Moving Along With The Crowd ' . , By Paul Jay
It’s a common malady, not eonta
gtoua and not necessarily hereditary.
Some folks are bom with it, others
just catch it bat once you’ve got it
there** no getting rid of it- Maybe
you*ve got it and don’t even know it
What is it? The writers itch
I’ve had it all my life, even from
my high chair days when the only
thing that would quiet me was a pen.
cil arid a piece of paper. Of course
dfstmrtiorn didn’t come to me all at
once, neither did it to Walter Win
chell Take note you aspiring young
literary geniuses- After you’ve writ
ten your first million words and
packed them away for safe keeping
you may reasonably hope to achieve
what I have—-4fca priviledge of writ
ing a whole column for your paper
Am I proud? “I’m just delightrd ”
And so’s my old typewriter- It’s such
a faithful and true friend- It’s old.
one of tl , :n'1 ”cv *:-«ow where
the lot* m live urstairs and
tb small ones aown- No hard feel
ings Just class distinction
Al» we need now is your approval
I’ve never received a fan letter in my
life and I’m not going to tell you how
old I nm either, but I want you all to
write to me- I’m going to share hon
ors with you- We’ll make this column
a family affair. wht»Je we’ll talk over
alt sorts of thing Yes. we’ll settle
all the world's difficulties and your
grandrhidren and mine will point to
ns as the Saviors of our country
But. here’s your part of the New
Deal You positively must read this
column It’s your’s- After you’ve fin
ished it write and tell me how no
account it is and what we ought to
do fit- bolster it up before the editor j
takes it away from us- If we don’t |
succeed the fault is your’s not mine—
Oh. no indeed
We re going to talk about all sorts
of little intimate things The thing
that every day folks like you and I
are interested in- Just what is it that
makes life pleasant and worth while
for you? I’m sure the same things
that interest yon will be vitally im
portant to me
Vacation Time
Somehow it didn’t seem quite fair
Ev rywhere I turned I was -reminded
of the fact that now was the oppor
tune time to forget one’s cares and
hide themselves away to mountains
ano lakes, where one could revel in
the delights Old Mother Nature had
prepared for her children- She seem
ed like a rather partial mother to
me
Vacation! Why I might as well
dream of a trip w> the moon I had
not the means either financial or lo
comotive to transport myself to any
of those delightful places, far afield,
away from the city’s dust and heat
where one may relax, and gain n-erw
strength for the tasks ahead.
I could have enjoyed sitting idly by
some meandering stream, dropping
my line into the cool waters of a
mountain rivulet, watching the trout
dash flush like gleaming arrows far
beneath me- I would have thrilled
while I walked for out into the
stream to cast my line into the shal
low depths of some gleaming pool,
bnt woe is me. vacation days for so
many of us are only dream days. filL
ed with idle fancies never to be real
ized.
My wife felt about as bad about
the matter as I did. I take it from
what she said that housekeeping isn’t
so much easier than a lot of things
men do- She wanted to pick mountain
flowers like the ones she’d read about
in books, wild ehtistanthemums and
sweet williams. She wanted to take
the children and picnic in some shady
nook, tucked away from view, where
the children could wander barefoot
on some sandy beech, or hunt for tiny
glistenng sheUs along the waters
edge
, Oh. the thought of it all drove me
to distraction Why couldn’t I give
my family what other men gave
theirs. Well. I finally decided after a
spell there were a lot of men these
days who weren’t doing all the things
they’d like to do- I decided I belonged
in their class. I told my wife so.
She’s a good pal- She brushed back
the hair from her damp forehead,
caught up the baby and dropped into
a rocker beside me on the front
porch
Th? front porch, in summer has
for years been the place for the
family round up- Billy generally sits
astride of the Bailing- Maybe it’s not
quite as exciting as mounting a
broach, but it seems to be quite sat
isfying to a six year old. Marybell.
since she’s started t* High School is
too dignified for this sort of thing
She prefers the orch swing.
While we all sat in general as
sembly Marybell began “Oh I don’t
see why we can go some place? It’s
so hot here- So many folks are hav
ing vacations now. There it was- Just
what Ma and Fd been thinking about
but hadn’t said much about—Because
we knew it wouldn’t do any good to
do anything It was about all we can
do to keep the big. bad wolf shooed
away from the front door as it was.
