It has only been within
siderable amounts of leisure time, and the problem
of how to fill them, have
age" American family.
But with the almost
40-hour week, the growing length of vacations and
more days off, and with the increasing number of
retired people, a whole new concept of living is
gradually growing up.
f"NE phase of it life
cussed recently. But that is only one small aspect
of a phenomenon which really has come into its own
since the war. During the war period, limitations of
time, gasoline and consumer goods held down the
development of leisure-time living; before that there
was the depression.
But look at the advertisements today, and what
do we see?
Barbecue grills, plain
air mattresses and other
leisure-time clothing, from
man equipment to the
clothes.
And, very possibly dwarfing all of these, are the
do-it-yourself implements;
own-home kits, looms, sewing machines, garden tools,
tractors, mechanics' gear of all sorts.
THE automobile, which has changed America prob
" ably more than any other single development, has
itself changed over the years. It is now possible to get
cars in which one can sleep, as well as drive. Extra
equipment, for one model or another, outfits the auto
mobile to do practically anything from digging post
holes to sweeping up to an operatic premier.
There are big, swanky cars; tiny, fast cars, and
every variation in between.
Boats, too, are now available in a range of prices
and facilities to permit anyone with extra cash to get
almost anything he wants, from an ocean-going lux
ury yacht to a put-together-at-home six-foot punt.
THE backyard, the workshop and the far - away
places have probably had as much to do with the
decline of organized amusements (and perhaps of
reading) as has television. For they have offered a
whole new set of experiences, many of them highly
rewarding.
One result of this change in living modes is re
flected in headlines of today the inevitable stories
of accidents involving those who are preoccupied in
filling their leisure time.
OERE are a few of the type we had in mind, picked
n at random from recent issues of the Mail Trib
une: Wreck Kills Four Near Myrtle Creek ; Two Acci
dental Deaths Listed at La Grande; Boy Bruised as
Boat Plunges Over Spillway; State Mishaps Kill 14;
Hollywood Trio Crash Victims ; Train Kills Children
Lying Between Rails; Plane Seeking Two Water
Skiers Crashes ; San Francisco Girl Sets New Record

Boise Fatal to Two Men; Eagle Point Youth Escapes
When Horse Drowns in River; Tahoe Swimmer
Forced to Give Up; Yacht Crew Says Craft Never
Lost; Injured Climber Rests in Hospital, and so on
and so on.
THAT gives the general idea.
No one of these stories taken alone would mean
much. But since they all appeared within the space
of about two weeks, they add up to something. That
something would seem to be that restless Americans
are doing things,, going places, and have the spare
time to do it not always displaying wisdom or
achieving safety.
THE Eugene Register-Guard, commenting editori-
ally recently about the problems of school disci
pline, came to this conclusion. It said :
This is an age of pleasure. We're living high and hav
ing ourselves a fine time and that goes for ma and pa as
well as for junior. Today's high school senior, a 5-year-old
when the "war boom" hit the American economy, has never
known that sometimes people have to work, and that they
can't work well unless they behave. All his life he has seen
people flitting from better job to better job. He knows that
any dumb bunny can get a job. . .
Which is one way of making the point that in
creased leisure, and the "temper of the times," may
be factors in increases in what is known as juvenile
delinquency. There are plenty of headlines about this,
too.
AMERICA is in the midst'of a major revision in its
manners and morals. More off-work time is one
part of the new and sometimes rather appalling pic
ture. In any upheaval of this sort, peaceful and un
eventful on the surface, there are undercurrents and
the pulling and hauling of old habits and traditions
and customs breaking up. It will take time for the new
ones to become solidified, and really to know where
we are going and just where we have been. E.A.

