Cheer Up Club
To the Editor: Talent, (not to
he outdone by Joe Neal, of Med
ford and his Happy Club) has
startrd a "Cheer-Up Club." The
only difference In the clubs, be
sides the names, Is that we In
clude the women also because
we think they should be happy
as well as the men.
The tulal cost Is one dime to
bo happy and after getting a
bargain like that for a dime if
you aren't happy then you
better pay another dime and try
again, as you are doubtless in
need of happiness twice as badly
as those who can be happy for
a dime. Ten cents Is mighty
cheap 'or hnnpiness. The only
requirement for belonging to
this club is to stay happy and of
course help others to slay happy.
There is not president. Just a
vice-president and everyone else
is an assistant vice. No dues,
no meetings and no worries.
The charter of members (22 at
the present writing) is at the
Talent .Malt Shof so why not
stop right In pay your dime
and be happy.
Oh yes, dimes that are col
lected in this manner will be
used to buy toys etc. for kiddles
that are 111 and in need of a
little remembrance or something
to brighten their day.

Editorial Correspondence
Boston, Mass., June 8 After New York, Boston seems like a
provincial, and rather unkempt, village. But it has one thing in
common with the great American metropolis, it is a community
of sharp contrasts. At In Manhattan, what a difference just a few
blocki make! , ,
Take East Boston and Back Bay Boston, Brooklin and Scol
lay Square, here one finds the most highly civilized, cultured and
thoroughly aristocratic groups In the country; and a short distance
away, the most squalid, Illiterate and thoroughly tough sections on
the Atlantic seaboard.

Boston, however, has s richness of tradition and a charm
which New York lacks. It also has a quality of self-satisfaction
and repose which can't be found in the island the Indians sold for
$24. Were we compelled to live along the North Atlantic sea
board which Heaven forbldl we would prefer the Boston to the
Manhattan area. But we admit that at times the best thing about
"the land of tha bean and the cod" would be the Midnight for NYC.

Except for that ona rain, the Weather Man has been s good
scout on this sojourn. Having visited the school of our youth
(which as heretofore remarked, has so Improved during the past
00 years, that It now stands at the very top of American schools
and colleges as lo natural attractiveness) we decided to revive more
of our horse-and-buggy memories by motoring out to Wellcsloy,
and having s "look-see" at what we have alwaya regarded as the
most attractive college-for-women In the United States. It atlll
ranks tops In Its natural attractions, wonderful trees, lawns and
Impressive buildings grouped on the high shores of a lako, but
there hat been no tuch "transformatlon'ras at Andover.

Although this It final exam' time as well as packing-up

and it proved to be a very enlivening occasion. Probably before
this Is printed Mist Jackson will be home (like her papa, she al
ways flies), but Miss Bragg will visit her brother, L. D. Jr., who

Just been and recently had an addition to his family, now a total

Of course at this time of year
of the world are attractive but in some ways we believe New Eng
land surpasses any other section of the U.S.A. It is well named,
for it reminds one of rural England, yet it has the best in nature

ADELAIDE PROCTOR
Sprang out of bed promptly
at nine o'clock this morning and
after a light breakfast of cereal,
half a grapefruit, ham and eggs,
a few hotcakes and a cup of
coffee hopped Into our elegant
motor car and breezed out to
historic Monmouth county. New
Jersey, for a stay In the country.
It was a be a u 1 1 f u 1 day. There
was a minimum of traffic. We
made the door to door trip
from midtown Manhattan to our
stonDinn place, a distance of
over 80 miles. In one hour and
45 minutes. The West Side high
way, The Lincoln and Holland
tunnels and the Pulaski Skyway
have certainly made it easy to
get from the heart of Manhat
tan to the rural sections of New
Jersey. Incidentally, I believe
New Jersey has more highway
direction signs than any state in
the country. In too many states
the highway number signs and
others that might be of assis
tance to a stranger are too far
apart.
Doctors
How often do doctors bring
their own children into the
world? A doctor's wife I know
told me hor husband officiated
at their first blessed event. She
said he was very nervous. The
doctor later said what made him
nervous was that he could hard
ly wait to see whether it was a
boy or a girl.
Horaaa It Woman
Nine men out of ten prefer
women who are five feet three
Inches to five feet six inches in
height. Nine women out of ten
who are taller than five feet
six Inches wish they were short
er. Such is the claim of a New
Yorker, who adds; "The only
praise a tall woman rates is
stunning. While a short woman
can be clue, cute, darling, smart
and lovoly." Our Horses At Wo
men experts say a man who lets
the matter of height enter Into
the choice of a matrimonial
companion Is making a grave
mistake. They say he should
look for a sympathetic girl with
a sense of humor plus some tal
ent as a home manager, com
pletely disregarding her height.
If she Is taller than he is he
can wear height building shoes
and she can cut down on her
high heels

Food Again
How many portions of roast
beef does the average restaurant
get from a thrlty-seven pound
roast? One Manhattan eatery
claims It serves only fourteen
portions from a roast of that
size. However, the price of a
roast beef dinner, which in
cludes asparagus, baked potato
and salad, Is $11.30 at that place.
Dessert and coffee extra. Check
usually Is over four dollars.
Agad Athletes
Dispatch states that Charlie
Hart, 84-ycar-old Britilh athlete,
recently ran from Windsor to