As usual it was my wife who came
to the rescue- She always does- “Tell
you. Dan” she said “what we’ll have
to do- We’ve got to have a vacation
We all need it just like everybody
else does- I know you can’t get away
from your work very well, but I be

11 ve that you could get away once
in a while and here’s what we’re
goin’ to do
“Well ordered vacations, like
charity begin right at home We’re
going to live outdoors, tat and sleep
outdoors this summer and here’s how
we’re going to do it. ’ve bjen wantin’
a screened in porxrh ever since we’ve
been married and now w;-’re going
to get it- it won’t cost anything like
what a vacation away from home
would and once we get it we'll have
it ready for all the years ahead
Mother was right- It didn’t cost
very much and it didn’t take very
long to transform that big. roomy
front porch into an outdoor living
room- Everyone who came into it
said “UM and ah and oh! how lovely
it was
Jenny’s always handy at fixing up
things- She and Marybell b.came the
proud possessors of cans of pain:
and brushes. Even Bobby insisted on
helping with the job- The whole
family over night became color mind_
ed- It took a lot of persuasion on
Jenny’s part to keep her assistants
from indulging in too radical a enve
lopment of their ideas- When it came
to painting the back of the porch
swing c.rise and the inside orange
and one end of the window boxes blue
and the other pink she drew the line
Some folks dislike the sm-.ll of paint
but my family don’t- They just seem
to revel in it
I m not saying just how I felt
about the matter but I tried to bear
it all bravely. Everyone was doing
their best to produce the porch beau
tiful- Why should I hamper them? I
didn’t and before long we had a
veranda or piazza or howev.r it was
they used to speak of the porches in
the Victorian era. which had no equal
any where up and down the street.
And then a funny thing happened -
So many of our neighbors with whom
we had had only a speaking acquaint,
ance would stop for a moment to ad
mire, to congratulate. We’d ask them
in- They’d drop into our comfortable
old rockers, so gay in their new
adornment and they’d tarry a while.
If the day was warm and they were
tired they’d stay even longer than
they had planned Before we realized
it our home was becoming the mag
net which attracted the people of the
neighborhood- In the experience we
were learning to understand and ap
preciate each other
Yes. You say, but you started
out to tell us about your vacation.
Where did that come in- Well I want
to tell you we had one of the finest
vacations imaginable
Because of Jenny’s suggestion I
did manage to get a day off now and
then and what did we do? Why we
packed the whole family into the
faithful old bus and journeyed out to
the Platte, where we found the shady
nook we’d dre^mr d of and the sandy
beech where the children could wade,
and the quiet, sequestered spot
where the fish bit as only good fish
do and when we’d return home at
night tired but happy there was no
need of sleeping in hot bedrooms, for
in our screened in porch built be
neath the whispering leaves of the
old maple we’d fail asleep to awake
with the dawn, hearalded by the bird
calls of a feathered orchestra that
never struck a fase note
See America first—yes, but take
your next vacation on your front
porch
Senator Kean of New Jer
sey Favors Anti-Lynching
Legislation
NEWARK. N. J- July 6— (CNS)—
1 "‘I dont care whose bill it is, but
some kind of an anti-lynching law is
necessary to end the brutal practice
, of lynching,” stated Senator Hamil
| ton F- Kean, of this State, in a
I speech here last Saturday. The Sen
ator made the foregoing statement
after explaining how his bill was
| side tracked by the Judiciary Com
! mittee of the S.nate, following its
| introduction at the opening of Gon
i gress
“I went to two of the leading
members of the Bar to get them to
draft a rigid anti-lynching law that
would give the Attorney General the
power to send secret service men to
any place where a lynching occurred
and to gather the evidence for the
1 prosecution of the Kuchers The
Derooa.ats side- tracked my bill and
I they proceeded to kill the Wagner -
I Costigan bill in the committee which
they control.
“I say to you as an American
■ citizen and a believer in fair play,
that an anti-lynching bill will not be
passed as long as the southern Demo
cratic members control the govern
ment- They are opposed to the inter
est of the colored citizens and have
great influence in places where most
of the lynchings occur-”
SUFFERING FOLLOWS SIN
By R- A- Adams
(For The Literary Service Bureau)
While “Stolen sweets you may enjoy.”
Tour a petite perchance may cloy,
Remembar, ere you this begin.
That sufficing always fellows sin
In weakness you may go astray,
The tempter’s subtle voice ebey,
But ’twill be, as has ever been.
That suffering will follow sin
Fruit growing on forbidden trees,
May serve the appetite to please.
And plaudits bounteous may win,
But suff.ring still will follow sin.
j So, it were well warning to take.
Paths of unrighteousness forsake,
: If eas» and comfort you would win.
; For suff’ring always follows sin.
