T 8 & FALLACY OF LEISUIB

T« E CHAmMAN of the Na-tional leisure-Time Com-mittee, whatever that may

be, wants a Department of le is-ure in Washington and a Secre-tary of Leisure in the Cabinet.

"Just how well a Secretary of Leisure irould Ret along with the! Secretary of Labor is only one of the questions suggested by this interesting proposal," says the Detroll Free Press, adding, "what the country needs is not more leisure but more work. At the present moment, as the activity of the National Leisure-Time Com-

E shows, a number of people casting the leisure they

have by busving them-selves with projects for employ-ing a leisure that may never come.

"Work is not all manual labor. The idea that it is, is at the bot-tom of much misunderstandinf and largely accounts for the de-mand for more leisure. A good deal of our present economic and soda l maladjustment is due to o a r having worked too much, a* a nation, at some things and not enough at others. The remedy is not more leisure but better baU anced industry*.

"The Joy of life is in accomplish* ment. That means work. Wheth-e r one works with his hands or with his head it is all the same.

New Bank Is Named SCOTCH LASSIES „ „ . N . WILL DANCE AT Mate savings Dank ISUSHOWBOAT

Wins Renown as Scots Dancer

Site of Lowell State Bank Chosen As Location for the New Institu-tion by State Banking Dept.

Word was received in Lowell this Thursday morning from the Michigan Slate Banking Depart-ment that the site of the Lowell State Bank had been chosen as the home for the new consoli-dated bank.

Lowell's new bank will be call-ed the "State Savings Bank." The name was deflnitely decided upon at a joint meeting of com-mittees from the City State Bank and the Lowell State Bank.

As stated in last week's Ledger.

The new bank will have ten directors as follows: B. VanDyke. Harry Day. H. L. Weekes, l e e launpkin, Wm. T. Condon, C. H. Bunciman, P. C. Peckham, H. J. Englchardt, John Freeman and E D. McQueen.

The consolidated bank is to come under the charter of the City State Bank, which will in crease its capital stock from $25.tNMI to 950,000 in order to

name changed from City State Bank to "State Savings Bank."

As soon as ail details of the merger are completed and the State Banking Department so cer-tifies, the license will be issued by the Federal Beserve Banking System.

No definite dale for the reopen-ing of the new bank can be an-nounced at this writing, but it can be stated that such opening will occur as quickly as possible.

escape irork altogether is a dan-gerous fallacy, as human history has repeatedly proved. The frui t of shorter working hours ought nol to be greater opportunity for loafing but rather an opportunity to broaden the field of conscious, self-directed endeavor to include mental and spiritual activities."

THE DANGER OF WATTING

1IFE can play foul jokes on people sometimes. In a

J large middle-western d t y there was a grocer, who worked very hard and saved his money religiously so that his old would be provided for .

For 50 years he stack to f r o c e r y store. He worked and saved too hard to have very much fun, but he was looking for-w a r d to the day when he could retire. Then he would have his fun . He would have money and leisure, and he would make up f o r the years of hard work.

Well, he finally retired—mon-ey in the bank, an assured in-come, a nice home, everything h e needed. "Now," he told his friends, T am going to enjoy life."

And just 24 hours after he had retired he dropped dead.

If a novelist put that in a book w e wouldn't believe it. We would say that things don't real-ly happen that way, and we would accuse the novelist of straining too hard for an ironic effect.

But life lakes queer twists thai a re nol permitted to good fiction. It all happened, precisely as it is described here: and all w t can do is admit that there are times when wisdom and pru-dence are horribly confounded.

As a mailer of fact, this sort of thing happens fairly often—in a little different way. Not many people who have prepared for a carefree and leisurely old age die just as they begin to taste their reward, of course, but they gel cheated out of their dues. just the same. They find that leisure, after a lifetime of hard work, is boredom. They find that they have forgotten how to play, l l i ey find that the empty hours are depressing because they do nol know what to do with them. They find them-selves feeling that they have been put upon the shelf, and they grow 10 years older in 12 months.

Perhaps we aren't meant to be too cautious. Deferring one's happiness to the end, when one will have time and the means to lake it, is risky. Fo r most of us that gilded tomorrow will never dawn. If we don't get our hap-piness along the way we shall never get it at all.

