PLAIN TALK
AUTOBIOCRAPHICAL
BY Alfred Segal

A lady in Boston who reads
this column in the Jewish Ad-
vocate" Of that city. asks me:
who are You?"
She says she just naturally
wants to know better person
who from week to week comes
into her house and attempts to
amuse and maybe, to instruct her
81 feel I shouldn't be enter
tanning total stranger in my liv-
ing room every week, though, of
course, I think / know you some
how, because of your frequent
visits.
But I really don't know you
any better than I do some Of the
other people who come to my
house: the letter carrier. the
cleaning woman. the man who
reads our electric meter monthly.
They are nice people but you are
the first of that category of visi-
tors of whom have asked any
personal questions.
Anyway, it is good that the
public generally should know all
about person who likes to give
opinions on this, that and the
other thing. So I am asking you
for some vital statistics:
How old are you? How did
you come to the function Of being
a columnist in the Jewish press?
What is your background? What
is your authority in journalism?
BY that I mean your experience
in journalism. And please give us
any other facts of your life that
you may consider pertinent to
your qualifications as columnist."
Well, Pm not telling my age to
any lady. If 1 told her how old
1 am, the Boston lady may come
to think that I am an old man
and no gentleman wants any lady
to think he's old. Anyhow, when
ever think of my age, I can't
believe it.
mo-" I say. III can't be true.
You can't be that old-You who
are practically, a boy"
Yet at such times 1 become
poignantly mindful of the fact
that my oldest son is almost "A
and that my oldest granddaugh-
ter Ellen, a widely known char
acter in this column, will be Is in
February. Then I say quite hum
bly,, "You, a young man though
you already are the father of
a middle-aged son and in some
seven years OF so your grand
daughter may be getting mar
ried."
So we'd better skip all that
and 90 on to other matters OF my
biography about which the lady
inquiries. I stem from an Ortho-
dox family and my father who is

of a Reform temple in those mo-
ments when his mind gets clear
again.
.sYou are good man, he says,
"and really could be proud OF
you if you were jew"

Seniors Donate
NelU PA System,

Responsible for tn, public address
system in Founders Hall are the
Bluffton college classes Of 1850 and
1852.
When the class of 1850 graduated,
it left a sum of money for the pur-
pose of purchasing PA equipment
for the new gym. The present
graduating class contributed suffi-
GENTLY to the sum that a Bell Sound
PA system could be purchased. The
system consists of 25 watt ampli-
fer and two loud speakers. Addi-
tional speakers will probably be add
ed in future years, although two are
sufficient for the present. The new
system was used for the first time
during commencement season last
weekend.

SPRINGFIELD, nj

SPRINGFIELD, I'LL have Wis
tied the Springfield home ol
Abraham Lincoln. It is a good
sized house with two stories, anc
must have seemed like a mansion
to the people of Springfield wher
Lincoln bought it 108 years ago.
What a change that house was
from the cabins of New Salem
AS we see it today, it is large
enough to hold half a dozen of New
Salem's log cabins.
The simple fact, as we may trace
it in the history of Lincoln's life
appears to be that the wife OF
Lincoln was the one who wanted
a big home. She had been Mary
Todd, a member of a well-to-do
family.
Mary Todd, or Mary Lincoln as
she was called after her marriage
wanted more than large house
She also had ambitions in the field
of politics. There is little, if any
doubt that she did much to push

her husband until he rose to the
highest Office in the land.
People may wonder how things
would have been If Lincoln had
made different marriage. If Ann
Rutledge had lived long enough
to marry Abe, he might have been
a happier man. but he probably
would have stayed out Of national
politics. We are told that Ann
wanted to spend her life on q
farm.
As it was, Lincoln ran for Con-
gress at the age Of 81 and was
elected. Later he worked hard at
the practice Of law. He was elected
President Of the United States at
the age Of 81.

There he Sorrowed about one of
the sad events of history. the
American Civil War. His time in
office was ended by the shot of
an assassin. 1t is agreed widely
that If he had lived longer, i,e
would have done much to bind the
wounds of war.
