 The Goldduster's Homemakers' club held their March meeting at the home of Mrs. Marian Per singer. The evening was spent in discussion of ways and means to successfully build up our trea- -sury in some original manner to support the many programs we'd like to. A well planned schedule by the Extension Office is fol- lowed in our monthly meetings but because the majority of the members have pre-school chil- dren we are unable to take ad- vantage of the work shops and crafts offered mostly during the day.
 It was unanimously decided to hold an extra craft meeting the last Thursday of each month at the home of Mrs. Faith Krause. Mrs, Winnie Martin was our first .guest instructor on March 24 and taught us the fundamentals of braiding wove rugs. All of us were inspired after seeing her beautifully designed rugs. Our next guest will be announced at our regular meeting on April B. to be held at Mrs. Betty Crow thers' home.

Dangerous Walking Habits Hit
By AAA School Safety Poster

More than fourth of
all children run down by au-
tomobiles stepped into the
street from between parked
cars, Richard w. Hoover, Pub
lie Relations and Safety Di-
rector of Triple-A's Massachu-
sets division said today, an
fnouncing that October's AAA
School Safety Poster carries
a message warning against
this dangerous practice.
The poster is being display
ed in hundreds of claSsrooms
throughout Metropolitan Bos-
ton all during this month, and
the American Automobile AS
ISOLATION is also asking par
ents to impress upon their
children how dangerous it is
to step off the curb unless
there is unobstructed visibility
in both directions.
The original design for this
poster was Robert Wong, San
Francisco High School student,
who won first prize in the
High School Division of Tri-
pleas National Traffic Safety
Foster Contest last spring.
His poster was reproduced and
distributed to schools all over
the country upon the recon-
Imendations of educators, ar
lists, and safety specialists.
Emphasizing the Importance
of getting the Keep From

sage across TO children, Hoov-
er said that go percent of all
children in the { to IA age

time to stop even if he is only

Has Pity For Witches

Dear Editor:
Having spent the past tour
lst season as a lecturer and
GhoSt-Sitter" at Salem's Old
Witch Jail and Dungeon
as an unhappy goaIer of New
England'S number one bastil-
lie OF infancy, I read Daniel
OConnells remarkable essay
on Witchcraft with mounting
interest and horror.
While many of our distin-
guiShed, local historians will
disagree when he presumes
that the Witches were burned
and not hanged the ter
rible fact always remains /.
twenty innocent Salemites
were put to death in 1892.
Hundreds more were rounded
up in one of the worst witch
hunts on this side of the
Atlantic, falsely accused of
practicing black voodooism
from the West Indies.
Despite minor technicaIities
and slight difference of our
Interpretation of witchcraft
history I am very strongly
In sympathy with Mr.. O'Con-
nell's proposal and suggestion
that steps be taken to liberate
the twenty Salem innocents
from their legal limbo
as, according to Danvers'
learned historian, it is never
too late to rescue the twenty
victims from their Potter's field
of Status Quo.
During the past quarter
century too many of our local
historians have failed to give
the serious student, and parti-
cularly tourists, a clear and
straight forward presentation
OF what really happened here
in that sad time. I have MOTTO
ed that there has been a
tendency among some of the
most outSpoken, articulate
antiquarians to sigh and low
er their scholarly heads in
shame whenever they touched
upon this critical, touchy sub
ject a thing for which,
unfortunately, Salem is pri-
marilly noted throughout the
civilized world.
AS Mr.. O'Connell pointed out
Sc authoritativly in his pep
perry essay in last Sundays Er-
press, Salem and it's inhabit-
ants should not be made to
feel ashamed nor blamed for
that terrible holocaust . it
was purely an imported, high
ly SubVersiYe plague i
spawned and incubated by
British rule at Boston. Salem
ties were the innocent COAST
for that particular occasion of
mass condemnation and
slaughter. Legally and moral
ly they have remained so, and
for exactly two hundred and
sixty three years.
O'ConnelPs suggestion,
through the media of the
Salem Sunday Express, that
the City of Salem, on behalf
of its inhabitants past and
present, file with the Mass
achusetts Legislature a Re-
solve memorializing the
government of the United
States to take such action as
may be necessary to liberate,
and fully exonerate the Witch
es. and this City from an I'M
just, Historic He'll is in
deed a worthy item for the
Salem City Councils forth
coming agenda.

