The DAY THE sun WENT OUT
by Lowell Thomas

In THESE atomic times when so many people
IL are trembling about the ultimate dis
aster," find that there is a sort of steadying
strength in the following story:
1t was on May 10, 1880 during the anx-
ious days of our Revolutionary War - that
darkness came at noon. The bats flew and
chickens roasted. 1t was some sort of mete-
geological phenomenon that seemed to bring
the day to an end when the sun was at zenith.
Panic broke out, and people thought that the
end of the world was at hand.
At Hartford, Conn, the State Legislature
was in session and, when the darkness came
at noon, the meeting of the Lower House
broke up in alarm. In the State Senate,
motion of adjournment was made, so that the
legislators could meet the Day of Judgment
with whatever courage they could manage to
summon.
But the motion was opposed by Abraham
Davenport, Yankee Selectman and Judge,
friend and advisor of George Washington
Abraham Davenport faced the panic about
the End of the World with the best of Yankee
heart and head.
Evening star., 1950-10-15

He arose, and addressed his legislative
colleagues. I'm against this adjournment,
he said. Then he explained with logic of
courage:
The Day of Judgment, - he said, sis either
approaching or it is not. If it is not, there is
no cause for adjournment. If it is, l choose to
be found doing my duty. l wish, therefore,
that candles may be brought"
OF COURSE, this was not the only time that
people have beheld what seems to be the ulti-
mate disaster. In the past they have trembled
in the presence of such nightmares as the in
vasion of the Huns led by Attila the Scourge
of God or the rage of plaques like the Black
Death, or the predicted End of the World
in the year 1000.
But in all history it would be hard to find
better example fov our times than the sturdy
figure of Abraham Davenport. At time
when we are all haunted by doubts and ques-
tions about the possibility of atomic war and
trying to decide what course to take, he gives
us the only possible answer: Il choose to
be found doing my duty"

OLD SCHOOL TIES: British girl visitor
to New York was surprised and delighted by
the number of men who apparently have been
educated in England. At any rate. half the
men she's seen have worn diagonally striped
neckties whose colors and patterns. in Eng
land would instantly identify the wearers as
having attended Eton. Harrow or Rugby.
The other day she even saw fellow sporting
the unmistakable orange stripes of the exclu-
sve Middlesex Cricket Club. He was leaning
against building on Broadway, studying
racing FORM We hated to disillusion her by
explaining that American manufacturers have
no more compunctions about borrowing tie
pattern from Eton than about swiping
tartan plaid from the Clan MacGregor.

plee demobilization in such parlous times as these At the same time, it is questionable whether we can afford the expense of constituting ourselves giant minute ready to go to all-out the fighting and home fronts the instant war is declared" This phraseology appears in Associated Press dispatch reporting MT. Baruchs speech.
 It is not immediately clear how the noted financier and adviser to Presidents would achieve this state of readiness without frghtful expense expense which over period of years might so weaken us that we would be much easier for the Soviet to infltate and overwhem.
 MT. Baruch did make several very valid points. It took us two and half years to achieve maximum of industrial output in World War II. ct also took us quite while to get going in World War I) And in each case had forewarning of our peril. We can- not afford to be lesurely in precautions for possible World War II-it might be decided with frightening rapidity.
 So we'll agree with MT. Baruch that all possible plans should be made for immediate mobilization We'll agree with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhoewr that we probably have allowed some of defense arrange ments to dwindle below the danger point. But we cannot-we simple cannot-exst for long free and prosperous country try to maintain oursef as an armed camp indefinitely.
