Montgomery SideIights
By ELSIE WHITE HAINEs

Rummaging around last week in
sort of pre-housecleaning mood l
ran across a box of clippings =
many of which were contributed
from time to time by the late Mrs.
j. Frank Wilson, mother of Mrs.
Dexter Bullard. Mrs. Wilson near
ly always had a "piece" to read at
club meetings in response to roll
call. Some were current events,
some humorous, some just good
thoughts. Often she would reach
over and say "take this - maybe
you can use this in the Sentinel
some time"
The auction sales advertised for
this month, make this timely:
HILLTOP AUCTION
There's nothing like an auction
To bring the townsfolk out,
Just to hear the auctioneer,
To see old friends from far and
near
And learn the latest gossip
l haven't any doubt.
How spirited the bidding goes
On Uncle Abner's bed.
And there goes Grandma's soup
tureen;
Who got the patchwork spread?
It's jVst a country auction;
/ hope l find one soon
You'll hear some tirst-class bid
ding.
(The lunch is served at noon.)

president, called the meeting to
order and had the Agent give the
rug lesson. This club has its busi-
ness meeting after the Agent
leaves and the luncheon is over.
The club plans to buy a strip
cutting machine because so many
members have shown interest in
hooking rugs and this gadget
speeds up the preparation of the
strips of wool, so it is a valuable
time saver to anyone who is really
going to hook rugs over the years.

the Agent met Mrs. Howard Smith,
president of the Homemakers'
Council, and Mrs. Harvey Selby,
who accompanied her to German

tory Gardener we have heard of.
Troubled by neighbors' chickens
forever scratching up his seed, Mr..
Gott took few kernels of corn;
drilled a small hole in each. Then
he passed a length of string
through each hole, attached a
printed card to each string, spread
the kernels enticingly around his

Next day Mr.. Colts neighbor
was amazed to find all his chickens
with little notes hanging by strings
from their bills. The notes said:

To bend his will to mine, try to shape him through

Of thought. Naturally flower he must unfold
Yet flowers have the discipline of wind and rain,
And though l know it gives the gardener much pain,
I've him use his pruning shears to gain
More strength and beauty for blossoms bright.
And he would do whatever he thought right
To his flowers from deadening blight.

ABOUT COMPLAINING

ABOUT COMPLAINING
Some don't get nothin' from Life,
But when their whines begin,
We often can remind them
That they don't put nothin' in.
'Taint what we have, but what we
give;
'Taint whom we are, but how we
live;
'Taint what we do, but how we
do it
That makes this life worth goin'
through it.
"Elsie," here's something cut
out of Peter Carter's column for
you," said Mrs. Wilson one day.
KEEP CALM
Remain calm and complacent
while others (and they do it with
most kindly intentions) tell you
exactly how to write a sparkling,
Knockout column that will practi-
cally leave every one of the read
ers in a complete dither, and then
find out when you ask them to give
you a typewriter copy to follow
that they suddenly recall a tea en-
gagement, a dinner-or something,
but will definitely return with full
instructions next Tuesday. They
never do.
l love parsley and always eat all
on my plate and that of my neigh
bors, too, if they do not want it.
One day Mrs. Wilson, who did not
particularly care for parsley,
handed me the following, at
League of Women Voters lunch
con:
SPRIG FEVER
Parsley, parsley everywhere
On my daily bill of fare.
See that kippered herring staring
At the silly sprig he's wearing.
Be it steak or creamed potatoes,
Oyster plant or grilled tomatoes,
Squash or scrambled eggs or cod,
Each must wear it's little wad.
Each must huddle underneath
Its accursed parsley wreath.
Parsley, parsley everywhere.
Damn! want my victuals bare!
One day after Mrs. Wilson had
heard me complaining of the old
house we live in and wishing for a
new one, l received the following
in the mail:
NO PLACE LIKE HOME
It may be a mansion, it may be a
dump.
1t may be a farm with an old
broken pump.
1t may be a palace; it may be a
fiat.
1t may be a room where you just
hang your hat.
1t may be exclusive or simple or
swell.
1t may have grand fixings like cur
tains as well.
Just kindly remember, wherever
you roam,
That old song is right-there's no
place like home.
Here's a good one for country
villagers to read and heed:

 The subject of Federal vs State regulation is broad and important. It need not be discussed outside the facts.

This is curious commentary on one of the best managed reg ulatory offices in the United States, the insurance departments of the State of New York. Headed for many years by Louis H. Pink, who at present is President of Associated Hospital Service, and now by Rob- ert E. Dineen, its reputation among students of government regulation is without compare for probity and competence. AS matter of fact, the only criticism have heard of that office is that it regulates too tightly
 In this colloquy between Robert Allen and Tex McCrary, there was some unfavorable reference to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Con- pany, which interested me. The Metropolitan is the largest life in- surance company in the world and l therefore is suitable target for attack. So I inquired about how it is examined These are the facts: The Insurance Department of the State of New York has personnel of $50, exclusive of the Liquidation Bureau. The Metropolitan is ex-
 amined once every three years. Be- ! cause of the size and character of its operations, it takes about IA
 months to do the job. Thirty-fivc examiners, all Civil Service employ ees, are engaged in this examina- ton, going through every account of the company. In addition, !. two actuaries of the Department devote themselves to it. The final report is a public document, avail able to anyone.
 The cost to the public and the
 company of these investigations is considerable Costs, however, no
 longer count in a country which
 throws millions to the wind and ;now talks about an unbalanced bud-
 get as a policy of state. With re-
 ports of this nature always avail fable, why duplicate the job simply
 because the Federal Government
 wants to be in everything?
 I am told that New Jersey, Con- .necticut, Massachusetts, Michigan and California have similarly com petent examining bureaus. Aliens
 broad statement that q. the only
 industry in the country of that magnitude that is absolutely un- regulated lis the insurance in- dustry, is just not so.
 l Then MT. Allen speaks of Robert ,Dineen, the New York State Super | intendent of Insurance, in these terms:
 ". Now, New York State has an insurance commissioner, 2 gentleman, a very estimable gentle man, who came from an insurance
 company. MT. Dewey brought hin 1 from an insurance company, ano when MT. Dewey steps out of of l flee, why, then this gentleman

GEORGE E. .soKoLsKY
GOING AFTER INSURANCE

The mania in Washington to regulate, control, manage everything in the United States is perhaps reflex of the rise of Socialism throughout the world. The imitation is not due to any serious compar- isons between, say, the United Stat es which is solvent and prosperous and Great Britain which is bank rupt and dependent, but rather to trend of the times.
 For instance, in a radio colloquy between Robert s. Allen and Tex McCrary, Allen said:
 C.. Why did the insurance com- panies fight regulation or fight that Congressional investigation? If they are so pure and everything is so hotsy- -totsy, well, then, why not have the Government investi- gate it? It will all be to your cred it."
 Of course, he does not say that insurance companies, particularly in the state regulates it. How? By the the State of New York, concerning which he lodges his principal com- plaint, are constantly being in- vestigated. In fact, he says just the opposite:
 ". If you are the Metropoli- tan or any other giant insurance company, you are totally unregu- lated. Now they will say, oh, well, the states regulate us.' Yeah, sure, companies regulating the regulat- orS.