may not be bad one. Look

Pipe Smoking
Girl Fired as
Plane Spotter

Our cold war with Russia
has apparently developed q
new technique in setting up a
national defense against an
attack. Don't expose your tar
get by the smell Of smoke.
Tightening of our defense
weaknesses was revealed in
rather a humorous tone re-
Gently when a female plane
spotter was removed from her
voluntary work in tie Ground
Observance Corps because
she smokes a pipe.
Named as a security risk in
our national defense was Vir-
ginia Cleaves of Cabot street,
Beverly.
"Vicky", as she is better
known, has been sitting hours
each week in the observation
tower atop City Hall Beverly,
keeping her alert eyes and
ears peeled for signs of any
approaching enemy aircraft
off the coast.
She was doing it for her
country she said - and en-
joyed it very much. But then
they found out that, while oil
duty, Vicky smoked a pipe.
And couple of weeks ago
she was informed that her
services as a plane spotter
were no longer required.
That's a fine how-do-you-
do. isn't it?" She told The
Express over the phone yes
terday.
Il have been sitting in that
tower by the hour, trying to
help my country. I hate those
Russians. I have given close
to SO hours of my time. for
which I am proud. So now
they tell me to keep out of
there because I smoke a pipe.
You'd think the Russians
could see the smoke away over
there"
Vicky says her trouble start
ed through a complaint of a
young Salem boy who had
been helping out in the tower.
He told his mother about
Vicky and her pipe and his
father Immediately contacted
the district supervisor in
charge of the tower. 1t re-
suited, Vicky says, in her dis
missal.
The nerve of them" parked
Vicky yesterday. "I've been
smoking a pipe since I was
IA years old. I had a grand
parent who smoked a pipe
from the time she walked I'M
til she was 80 years old. Is
there any difference between
a woman smoking a pipe and
smoking a cigarette?"
1t was agreed that pipe
smoking was fast becoming
the fashion among female
movie stars in Hollywood. And
that goodness knows how
many ordinary women smoke
a pipe in the privacy of their
home.
Il wouldn't think of smok-
ing it on the street, anymore
than I would smoke a cigar
cite in public. IT just doesn"
seem dignified in public. Blu
in private, that's different
and I'd like to get my hand.
on that little brat who rar
home and told his mother
about my pipe-smoking in the
tower"
Be that as it may, Vicky
and her pipe have been barred
from the plane-spotting tower
atop Beverly City Hall.
But Vicky says she'll keep
on fighting her dismissal il
she has to go to Washington.
And judging by her deter
voice over the phone,
she's capable of doing that,

Of the traffic demands of mot
orists using Greater Boston
streets and highways will be
undertaken by the Massachu-
sets Turnpike AIT ority and
the Massachusetts, Department

Actual road Interviews will
commence Friday, October
18th.
Chairman Callahan stated

to connect the Massachusetts,
Turnpike to downtown Boston
from its temporary terminus
to Route 1913, Weston. The

determined by land costs, en-
gin~ering problems and ex-
penSeS involved and locations
within Greater Boston and
the City of Boston that are
given as destination points
by motorists.
The Coverdale & Colpitts
engineers will def1n the areas
of study and men will be
assigned to Greater Boston

dies will be made for inter
change locations and means
of connecting expressways
within the area.
This Wholesale origin and
destination survey will also

can be in ,orporated into new
thinking in terms of increased
traffic.
The joint session held by
the Massachusetts, Toll Auth
orlty and the State Public

vague nature exist at the
present time for the Boston

The exact route will be deter
mined by thu traffic study
