A popular summer proj
ect for many homeowners
is the construction of a
wood deck, a desirable ad
dition to older homes or
new.
A modern wood dock will
give you outdoor living
space where you want or
need it With a bit of help
and advice from an estab
lished lumber dealer, the
home handyman will find a
wood deck relatively sim
ple to assemble. Some
dealers can provide de
tailed plans for the project.
The design shown could be
lengthened to serve two areas of
the home, through sliding glass
doors or French windows. It could
also be shortened to make a sun
deck off a bedroom.

feet, consult your building-mate
rials dealer. He’ll also recommend
that the lumber you use be either
durable heartwood or preserva-
tively treated.

While garden clubs are mainly
interested in flowers, trees, etc.,
Mrs. Williams said, they should
also be involved in other areas of
civic work. Phases of civic devel
opment stressed by the speaker
were rehabilitation, renewal and
beautification.
Under rehabilitation she men
tioned sponsoring of laws designed

ordinances requiring houses to
meet certain standards and sim
ilar projects.
Renewal would be the redevel
opment of slum areas and beauti
fication would include such pro
jects as anti-litter and roadside
beautification.
“The role a garden club should
take is beautification,” the speak
er said. “The role of a citizen is
in all areas.”
Mrs. Sydney Carter introduced
Mrs. Williams.

tertaining the club were Mrs.
Dave Sokevitz and Mrs. Charles
Gray. Presiding over the meeting
was the president, Mrs. J. E.

BY THE WAY . . .
(Continued from page 1)
U. S. is only a matter of years
away’.”
Who is to blame? We, the peo
ple. We elected and re-elected the
amoral Socialists who have been
running our country for the past
30 years and who have deliberate
ly downgraded morality, family,
God and country. What can we
do? There must be a grassroots
awakening and rebellion. We must
clean out the Bobby Bakers and
the people who protect the Bobby
Bakers. We get what we deserve.
We are the government. Freedom
and morality are indivisible. If we
allow our leaders to continue their
plans to merge us into a one-
world, socialist state with the
Communists, we will be enslaved,
and we will deserve to be. For
Communism is the most diaboli
cal, criminal conspiracy in the an
nals of man.
It all ties together’ disarma
ment, forced association and for
ced equality, registration and col
lection of citizen firearms, unre
stricted immigration, confiscatory
taxation, ban on school prayer,
downgrading of family life, down
grading of Jesus Christ, encour
agement of civil disorders and dis
respect for law, obscenity and
pornography on the newsstands,
condoning of sexual promiscuity
and perversion, poisoning of stu
dents’ minds in the name of aca
demic freedom. These things
aren’t just happening; they’re be
ing made to happen. By traitors
cowards, collectivists, and half-
brights.
Let us assume for the sake of
argument, that those of our lead
ers who are sponsoring our dis
armament and our merger into a
one-world, non-profit, socialist
brotherhood under the United Na
tions are right. These people,
whatever their motives, are tak
ing all possible steps to merge us
with the “mellowing” enemy, as
the only “practical” solution to
the world’s problems. Let us as
sume that the Communists at some
point actually quit murdering and
enslaving people and decide to be
a peaceful partner in a world na
tion.
Even if this impossible dream
came to pass, it would mean that
we would lose virtually all the
freedoms we have always held
dear. We would be slaves, for a
slave is a person whose will is
controlled by another. We would
have renounced our Christian
principles. We would have aban
doned our rights to own, manage,
inherit, discriminate. A person
who does not discriminate is either
a slave or a slob.
Where are we going? We the
people must decide that, by the
leaders we choose. And in order
to know where we want to go, it
is vital that we know where we
are. It is vital that we know the
truth. We must not be like the
beautiful blonde who yearned so
to go to Hawaii that she started
walking daily along the steam
ship docks in San Francisco. Fin
ally she met a sailor who told her
he could arrange the trip. So she
met him one night at a spot he
suggested. He smuggled her on
board a vessel and hid her in a
lifeboat which was covered with
a tarpaulin. For days he brought
her food and spent as much time
with her as possible. But eventual
ly she became so tired of the
cramped quarters that she climb
ed out from under the tarpaulin,
approached a ship’s officer and
asked, “When does this boat get
to Honolulu?” The officer gasped,
“This boat doesn’t go to Hono
lulu, Madame. This is the Oakland
Ferry.”

From Mrs. Harold Cunningham,
Beaver Dams, New York: I re
member we lived on a farm in the
fear 1923 and I was four years old.
My father purchased one of those
still-looked-on-with-suspicion con
traptions—the automobile.
It was one of the first in our
town and my father was proud
and overjoyed at the sensation it
caused. Used to a horse and bug
gy, or a sled, and to riding through
the countryside to the beat of
horses’ hooves and die jingle of
bells, we found a new experience
—our first ride in the runabout.
We took off quickly, just like the
time our horse was stung by a
bee, only faster. “Hang on!”
wasn’t just a casual expression.
It was seriously meant and seri
ously taken. Those who failed to
heed the warning could find them*
selves bounced out. One day it
happened to me.
Mother sent dad to the store for
sugar. She asked him to take me.
As usual, he took off at top speed.
At the store he forgot something
and turned sharply into a drive
way to go back. The door of the
runabout flew open and deposited
me flat on my stomach on the
bank of the driveway.
The bank was grassy and soft.
A crowd gathered. Everyone
asked if I was hurt Meaning to
say, “I am just flattened,” I said
instead, “No daddy, I am just flat
tered.”
From Dorothy Turner, Cincin
nati, Ohio: I remember when the
canal ran through our city, and
the boats were pulled along by
mules.
I remember when we had open
street cars. You could hop on any
place to get a seat as they ran
very slow.
I remember when a loaf of
bread, 10c worth of baloney and
2c worth of onions could feed an
entire family.
I remember the opeiu house as
a big and beautiful place—and
how the poor people went there
during the depression to receive
food.
I remember the Sunday con
certs in Washington Park and
how we would take our lunches,
stand around or sit at the tables
to eat.
I remember when “shows” cost
only a nickel—and the pictures
were good, too.
And I remember how we used
to fight over our Crosley radio—-as
to who would have the earphones
next to listen to the “music from
the air.” My brother was always
first.
Boy, do I remember!