That is a lesson worth learn-ing. The real joy of living is not something that can be bank-ed and drawn on at some future dale. It has to be taken from day to day. It is compounded usually of many little ex-periences. The hare of an au-tumn afternoon over a flaming woodland; the confiding smile of a child, nestling in one's arms fo r a fairy tale; the smell of a clear wind as one trudges along a beach by blue water ; the sud-den revelation of tenderness in the eyes of a loved one; the vanishing strain of a bit of mu-sic—of such thinge is a satisfy-ing life fabricated. You cannot postpone them, you cannot wail for them. You must get them as y ou go along, o r you will miss them entirely.—Standard, Excel-sior Springs, Missouri.

RI'BBEB FROM GAS

THE DISCOVERY by the re-search laboratory of the Du Pont Company of a way to

make a substitute for rubber out of gas is one more proof of the value of pure science. Only chem-ists familiar with every phase of complex science would have dreamed of the possibility that you can heat coal and limestone and from calcium carbide thus obtained produce acetylene gas by adding water, and then by ad-ding salt get a new chemical, chloroprene, which coagulates into a substance which, while not real rubber, makes just as good automobile tires as robber does.

Natural rubber is so cheap now that it doesnt pay to use this new product. But if an-other war should send rubber up to $2 a pound, as the last one , , • , . did, or even an eighth of that ^ •• p " . ? price, the United Stales would * o r k B u l 1 m u s t

on $772iM for the year ended July 1? Do you know that 774 patrons checked out 12,753 books and 2342 magazines lasl year? Do you knoM- that the number of books in the library totals 4.133. and that only 47 M-ere added lasl year? Do you knoM- lhal the li-brarian repaired 91 books in her spare time?

I oM-ell has a library it can well be proud of. It is run com-petently and courteously on an amazingly IOM- budget. The rooms are given rent free by Ernes? Graham of Chicago. The school dislrict and the village conln-bule equally- for its maintenance, but do not give the same sum each year. The past year the library received S1075 and tbe librarian. Miss Audie Post, re-ported a balance left of $305.

Yet this balance, M-hich should go for neM- books and magazine subscriptions, must be kept on hand, for the IOM U is not certain

hoM- much money can be alloled the library for Ihe coming year. Besides, extensive repairs mus! be made on the furnace before M-inter.

WITHOUT CONTROL?

The National Education associ-ation is reported to have asked for a federal appropriation ol half a billion dollars for public schools, but with the claim that such a grant should not involve federal control over the schools.

Does the association know of any federal grant in the past that did nol carry some measure of control wilh it? Has not the his-tory of federal largess been linked almost inevitably with federal control? And do the edu-cators now desire to give the fed-eral government an opening wedge to future control of the educational system?

Unless members of the associ-ation are ready to accept federal dictation and control in educa-tional affairs they are treading exceedingly dangerous ground.— Grand Rapids Press.

marriage to Mr. George Uartlelt in 1874. He had been farming in Michigan so he brought his bride back with him and they settled in Bowne.

After five years they sold the farm and planned lo return to Canada. Mrs. Bartlett went back lo visit he r parents and in a few-weeks received a letter from her husband that he was interested in another farm in South Lowell. She was willing to return, so he bought the farm east of the South Lowell church. There they lived, with the exception of a wintei spent in North Carolina until Mr. Bartlett's death in 1909.

In 1911 Mrs. Bartlett moved to Lowell and lived in the house now owned by E. C. Foreman. Three years later she moved to Grand Rapids and lived with her sister-in-law. They made a trip one winter lo Florida and passed four months in the sun. About twelve years ago Mrs. Bartlett re-turned to Lowell and built her-self a house on Monroe Ave., where she now lives with her niece, Miss Edna Allen.

Of her four children, only a son. Howard, is now living. He is on a part of the old farm. Mrs. Bartlett enjoys reading and does considerable needlework.crochel-ing and piecing. She is a member of the Methodist church.

Remember When When one couldn't buy nuts al-

ready shelled, but had to crack them one's-self? The usual meth-od was lo place an iron flatiron on Ihe knees, flat side up, and crack the nuts on it wilh a ham-mer.

When men's shirts had to be pulled over the head, instead of being put on like a coat?

