bracing her husband, gave him

since 1t. Still left for Korea.

guards from stealing it.

back to $50 but is looking for

guards asked him "all kinds of
questions about the way Ameri-
cans live" and also accused him
of flying mission to lay the
groundwork for germ warfare.
The only reason they didn't
accuse him of germ warfare, he

The future inevitably includes in

infinitely "safe" The trend seems to
be abetted by teachers who assiduous-

It is those who fear progress who

| Republican administrations - ma.
tional and state-are still busy max.
in appointments. In the process they
are indulging in practice that raises
a question in my mind. Many boards
offices and departments in govern
ment have been set up on "revolv-
ing membership" basis. staggered
terms" l believe they call it, where
appointments expire different years,
leaving a so-called Bipartisan" men,
bership.
The reasoning behind this manner
of appointment has been that no
administration can become so en-
trenched that only the party in power
will have complete control. 1t is sup
posed to leave minority voice on the
different boards.
The draw back seems to be in the
fact that the program of an admin
istration is sometimes thwarted by
noisy minority-and at times held
back for a time because of a ma
jority control in the hands of the OPP
position.
However, regardless OF the virtues,
or lack of, of the setup, staggered
terms" are written into the statutory
provisions setting up such boards. In
many cases the present administration
has asked for designations of whole
boards and has appointed its own
members. Where designations have
not been Forthcoming they have
found other means of removing mem
bers whose terms have not yet expired.
Statutory provisions and practice
make this a controversial move, and
sets a precedent that could forever
emasculate the principle of "stag-
gered terms" of appointment among
policy-making boards in government.

The man child revels in love and at

they have little appreciation of their

the surface emotions carefully in hand

marvel even more at the wonders of

Snappy looking in his Navy Blues,
was my son when he boarded the
bus. His last act before he waved
goodbye was to offer all of us a small
cigar. With his white hat at jaunty
angle, cigar in his face, one foot
on the front seat and smile on his
face, he called, "See you next year"
All of his earlier qualms about go

BARGE SAXON WRECKED
NEAR GULL SHOAl
OCTOBER II, 1907

The annals of the Life-Saving
Service justify the assertion that
a considerable number of the ma
rine disasters recorded in the an
nual reports under the caption
"Loss of Life" would find other
classification did the imperiled
mariners but remain aboard ship
until the life-savers could bring
them to safety. The wreck of the
Saxon is a case in point.
The Saxon was originally a
steamer of 1,193 tons. She was
built in Philadelphia in 1862. In
1908 she was remodeled into a
barge of 555 tons. When she made
her last voyage she was valued at
$1,000, owned by the Atlantic
Coast Lumber Company, of New
York, but her port of registry was
Georgetown, South Carolina. On the
morning of October II, 1908, she
left her home port in tow of the
steamer Katahdin with a cargo of
lumber valued at $4,000 consigned
to Philadelphia. She carried a crew
of four-the master, Frank Pilong;
mate Fred Lund; one seaman "a
Negro), and cook. The names of
the seaman and cook could not be
ascertained.
On the afternoon of the 18th
when the two vessels were off Cape
Hatteras, they ran into rough wea-
Their, and after laboring in the seas
several hours parted their towllne,
the barge going ashore two and
one-half miles south of the Gull
Shoal Station on the coast of
North Carolina. The total property
loss was $4,000. Only one of the
four men on board, the mate
(Lund), reached shore alive.

after the parting of the hawser is
