“The Totem Pole”
Harrisburg, June 10—The naming by Democrats of Col. PhilipMathews, of Carlisle, as their State Chairman, is being hailed by thepolitical gentry hereabouts as “the shotgun blast inaugurating revi-talization of the Democratic Party.”
Such may or may not be the case, but the fact remains that someof the testy gentlemen in the op-
posing party—namely Republicans
—are already showing signs of out-right worry and the genial and
graying Mr. Mathews has hardly
had time to warm the seat of his
new chair.
“Every one of
I've talked to are as pleased as |
youngsters with new sling-shots,”|
chortled Grampaw Pettibone as he |
emerged moppong his brow from
the meeting placing Mathews in the
exalted political pew.
Sometime later he ran into
several prominent Republicans
strolling around their fort atop
Capitol Hill, and still mopping his
brow for other reasons, commented
with more chortles:“The boys seemed fretted a bit,
son, when the subject of Mathews’
selection came up. They're afraid
he’s going literally to tear the roof
from over their heads. They've
been running along with little or
no opposition so long they're afraid
their big guns have decayed in
rust”.Mathews himself is no newcomer
to the game of politics. An old
West Pointer and veteran of World
War I, he served under the first
Roosevelt Administration as WPA
administrator for Pennsylvania—no
small political plum even in those
lush days. |Later he became affiliated with !
the goings-on of one George H.|
Earle, who resided in the Govern-
or’s Mansion here during the ten-
der years of 1935 to 1939—thefirst and only Democratic Chief
Executive the State enjoyed in so
long most had forgotten exact
dates.
Thereafter the Republicans

emerged from their hibernation and
Mathews, along with the Demo-
crats, skidded into semi-oblivion.
Two years ago he was slated for
the State Chairmanship but some.of the party boys in control op-
posed the idea and the band wagon
continued on the decline.
Today the story is different.
Those who opposed him, in the
main, have now virtually disap-
peared and the Colonel should be
able to kick up some dust in com-
parative peace.
Mathews is sort of a compromise
selection. He isn’t exactly an old-
timer and he is not exactly one
of the newer bloods. Thus the be-hind-the-scenes figures hope to ap-
pease "both the young hit-heads
demanding a youngster on the
throne, and the Old Guard insist-
ing on heirarchy.
“Indications are that thé new
leader will declare war on his ad-
versaries before many more moons
have set,” opined Grampaw Petti-
bone from his easy chair where he
hungrily sipped a glass of iced
tea.|
“You can bet your bottom dollar
—better make that two dollars,
these days—that things will soon
be looking up for Democrats in
Pennsylvania,” the old sage grum-
bled, flicking a fuzzy caterpillar
from his new green sports coat.
“Saw my good old friend Hi An-
drews, Democratic leader in the
House of Representatives you
know, and he seemed mighty cheer-
ful. That's 'a sign, you know son—
a good sign, that is.”

Flying is fast fun for many.
Feasible and favorable to most
persons, but not to all.
Some tuberculosis patients have
hazards to cope with, and should
consider them before doing much
flying—especially high flying, ac-
cording to the National Tubercu-
losis Association Bulletin.Air on the ground is much
heavier than it is a mile or two
up.At sea level, air exerts a pressure
of 15 pounds on each square inch
of body surface, although one
doesn’t feel it because it presses
equally on all sides.
Air pressure diminishes as one
rises from sea level.
A toy balloon has rubber walls
that stretch. gSend the toy balloon up in the
air, and it will get bigger the high-
er it goes, because the air inside
expands as the pressure of the air
surrounding the balloon decreases.
Many patients with pulmonary
tuberculosis have large collections
of air in their bodies.A cavity within the lung repre-
sents such a collection of air.
A pneumothorax is a collection
of air in the pleural cavity which
surrounds the lung, and many tu-
berculosis patients have gas pump-
ed into this space to collapse and
immobilize the lung, in order to
aid treatment.These air spaces behave like a
balloon, expanding as outside pres-
sure diminishes.
The amount of expansion will de-
pend on how much their walls will
stretch.A refill of gas for pneumothorax
is calculated to produce the desired
pressure on the lung, and a bigger
refill would be too much.

