Our Human Relations
By G. H. GRAHAM
(The tUeLfth of a seqies)
SHIELDING FROM LIFE


There was a time in the history
of our country when training was
given to meet difficulties and mas
ter them. Now we are shielded on
every side if possible and children
reach maturity i'll prepared to
cope with the problems of life. 1t
is true that our change to city life
has placed us in an environment
where there is little for children to
do. Play and entertainment with
much time for school is the pro-
gram. To find any regular and use
full task may be difficult to find,
but it is very necessary for train
ing for every young person. There
are mothers who do all the tasks
of home and shield their daughters
from even the care of their own
rooms. A young man who has not
learned well some livelihood is not
prepared to meet the problems of
life. A gentleman in commenting
on the care mother gave that her
daughters never shared in the
home work, said, "These girls are
so helpless in a kitchen that they
do not even know how to boil
water!" This shielding may seem
very thoughtful but the truth is
that it will produce a real obstacle
in the pathway Of the recipient.

According to the very late
Bill Shakespeare, Il rose by
any other name would smell
as sweet. In any event, the
aspirations of several dozen
perspiring devotees of the
great national pastime, attest to
the fact shat a muscular ache by
any count would hurt the same.
At Rockville's Welsh Field the
Rockville All-Stars played the Red
Sox in a seven-inning practice ses-
sion. Both teams were taking it
easy and the only outstanding con-
tribution to an otherwise drab af-
fair was made by the league presi-
dent, Sam Dawson.
Umpiring from behind the pitch
er's stand, Sam took a nose dive
ducking< throw to the plate by
Pinhead Ray playing centerfield.
Sam executed beautiful slide on
the right side of his face and COL
lected black eye in the process.
Although no one had been desig-
mated to call the close plays in the
pitchers box, Bill Bouic, local at
torney, rose to the occasion. De-
spite the fact Bill was umpiring
only at first base, he decided to call
this one and did so by calling Sam
safe. At best it was an arbitrary
and controversial decision, but
since it was merely a practice game
no one offered serious objection. At
this juncture both Bouic and Daw-
son retired from the arena and the
officiating was taken over by
George Thomas "Pee-Wee" Corn
well.
Space on the bench of the crowd
ed Rockville dugout was made
available for Bouic, Dawson and
two other people, when Sammy
Keys, Business Manager for the
All-Stars, got up and moved to the
third base coaching box. Sammy
has been disguised all spring be-
cause there was not enough money
in the team treasury to finance a
trip to the deep South for pre-
season training.
