CAPE COD BECOMES
NATIONAL SEASHORE

4
| WASHINGTON - The Pilgrims,
casting anchor in Cape Cod har-
Dor in 1920, found the country of
such "wild and savage heiw" that
they sought more hospitable place
to land.
Now, nearly three and a half
centuries later, Congress has ere
ated Cape Cod National Seashore
to preserve unspciled sections of
the Cape's superb beaches, dunes
and moors, rivers and ponds.
The Cape becomes the only Nat
ional Seashore outside North Caro-
lima, says the National Geographic
Society. 1t lies within a days drive
of so million Americans, most of
] whom live in metropolitan areas
that become more crowded every
year.
The 27,000-acre park extends
mostly along the surf-battered
l eastern side of the Cape. But at
] two places on the narrow, 65-mile
: peninsula, it touches the quieter
waters of Cape Cod Bay.
Vikings May Have Landed
The peninsula is stepped in his
torical significance. Remnants of an
ancient ship, perhaps of Viking or
igin, have been uncovered. Humid
: reds of handsome homes, centuries
\ old, dot the countryside.
] Glaciers deposited the material
! for the Cape's varied scenery in
\ ages past. Winds and waves sculpt-
/ ured it into it's present-day form
! and added the sandy tip.
\ The heart of the newly created
! lSeashore is Great Beach, which
J basks in the Atlantic sun for 80
majestic miles. Glacier-formed
\ cliffs tower over the shores, lend
! ing an air of wildness to the scene.
VI Children romp and roll down
\ steep sloping dunes. Skiers practice
\ in the powdery sand for the win
] ter months ahead. Some dunes are
on the move; one road must be
\ cleaned each year where a neigh
| boring giant is intruding.
III Behind the dunes and cliffs a
narrow strip of forest and meadow
\ gives some idea of how New Eng
] land looked in colonial times. Small
! fresh-water ponds left by retreat
\ ing ice sheets sparkle in a setting
l of water lilies, rushes, and sweet
pepper bushes.
To the north, woodlands follow
\ the Herring River, haunt of musk
rat and mink. To the west, forests
! give way to heath and marsh where
\ wild geese and ducks feed.
Nj GosnOld Found No Gold
The Cape reaches out toward
I Europe like a reckoning arm. In
\ I16O2, explorer Bartholomew Cos
| mold, who wished to "found a coll
J ony in some agreeable spot, prefer
( ably where gold was abundant"
\ dropped anchor in what is now
Proyincetown Harbor. He discover
| ed no gold but named the Cape
\ for its abundant schools of goldfish.
] The Pilgrims almost settled
I there. They made their first land
\ ing off the future site OF Pro-
YOUNGSTOWN in 1920, but found the
J climate too rigorous. The Plym-
{ outh area, sheltered from Atlantic
\ storms by the peninsula, appeared
more hospitable.

Vossor's tooth

Vassar College, celebrating It's Tooth
anniversary, has seen-and has been a
leader in-revolutionary changes In
female education" since its founding
on January 10, 1861, by Matthew Vassar,
a Poughkeepsie businessman with a
novel idea. The idea, radical at the
time, was that woman, having received
from her Creator the same intellectual
constitution as man, has the same right
as man to intellectual culture and
development" '..,'. {.
To support and prove his theory, he
gave 200 acres and $408, 1000 toward the
establishment Of what was to be the
first adequately endowed American
college offering women educational
opportunities comparable to those
available for men. There were men who
feared that too much education would
ruin women as wives and houSekeeperS
but VaSSar grew and proSpered
through the years, as 1t helped to
establish women as full-fiedged citizens,
entitled to all the rights conferred by
law on men. We hail vassar on it's
centennial and wish 1t well as 1t begins
another century as . center Of "intel-
lectual culture development" for women.

Twisted Staff of Life

Some years ago a meat

slice ham so thin that you
could hardly tell the ham in
your sandwich from a color

Now they have invented a
bread slicer that slices bread
so thin that q whole ham
sandwich is no thicker than
an old-fashioned slice of
bread, and toast is as thin
and hard as a couple Of stale
crackers. The result? Bakers
who thin-slice bread, sell less

