LONQ HAUL TRUCK LINES
deer mr. eddltor: .
The long haul truck line of flat rock
and the short haul motor co., of cedar
lane have asked yore corry spondent to
rite a note of thanks to everyboddy for
helping them make raonney.
the long haul trucks are nice, large,
long, cumbersome stream-lined affairs,
something In size betwixt a box car and
a coal car, only somewhat wider and a
little bit higher. but the cedar lane
trucks are 2 Inches smaller, and made
i $ /*//. t. ////,
for speed and comfort, plus road-hogging.
first, the truck lines want to thank the
taxpayers for building them such fine 1
roads to travel on; and secont, they
want to thank the highway department
for permitting them to use such big affairs.
If the highways had benn built
only 16 feet wide, noboddy but the trucks
could use them a-tall, but as they are
fairly wide, a pleasure car has one
chance out of ten not to get rammed off
the road.
the truck drivers always feel verry
comfortable, they enjoy fusing all of tha
road and pushing the little feller into
the bushes. It is lonesome driving a
truck and is very cute for them to have
fun like this to enjoy. their greatest
lafff comc^ when they tike all of the
road, or try to turn around In a street
and block traffic for an hour or two.
some of them get tlckeld plumb pink.
mrt eddltor, you mought write a.eddytorlal
and congratulate the big bunglesome
trucks on hawing such a grand
road to travvel on and If possible, ask
the next legglsl&ture to let the trucks v
and bysses be. made about 8 Inches wider
and 24 Inohes longer, and then noboddy
but -them alone would be able to use our .
fine roads, and that would do away with
all cbmplalnts, we think otirixoads will
lkst thettr about 5 years longer and then
they win be wore out knQ we will be

Summerall Calls Fori
Superior Army, Navy
Chlcugo, Nov. 10.?-General Charles
P. Summerall, former Chief of Staff
of the I'. 8. Army declared tonight
"Wo should abandon the Mouroe Doc
trlue or prepare to defend ll" with i
unned forces strong enough "to deter
aggressors from'threatening the Weaj
torn Hemisphere."
"Let us no longer delude ourselves
wlt^h the fetish that the oceans pro*
I tect us," he sutd in an address prepared
for delivery before the Union
! league club.
"Unless we control thoiu, they
j make us more vulnurable. Aggrea1
sor nations are driven to conquest by
an overproduction of manpower for
their resources. The Americans must
inevitably become their prey.
"We should abandon the Monroe
Doctrine or prepare to defend 11.
j Otherwise, we may at any time find
ourselves in a losing war."
General Summerall, now Presideut
of The Citadel Military College, advocated
a superior army and navy,
' military training for youth, and peaceI
time establishment In executive departments
of the Government of !
boards, agencies and commissions
needed durtng a war.
He1 also demanded that aliens 'Tormenting
revolution and trying to destroy
our institutions and the native
born traitors who aid and abet them
be treated as publfc enemies."
The retired officer coupled a plea
for strict neutrality toward current
belligerents with a denunciation of
the Allies' attitude toward American
troops who participated In the World
War.
He asserted that the Allies were
"exhausted" in 1917 and their leaders
"feared a debacle." Then, he added,
the United States contingents swung
into action at Cantlgny and Solssons
and drove forward In the great MouseArgonne
offensive.
The result, General Summerall recalled,
"was that the Allies were ovehwhelmlngly
victorious instead of
being disastrously defeated and no
doubt, permanently subjugated."
"In return," he charged, "we have
received little from them but criticism,
abuse, contempt and repudiation."
He contended that French Premier
Clemenceau and Marshal Foch, of
France were among those who belittled
the achievements of the American
soldiers and added:
"There should be no more potent
antitdote for propaganda, hysteria
and international emotionalism than
a perusal of books by British and
French military and political leaders
and the reports of the Secretary of
the Treasury about the war debts.
