Stamp Exhibit At Junior Library

Richard Kimball of School street has arranged a very attractive stamp exhibit for the Junior Room which is being enjoyed by the boys and girls. Many first day covers are included. There is the one com-memorating the inauguration of Washington; as well as the Coop-erstown issue honoring the birth-place of boseball. The newest stamp, that which preserves the memory of the opening of the Panama Canal, is included. Other first day covers are: the "Heroes of the American Army and Navy." The presidential issue is almost entirely represented.

The Air Mail stamp is repre-sented by a first flight cover: that of the Northern trans-atlantic.

There are some interesting for-eign stamps. Spain is well repre-sented by the Columbus issue of 1922, as well as the Madrid press conference stamps of 1936. Bel-gium is represented by an attrac-tive set of the mother and child

Diamonds Valued At $10,000 Stolen

The southern part of the town of Andover is a bad place for jewel. ry salesmen to atop. Seven and a half years ago two New York salesmen stopped on the by-pass near Stinson road; later they re-ported that their car had been robbed of $15,000 in sample jewels. Monday noon a New Jersey sales-man, representing a New York house of considerable repute, stopped for a bite at quarter of one at Howard Johnson's, itself the scene of a midnight hold-up a couple of years ago.

When the salesman came out from the lunch counter, he found a small inch and a half hole in the window of the right door, sur-rounded by about an eight-inch shattering of glass. What he didn't find was his suitcase with its $10,000 worth of diamond rings. Ap-parently the robbers had pulled some .wires to get the jewels, the wire having been used to pull up the door-handle.

Police incline to the belief that the job was done by professional thieves who had followed the sales-man from Boston. The only other possible excuse for anyone taking $10,000 worth of diamond rings would be to sell them to a foreign dictator to use at mass weddings.

—Rev. Donald Savage of the Weil, church and Rev. Herman Johnson of the Free church attended the Congregational Ministers Retreat held at Adeleynwod, South Byfleld this week.

Shifty Colleges Problem In China

His experience as a teacher for the past two years at Yale-in-China has given Edward Vose Gulick a keen insight into the lives of the Chinese people, their desire for progress, their struggle against poverty and the increasing influ-ences of Japan and Russia. At a tea at the home of his mother, Mrs. Myron E. Gutterson on Chest-nut street, Saturday, Mr. Gulick related some of his experiences to about fifty guests.

A freshman entering a Univer-sity in China not only must worry about the whereabouts of class-rooms, dormitories, etc., but also the whereabouts of the University itself. "Three of the biguniversities in Peking," Mr. Gulick said, "had to be moved from 700 to 1,000 miles westward." But the compli-cations which the students and fa-culty have to overcome in being hurriedly shifted from one place to another, are no more deterring to the pursuit of education than lack of money.

Mr. Gulick will be a resident counsellor at Yale this year, hav-ing charge of 15 freshmen, and at the same time he will study at the graduate school, majoring in history.

MRS. SMART MARKS 90th BIRTHDAY

Mrs. Joseph A. Smart of 119 Main street received the best wishes of friends and relatives last Friday when she celebrated her ninetieth birthday. Mrs. Smart is another one of our "oldest" citizens of whom the town is so proud, and her daily activities in her home and garden indicate a youthfulness that has nothing to do with birthdays.

She received many cards and lovely bouquets of flowers in honor of the day.

Knights Of Columbus To Discuss Future

Organization May Vote To Disband At Meeting

Wednesday Night

The future of Andover's Knights of Columbus, whether it will con-tinue or disband with members who wish joining the Lawrence coun-cil, is to be decided next Wednes-day evening at a special meeting in the Park street rooms. Special agent John F. Daily will be present.

if the Council decides to discon-tinue, it will be another in a long list of fraternal organizations which have fallen by the wayside because of the many other attrac-tions in today's life. At one time the Council was a very strong group, with a home of its own on Chestnut street right behind the Andover Savings Bank which has now converted it into apartments.

Charles Rea, Town's Oldest Man, Dies

Andover's oldest male resident, who celebrated his ninety-third birthday last March, passed away last Sunday at his home on 69 Park street.

Although he was born and edu-cated in North Andover, and learned the machinist trade at the Davis and Futter company there, his life is associated with Andover and many, of the old established customsof the town. Ait one time he was a printer and turned the press for the Andover Advertiser, a paper which has been out of ex-istence for over half a century. At another time he was in the team-ing business and for six years he was an engineer on the old "An-dover Steamer," becoming chief engineer about 1880. The firemen's musters, which were a main at-traction in those days, were al-ways attended by Chief Rea.

Mr. Rea retired from active bus-iness only seven years ago and it has been only since last September that he has been confined to his wheel chair. The Boston Post Cane, which is awarded to the oldest man in the town, has been in his possession for the past six years.

His sister, Mrs. Alice R. Dear-born, is now the only survivor in the family. He leaves two daugh-ters, Mrs. Grace Ayer and Mrs. Ella Curtis, with whom he resided, and a son, William T. Rea.

Funeral services were held at the late home yesterday afternoon and burial was in the Spring Grove cemetery. Rev. Frederick 11. Noss officiated.

