Women's Viewpoints Edna St. Vincent Milky: Portrait Of Protest In The 1920's Folklife Gaps Found In State (Continued from Page B-l) 4 li ft i I If1 If All i1' si; 11 I kMivj J' survey, undertaken by Mrs. J. Douglass Shepperd, a Baltimore member of the commission, seemed to bear this out. Most of the responding libraries indicated a need for a bibliography that could serve as a guide in ordering materials already existing on folklore in the State of Maryland.

Several suggested a loan collection from which they could borrow. Both surveys point up the gap between need and availability in a field of study which has become an important 20th Century academic discipline. In describing the folklife studies movement, Don Yodcr, chairman of the department of folklore and folklife at the University of Pennsylvania, said: Shared Roots A cricket set me to thinking of Edna St. Vincent Millay. Somewhere in the flower bed I was weeding there was loud and raucous singing and when I finally found the source it was no bigger than a carpet tack a little fellow swaying on a blade of grass and singing of summer's ending.

There is a Millay sonnet about the "insistent cricket in the grass" and I went into the house to look it up. It's one from her book, "Mine the Harvest," which was published after her death in 1950 and it is suitable to this time of year, speaking of "Tranquility at length, when autumn comes." "Autumn stays the marching year one moment," she says and that's a time to "compute, refute, amass, catalogue, question, contemplate and see." Her Role In this time of violence and unrest and protest it would be good if our young people could pause one autumnal moment and study the life of Edna St. Vincent Millay, Pulitzer prize-winning poet, spokesman for the liberated young people of the 1920's, marcher and protester. ans, folklife school at Queen's University in Belfast, has made the statement: "Nothing less than the whole of the past is needed to explain the The study commission on Maryland folklife would like to hear from any persons, societies or institutions having existing collections. Correspondence should be addressed to George A.

There will be a cosmetics demonstration. Proceeds from the event will go toward a Christmas party for the underprivileged children of the Sinai-Druid area. By Celestine Sibley Women'i New Service) In my youth I didn't know much about Miss Millay except that her poem, "God's World," written when she was 20, was in our high school "Literature and Life" book and I thought it was perfectly beautiful. (Miss Millay herself reportedly wearied of hearing about that particular poem, as she did the one that brought her first national recognition, "Renascence," published in 1912.) What our "Literature and Life" book didn't tell us was that Miss Millay was one of the young Bohemians who lived in Greenwich Village, fought for women's right to vote, hobnobbed with Socialists and other political radicals, supported strikers of various kinds and spoke out for independence and free-thinking. Sacco and Vanzettl were names to us, but to Edna St.

Vincent Millay they were martyrs to be fought for, to picket for and to go to jail for. The two, Nicola Sacco and Bartolo-meo Vanzetti, Italian anarchists, had been arrested, tried and convicted of murder and robbery of a paymaster and his guard in South Braintree, in 1920. For six years their execution was stayed by legal fights and reinvestigations on the ground that the two were victims of postwar anti-radical hysteria and a prejudiced judge. In the end, led by the Ameri can Civil Liberties Union, young liberals began to demonstrate to save the convicted men. They picketed the Massachusetts state house and among the placard-carrying pickets was the fragile little red-headed poet, Millay.

Her banner proclaimed, "If these men are executed, justice is dead in Massachusetts." The poet went to jail with a dozen or so others and her husband, the Dutch Importer, Eugen Jan Boissevain, dug up bail for her and several of their impecunious friends. Sacco and Vanzetti were ultimately executed, but not before Millay had written a poem called "Justice is Dead" and read it aloud to a group in the shadow of Old North Church and not before she had made a final verbal and then written appeal to the governor. Youth's Tumult She was one who spoke often of the "tumult" in the minds of young people who saw through the hypocrisies of their elders. But, ah, Edna St. Vincent Millay, born a year before my mother was, would be 77 years old today and while sure to espouse the ideals of today's young people, I wonder what she would think of the "The chief value of folklife studies is that its data show us the range of human thought, more basically perhaps than history, literature and other already accepted studies.

"In showing us what life was like before urbanization and industrialization, we are shown the long roots of the life that we share. E. Estyn Ev Hellenic Holly Ball Planned Mrs. James C. Hamilos, left, and Mrs.
