Lexington. Concord Celebrations

Lexington.C Concord Celebrations
To the Editor of The Star:
One gathers the impression, from An item
published in The Star, that the Amvets, World
War II veterans organization, is inaugurating
on March n the celebration Of Paul Reveres
ride on April 10.
As q matter Of fact, the ride Of Paul Revere
has been celebrated for many years on that
and 4 second rider representing William
Dawes have started for Lexington from Bos-
ton. following the routes that the two patriot
messengers rode with their alarming news.
In addition, there always has been = cele-
bration In Lexington and another in Concord.
where the actual fighting was started The
present witness has taken part In these cele-
brations for many years more than 5o). In
1925, as the first Regular Army ofhcer ever
detailed as military aide de camp to q Vice
President accompanied him to the celebra-
tion Of the 150th anniversary Of the battle. He
rode over the route ridden by his great-srand-
father on the night Of April 49, TITS.
The Amvets, World War II, are to be con-
graduated for seeking to keep alive the history
Of the beginning of the Revolution. But they
should not try to take credit away from older
organizations that have been In the held for
many years and have done = very satisfactory
job.
Perhaps they should be reminded that the
Historic Lexington Common" where their
main celebration Is advertised to take place
saw little Of the fighting on that historic day
True, Capt. John Parker paraded his company
at the end Of the Common. admonished his
men: Don't fire unless fred upon, but If they
want war, let 1t begin here" and then saw his
men learn the harsh lesson that less than 50
men are not a match for more than 800
grenadiers and light infantry crack regular
troops. One scattered group Of shots, and the
fighting ut the Common was finished.

The American Negro, faces "a Sit

persecution and forms problem,
not easily solved, under the rule
and dictatorship, of non-christian
civilization. The presence of the
Negro, in these socalled United

about by incorrigaIble knaves, the
seepage of criminal Europe, who
hoped for economic gains, by an
asinine bartering in human flesh

takes no remuneration for his

During his travels, which
have taken him thousands OF

vicemen, Anderson has aided
arm and leg amputees, leg par
alysis or parapalegics, blind
and psychopathic cases. He
will demonstrate a grip to en-
able a one-armed boy to hit
a golf ball, another to aid in
handling a rod and reel, a spe-
cial crutch to allow a double
leg amputee to bowl, and 9TH

The vets will be shown how
to use the gadgets and will be
given opportunity to try them
out. In special cases, Ander-
son designs new attachments
for specific activities.

MAKE FINER CHINA

East Liverpool, Ohio - An
industrial revolution is under
way here in the heart of the
American dinnerware produc-

The factories that make

plates and countless other dim
ner table items are substitute
ing more and more machinery
to do jobs formerly done by
hand.
Much progress is due to the

nerware pieces in an hour.
Spraying machines now ap-
ply the glaze as the plate
moves along a conveyor belt.
Formerly this was accomplish
ed by Handspring the plate
into a solution.
Other machines decorate the
dinnerware. Semi automatic
edge-lining machines, for ex-
ample, apply gold and plati-
mum bands. Business is BOOM
ing.
Last year American potter
les turned out about S85 mil
lion (factory value) of vitreous
and semi-vitreous dinnerware.
That compares with about $45
million in 1871. These two
types comprise the made-from-
layc dinner table goods.
The 1911 total was 416 mil
lion pieces. Some people in the
industry place last years pro-
duction of vitreous and semi
vitreous at about a half bill
lion pieces; some say it was
higher.
In 1885 imports of house
hold earthenware (semi-vitre-
Gus china) totaled SIG million
pieces, equal to 21% of u. S.
production that year. And in
the same year $3.50 of the GA
million pieces of vitreous china
sold in this country came from
foreign kilns. Practically all
the hotel china sold in Ameri-
ca, however, was domestic
made.
Where did this foreign flood.
come from? Figures for the
following year, 1886, show
that about $40 by quantity
and $3.50 by dollar value came
from Japan. Runner-up was
the United Kingdom, which &C
counted for go by quantity
and 249o by dollar volume.
Foreign producers big ad-
vantage always has been their
lower wage scales. And that
advantage is still with the for
eigners, u. S. dinnerware MAX

A new worry for American
producers is a substantial low
ering of the tariff wall which
for many years has provided
some measure of protection.