THE PROSPECTIVE FATHER IS THE BUTT OF
SHOPWORN HUMOR
May a grandfather get Into
this argument about parents re
maining together when their
"l rhi'rlren arrive
J . ; and about ba-
' I ! k'" ,e'n8 born
-, S t at home? asks
P f i a New England
reader, and
without wait
ing for per
mission tears
off 2V6 pages
of single-space
comment, to
wit:
His wife had
been a mater
nity supervls
o r (graduate
Dr. Brady
nurse) In a large hospital before
marriage, and she had a firm
conviction that the prospective
father should stand by, not out
in the monkey cage with the
rest of the . . . but at bedside.
But he was far away when their
first baby was born. When the
second was born they were liv
ing Willi his parents, wno insist
ed on the prospective mother
entering a hospital. In the hos
pital the expectant mother re
peatedly asked for her husband's
presence: the head nurse each
time pretended to call him but
actually came out and said
"Your wife does NOT want you
in there yet." So once more
circumstances kept the parents
separated at this most sacred
hour of married life.
I (Brady) believe this wretch
ed Yankee custom of encourag
ing the husband to shirk his re
sponsibility is a common con
tributing cause of divorce.
The third baby was born In
Boston where most doctors who
accept maternity cases insist on
hospital deliveries, the New Eng
land reader continues.
This time, however, the ex
pectant mother found a fine
physician who delivered the
baby at home, and as her hus
band says, she achieved Pleas
ant Childbirth, thanks to the
wisdom and common sense of
the doctor.
When they were ready to
welcome the fourth baby they
were able to have things their
own way. But when it became
known that the babv was to be
delivered at home all the GOOD
SOULS In the community be
came concerned. Delegations
even called on the prospective
father to try and shame him into
making his wife go to the hospi
tal. Why, think of the effect on
those innocent young ones! He
was Ignorant, inconsiderate of
his wife's welfare, subjecting her
to unwarranted risks, etc. Still
the wife preferred her home to
any hospital. This time the de
livery was the easiest . . .
Then the New England reader
begins his history of the second
generation officious hospital
maternity supervisor told his
wife she simply could not stay
with her daught-r . . . she slav
ed and lucky it was for tlie
daughter that she did, for the
obstetric specialist was not to be
found when the patient needed
him the baby was born with
only an interne in attendance.
The baby's father, of course,
had been sent home (the poor
sapi with the promise "we'll call
yon when the time comes."
The New England reader bids
me keep up the agitation to
keep couples together at this
supreme moment, and to encour
age people to have their babies
at home.
Well. I'll try. But, tell me.
have you ever had a nightmare
in which you are in dreadful
peril and desperate need of help,
and you yell bloodv murder,
help, police, as loudlv as vou
can. without avail, and a vear
later your wife shakes you 'ant'
asks what you are mutterlr
about?

Every time I sound off on
having your baby at home, the
reaction is almost wholly nega
tive. Doctors, trick specialists,
head nurses, hospital supenr,
tendents, politicians, and even
the wiseacre customers openly
censure me or use whatever un-der-cover
or indirect influence
they have to convince editors
or publishers that I am out of
step with the medical profession.
Doctors and laymen who
share my belief are evidently
afraid to say so, that Is, except
In condldentlal communications,
which are pleasant to receive
but not the sustenance required
to carry on the battle.

Robert Fiance said exaggerated

In the Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
Standing the other day In the
pulpit of the Augustana Evange
lical Lutheran church in Wash
ington, President Truman asked
the nation to pray that he may
be given the wisdom to obtain
peace in the world.
Speaking simply, apparently
meaning every word he uttered,
he said:
"Never in the history of our
country has a servant of the peo
ple that is what the president
is needed your support and
your prayers as does the present
occupant of the White House. . .
wo man, no matter how
great or how Informed he may
be, Is capable of filling the pres
idency in the manner In which
it ought to be filled. It Is the
greatest Job In the world. . . .
". . . All any man can-do Is the
best he can in the interests of
all the people of the United
States. . . . Religious people are
the greatest support a free gov
ernment can have."
STANDING there in that tim
nlA nnl.lnrt.DUHtnmi. nttlmlt
talking to delegates who had
come to Washington from all
over the country to attend the
annual synod of their church,
Harry Truman was just his sim
ple, sincere self. For a moment,
he stepped out of character as
the titular leader of the demo
cratic party, with thousands
upon thousands of associates and
supporters depending upon him
to keep the democratic party In
power so that their jobs 'and
their careers may go on unin
terruptedly, and was Just a
plain, honest little man upon
whose shoulders weighty prob
lems rest.
He wanted the prayers of good
people all over the country. He
needs them. Unaffectedly, genu
inely, he asked for them.
MOBODY wrote that speech for
' him. It came from his own
heart. He is often like that.
When he IS like that, he is at his i
best. I
Personally. I wish he could be
like that all the time. I like him
when he is just his genuine, sin
cere self. I find that at those
times I am inclined to trust him.
If he could be like that all the
time, he could lead us In the
direction we ought to go for In
his own natural person, just BE
ING HIMSELF, he has great
charm and great power to com
mand trust and confidence.
I THINK all sincere men are
like that. But here is an odd
thing about men they are sin
cere some of the time and some