When those who had just bought a new car usually found an excuse for tooting the horn as they passed down Main street?

When women baked their own bread instead of buying it at the grocery store or bake shop?

When Lowell saloonists were heaviest contributors toward the Fourth of July celebrations and orcasionaly succeeded in having them on the 3rd. so they could keep their front doors open? When the celebration was on the 4th. side or back doors were used and it seldom happened that ar-rests were made for violation of Ihe holiday closing law.

"Life" will be the subject of the Lesson-Serman Sundav, July 22,

Among the Bible citations is this passage (Matt. 7: 13. 1-4): "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to de-struction. and many there be which go in thereat; Because strait is the gate, and narrow is thew ay, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find It."

Correlative passages in the Christian Science textbook In-clude Ihe following (p. 202): "The days of our pilgrimage will multiply instead of diminish, when God's kingdom comes on ear th; for the true way leads to IJfe instead of to death, and earthly experience discloses the Unity of error and Ihe infinite capacities of Truth, in which God gives man dominion over all Ihe earth."

Four hundred and four new-farm homes are planned within the next three years according to Ihe federal farm housing survey of eight counties in iow-er Michi-gan. which was supervised by home economics extension spe-cialists of (Michigan State College.

The total cost of construction is expected to be $271,051. The sur-vey shows also that $280,127 worth of repairs in these counties are expected to be made within the year. Five times as many w-ere not interested in borrowing money for construction or repairs as wished to borrow.

Out of 18,010 householders, on-ly eighteen do not belong to the white race. Of the total number G8 per cent ow-n their own homes.

Of the types of material used for the homes, the survey showed two sod houses. 165 log cabins, 782 brick and 283 stone houses. One-third of the houses w-ere found to be more than fifty years old.

(Householders apparently value their neighbors' opinions as 4,756 houses need painting on the in-side, while only 3,152 require paint on the outside.

Five times as many driven wells were found as dug wells. Kerosene lights are used by 11,-750, while 5.345 have electric lights, and 843 use electric stoves. The number of farm homes equip ped with furnaces is 3,594.

Here is a design charming enough for a summer dance frock, of printed voile or net. A taffeta slip is good style with sheer dresses, for ladies rustle now when they move. The slip is not given with the pattern. TTie full double sleeves and pointed insets on bodice and skirt are the interesting points of this design w-hich is extreme-ly simple and easy to make.

BRIEF SPORT TOGS FOR REAL ACTION

Tbe sbirtwailt dress with a skirt "and an extra pair of pants" Is a timely suggestion for tbe girl who baiii any aort of excuse for abed-ding her skirt. Shorts are accepted by tbe right people even though they are so often abused by tbe wrong people.

It's cotton time again. Among tbe many kinda of cotton wbicb are blgb-iighted is seersucker, a type wbicb makes its entaance In aome-tblng miraculously like a disguise.

There aeems to be a brisk de-mand for plain cottona, either white or pastel, by way of cbange. Tbe rank and flle of shirtwaist dresses are made of striped abirtlnga, cot-ton or allk. Many of these open cen-ter front, and fasten with pearl but-tons. The shorta beneath are either aeparate, or are one with tbe shirt, in wbicb case tbe skirt is separate All of which makes things easier for tbe laundress and more prac-tical for everyone.

THE LOWELL (MICH.) LEDGER and ALTO SOLO, THI RSI)AY, JULY 19, 1934

Take Steps Early W e P r i n t To Prevent T-B.

FIVE

An efforl is being made to learn what has happened lo more than 2500 students who have had positive tuberculin re-actions since the Grand Hapids Anli-tubercylosis Society started its intensive study of tubercul-osis in the 'teen age in 193II. The 314 cases of childhood and sus-picious luberculosis which are being kept under observation as a mailer of prevention and study ore being visited during June and July by Miss Frances I. Will-iams, the Society's field nurse, and if any of this number are found lo be losing weight or appetite, complaining of unreasonable fat-igue, nervousness, stomach trou-ble or a long continued cold they are immediately sent for an xray of the chest. If medical super-visionis found necessary reports vision is found necessary reports RfOent studies by the National Tuberculosis Association and x-ray specialists have proven that minimal or early tuberculosis, when il most easily cured, can only be discovered by on xroy picture. Specialists have olso learned that in this early stage the symptoms may be so slight that the patient is unconscious ot illness, and at this stage the phy-sician can hear liitle or nothing in the lungs through his stethe-scope.

