1 i i K. SeDt. twhat tricked us into beginning to believe our warmest days ywere behind us? we feel we've been duped. v. Three pertecUy beastly (as iitue rawine joxmson might say) enervating days! tncuy nonsense We're very much afraid there's 'ho spontaneity about the column scrtDOiings uus weeic.

j.nia is omy ths "zeenteenth" man tag go of it The old heat wave is pounding mercury up to the tune of I daresay 100 out doorsdegrees. And our head is beating: an accompanying: tattoo Um mmmm mmmm But we've pledged ourself to write the column whether in the mood or not hhhhh! This self disciplin ing is rather costly (Well, we've made no promise that we'd publish everything we write, how ever. Something cue ior wnicn you might be profoundly grateful!) Did we see the clis elcip ecipl we can't even spell eclipse; now you know Well Ip, anyhow, we saw it. And, likewise, in creased our vocabulary by four or was it slxr new. (to us, at least) astronomical tongue twisters, which we shall have no earthly use for until 1963.

Or Is it 2022? Shucks! What's the difference we (editorial ly, at any rate) won't know any thing about it" However, for those who might, '63 will be the next "eclipse; 2022 the next totality in 'these parts tell us we're all wet, and we'll agree with you. HI s'y there, Mebs, switch on that electric fan And thank the man for us who invented it. Or this is all the columning we'd do this week! Off to the Shore But we're slightly ahead of our 'story. The trip to the shore was as un expected as the possibility of a run "up to Atwater seemed remote to us. We had gone up to Marion's to play cards and meet the Wheatley sisters, Nannette and Lucy Belle.

tt Owensboro, Ky, who were visit lng their sister Mrs. Lennert Roberts (erstwhile Antonla) and were that evening gathered about the bridge tables in the Turner living room with John Hester.

Then downstairs to listen to renditions by Nannette Then. too. Mrs.

Turner is an arresting book reviewer Not to mention the tact that everyone present insisted upon Marlon and John executing their little duet and Marlon did oblige by singing the pretty theme song which these "two composed together, and which is being broadcast, and played by TCarlie Gaines' orchestra at the HShow Boat also which Vance SChavis had recorded for his treasure chest bringing Marion's within range although the road between here and Greensboro is a mighty long one!

N. for free booklet "Baby's Welfare." j3 Heavenly feze! Wonder ish for all his "sophistication All of which brings us to a rather late hour and the young hostess' belief that we'd be much safer snuggled up in one of the twins, in one "third floor front. Ana anyhow we wanted to talk about thinn About "things," not persons i (Altho we. did learn that Dr. r.

U. stuons nas precisely the same initials as some one else weve met!) Where Are We? 'N so we talked until our theme was exhausted, then we read news papers and magazines Medical, and Soviet Russia, and saw where Theodore Dreiser predicts (altho it takes no great prophet any longer to foretell the trend of the nations' mind) a war a description of which is beyond all power of hu man conception. Frances "Franz Josef" was merely the faint sound of a tocsin struck from afar but7 its echoes will ring down into the first cannon's mouth! And all of this is forecast if and "in case!" But there are no "ifs" and "in cases." it's just a question of time, and a comparatively short time at that! "When self the wav ering balance shake, 'tis rarely right adjusted." until some grand and complete upheaval reduces all alike to a state of exhaustion, if not insensibility Then we may regain consciousness and our bal ance and "see things aright." and set them right! If for no other reason (that is. discounting Japan's imperialistic ambitions, and India's state of "passive resistance," and sundry other con tributary factors and abetting forces) it would be perfectly human for the rest of the nations to resent America's com plaisent and smooth countenance. Its face without a scar! Un less, of course, you except its Al Capones, its Lindbergh scandal, its bitter prejudices.

Its lynchings, its polluted political its B. EL warfare, its state of utter dejec tion among the unemployed But these are all self inflicted. It has suffered none of the tortures and degradations of the; war torn territories. Still its own internal strife is rendering it physically, mentally and morally incapable of combatting a sudden outside on and i of building up a proper defense mechanism Certainly the foreign powers are not blind. Theyve been making visits to this country those shrewd, polished diplomats and ministers of good will Those darker skin ned statesmen upon whom white America looks down from a lofty (but now crumbling peak).

Well, we awoke Sunday morning to chin for a couple more hours before breakfasting on flaky hot biscuits and light, fluffy muffins and wot not of Mrs. Turner's own recipes and having' Dr. Turner suddenly suggest a trip to the shore Apparently, for him to suggest, is to act upon it; for, up he went for his sport Oxfords et cetera this being about the wind up of his vacation Meanwhile, during our early morning confab, Marion had unearthed a HtUe quotation; she had jotted down and thinking we might like it offered us a copy. (The gesture spoke for itself, and sufficed for us!) Come to think of It, it, might' fit right in here! i We've taken the liberty to caption it: TO A FRIEND "Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort, of safe with a person, having neither, weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out. chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take them! and sift them, keep what is worth' keeping; and.

with a breath of 'kindness. diow tne rest away. But we haven't left for the shore We're off. We made good time going aown and better coming back Wending our way through traffic along Indiana avenue, we encountered the veteran newspaperman Thomas W. Swann who "tipped us off" the Upshurs were returning from Europe.

Going down to the beach we encountered and met Mrs, Charles Shipley, of Baltimore: Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence Christmas and greeted once again the Henry Lindseys whom we met when in Pittsburgh and who were guests of the Christ mases: Dr. Edward Scott and his two cute youngsters, and Dr. Chauncey Harllee.

And the pedestrians doing their best to get; squashed completely under roving cars standing in the middle of the street squinting through smoked glass as if you couldn't see the show just as well from the sidewalk. Hah! Some people! One thing the eclipse did for us was to tangle our phone wires so many wrong numbers! Imagine dialing 7893 and getting 3360! If that isn't tangling, we don't know which is! Things are skidding along as well as can be expected.

i Had a grand piece of luck Sunday was the guest of the Mc Curdy's on a trip to Maine, to attend the Bah'ai conference. Hilda Proctor was along too and George Goodman of the Urban League. It was our first contact with Bahaism so we list.od well and learned quite a bit. The group has a large tract of land up there, with an Inn and several cottages, as well as a Fellowship house that is just too ducky for words. We Just fell in lov9 with its antique furnishings and the natural wood paneling and the huge fireplace, yellow curtains and casement windows.

There are I half dozen or so bedrooms upstairs over." the main room and a huge porch overlooking the White mountains and a gorgeous deep blue lake. A very wealthy convert to Bahaism left the whole thing to the cause and each year the members come there from all over the world to confer and exchange thoughts. During the afternoon meeting, various members of the Boston group spoke as well as a few visitors who were also making their first trip to the conference. Among the speakers were Dr. T.
