Let America be the dream the
~-1a.ners dream
Let it be the great strong land OF
love
Where never kings connive nor ty-
rants scheme
That great verse of Langston
Hughes holds the dreams and hopes
of all of us.
We are sometimes chary Of ex-
pressing ou- feeling cbc1. LII l~nd
of ours. We are afraid CT being
allied, sentimental, of Showing off,.
5ut, deep down in our hearts we love
America. We want it to be to the
world what it has been to so many,
the symbol of right, the torch of Ii
berty, land where hatred, oppres-
sion and cruelty have no place.
We have progressed far since the
founding of the Republic. We have
wiped out the sin of slavery as we
have wiped out the plague of chol-
era. We have-too slowly for some
of us-made great strides in seeing
to it that all citizens have equal
rights batore the law and equal OPP,
Nor.unlt-es Tor Observation-Disclosures.
We still have far to go before
America is the America Of our
dreams-but in us, its citizens, lies
the power to make Of this land the
Utopia which, God willing, VIC micah
It to me; TO assure to our children
and to their children's chi lren those
which can o-ly avcrue
20 a people who hold to the belief |
hat all men are created equal.
We are Americans all. Color or I
reed or class must be no 5arriers to
,ur brotherhood Our aristocracy J
must be one Of individu | not in :.
erited worth. All we ask is oppor
unity to work for ourselves, our
amily, our nation. We do not ask
or special privileges. We ask only
or the right to be American.
This is nation in which EACH may
ave a part, for it is a government of
he people, by the people, for the
eople. 1t is up to us to Go our
hare in bringing to pass the dream
the America to be. We u.u. Oh

OCEAN RACING
By Alfred F. LOOMS. Yacht.

REVIEWED Dy
LAMBORNE,


Alfred F. LOOMS, a name syn
onymous with the best in blue water
sailing, has lost little time since
leaving naval service In revising
and charging his 10-year- old ocean
Racing" Every yachtsman who made
the error, back in 1895, of not
ordering his copy early will want
to act now. And those whe are
fortunate enough to have the ear
ier book will welcome the latest
edition which brings up to date
the history Of ocean racing in small
boats. Readers will find herein
the best LOOMS style-accounts OF
the 1896 Bermuda -Cuxhayen race,
the 1887 and 1888 Fastnet races. the
1886, 1899 and 194l races from the
West Coast to Honolulu and the
1896, 1888 and last years Bermuda
classics.
Mr.. LOOMS has added a chapter
on the names of naval architects
who have designed the great and
near great ocean racers Of the past
b80 years. Since the first question
asked by sailormen when discuss
ing yachts is frequently who Is
the designer" the addition is well
come.

The GoUernor's Palace at WILLIAMSBURG, "
The Way of Life in Williamsburg
During the Colonial Heydoys

the way life went in Williamsburg
and the plantation around 1t in the
spring of 1855. More than 800 pages
are covered with balls. burials, ro-
mantle idylls, duels, lovers quarrels
and tavern sessions led by such hot
heads as Patrick Henry.
Although 1t is really Clemency's
story, the most colorful character Ia
a 14-year-old girl with womar's
wisdom, young Jenn Mandy. Be-
side her and her passion, the pink
and white Clemency pales. Another
cross current Is provided by Lady
Susan Mier, who comes to the Colo
MES with her husband In search
of her childhood sweetheart.
For a historical romance to be ef-
fective, the reader must feel that
for the period of time he is turning
the pages, he, himself. is living In
that bygone day. Most OF the time.
Mrs. Burt manages to achieve this
objective, although this reader must
confess to moments of impatience
with the indirections of conversation
that presumably were the order OF
the day back in 1866.

an automobile, he loved to take
motor trips. Each year we would &C
on three-week vacation trip which
Mr.. Edison planned In detail. We
always had two cars Of the same
make so we could take our friends
and the ehildrens friends to enjoy
the outings with us.
Although our son Charles Corner
New Jersey Gov. Charles Edi-
SOM was only in his mid-teens. Mr.
Edison would keep him driving
hours at a time because Charles was
careful to avoid the Bumps. Our
cars in those days Of motoring
around 1907, were White steamers
which always seemed to need more
water. Theodore, a number OF
years younger than Charles, con-
tributed his part to our trips by
fetching buckets of water from
handy brooks to keep the boiler
filled. Every member of the family,
in fact, had a task to perform.
An unusual thing about Mr.. Edi-
son was that he never tinkered, with
mechanical things, yet he had
marvelously delicate hands and was
most skillful in sketching out his ex-
periments. He drew very we'll.
He kept notes with a lead pencil.
Evenings, after dinner. he would
come up to this room, sit down at
his desk. and literally work out SO
or more things he was to do next
day. In the morning, he would take
his notes to the laboratory and ap-
portion the work among his assist
ants. Evening after evening he
would carry out this same proce-
dure. His fund of ideas was amazing
The stories about his getting so
little sleep are true. Sometimes, in
fact, he would work for So hours at
a stretch.
Many, many nights he would have
his dinner sent down to the labora-
tory and then work till the early
morning hours. He was never neg
lected, though, and not infrequent-
ly I would make sandwiches and
coffee at 2 o'clock in the morning