"Let the American people resolve
never again to engage in wars not
made upon them. There can be no
greater fallacy than to say we would
save others from defeat. Their wars
are of their own making and they
need not be defeated. We cannot settle
their quarrels nor maintain the balance
of power in Europe. America
must not bleed to death over there."
The diplomatic negotiations with
Norway in regard to the freeing of
the S. S. City of Flint, were handled
by America's only woman envoy, Mrs.
J. Borden Harriman, and the state department
at Washington Is reported
as being higly pleased with her handling
of the case.
In the first half of 1938, the U. S.
public health service said .recently
that the maternal mortality rate in
the United States reached a new low
of only four mothers lost for every
1,000 children born alive. A decrease
of twenty-three per cent was shown
since 1937.
Bright Pupils !
Have the Luek
j
Famous Educator Declares
They Are Charming
And Healthy.
PITTSBURGH.?-The bright children,
it seems, hove all the luck.
Dr. Leta S. Hollingsworth, New
York city educator and co-founder
q/ the Speyer School for Advanced
Children, here to shatter popular
misconceptions about brains, insists
the chances are an intelligent child
is also above average in almost ev>
ery other respect,
Beauty and brains, Dr. Rollingsworth
said, go hand in hand. And
so do brains and good health, charm,
long life and a sunny disposition.
As one of the leaders at the Speyer
school, Dr. Hollingsworth tested
many young students to find whether
they were bright enough to deserve
a place in the advanced
school.
"And yet, wheg some of the mothers
were told their youngsters had
been selected for fhe school," the
educator said, "they began to sob.
"You see, they had heard, I guess,
that, bright children don't live long
or perhaps that brilliant children
get brain fever."
Refutes Popular Theories.
Those are just some more of the
superstitions about intelligent children
that Dr. Hollingsworth's figures
refute. She can prove that youngsters
with high I. Q.'s are taller
and heavier for their ages, usually,
than children with less mental capacity.
- She believes all the superstitions
about bright youngsters "coming to
bad ends" are merely examples of
"subconscious Jealousy."
"People don't like to admit that
perhaps someone else's child can
have everything?intelligence, health
and charm," she said.
Her present task is that of changing
school curricula so that the
more intelligent youngsters are not
stunted mentally by lack of urging
or by downright suppression.
For instance, she pointed out, one
out of every 100 children can fulfill
the requirements of the public elementary
schools in approximately
one-half the time allotted. This
means the brighter youngsters
spend half their school days doing
nothing.
Cites Girl's Case.
"There was a seven-year-old g' i
named Jean who finished her lessons
in a third of the time the other
children required," Dr. Hollingswortjj
said. "The teacher didn't
know what to do with her. Finally
she gave the child a notebook and
told her to start with the number
'one' and write down as many numbers
as she could. The child toiled
on until her tiny hands became stiff
and cramped. Finally she burst into
tears and cried, 'I can't stand the
figures, I can't stand them.' "
The weeping child was taken to
the principal and then to Dr. Hollingsworth.
An examination showed
she had a mentality of a 14-yearold
youngster.
Today she is one of the best pupils
in the iSpeyer school. She is
onia of the children who has discovered
errors in encyclopedias, who
can use reference books in the New
York Central library like an adult,
and give a report on a serious historical
biography.
"T still have that notebook, filled
with those figures," Dr. Hollings- '
worth said. "It's certainly a commentary
on education."
Battleground of 1675 to
Oj^en Up in Rhode Island
SOUTH KINGSTON, R. I._The
site of the Great Swamp fight, one
of the bloodiest battles in New England
history, soon will be accessible
to sightseers.
In 1675 a band of colonists attacked.
and wiped out an encampment
of Narragansett Indians on
a small island in the swamp. A
simple monument marked the battle
scene, but it could be reached
only by a private path.
Now CCC workers, under supervision
of the national park service,
are building a road and foot trail]
linking the battlefield with the main
highway.
The road will end at a parking
space a half-mile from the battleground,
and from there visitors will
have to travel the remaining distance
over an eight-foot trail so
"the historical character of the area
may not be modified by the presence
of automobiles."