Home calls arc also beina made by Miss Laura Wood, a volunteer worker, on a large group of stu-dents who had positive tests which showed infection b u ! showed nothing on their xra> plates. The Research committee of the society. Dr. L. J. Schermer-horn, chairman, feels that, sincc luberculosis is sown in the bodies of children like corn and wheal, and frequently grows into a full sized, dangerous disease during youth, il is important lo know what has happened lo ths large group since they were lost testeil and xrayed.

Bug Has Double To Fool Public

False Chinch-Bug Makes Farm-ers Believe Entomoligsts Are Wrong on Insect Lore

Movie stars have doubles who perform dangerous feats foi them and il now appears that in-sects have learned that feat as the chinch-bug has a double which has created a good deal of anxiety in the (State and has distracted attention from the real villain.

Farmers from counties as wide-ly separated as ('.ass and Men-ominee have sent specimens of Ihe false chinch-bug lo the ento-mology department in the belief that this insect was the real trouble maker. The specimens were sometimes accompanied by a letter suggesting that the ento-mology department was wrong about the plants that the chinch-bug eats.

Entomologists claim that the true chinch-bug eats only plants belonging lo Ihe grass family and farmers had found these false chinch-bugs eating alfalfa and sugar beets. II appeared that the hug experts had slipped a little in their diagnosis until the confu-sion in the insect's identity was cleared up.

The false chinch-bug is a na-tive, only appearing in destruc-tive numbers in exceptionable seasons. It sometimes causes ser-ious local damage but is never a wholesale destroyer like the pest which it resembles. If the false chinch-bug becomes numerous enough lo start migrating it can be destroyed w t h the same bar-rier traps used for the chinch-bug.

It was easily traced, as the diaries ended abruptly on the twenty-ninth of September of the year of the drowning. On that day Doctor Bracebrldge had ceased bis records, never to open them again.

Payne turned to the approximate date of Doctor Bracebrldge's second marriage, and found this entry:

"Mrs. naskell Is a dear woman-most lovable. I would not be sur-prised If after our marriage, Ber-enice did grow to love her as her own mother. The child Is only four."

The first mention of Gordon Has-kell rather surprised Wilton:

"Well, he arrived at five to take up bis new duties; and I must con fess I am disappointed In him, though whether this first feeling will wear off, and a heartier one take Its place, remains to be seen."

Two weeks later: "Jethro announced lo me that he

disliked Gordon Haskell, and did not Intend to be his student I remonstrated with him. but the lad, with all his fine qualities. Is at times bot-headed and obstinate. Althea. Norman and Isabel show this aversion to Gordon; apparent-ly only little Berenice likes the p'H)r fellow. She allowed him to take her on his knee yesterday and hear her say her letters. Poor baby I Ed-ucation at present Interests her but slightly."

Six months later: 4'1 Intend to appoint Gordon co-

guardian with Mrs. Bracebrldge. In case of my death, over the five children. I shall, of course, pro-vide for him. too; though not In the measure I do for the others. I ara sorry the youngsters hate hlra so, for it leads to a scries of mi-nor outbreaks between them. Pri-vately, I think (Jordon a rather sav-age teacher; some men are like that - too Impatient of a pupil's Um Itatlons I I have asked him to be more gentle and more nonchalant with his scholars. Children as • rule reepect and like people who are rather casual toward them. The intense adult Is their abhor-rence. Perhaps they know better than we do that a rage for re shaping life Is not according to the sweet reasonableness of the divine policy. Gordon Is ambitious | I doubt greatly If he cares to bury himself long In Lostland academy; so tha children and their arch-foe

may be separated naturally.*1

In the laat year. Gordon Has-kell'i name appeared very seldom. Doctor Bracebrldge evidently bad other things to worry blm—an epi-demic of measles in the school, and a series of thefts, particularly one large sum from the locked drawer of a desk In the library. In another place was written:

M1 am afraid It Is Balder; a sul-len. disagreeable fellow, but as be does twice the work, when be chooses, of an ordinary man. It doesn't seem right to dismiss blm merely from prejudice or the sua plclon of something we can't prove. I've given ap trying to recouclle my incomparable four and Gordon. That, too, is • temperamental mat-ter, and with such chemistry, one does well not to meddle."

