I'll E P A S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD

Here it is the week before
Christmas, and / haven't mailed
my letter to Santa Claus. Perhaps
our paper will reach him before
it is too late (of course, he's a
subscriber), so I'll just write it
now.
Dear Santa Claus,
Several years ago, just five days
before Christmas, the stork
brought rush order to the Con-
ner home in Belhaven, and it seems
that | have been rushed just be-
fore Christmas ever since. l really
don't remember what you brought
ME that first year.. but you have
been good to me ever since so l
hope you will overlook the lateness
of my letter. This year l have a
very special request. After you
have finished packing my mink
coat or stole whichever one you
have handy, the television set, and
few other trinkets, please get
another great, big bag and fill it
with the following things: a big
box of gratitude for all the postal
employees who have handled the
Christmas mail so courteously and
efficiently; the hearts desire of
every clerk whose aching feet and
disposition have stood the brunt of
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1955-12-23

Christmas shopping; a new set of
nerves for each school teacher who
has COPIED with the bedlam of the
pre-holiday days; appreciation for
the Sunday School workers, who
by various means have tried to in
stall the true meaning of Christ
mas in their charges; gift certifi-
Gates calling for one day of I'M
disturbed rest for all the mothers
of the world; a note to all the
fathers, assuring them that all the
bills will be paid by you (you get
all the credit, anyhow; greetings
to all the boys in service and
others far away from home Il just
didn't get those cards written in
time, Santa). Last of all, right on
top of the pack, please put in
large bundles of comfort to leave
in all the homes where there is
sadness and loneliness this year.
Is that asking too much, Santa?
You see, l know that those are
things that money can't buy or l
would try to take care of it myself.
l know l can depend upon you, but
l was a little afraid that in the
rush of getting the children's toys
ready you might forget the adults,
and they need you too. They don't
believe in you? Don't be silly,
Santa, of course, they do. All this
grumbling and rushing doesn't
mean that they have forgotten you
or that they really don't like
Christmas. It's just that sometimes
values get confused. When you
come around on Christmas Eve,
though, you will find the true
spirit right there in their hearts.
1t has been a long time since l
was a little girl, Santa Claus; but
l haven't forgotten how happy you

The first and most important thing
is you = the driver. The courtesy,
care, and common sense you show
count more than anything else.
The second thing is the car itself.

| DIR. Einstein was one of those
| instrumental in getting President
Roosevelt to go ahead with the
Manhattan District project for
| the development of the atom
bomb.
Although it was his theories
that paved the way for the
release of atomic energy DR..
Einstein did not work on the
actual development of the
A-bomb and insisted later:
ST do not consider myself the
father of the release of atomic
energy"
He said he did not foresee
that it would be released in his
time. II believed only that it
was theoretically possible"
Credited Hahn
DR.. Einstein gave credit for
the practical application of his
theory to "the accidental dis
covery of the chain reaction by
Hahn in Berlin" Hahn, himself.
misinterpreted what he dis
covered, DR.. Einstein added, and
sit was Lise Neither, who pro-
vided the correct Interpretation
and escaped from Germany to
place the information in the
hands of Danish Physicist Niels
Bohr, who brought it to the
United States"
DR.. Einstein, along with many
other atomic scientists. felt a
keen responsibility to society for
the creation of the atom bomb.
He was sorely troubled by the
fact that atomic energy had
first been used for destructive
purposes.
But he was sure "the discovery
of nuclear chain reactions need
not bring about the destruction
of mankind any more than the
discovery of matches"

DR.. Einstein got into the mid
die of a major controversy in
1858 over the methods employed
by congressional committees in

vestigating communism in the
United States.
Refuse to Testify
He advised every intellectual
called before such a committee
to refuse to testify. He said he
would do the same if called.
He took this stand just a few
months after receiving the 81 ,000
annual Lord & Taylor Depart
ment Store Award in New York
for intellectual adventuring. /"
At that time, he had commented
facetiously that a congressional
committee might well check into
the dangers of conformist think
ing and the uncritical mind.
BY far his greatest honor was
the Nobel Prize in physics
awarded in 1921.
A $40 million Albert Einstein
College of Medicine was started
in 1858 as part of Yeshiva Col
lege in New York. And four years
before a $4,000 Einstein award
had been established by the In
stitue for Advanced Study to be
given every three years to a
scientist who has made an out
standing contribution to the
knowledge in the mathematical
of physical sciences"
1t was all tangible evidence of
the achievement of a man who
once gave as a guiding principle
to success the formula:
IF A is success in life, the
rule might be expressed: A equals
x plus Y plus z. X being work
and Y play and z keeping your
mouth shut"

is possible-the development OF

This rs Intolerable"
There may be men who can
live without political rights and
without opportunity of free in

"but I think this is intolerable
for most Americans"
In the United States, he
added, human dignity has been
developed to such a point that
it would be impossible for people
to endure life under a system in
which the individual is only a
slave of the state"
DR.. Einstein cast his first bal
lot at Princeton's Borough Hall
November 6, 1910. He joined the
New Jersey League of Independ-
ent Voters for Roosevelt in 1914

were misunderstood. But they
all provided further clues to the
human side of this great man.
1t took courage at times for
DR.. Einstein to continue his COM
ments in the face of personal
attacks by those who opposed
him.
Often Outspoken.
He spoke out against Nazis
and Fascists. espoused the cause
of Zionism and world govern

civil liberties an urged commuta-

tries. In his youth, he let his
German citizenship lapse while
he lived in Italy with his family.
AS a university student. he &C
quired Swiss citizenship, and
later he became a naturalized
citizen of the United States.
Germany conferred honorary
citizenship on it's famous son
when DR.. Einstein was appointed
a professor at the Prussian Acad-
envy of Science in Berlin in 1914.
But, with his usual concern over
politics, DR.. Einstein waited UNI
til Germany became a republic
in 1919 before he accepted this
honor.
When the Nazis came to pow
er, DR.. Einstein stood UP against
the persecution of his fellow
Jews and later renowned his
German citizenship. He said he
would not set foot in Germany
while Hitlerism prevailed.

clared IAN enemy Of. the state"
He became a voluntary exile