Atheists Have Riohts

I must disagree with Frank
L. Squires' views on atheists
holding public office in
Maryland. The people have
the right to prohibit certain
citizens from holding office.
but only when the people
have good reason for doing
so. For instance, 1t would be
wrong to prohibit people with
red hair from holding pub
lie office unless q good rea-
son could be, given for such
a prohibition. In Maryland,
one cannot even be a notary
public unless he processes be-
lief in God. The claim that
atheists may lack ethics be-
cause Of their disbelief, and
are. therefore. unfit for pub
lie office is ridiculous. A per-
son can believe in justice
without believing in a God
of justice. Many atheists
have dedicated their lives to
serving mankind, while many
common criminals will admit
that they believe in God. Any
atheist who lacks ethics can
circumvent the law by lying
when asked whether he be-
lieves in God. while an athe-
fst who is willing to tell the
truth Of his disbelief will
show by his action that Ire
can be trusted. The. law is
not only unjust. it is inef-
fective. 1t does not matter
who was responsible for
passing the law prohibiting
atheists from holding public
office in Maryland. What
concerns us now is that the
State legislature and the
public through inaction are
denying certain citizens their
rights. Yes, even atheists
have rights.

He would have saved your

sion In writing of two differ

tolled our American bird to
prove what q fine choice the
British have made.
The American robin is q
large thrush with a reddish
brown breast. the kinship be-
ing evidenced by the young's
speckled breast. In the male,
the head and tail are black
ish, but these are paler in
the female.
The European robin, which
the British know well, is re-
lated to the thrushes, but Is
a much smaller bird than our
harbinger Of spring. Also, its
coloring is significantly dif-
ferent. since the forehead
and cheeks. as well as the
breast. are yellowish- -red. 1t
ranges over parts Of Europe
and. is numerous in the Brit
iSh Isles.
Our robin was given It's

cause 1t resembled their own
and reminded them of home,
But even though the rela-

quite distant. the British
choice Of their own robin -

Showdown in Georoio'

In your editorial of jan

pointed out that Georgia is
faced with two choices: eth
er obey the order Of the court
or close its public schools.
But. in making recommen-
dations to the Georgia legis-
lature that they repeal the
fund cutoff law, you stated:
Provision also should be
made for a pupil assignment
plan and for such other meas
ures as will make it possible
to meet the requirements of
the courts and also preserve
the public school system as
q going concern.
Surely, you must know that
pupil assignment plans and
other such devices are mere
ly evasion schemes to cir
cumvent the Supreme Court
ruling of 1854 that public
schools must be desegregated,
and are discriminatory on
their face,
You could have performed

Court decision and attempt
to work out a program to de-
segregate its public schools

President Eisenhower has
told the Democratic Congress
and the incoming Democratic
President how the budget for
the current fiscal year and
for the fiscal year 1862 may
be balanced. At the same time
he has made several legis-
lative proposals which in his
opinion are wise and essential
If balanced budgets for these
196l-1962 are to naterialize.
It remains to be seen how
the Eisenhower budget and
advice will be handled by the
Democrats. One of his prin-
cipal recommendations is an
increase in the current postal
rates, so as to wipe out the
big deficit which each year
arises from the costs Of
handling the mails and the
inadequate receipts from the
postal rates. A Democratic
controlled Congress declined
in 1859 and in 1860 to grant
these increases in e postal
rates. Perhaps with a Demo-
ratio President IN the White
House the Congress will see
the advantage Of putting the
mail service on Q sounder
financial basis. This, however,
Is only q guess.
The Eisenhower budget
for the fiscal year 1862, which
reached Congress yesterday.
is based. too, on the Presi-
dents faith that the Ameri-
can economy is sound and
that it will take a decided up
turn in the coming months.
A serious recession or depres-
sion, Of course, could knock
any budget into q cocked-hat.
The President, however, has
made his estimates on various
reports and indications that
both business and employ
ment will be on the up-and-
up during the year and will
continue into 1862. In his
message to the Congress the
President has borne down
hard on the need for safe
guarding the country's econ
omy and the soundness of
the American dollar. A sound
economy he regards as an
important part of our ma
tional defense, as well as
essential for the comfort
and employment Of the
people.
Fiscal Integrity Vital
The President said In this
connection: This budget,
like each Of the seven which
I have previously sent to the
Congress, reflects the con-
viction that military strength
and domestic advancement
must be based on q sound
economy. and that fiscal
integrity is essential in the
responsible conduct Of gov
ernmental affairs. A surplus
in good times as provided
in this budget helps make up
the deficits which inevitably
occur during periods OF re-
cesSion. To ignore these prin-
ciples is to undermine our
strength as Q Nation through
deficits. unmanageable debt,
and the resulting initiation
and cheapening Of our
currency"