For out of the War Fund grew the
Community Chest Federation of the
National Capital Area.
The fall of 1941 saw the last sepa-
rate campaigns of the Community
Chest of Washington (Which then
included social agencies of Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Coun-
ties), of Arlington County and OF
Fairfax County. Then Washington
along with the entire Nation, be
came world conscious.
War needs were multiplying at
home and abroad. Leaders in the
Capital area say that the same stu
alton which had led to the creation
Of the Community Chest-separate
and competing campaigns, workers
called perpetually to give-would
develop again unless the campaigns
were unified This was done at a

knew nothing as yet.
It was in this very room at this
desk on my right that he thought
of and planned so many of his
extraordinary contributions to the
world. Yet, he never gave thought
to whether his work would bring
him fame or give his name lasting
place in history. He was like other
great men of genius who did what
they did because there was in them
some strange urge to do it. When
Mr.. Edison knew there was need
for something he simply took up
the problem and did what he could
to solve it..
Along with his unusual curiosity
he had the attribute of great con-
centration. Sometimes, it seems,
his deafness was q blessing. 1t was
never necessary for him to be alone
In a room when he worked. We
could all be near him in this room,
doing Just what we wanted to DO,
without disturbing him in the least.
Let no one think that Mr.. Edi-
sons work kept him from the
closeness of his family. When any
one of us asked him question,
even when busy at his desk, he
always answered. Many times he
would leave his work and enter into
the family's interests.
There were no trials; there were
no tribulations in being the wife OF
such a man. I can look back on
those wonderful years and see moth
ing In them but compensation.
Trip Into White Mountains
Brought Firm Friendship
To me, Mr.. Edison always re-
manned the same genial, lovely man
I first met at a friends dinner
while I was attending school in
Boston. I was studying piano at
the time and they asked me to
play. Reluctantly, because I was
not prepared, I agreed. thinking to
myself: 20, well, I'll never see Mr..
Edison again, anyway"
1t was the close of the school
term and I had been invited by
these friends to spend week at
their beach home. While was
there Mr.. Edison was an unex-
pected guest for part of the time.
He constantly entertained us with
his anecdotes.
Later, after T had returned home,
Mr.. Edison planned trip for these

Finding Adventure
ON q Mission to
'AFrozen Land
ESKIMO PARISH
By Paul O'Connor, S. J.
m e1-S

DfNCSs Sl1O./
| This is the fascinating story Of Q
Jesuit priests mission to the Eski-
mos.
1t probably was the bleakest par
ish in the world to which young
Father O'Connor felt himself
called-the tundra on the Lower
Yukon delta, where desolate little
settlements of Eskimos were scat
tered through the Arctic wilderness.
Zone of the unsolved mysteries of
life." he writes, is why people live
on the Alaska tundra at all. 1t is
one long, featureless expanse,
natural playground for roughneck
windstorms. In winter 1t Is veri-
table ocean of snow and Ice kept
deceptively smooth by unrestricted
gales. In summer it is a dreary
swamp, infested with billions OF
mosquitoes.
Father OConnor gives q vivid
account of his adventures among
these Eskimos, where he has had
to be priest, doctor and nurse,
bringing food and fuel, medicine
and spiritual comfort to the living
and the last sacraments to the dy-
ing. He few when he could, but
most of the time had to travel by
dogteam, and he needed his power
full physique. In the course of his
narrative. he gives a valuable pic
ture OF Eskimo life. The Eskimos,
he tells us, are a gentle people, all
most fanatically hospitable; taking
life as 1t comes, amazingly patient,
never afraid to die Despite their
hard life, they can be gay at their
festivals. They like music and this
doughty missioner has taught some
of them to sing hymns Justify.

However, Mr.. Edison and my friends
stopped at our summer home at
Chautauqua, N. T., and they made
the trip sound so attractive that
father at last consented to my going.
The trip was through the White
Mountains and during those six
weeks our friendship became more
intimate. 1t seems our romance oil
came about from that trip.
One evening, after spending the
day on top of Mount Washington,
we were sitting around the hotel in
the foothills. Mr.. Edison wrote