in the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Routine news note:
The nation's lawmakers are
hurrying out of Washington.
Barring a special session they
will not have to be back in the
capital until next January 3,
when both houses reconvene.
WHY are the nation's lawmak
HURRYING out of Wash
ington? There are many reasons.
One of them is the heat. Wash
ington's climate isn't air-conditioned
as the climate of the
city of San Francisco is claimed
to be, and rather generally is.
The prevailing winds blow into
San Francisco off the cool Paci
fic ocean. The winds blow into
Washington off the hot, often
muggy, interior.
At this season, the heat in
Washington is SOMETHING
(something to be got away from,
if possible.)
SPHERE are other reasons.
In these modern das,
when the United States is more
or less running the world (and
paying for the privilege with
large appropriations for foreign
aid) there are "junkets."
Junket' is a cynical taxpayer
term for trips taken by members
of congress to various parts of
the world (at government ex
pense) to study situations that
may concern the welfare of the
American people. If sincerely
undertaken by INTELLIGENT,
studious, thoughtful senators
and representatives, they are
worth every cent they cost the
taxpayer. On the part of such
men, they involve a lot of hard
work.
But
Unavoidably
They are also a lot of fun. It's
nice to get away.from the Wash
ington heat (and grind) and
start around the world.
rpHEN, of course, there are po
litical fences to be mended.
The place to mend fences, as
every rancher knows, is where
the fences are. Political fences
are located exclusively within
the constituencies of the mem
bers of the congress that is to
say, BACK HOME, where the
votes are.
T HOPE I haven't permitted any
note of irony to creep into
this reference to the business of
political fence-mending on the
part of the members of our con
gress. It is SUPREMELY import
ant in our American system of
government.
Unfortunately, the beautiful
and glamorous city of Washing
ton is not in any manner what
ever typical of average Ameri
can life. It is a dream world. It
is a Shangri-la. I'm sure Presi
dent Roosevelt must have been
thinking of the city of Washing
ton when he coined that word.
People who remain too long
within the confines of Washing
ton become INSULATED against
the realities of American life. It
is good for them to GET AWAY.
To get out and rub elbows with
REGULAR people.
IlfHY this insulation "this in
' nate dissimilarity to the
rest of our country?
I think this is why:
Elsewhere in America, our
problems all more or less re
volve around the fundamental
problem of WHERE IS THE
MONEY TO COME FROM?
In Washington (official Wash
ington, I mean) there is no such
problem. Everybody in (official)
Washington KNOWS where the
money will come from. It will
come from the pockets of the
people. All that is necessary,
when a money problem arises
there, is to reach into the pock
ets of the people and TAKE THE
MONEY OUT.
When one lives long enough in
that kind of atmosphere one be
comes UNREAL.
THAT'S why it's good for the
- members of our congress to
get out of Washington at more
or less regular intervals and get
out among the people who earn
their living.
ANYWAY, I'm glad the con
gress has adjourned.
I hate to admit it, but when
the congress adjourns I always
experience a feeling of relief
an exhilarating sensation of hav
ing escaped from threatened
dangers.
listed on the big New York Stock
Exchange.
In those days all industries
here were locally owned. Then
an ambitious and industrious
young man could buy or start
a fishing business or granite
quarry or small factory of his
own. Today the situation is very
different. Nearly all the indus
tries require much capital and
are owned by large corporations
outside Gloucester. This is true
of most cities; it is not a healthy
situation. It is especially notice
able when I am helping Babson
Institute graduates to a position.
They can easily get a position
starting at S300 per month; but
it will be. with a large company.
The smaller and younger busi
ness concerns cannot afford to
pay such salaries to beginners.
Cities Making
Great Mistake
One reason for writing this
column today is the death at
Evanston, 111., of the founder of
the National Small Business
Men's Association, DeWitt M.
Emery. He died at the young
age of 59, having given his life
to the unselfish work of en
couraging young persons to start
a business for themselves. He
claimed that cities are now mak
ing a great mistake in depending
only upon large manufacturing
corporations owned in New York
or some other large city. He be
lieved it is like a church expect
ing to prosper without a Sunday
School or even like a family
expecting to prosper without
children. Also much is owed to
Ernest Gaunt.
Yet things are happening to
day which could benefit the
"small businessman." First, the
Federal tax laws have been
amended to give him a break.
The Labor Unions as a rule
do not bother the small "inde
pendent operator," hoping that
their members themselves may
some day be one. Increasing the
minimum national- wage to one
dollar will probably exempt a
small operator or storekeeper,
This could be an advantage to
the small manufacturer with
lower overhead and fewer em
ployees.
Importance of
Personal Service
I forecast that some people
will always want personal at
tention from specialists whom
they know and trust. I believe
in pensions, modern factories
and air conditioning, but these
things will not take the place
of personal attention by inter
ested employees. People like at
tention; they want to deal with
owners of a business whom they
know and trust. Most employees
are today missing a great op
portunity to become truly inter
ested in the success of the busi
ness in which they are employed,
The increasing congestion of
automobiles (due to the dumb
ness of local city governments
in not providing employers with
sufficient off-street parking lots),
is causing many families to move
to other areas to get work. The
parking nuisance, however, will
give the young businessmen an
opportunity to call at homes and
take orders for goods. More busi
ness will be done in the evenings
Wagon-peddlers" will increase
in number and usefulness. I fore-
cast that the cycle of the past
100 years from family-owned
little businesses to big corpora
tions will gradually reverse and
return to small specialty fac
tories.
Small-Town Paper
Would Be Goal
Every time I go to Europe I
am impressed by the number
of families who live on their
business and are thus able to
give "24 hour" service. Were I
a young man and had a good
wife, this is the way I would
start, instead of working for a
big company. Or, better still,
I should try working for, and
some day own, a small-town
newspaper! I surely would go
into some form of merchandising
or advertising where I could use
new ideas and be an individual,
and not get into a labor-union
rut. A small manufacturer or
shopkeeper, however, willing to
work and having a good turn
over, need not fear sudden
changes and new methods. Many
of them can work to his advan
tage if he will attend to his trade.
Chile Indians Dance

cano held ritual dances today to
appease the "devil" they believe
responsible for the mountain's
activity.
The eruption entered its 11th
day and experts expected it to

phur deposits inside the volcano.
Portland Rowdyism
Campaign Successful
Portland (U.R) Portland
Police Chief Jim Purcell today
said a campaign against juve
nile rowdyism had been success
ful. Purcell said patrols of police
women in plain clothes had been
very effective in curbing teen
age rowdyism reported recently.
He said no arrests had been
made, that they had been pre

