Table Rock With violets,
crocuses and jasmine in bloom

arriving in the sheep pas
tures, it would seem locally
that spring is just around the
corner.
But to one who has spent
70 winters in this locality,
the signs don't mean a lot. We
remember back when George
Putnam published the MT,
we had enjoyed a winter like
this and in the latter part of
February the pear orchards
were in full bloom. George
decided to get out a special
edition, so sent photographers
into the orchards to get pic
tures of the blossom-laden
trees, green fields and other
signs of spring.
, If our memory serves us
right, it was the first Sunday
in March, 1914, we awoke to
find about three inches of
frozen snow in the ground,
and covering the beautiful
pear blossoms. The special
edition of the Mail Tribune
had been printed and was
being received by subscribers,
causing Putnam plenty of em
barrassment. If we had at that time a
weather bureau like our pres
ent one, maybe it could have
saved the day for him. Maybe
he should have checked with
the ground hog.
All officers elected by the
local Sunday school for the

ore Executions
Castro in Cuba
Depl
By
Roger Sharp, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Harold Sharp cele-
fbrated his fourth birthday
Tuesday, with Grandma and
Grandpa Doran.
By United Press International
The echo of revolutionary
firing squads in Cuba has re
sulted in criticism of the Fidel
Castro regime in Latin Ameri
can nations as well as in
the United States.
In the tempestuous history
of Latin America, the idea
has been accepted that any
government may topple at
any time by the violent means
of revolution.
But inured as they may
be to the revolutionary prin
ciple, Latin Americans have
also formed a revolutionary1
honor code or tradition:
""To the victor belongs the
spoils but not the lives of
the vanquished."
Latin American public opin
ion, with the exceses of re
cent dictator regimes fresh
in memory, at first followed
with sympathy the progress
of the Cuban revolution.
Tha Mood Changed
When the executions got
underway, however, the mood
changed. The Argentine Con
gress was quick to address
r e s o 1 u t ions to provisional
President Manuel Urrutia,
asking urgently that the ex
ecutions cease.
The influential newspaper
La Prensa of Buenos Aires
asked the Cuban courts to
give the accused "due trials"
with full legal guarantees."
The Catholic newspaper
El Pueblo of Buenos Aires
said the summary executions
were "an anomaly which is
repugnant to the most ele
mentary principles of human
ity and Christianity."
Colombia's leading news
paper, El Tiempo of Bogota,
said the Americas have been
following "with horror and
disappointment the bloody
process of violence unleashed
by the triumphant Cuban rev
olution." Followers of Batista are be
ing put to death "without
observing any law," said the
conservative El Siglo of Bo
gota. Another conservative Col
ombia daily, La Republica,
said Castro had "come out of
the wilderness, but wants to
go on behaving as though he
were among savages."
Recalls Earlier Terror
"The horror of these exec
utions recalls the terror of
the French Revolution and
the frightful scenes of the
Russian Revolution in 1917,"
La Republica continued.
"Instead of trials, assassin
ations are committed," said
Mexicoo City's Excelsior. "In
stead of punishing those guilty
of abuses and outrages, the
most implacable vengeance
Is exercised, and in a fratri
cide without precedent, with
outan end to the horrible
nightmare yet in sight."
This was the temper of most
newspapers, but at least one
newspaper, Correlo da Manna
of Rio de Janiero, while
pointing out the executions
could not be condoned, also
wanted to know why the
United States and several
Latin American countries
were so late in expressing
their "humanitarian senti
ments." "They should have been
expressed when Batista was
in power, punishing his oppo
nents with torture and death,"
the newspaper said.

to make themselves some of
the hundred-year-ago dresses.
Their motive for visiting
the museum was to get point
ers on how to shape beards
and make costumes to con

cording to Mrs. Smith, they
found the museum so interest
ing and containing so many
antiques and new displays,
that they spent the whole af

She advises anyone wanting
to spend a half day or so, en
joying themselves among the
old relics that give a wonder
ful and true picture of how
folks lived in times past, to
make a trip to the Jackson
