youth's heart never really grows old. A friend has sent me beautiful tribute to A fellow member ol the Century Club in New York, written by Edward Streeter, the writer. Such was the heart and splr.lt of A. Sheldon Fennover, to whom Mr. Streeter.

simply and sincerely, paid tribute both to the artist and the man. Mr. Pennoyer lived the philosophy of youth and spread it out wherever he went. Said Mr. Streeter: "He only saw a good world, a world of beauty, populated by fascinating people, all of whom he assumed were his potential friends and in all of whom he was interested." Sheldon Pennoyer was an eternal optimist.

He distributed himself literally gave himself away. He laughed at failure. "What do you mean it can't be done," he would say. "Why, man alive, that's excitine. It's got to be done!" Who wouldn't want to be a friend to such a man? There is nothing more inspiring than to cultivate youth's echo, and see that it is a bell in the heart, like the old town crier, to record that all is well.

All is well if we have sufficient faith and belief. There is something in the human heart that is undefeatable. Discover it and you will have discovered the secret of a happy" and successful life. Being a later member of the club to which Sheldon Pennoyer belonged, I never met him, but the kindly spirit of this club is so pronounced that to become a member is to be silently honored.

Hoover triUon In R. C. Course: Thirty- Railroad Friday observed the 125th and Fa nnan families are also two third at the n.zn street ann.ver=arv of" its founding in the buried in this cemetery The last ular branch oi the Wilson family. Wilson, the father of Isabella Maria, was an autocratic of the old school, and felt that he knew what was best for his family in every respect. He was pleased when his two elder daughters married into old, outstanding county families, but for his younger daughter he was more ambitious.

Apparently he had no idea that Isabella Maria had already met the man of her choice, a poor young doctor just beginning the practice of his profession at Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. Knowing that her family would not approve the girl was to the habit of meeting her lover in a grove of trees about one-half mile from her father's house. By some miracle or other no word of these trysts ever reached the ears of her parents. Elected To Congress In the fall of 1322 James Wilson was elected to Congress, from this district, and afterwards was twice re-elected. While living in Washington, D.

he met George Lowry, a wealthy, but elderly merchant of Georgetown. The two men must have taken to each other for the Hon. James Wilson soon came to the conclusion that the well-to-do merchant was the perfect husband for his younger daughter. What matter if he was more than twice her age such little details were unimportant when compared to wealth and position. On Monday, October 14, 1833, the following announcement appeared in-the "Adams Centinel." Married, Thursday moring, October 1S33, by the Rev.

William Paxton, D.D., Mr. George Lowrie, merchant, of Washington City, to Miss Isabella Maria, daughter of James Wilson, of Fairfield, Adarns County, Pennsylvania. "Majestic beauty never looks so gay, As on the morning of the wedding day, Triumphant virtue, in larger circle New graces adds and every charm improves. 1 How Isabella Maria Wilson was brought to see the wisdom of her father in the matter of choosing a husband is not known. The fact remains she gave up the man of her own choice, bowed to her father's will, and made a loveless marriage.

After the marriage George Lowry (Lowrie) and his bride went to live in his home at Georgetown. The marriage was, to all outward appearance, a success. However, Isabella Maria Lowry never forgot the young doctor, and mourned him unceasingly. Gradually this came to effect her health and a few years after her marriage she died, tradition tells us, "of a broken 1 The notes on this story will be continued next week.

ATOMIC TESTS Communist Deceit Should Be Ignored; Stop Decision A Question For Scientists THE AIR WAVES quaver with moans of commentators. Russia, they mournfully agree, has scored another propaganda touchdown. Their Badness is because the Communists have announced a "unilateral suspension" of atomic explosion tests. So what!

"A Ghost Story" MOTHER GIVEN CHILD DESPITE MATE'S PROTEST PHILADELPHIA Judge Vincent J. DiNubile has awarded Mrs. Mary Elinor Eley custody of her 10-year-old daughter, ruling that being on probation does not make her an unfit mother. Judge DiNubile's ruling came Thursday in dismissing a petition by Air Force Sgt.

Samuel Eley, 35. seeking custody of his daughter Margaret. The Eleys were divorced last year. Judge DiNubile said he felt the mutual love between mother and daughter would lead Mrs. Eley to "continue doing the right thing." Eley charged that before their marriage in 1947 his wife had served a term in the Pennsylvania Industrial Home for Women in Muncey for shoplifting.

He said she was arrested last July in Del' aware on charges of passing checks, served six months and was placed on proba- dren--Sonia, 11, and Karen, 7--and I were all alone. The day before, my husband had sent us a Christmas message from his ship, the Flying Enterprise, and we were content. Shortly after church, however, the telephone rang. "Have you heard about the storms, Agnes?" a friend asked me. "No.

What storms?" "In the Atlantic. The Flying Enterprise in in trouble." I turned on the radio and learned that Kurt was in the Mother Makes Promise County Prifv JCV. Fr. Mr? is Transferred: by Legislature as the Philadelphia i the a a i Railroad. Many! Adams County.

Waves were 60 feet high. The Flying Enterprise's hull had been damaged.

No details. The sfeip carried 50 passengers and crewmen. That was all. Friends Came To Help The word spread rapidly that Kurt was in trouble. Friends came over to our house to see if they could help.

Newspaper people began to call. The telephone rang constantly. Some of the calls I welcomed, like the times friends telephoned to say they were praying for us. It seemed the whole world was joining us in prayer. It gave me a warm feeling, and I was reminded of the Danish expression "Enighed gor staerk," which means "In unity there is strength." "Enighed gor staerk." I didn't think much about the words again until later that night after my friends had returned to their homes.

