LOG CABIN BOYS PREFERRED
The silver spoon boys are rapidly passing out of the pic*

pikers the “Ipg cabin” boys as members of the official fami

We heard of a classified advertisement that brought in

guess where the advertisement was published?
MacARTHUR MAN OF HOUR
President Truman has given General Douglas Mac-
Arthur unlimited powers to demilitarize Japan and to effect
the political, economic and social evolution of the Japanese
people. And American people know that MacArthur will
carry the assignment through to a successful conclusion.
There has been too much effort of late to identify MacArthur
with political organizations. It was tried unsuccessfully in
the la^ presidential campaign and undoubtedly will be tided
again. MacArthur, who is the type of man who can be as
signed to a task and be counted upon to perform that duty,
has more sense than to become identified with politics in his
present position. General MacArthur has done a first class
job in the Pacific and he isn’t through yet. It is unfortunate
that men like Acting Secretary of State Acheson andseveral
senate and house politicians feel it necessary to exercise their
right to criticize him. Daily the critics of MacArthur and
they exist only in arm chair experts (?) are being given illus
trations of the unfairness and ridiculousness of their criticism.
MacArthur went at the job with caution because his common
sense told him there was no other course by which success
could be obtained. He was, in the initial period, without
adequate military power to exercise firm and stem policies.
Now he has the power to back up his authority and he is doing
it well. MacArthur’s stern policies of discipline made him
unpopular with certain groups of military men, marines in
S articular. It is from these groups that criticism has come.
ut America knows now that what MacArthur has done has
been right. He is the outstanding figure of the war.
Americans may be interested in knowing that many
people In Europe believe that all of us have everything that
we want

Oloucaoter, Haas., Sept.—I reoaotly
walked br Lord A Taylor's boanUful
Fiftb Arenue show windows. Behold,
I saw an elaborate exhibit of Folly
Core desisns. When a boy here in
Gloucester I had s glri friend at a
place on Cape Ann, known aa "Fcrfly
CoTe," When I went down there my
father used to caU it “Boser's Folly."
Am I had nerer since heard of any
other Folly Core, I stopped at Lord *
Taylor’s and examined the goods.
Sure eaoufh! they were from my
own F<^y Core of Gloucester. Forth-
wmore, I was sgaln proud of this
Core. The goods were ss pretty ss
the girl I used to go with.
So, at my first opportunity I hiked
beck to my old kome at Gloucester
colon]
where I am writing this oolnmn for
my 400 friendly newspapers. Well,
here is the remsrkable story: A rery
inteUigent girl named Vl^nla Lee
Burton, a graduate of the BosUm Art
Museum, married a successful sculp
tor named George Demetrlee. (By the
way, if any "Mass, Tech.” men read
this story please note she is the
daughter of our belored Dean Burton
and the slater of Senator Burton of
Ohio.) Well, ahhoogh this Couple
could'afford to lire In any apartment
of any city, they chose to lire aa God
intended they should lire. Hence,
they bought a little farm bare at Fhlly
Core and are llring better for less
money.
AftOT the honeymoon was over and
George and Virginia had started two
fine boys on their way, they decided
to try a truly co-operatlTe experiment
in art. They felt that many of the
so-called ''co-operatlTe” enterprise^
are Just a form of big business sail
ing under f^se colors. So this is
what they ddi. They called together
all their married neighbors, wires of
farmers, fishermen, atxmecutters and
others. These were mothers who
were doing their own housework and
taking care of their own children.
Hence, the first requirement wss
that ths work most be done at home.
The seccMid reqnirement was that
to hold these mothers’ Interest they
most be encouraged to use their heads
as well as their hands. Hence,. Vtr.
ginia had them actually design and
create something themselTeo. Vet,
all of file townspeople—except Doro
thy Norton and Louise Kenyon—
thought this was tanposslMe. Only
these two bellered that untralnsd peo.
pie could design original patterns
(and they must be abeohitely orglnal)
for which great Fifth Arenue stores
would scramble.
Well, these women have no com
pany nor organisation. Ihey call Mrs.
Denietrioa, "President," while all the
others are "Vice Presidents." They
also elect a jury of fire to settle any
disputes which may arise. Badi wo
man makes and owns her own designs,
she carves the blocks (out of battle
ship linoleum) mixes the Ink and rolls
It on the blocks. Then the blocks are
put over the cloth laid upon the floor

and Stand
A private parking area and a taxi
stand in the big lot between the poat
dfflce property" and the Chevrolet
sarage Is to be provided by Bumie
and Andie Hinson, who have taken a
lease on the property in question.
This means that the t axi cabs,
which have operated from a stand on

upon because a woman must jump up
and down on her block to make a
good print! They began by making
only table doilies, scarfs, etc., but
now they make yard-goods for dresses.
Curtains and exquisite wallpaper.
But there is one more feature
which should be noted. It usually
costs more to s^l goods than to make
them, but not so at Folly Cove. The
overhead advertising and sales ex
penses of theae women amount to
only 1 1-1 per cent Hence, each wo
man gets 98 1-S cents of every dirilar
which th4 retail, stores pay for the
goods. Theee women certainly are
teaching manufacturers something Tn
connection with distrlbutiMi. This
lesson alone entttlee this story to be
in this weekly financial column. But
most important of all, this ie proof
that nothing succeeds like true co
operation. Here all have the same
powers, vote opportunities and yet
the income of each is based upon her
own individual efforts. (Questions:
Why cannot thte co-opwatire princi
ple be applied to many other prod
ucts? May there not be a suggestion
here for returning veterans who want
to be both independent and useful?
