to put on RIP VAN TWINKLE" who woke up twenty years TOO LATE and found that the WORLD HAD GONE ON WITHOUT HIM!

ans, some who HAD NOT BEEN OUT TO A MEETING in TWEN- TY YEARS and who USED TO SIT BACK and DIRECT the POLICIES of the BOROUGH in the ways THEY THOUGHT BEST for the minority (the mouied few), de- cided that they had better LEND THEIR AUGUST BODIES to the meeting, as they did not trust J. Ward and his associates to bring out enough VOTES TO DAMN the BEACH PROJECT for the CHILL DREN and the COMMON PEOPLE of GROTON!
 Nevertheless their presence did

not DETER THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GROTON from their belief that a public beach was essential to the well-being and welfare of the Borough children and the ben- efits derived from 1t would be long lasting!
 The OPPONENTS OF THE BEACH added the PENSION PLAN an dthe SEWER DISPOSAL PLAN to the BEACH QUESTION, after a motion was made to call a Spe- cial meeting to VOTE ON THE BEACH! These other two ques- tions were thrown in to confuse the issue and were placed before the beach on the agenda for the evening so that the voters by the time they voted on the Beach Plan would be little leary in spending any more money from the Bor- ough funds, no matter how neces- sary or advisable it was. The hope was that the selfish MINORITY thereby could keep the Mystic wa- ters of Eastern Point Uncontamin- ated by the COMMON PEOPLE of GROTON! However, there is noth- ing to prevent the friends of Jim Ward to continue to pay him a fabulous sum for the privilege of saying that they have CABANA down at ShennecosSett Beach!
 To overcome the LAST BILLING of Tyler Beach the non-partisans made a motion to vote on all three questions at once, but our Ex-Bur- gess John H. Hiding from the Ward Fold made an amendment to the motion to vote on the Pension Plan and the Sewer Disposal Plan and to treat the Beach as a sepa- rate question. Buck Coleman of the Non-Partisans was on the job and came forward with an amend ment to the amendment to vote on each question separately. This pleased the Non-Partisans very much as it upset the political strat- egy of the opposition and they had no further opportunity to pull an- other trick out of their bag-full. A public beach was won for Groton by the decisive IVES" vote of 300 to 1871 And now Groton- ties, COME NEXT SUMMER we can PARADE REALISTICALLY DOWN EASTERN POINT WAY with never a care for the DIRTY LOOKS we used to get as we walked or drove our jalopys down Shore Avenue, for now we own, or soon, a PIECE OF TABLED EASTERN POINT LAND!

Lend-Lease Substitute
Cincinnati Enquirer

~ Cincinnati Enqurer)
 That the United States does not plan to desert economically her wartime allies is apparent from the announcement of credit plan designed to take the place of end-lease agreements Those agreements President Truman terminated, as required by theh terms, when hostities ceased Certain nations, not ably Britain have objected to the abrupt termination saying that steady and continued flow of materials from America is necessary to the rehabilitation Europe.
 The Enquirer pointed out some gdays ago that while lend-lease had been boon to the Allied cause it. was instituted emergency military measure We went to state that America immediately should establish a system under which we can continue to supply nations which have been friendly to We pointed out that the more quickly they return to normal the sooner foreign markets will be open to United States industry and labor.
 According to his announcement, Foreign Eco- homie Administrator Leo T. Crowley five great ties have approved credit plan which will allow them 30 years to pay for current purchases. Russia, China, Belgium France and Holland are in the group Britains negotiators, en route to Washington have not yet had opportunity to study the terms. It is entirely probable however that they will accept them.
 The program is of benefit not only to our allies, but to American industry as well. It will allow continued production billions of dollars of old lendleaSe contracts which of necessity would be celed if no substitute for lend-lease be found It will, at the same time send steady and continued flow of vital supplies to lands where they des- perately needed. More important, perhaps, is the fact that such undertaking will strengthen foreign confidence in America will wipe out some of the ill feeling which termination of lend-lease may have aroused.
 We in this country must realize that foreign markets will be most important to postwar pros- perity. That those markets will boom in the inn mediate future goes without saying, for the demand is terrific But after the world returns semblance of its normal state then friendships will be most important economic factor The pleasant relation hence

 HEART AND HOME
 Women should be motivated by their heads instead of their hearts today when there may be deStruc- tive thinking owing to economic exi- gencies. The stars seem to presage readjustments that are fortunate for the majority of wives and mothers.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 There is sign read as warning of an inevitable period of financial difficulties in the distant future. De- spite mountains of national debt, however, the nation will escape fin ancial panic by wise Government policies and amazing income; ex- ports will swell and heavy taxes will continue.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Criticism of kindly treatment of our war prisoners and of our gener- oSity to our enemies will be wide spread. The seers declare that the realistic attitude of the Russians should be watched for lessons in just punishment, although we should err on the side of humaneness.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Industrial interests of many coun- tries, interlocking in web of great complexity, will be intensely active in the Autumn. Secret efforts to prevent losses of prewar investments will be tireless and Congress is to conduct sensational investigations.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of intense in- dustry which should be successful Children born on this day pro- bably will be brilliant and lovable Many will have talent for music.