"Poor man. It would have been better If 70a bad meddled," Wilton rafltcted. Tfcoee boys and ^ r l s

probably diagnosed Haskell's char acter belter than you did I"

It was nearly dawn when he con-cluded bis examinations of tbe di-aries, which, on the whole, bad yielded Utile meat for his theories to feed on.

When be knew Berenice belter be might some day ask ber aboul the will Bul be shrank from an an-due and perhaps lo her mind an nnjustlfiable curiosity. And be did not wish to fasten In her mind any suspicion of which ber guardian was the object

Berenice was as beautiful as an angel, be thought tired with tbe approach of dawn, too tired to think of rare similes and new terms.

"Oh, I ara loo tired to sleep. I think I'll steal a march on Arthur and go down to that old church."

It was glorious, walking down on this last day of September, with the red maples coming up like gren-adiers from the valley under vast volleys of sunrise; and the academy a black-purple cloud on the hill be-hind blm. The red bright sunlight was on the walls of the deserted village as he reached I t

He entered the church, and was soon on tbe belfry stairs, which creaked and groaned beneath bis weight When he reached the land-ing he looked along all tbe exposed rafters for a key. But no key could he find.

Descending to the church again, he found a key sticking In the keyhole of an old closet In the vestry, and went up the belfry stairs again to try It on the locked door. It fitted snugly, and though It turned the lock with difficulty. It served the purpose. He found himself In a room with four windows facing to the four points of the compass; and absolutely nothing In tbe place bul an old Christmas tree still nailed to Its square base of green painted wood. Nearly all Its branches had been stripped or torn from It; bul enough were lefl to Indicate Ils character with tbe aid of a few bits of tinsel, of festive silver and gold. A Christmas tag was still dangling from one of the branches, with a name written on I t He examined It more closely. The name was "Althea Bracebrldge." He mused

•over this poor little memorial some moments—a pathetic signpost point-ing back to some long-ago Christ-mas celebration In this church. But why had the tree been carried up and stored away in the belfry room

But Why Had the Tree Been Car-ried Up and Stored Away In the Belfry Room?

—Instead of thrown out of doors? "Perhaps the boys got hold of II and carried It up here to form a part of their endless Ingenuities; I think I'll take the card. Berenice might be glad to have It"

He untied It carefully. He was about to put It In bis pocket when be saw that on the back of II was the dale of the celebration of which this was perhaps, the old memorial. Calculating back, he made It pre-cisely the Christmas before the ac-cident

"Bul this church must have been deserted then.'' he thought "May-be they reopened It for a Christmas celebration. To what had this lit-tle card been attached? A book? A bottle of perfume? A box of candy? And bad Althea liked ber present?"

He tried to picture the scene-tbe old church with the pale winter sunshine streaming In and some one in tbe choir singing. "Hark, the Herald Angels"; sod the youngsters

excited over their gifts and tmpa-tieut for the exercises lo end. And had Berenice been there? As nrual when he thought of her, horizons began to open and the sky to clear. "Mrs. Denver—bless her I—told her to marry. Bul what of poor me; with so Utile laid up for a wl fe f

Be relocked the door and replaced the key In the vestry.

Janet was strolling In tbe grounds of the academy when he re-entered them, and waved to him in hor usual friendly way, making no comment when he Joined ber 00 bis early excursions.

"1 think we did very well last night," she observed; "we really took Berenice's mind from the an-niversary."

"Tha trouble it—there's a perpet-ual anniversary In that old aadamy

as long as tliuse wax tlgures are there."

"They're haunting — queer, un-canny thlr.gs—like something living on long after Its time. Sometimes this place seems like a dream to me. Yet it has an odd cliHrm. t o o -those wakings In the quiet morning light—that soleinn hall with the pic-tures of the old pn>sldcnts; a princi-pal so fond of Howerd that be keeps his hyacinth bulbs always bloom-ing."

"Yes. You're right. II has c h a r m -bow glowing red the old bricks are!"

"Everything glitters today. See Berenice's hair In the sun—It's like flame."

