By THOMAS COLLINS

On January is of this year,
from a corporation job he had
Malcomb w. Stewart retired
held with modest success for
% years. went home to his
wife with q modest but suf-
ficient income, and fell into
q pit Of depression.
On June 10 Of this year
he was fishing off a pier near
Wilmington, N. c., was
happy. busy, making money
and singing the praises Of
retirement.
Here is the story this pill
grim told Of his progress:
He reached a point shortly
after his retirement where
nothing interested him except
the news-from the papers
and TV. OF the news, the
Cuba crisis interested him
most.
At the insistence Of his
wife-"or you could call it
nagging," he said, because
she was getting concerned
about me"-he went to the
public library and brought
home some books on Cuba.
He read them-with an ef-
fort at first, then with grow
ing interest. He rediscovered
the fact that 1898 was the
time of that war in which
the United States took Cuba
from Spain and 1898
was when he was born. A
fellow named Mckinley, an
Ohio boy, was around them,
and had whipped William
Jennings Bryan for the pres
idency. The Gay Nineties
were on.
ST became absorbed in
what was happening at the
time I first came into the
world" he said, land I vir-
tually forgot Castro. And I
wondered If our four children
might not treasure q record
Of what was happening in the
world when THEY were
born. :"
There were four Of them,
born in 1922, 1924, 1925 and
1929. "These were turbulent
years, too" Mr.. Stewart ex-
planned, with the Roaring
Twenties, the lavish spend
ing and finally the depres-
sion. ="
With his wife cheering him
on, he returned to the IL
brary and began an exhaus-
tive research of the birth
years Of his four children.
Primarily he studied the
newspapers. copying down all
significant events Of the
four years during the morn
ings and coming home in

the afternoons to type them
on a secondhand typewriter
he had picked UP for $50.
For the Gay of birth of each
child he made arrangements
with the library to have cop
les made Of a newspaper
front page of that day. This
became the outside cover Of
each child's record.
It so happened-and one
thing always leads to an
other-that one Of the assist
ant librarians assigned to
help Mr.. Stewart was the
wife of the president of one
of the luncheon clubs in
town. And since Mr.. Stew
arts project had intrigued
the whole library staff
and the assistant librarian
had told her husband about
it and the luncheon
club needed speakers =.
Mr.. Stewart was invited to
address the luncheon club.
Among the businessmen
there was the third-genera-
ton owner Of a company
that wanted its history told.
He called Mr.. Stewart.
Since Mr.. Stewart was now
nearly three months into the
project for his children, and
nearing the end, he would
have time to research the
company's history. And write,
1t, too, No, he wouldn't want
much money for 1t. Some
thing Just short Of the social
security taboo Of 81, 200
maybe $1,150 a year plus
CraVelng expenses.
Wilmington, N. c., it so
happened again, was where
one of the founders of the
company was born. And in
early June Of 1868 some on
the-spot research in VIII
mington seemed advisable.
Which Is why Mr.. Stewart
was sitting on q fishing pier
there.
The company would have
happily paid $4,000 for q
story of itself (many are cur
rently paying $4,000 or
more), and If Mr.. Stewart
wanted only 81 $50 a year it
would be willing to keep him
working for five years and
over that period give him
$4,000 or so for research ex-
penseS.
The moral of this pill
grim's story is not necessarily
to head for the library to-
morrow. But rather to do
something - something be-
yond sitting isolated at
home.

Beman had only four brides.