FIRE CHIEF'S CAR GOOD CLIMBER

The next time Fire 'Chief Emer-son goes to a fire, he's just going to let his car climb right up the ladder. Early Tuesday evening he was driving on South Main street when his rear axle broke and the wheel flew off. The car got out of control and climbed a stone wall near Carter's corner, leaving one end pointing toward heaven and the other end pointing downward.

Doherty of the William A. Doherty Insurance Company at-tended the National Conference of agents of the Aetna Life Insur-ance company in Swampscott, yes-terday. —Mr. and Mrs. G.

Obituary Mrs. David Ferguson

Funeral services for the late Mrs. Joan (Gordon) Ferguson, for. merly of this •town, who died Thursday night at her home on Chandler street in Arlington, were held Sunday afternoon in the \Vest Parish Chapel. Mrs. Fergu-son was -born in Arbroath, Scot. land, and lived in Andover for some time before she moved to Arlington seven years ago, She was a member of the Free church while she resided here.

Besides her husband, she leaves two daughters, Mrs. Jessie Chris-tofferson of Acton and Mrs. David Tait of Arlington; a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Frazer of Andover; three brothers, Alexander of An-dover, Norman of Methuen and William of Cambridge, .

More Bus Regardless of figures, there are

going to be people who will know more about school transportation problems than the school authori ties. Even if shown that a new bus would take up enough of the present expensive loose-ends to par for pretty near its annual cost. they won't believe it. Fortunatel‘ however town officials usually pay attention to figures and not to those who feel that they are an-thorities on everything from steam boilers to higher education.

The transportation problem will probably take up much of the school board's time at the next meeting. They'll he criticized of course if they decide that a new bus is consistent with economy. and peop'e will rave about what an exnense school transportation is. But listen sometime to those ravings. We heard one man. and he's typical of many, criticizing the school board the other day because they were snending so much on transportation—and a few minutes later he was critietline them be-cause they weren't making any

They're talking about neutrality down in Washington now, but neu-trality is something that we've got to do more than talk about. We have to act neutral, and that means more than not openly favoring any of the belligerent nations; it means not doing anything that would even indirectly favor any power—it means, in other words, a complete abstinence from doing anything or dealing in anything of a warlike nature. If our President and our Congress are really interested in keeping the United States out of war. the hest thing that they can do is to keep the country out of the war business. Even if Ger-many and Great Britain were equal-ly able to nay cash and to carry away munitions from our shores. by allowing this trade the United States is helping to continue the war, and the longer the war goes on the more chance there is of our rotting into it.

The TTnited States can play an Important part in this struggle, not only by refusing to supply the im-nlements for the nations to use in killing each other's young men but also by making every effort every day to end the war. There will he those who will want the war to go on until Hitler end Hitlerism is wiped off the face of the earth, but is that worth the sacrifice of so many lives, French, German and British? Nothing was gained by the last war; nothing will be gained by this. But unless some-thing is done. it's going to go on for years. Thousands will he killed between the Maginot and Siegfried lines and in the cities; London. Paris and Berlin, with the beauty that the centuries have given them, will be gone.

THE ANDOVER

TOWNSMAN Established 1887

Published on Thursday at Smith & Coutts Co., 4 Park Street, Andover, Mass., by Elmer J. Grover. Entered at the Andover Postoffice

as Second Class Matter.

Business— provision for picking up his chil-ren! Consistency, thou art a jewel —a very rare one. It's really our fault that trans-

.)ar'sit'on is such an item. Our children must be transported. The state law requires that they he transported if they live over two tures from the school, but here in Andover transportation is ex-tended to all over a mile and a half and to the younger children over a mile. Do you think that the school committee should stick to the two-mile limit and eliminate all the transportation for children living nearer than that? We do, but do you think the school com-mittee could get away with it? What a howl of criticism there would be! Of course you walked when you were youngsters some-times even farther than two miles —and the weather was just as bad, worse apparently, tn those days. But no, not today. We mustn't let the youngsters today walk. Of course, it's grand exercise—but, oh, no, they mustn't walk!

everybody would be better off, even Poland. What will Great Britain and France do now, even if they can crush Germany? Will the re-storation of Poland and the beat-ing into submission of Germany ac-complish a permanent peace? No, of course not. Germany won't stay down-trodden and shouldn't be ex-pected to. If she isn't down-trodden, there will be a greater chance that she will handle her own internal problem herself without having to have millions of men killed first. If she is down-trodden, there'll be an-other Hitler and more stanzas in Poland's Ouverture Solenelle. If the German people can see the na-tions' of the world willing to help her get back on her feet instead of trying to keep her down because of the old Hohenzollern-Bismarckian blunder, if the German people can see that they are being given a chance to earn three meals a day, they won't long stand for ruthless dictatorship. Hunger made them give Hitler his chance, and you can't blame them for that. One of our own states, in economic dis-tress, elected about as ruthless a man as Hitler to control its des-tinies, and a bullet ended that career. Even here in Massachusetts our depression days saw us elect-ing as Governoe' a man who was not far from the Hitler standard.