I was alone, and yet I was not alone. My friends weren't with me; and yet I could feel their support. They had left, and yet I was still united with them and took strength from them. Almost immediately the feeling of helplessness left me. There was something I could do for Kurt, out there in the storm.

I could support him, out there, just as my friends were supporting me. A Special Prayer That I began a special prayer. "Enighed gor staerk." I prayed. "In unity there is strength. Kurt." The next morning I asked friends to join me in this support of Kurt and his fellowmen aboard the Enterprise.

The storm continued to rage, and the Flying Enterprise began to take water into her number three hold." Kurt sent out an S. O. S. I When the rescue ships arrived. he asked them to come in as close as they could.

Then, on December and Turmoil, decided to make for the Engerprise, to see if she could be towed into port. Hopes rose. Jumps Aboard On January 4, the Turmoil rea-cihed Kurt and drew up close alongside. A young man named Kenneth Dancy jumped aboard the Enterprise, and together the two men tied a cable onto the stern of the old freighter. The Turmoil began the long slow, awkward trip bacj: to port.

Then, on January 8, when the Turmoil was only 57 miles from port, the headlines said new storms brewing off the coast of England. Our prayers were not, now, to bring ttoe ship to port, but just to keep the men from harm, and to give Kurt the strength to do "what he felt he had to do. On January 9, fate stepped in to make matters still worse. The tug's towline broke. Storm Worse Kurt and Kenneth were once again adrift in the open ocean on a sinking ship.

The storm was getting worse. They knew the end was near. They crawled out slowly onto the funnel. They waited yet awhile. Water inside the Enterprise was mounting and compressing the air that was still inside the ship.

Then, suddenly, the door to the bridge exploded open. Kurt knew the time had come. He stood poised. Water rushed down the funnel. There was a great sucking, slurping sound.

The old freighter gave one last shudder. Kenneth and Kurt jumped. They were in trip water only a few moments before the Turmoil picked them up. Back Home On January 12, Kurt returned to New York. There were parades for him up Broadway and in our home town of Woodbridge.

We were all'there, Kurt, Sonia, Karen, and myself. Hours later we closed the door on the final visitor. We were alone, just four of us. I fixed a little dinner, and we all sat down. It was our Christmas.

Kurt looked up and saw the tears' in my eyes. "There's no need," he said "We're together now." "Yes," I said. "We're I did not know where the next strength was to come from," he said. "But it was always there." "Yes." I said the tears came again. Enighed gor staerk.

THE PROPOSED Summit Conference and its relation to Russia's recent announcement should be ignored. The Administration is quite correct in its conviction that Russia wants a Summit Conference only for its propaganda, sounding- board value. Until Khrushchev complies with the normal diplomatic procedures preceding such a conference, there should be none. America was double-crossed by diplomatic double talk from an agenda of vague, empty aphorisms at Geneva in 1955. This should not be repeated.

The current moaning of our commentators merely enhances the value of Russia's propaganda gambit in the guise of diplomacy. One should never assist the other fellow's propaganda by worrying about it. -A congratulatory indifference would minimize its effect. IN TRUTH, whether Russia does or does not, continue her own atomic tests has absolutely nothing to do with what America's decision should be. Atomic experimentation is either bad or good.

If bomb tests are so contaminating our atmospheric envelope with demonic little neutrons, atomic fly- ash and strange cruds known as strotiurn-90 and cesium-137 so that bones are decaying, cancer is increasing, and only mosquitoes and flies can retain their virility, then America should cease and desist on all nuclear experiments without delay, no matter what Russia does. On the other hand, if these atomic explosions are not contaminating the scheme of things, there is no reason why both United States and Russia should not continue. An empty fear of an unknown kept thousands of navigators before Columbus from reaching America. Our generation does not want to be equally silly. IT IS PURELY a scientific question.

Recently Raly Lapp, a scientist with a flair for giving lectures and writing alarming articles, broke into print with a dire book devoted to the misfortunes of the fall-out showered, Japanese crew for the fisning vessel, "Lucky Dragon." It has been my privilege to hear Mr. lectures and to read some of his writings. They are convincing on one point. There is a great need for a clean reaction if the little atom is ever going to be harnessed for either war or peace. He doubts this can be done.

He would cancel all explosions. American experiments have been toward perfecting a "clean" nuclear reaction. Terrific' strides are being made in this direction. This gets us to the proponents of the other school of thought exemplified by Dr. Edward Teller, creator of the hydrogen bomb, and Albert Latter, a physicist for the Rand Corporation.

Their book, "Our Nuclear Future," (Criterion, S3.50) refutes the wanton fears arising from such tales as Mr. Lapp promotes. THEY REPORT America is well on the way to a clean explosion. The Reading st-arted a 93- 01 as that of the ton conneriinr Phf.adelphia. Iu3 who lived and tinued.

No harm done! Such progress is vital to the ultimate defense of our cities and our people, anc 5 to the future peaceful use of the atom. As for the danger from strotlum- 90 and cesium-137, thee scientists report no contamination worthy of mention from past experiments. According to them, there has not been enough strotium-90 contamination to amount to the difference between the cosmic radiation one receives in Denver, because of the mile-high altitude, as compared to, San Francisco, oddly enough, the people in have a lower cancer rate than do those in the sea levej city. These scientists pooh-pooh with equal gusto the alleged adverse effects of cesium-137.

The present preponderance of evidence indicates the continuance of these nuclear experiments no matter what Russia does. If and when the Lapp school of though briefs a solid and convincing contamination case, America should lower the boom of her own experimentation and launch a worldwide campaign against harmful nuclear uses by anyone anywhere. The entire situation is that simple, and analysis of it should be "divorced from diplomacy. It is strictly a scientific question. Meanwhile, let us have the courage of a Columbus and not be frightened by unknowns.