He said the patrols would continue.
Is That So?
By Eugene Burnt
Ranger-Naturalist
A reader of the Oslo, Norway,
illustrated family magazine, SOJ,
wants to know: "On the average,
how many feathers does a bird
have?"
A scoutmaster from Grand
Forks, N.D., writes: "My troop
wants to know, what is the hot
test official temperature ever
recorded?"
The number of feathers a bird
has are not as many as one might
suppose after plucking a duck
or partridge. To be sure, the num
ber varies with the size of the
bird, the time of the year, and
the species.
As might be expected, smaller
birds have fewer feathers. The
tiny hummingbird from Cuba,
the world's smallest, seems to be
the bird with the fewest 940.
In contrast, a robbin has around
2,600; a glaucous-winged gull
6,500; a mallard 12,000; and a
swan 25,000.
To deal with the cold of win
ter, birds put on a heavier coat.
In one example, the only one
I can find, a goldfinch has 1,439
in summer; in winter another
had 2,368 almost
number. ,
Because smaller birds have
proportionately more surface to
keep warm than big birds, we
can expect them to have more
feathers per gram weight. And
that is true. A hummingbird
weighing 2.8 grams has 940
feathers, or 335 per gram; a
night hawk weighing 67.9 grams
had 2,034 feathers, or 29 per
gram; while a swan weighing
6,123 grams had 25,216 feathers,
or four feathers per gram of
body weight.
On the basis of existing rec
ords, the highest temperature
ever recorded on earth and
surely even higher temperatures
must have existed in areas where
there were no thermometers
handy or even people to read
them was at Tripoli, where it
reached 137 degrees Fahrenheit.
At the time, the desert floor,
which gets much hotter than the
air, registered 180 degrees or
a mere 32 degrees below the
ordinary boiling point of water.
As for our North American
continent, the hottest spot of all
is in sunny California: Death Val
ley, where on July 10, 1913, the
air temperature reached 134 de
greesonly 3 degrees less than
the all-time official record at
Tripoli. The reader may be inter
ested to know that 100 degrees
or over have been recorded in
each of our states and provinces.
In fact, from as far north as the
Arctic circle!

Pet Rooster Is Saved
To the Editor: He weighed all
of 2 lbs. He stayed in his own
yard, minding his own business,
(more than I can say for some
PEOPLE), catching the bugs, ear
wigs, etc., around the flowers
and shrubs. But he made the mis
take of crowing once in awhile,
out of pure pride for his ONE
little wife, (weight 1V4 lbs.). So
some old (or young) "busybody"
called on the phone and said:
"You get rid of that rooster or
I'll have you arrested." "
She didn't have enough nerve
to say who she was, but immed
iately hung up the phone when
asked. No . doubt if the "busy
body" had of been washing her
dishes, cleaning her house, tak
ing care of her yard or her chil
dren, she wouldn't have had -so
much time butting into other
people's business, instead of
minding her own.
Well! Mr. "Took, Took" .was
lucky, he now has a good home
in the country with a little mis
tress who happens to love pets
(and people) as much as I do. :

The families of 30 persons kill

American Airlines twin-engined
Convair stood by today, waiting
for the bodies of the victims to
be identified so they could claim
them.
At the same time, officials of
the Civil Aeronautics Authority
and the airline poked among
the ashes of the charred wreck
age in an effort to learn what
caused the plane to crash. All of
the bodies were recovered.
Attempting Landing
The plane crashed Thursday
while attempting an emergency
landing with an engine in flames
on the airstrip of this big Army
installation. It lost a wing and
fell, a half mile short, into a
ravine of hickory and tangled
vines.
Capt. R. D. Sinex, Army pub
lic information officer, said it
was the right wing that burned
off. He said the pilot,, Capt.
Hugh C. Barron, of Macon, Ga.,
was making a perfect approach.
A few. seconds more, he said,
and Barron would have made it.
Seconds before, the plane had
passed, at 200 feet, over an on
post housing development where
the families of military person
nel lived. Sinex said "hundreds"
lived along the path and it fell

THE BAD
1. Russia asked West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to
fix a date at the end of this
month or the beginning of Sep
tember for his visit to Moscow.
Prospect of the visit was not
pleasant. There was no doubt
that the Kremlin would try to
get Adenauer away from his
present close cooperation with
the Western Allies. In Paris, the
French cabinet approved a plan
for Premier Edgar Faure and
Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay
to visit Moscow. It may be taken
for granted that the Russians
will try to weaken France's co
operation in the Western alli

had crashed. He said the plane
was "nothing but a bunch of ash
and molten metal."
"It could hardly be recog
nized as a plane," he said.
Two or three of the passengers
were thrown out 25 or 30 feet
from the plane. The others for
the most part were "just piled
up, Sinex said.
"He didn't clip off any trees
or anything. The wing fell off.
Then the plane just plunged
into the ground. The area it
covered wasn't any bigger than
your living room.
When I got there it was burn
ing like hades. There wasn't any
thing we could do about going
into the plane. When we finally ,
did get things so we could bring
fire trucks in, the fire had pretty -
well burned itself out," Sinex
said. ,