If the President really wants us to help preserve peace, he'll ad-dress a note to the warring pow-ers, and be a little more cagey in his phrasing than he has been. Those people over there are "mad," and when they're that way, it does no good to imply that one of them is more guilty than the other. The

surest way to get an arbitration or conciliation ,proposal rejected is to pass a little lecture along with the proposal. Back in the early 1900's., the Russian-Japanese war was ended up in Portsmouth, N. H. If the problem is handled right, a con-ference of the powers over here away from the sore spots might end this war and pave the way for economic justice for all, Poland and Germany included.

Cooling Off A series of alarming incidents

announced the change of address of John Grecoe and family from Binney street, Shawsheen, to Flor-ence street, Andover, last Monday ..beginning with a bonfire kin-

dled (source unknown) in the back seat of his car while it was in-noxiously parked outside the An-dover Press—pressmen swarmed from doors and windows to ex-tinguish the blaze...later they re-ported to John that "Maybe his Plymouth was a good car for burn-ing up the roads, but now it was just burning..." ....Maybe it's just an endless chain of jinx, but that same evening, about 10:15, a burg-lar alarm boomed out on Main street...a crowd gathered around to see what size of a burglar would be robbing "the biggest little jewelry store in the state"...no-body 'wanted to rob anything... Mr. Grecoe turned off the alarm and turned in...a busy, busy day...

Things have been humming in West Parish lately, too....the steeplejacks who have been beezily repairing the church steeple find that previous occupants are not too ready to move out...ah, yes, the bee is a hymenopterous insect.... But horses are different—Officers Stevens, McCarthy and O'Brien, Andover's mounted police, think so

anyway, as they enjoy a canter at Flint's riding stables. „Officers Stevens and McCarthy find their motorcycles' saddles more befitting —there were no casualties but no-body was very casual either...

Arthur Lewis told us a surpris-ing story about horses...someone ...be didn't say who...lifted two of them in 'his bare hands and car-ried them up the Grange stairs... must have been awfully straw-g... because the horses must have been awfully full....They supported the table all during the supper the other night without once whining for something to eat...

Dr. and Mrs. Lorentz Hansen and Whitney have returned from their trip to California where Joyce is to attend the University of Redlands... nothing special hap-pened...on the trip home there was a terrific cloudburst over the mountains and desert.. three trains were tied up...including the one upon which the Hansom were traveling...maybe it's hard to find a needle in a haystack, but hun-dreds of people found Needles, California... everyone piled out of the trains and (piled into stages which were to carry them to Selig-man, Arizona...when Whitney was looking for his baggage he found an unfamiliar suitcase marked An-dover, Mass...It belonged to Al-bert Lowe... they had quite a jolly reunion in the desert before each proceeded on his way...GAIr. Lowe went on to Texas... wait until he gets back home and hears about the local texas...oh, he is back?

.well, Father Divine has not ar-rived in town yet and according to the boiling over at the assei-sore' meeting he'd' be in-der-no good...

Muller will probably start the game at the signal-calling berth, with .Boucher as a possible starter. Haggerty at left half, Anderson at right half and Noyes at full will very probably make up the rest of the backfield.

Deyermond has at present a slight lead over Lindsay for right end. McMackin seems pretty cer-tain at right tackle, Collins will undoubtedly get the call at right guard, and captain MacLauchlan

"Penny A Meal" To Help Paint Church

"A penny a meal" is the unique way which the members of the Methodist church in Ballardvale have of helping to defray the ex-penses of the church. The boys of the Sunday school classes and several of the members built minia-ture green and white churches with a slot in the roof of a con-venient size for a penny to slip through. Each family has one of the banks and if they faithfully drop in "a penny a meal" for a month, then their names are put on the church honor roll. The larger the honor roll, the more certain becomes the possibility of having the church freshly painted for its ninetieth birthday in 1940.

—Harold Peters of Lowell street will leave Saturday to attend the American Legion Convention in Chicago.

COMMUTE BY

Neutrality Bill To Be League Topic

The Andover League of Women Voters will hold a special before-season luncheon meeting on Mon-day, October 2, at the Andover Country Club, to consider the all-absorbing question of American neutrality. Professor Rupert Emer-son, of the Department of Inter-national Relations of Harvard Uni-versity, will be the speaker. He will discuss the present neutrality bill, with its proposed amendments, and the effect of each of the pro-

posed measures on American neu-trality, on American economic af-fairs, and on the belligerents.

Professor Emerson has been a favorite speaker at the Schools of Foreign Affairs sponsored by the Massachusetts League of Women Voters in Cambridge, and there-fore his talk here should interest everyone concerned with the vital problem of American neutrality.

TWO BEERS AT $25 EACH Two beers in Medford had such

a hold-over effect on a Somerville truck driver on September 10 that he had to pay a $50 fine in Dis-trict court last Friday because officer David Gillespie had ascer-tained him driving at a high rate of speed when he reached An-dover. The officer told the court that the driver staggered and seemed to be in a fog, this suffi-cient evidence having replaced the method mentioned in today's Ten Years Ago column.