They both looked towards ber as she came lightly down the path, calling to them, pulling her fluffy white wrap around her.

"A great day for our walk," she saluted them. "You are out early."

"1 went to the church." "What did you find there?" "I'll tell you later—It's quite i

story." He did not think It the time to

show ber the card, particularly as he saw Haskell and Balder emerg-ing from the greenish shadows of the basement Both looked to-wards the group; then, exchang-ing some words, separated. Haskell approached Berenice with self-con-sciousness slways In his manner; as If be must be perpetually nn on guard — warding away even friendliness and pleasant words.

"You ara walking again today?" "Yes I Will you Join us?" "Why should I walk over these

bills?" "Will you go up the ravine with

ns?" "You know I never go up tbe

ravine. II Is loo exhausting. How-ever, Il must be beautiful up there now, with the scarlet maples."

"Yes, they're blood red," Wilton said. "I've never seen such Intensity of red."

Haskell put his hands over his eyes. "This sun fills my eyes with red."

That afternoon the four were stepping together over tbe bills; their happiness singularly like that of creatures let out of cages. Wil-ton told Berenice of reading the diary.

"How long did your stepmother live afler the deaths of your broth ers and sisters?"

"Fully eight years, 1 think; I'm nol sure. She was a blessed wom-an; always kind to me. Even my brothers aud sisters liked her, though they didn't like—" She broke off. "Ob, well. It's all past and gone."

"May 1 ask you If you can remem-ber when the old church down there was last used?"

"Long before I was born—about 1880. I think."

"And was It ever opened for Christmas celebrations—after lhal?"

"Oh. nol" "Are you sure?" "Quite sure I Bul father used to

have celebrations for the neighbors' children In the old academy, and they all received preseuts from the tree. I only faintly remember the last one ever held—the Christmas before the accident II was very gay. We had a beautiful tree."

"That tree Is still In existence." She looked at him Incredulously,

her eyes half fearfuL "How do you know that?"

"I went to the belfry room this morning; found a key lhal fitted the door. Tbe room was absolutely bare except for an ancient tree on Ils wooden base, painted green, as usual. Bits of tinsel still clung to the dry branches, and this little card was lied lo one of them with a red ribbon. Can you read the writing? The Ink is very pale."

''Allheal How strange. Why, I have a card Just like It, saved all these years. How on earth did lhal tree get up there?"

She turned, holding out the card. ["See what Mr. Payne found."—and | she told them the story, ber eyes brilliant, ber cheeks flushed as If the Incident had excited her. "Not everything Is lost in lostland."

"And some things beyond price are found." Wilton relleried.

"Here we rest" he called at length from an eminence where he and Berenice stood tall and straight against the honey-colored sky.

The elevation commanded all tbe rugged country about them. They could not see the academy, and Wil-ton was glad of this. Berenice seemed mure than content seated OD a fallen tree trunk, her bands clasped aboul her knees. They were rather old-fashioned, tbe four of r.hem—Berenice because of bei seclusion—the other three for the reason lhal life had presented se rlous problems to them—problem-of livelihood and education.

I think that as the old Idea of the stern father and stemer Rchoo]. master which forced rhildren Into artlflclallties and insinreritles was undoubtedly wrong, such extremes as our reader refers to. which are advanced by sonjp ednmtnrs today, are even more danseroua

All human belncs need tbe pow-er of restra'nt And ft wems to me the danger today is not In forrlm: upon children too much restraint but too little. For decades wm the trend of Ideas among parents aad educators has been more and more toward allowing children even- pos-sible freedom of expression and de-velopment Thwartlne and orer-strictness with children Is pretty much a thing of the past And a thoughtful observer of the modern scene Is more likely to be fearful of the other extreme.

Not only in the creat crises In life, but In Uie little thlnjrs of every day. we need the power of control and restraint The f»ersoii who was allowed In childhood to say and d" exactly as he felt at all times is not likely to be h desirable compan-ion or a valuable member of the KO-rial group. Therefore be Is not likely to be happy. Restraint and control are power. And it seems to me that any systen wfi'rh would eliminate these from the tralnlnr of children would rob them of their most Important weapon in manfer Ing their environment and fulfill Ing the best of their possibilities,