SAFETY VALVEFROM CALIFORNIA
June 3, 1948
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Risley:
By now, no doubt you have re-
ceived our card from Tijuana, Mex-
ico, where we spent part of theholidays. It was our first visit
there and we found it all so in-
teresting and fascinating, thoughtmay be some one in the east might
enjoy reading about it or might
decide to make the trip someday.
We left our house at 8 o'clock
Sunday morning and drove onPacific Coast Highway and U. S.
101 through Anaheim, the well
known and jested about town JackBenny made popular through his
broadcasts. Then through racing
tracks and elegant hotels and on
into San Diego where we stayed
overnight at the El Cortez Hotel.
This is the place to visit for here
one can get a lovely panoramic
view of the entire city and bay.Ships of all sizes were harbored
there as were the submarines lined
up against the mother ship.
About 2 o'clock we started outfor Tiajuana, went over on the
ferry and spent an hour taking in
the loveliness of Coronado, which
is not only the haven for the idle
rich, but a playground and relax-
ation resort for the famous. After
drinking in all this beauty we
headed on to Mexico where at the
border between Mexico and U. S.
the customs officers stop the carand ask the birthplace of each pas-
senger. I understand that the
place of birth is not as important
as the accent and if they find rea-
son to question one further, they
lose no time. Returning from Mex-
ico one is stopped again to declare
purchases made. Each person is
allowed $8.00 worth of merchan-dise or perfume and no more. These
are inspected and checked for ap-
proval.
I don’t know what I expected,
but both Tiajuana and Aqua Cali-
ente were a disappointment to me.
The dog races were held in Caliente
but it was too late to go in, so
we back tracked and parked in Tia-
juana and hoofed up and downMain street taking in the sights,
colorful displays and gaiety. The
main thoroughfare is the only onepaved and from this branch off
the side streets or better yet—
run lanes or alleys which are hilly,
unlevel, dusty or muddy and
strewn with rubbish. All in all
it was fun, quaint and interesting
to take in the sights and I would
recommend a visit there to any
one desiring fun, a change, different
atmosphere and buying as well as
looking at the beautiful hand work,
colorful wearables and playthings
of the natives. The needle work
the women put out while sitting
along buildings or on street corn-
ers is simply breathtaking. Push
cart peddlers are all over selling
their famous and tasty Tacos, a
tantalizing little crisp pastry sand-
wich, shaped like a half moon and
stuffed with cooked ground beef,
bits of potato, fried onions, chopped
greens and sliced tomato then
sprinkled with a hot sauce and I
do mean hot.
Practically every shop we went
into had a perfume bar. One can
purchase any brand minus tax or
duty. Many were just lollingaround either smelling or sampl-
ing. But the majority made pur-
chases of very expensive kinds and
also jewelry.
We had our dinner in a quaint
little place where the entire meal
was only $1.50 and the fillet mig-
non was 2 inches thick and 3
inches in diameter with a strip of
bacon wrapped around it. It was
so tender, very little effort was
needed to cut through it.
From there we went to see the
Jai-Alai, pronounced ‘“Hi-Li”’ game.
Never before have I witnessed any-
thing as exciting, fast and danger-
Again I picked the winners
but as usual didn’t place any bets.
We stayed until the last game,
sitting through five hours of it but
never tiring a moment. I didn’t
“catch on” until about the third
game and after that enjoyed the
remaining seven and the finals.
This is what I learned about the
game as it progressed. As you take
your seat inside the Fronton Palace
you see the playing court which is
called “Cancha”. The court hasthree walls and is 180 feet long,
40 feet wide and 40 feet high. The
front playing wall, called “Frontis”,
is located on your right. The erar
wall, called “Rebote” is on your
left. The side wall is the long
wall directly in front of you. The
front wall of the playing court is
composed of ‘chiluca” blocks 12
inches thick and the side and backwall of pressure applied cement,
ordinary concrete will chip under
the terrific impact of the ball. The
players enter. Each of the players
has attached to his right hand, a
wicker basket which is called a
“Cesta”. The main object of the

J Barnyard Notes
A DAY IN JUNE
Joy comes, grief goes, we know not how;Everything is happy now,
Everything is upward striving;
"Tis as easy now for the heart to be true
As for grass to be green or skies to be blue,—"Tis the natural way of living.
Who knows whither the clouds have fled ? y
In the unscarred heaven they leave no wake;
And the eyes forget the tears they have shed,
And the heart forgets its sorrow and ache;
The soul partakes the season’s youth,
And the sulphurous rifts of passion and woe
Lie deep ’neath a silence pure and smooth,Like burnt-out craters healed with snow.
And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays;Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and towers,
And, groping blindly above it for light,
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers;The flush of life may well be seen
hills and valleys;
The cowslip startles in meadows green,
The buttercup catches the sun in its challice,
And there's never a leaf nor a blade too mean
To be some happy creature’s palace;The bird sits at his door in the sun,
Atilt like a blossom among theleaves,
And lets his illumined being o’errun :
With the deluge of summer it receives; !
His mate feels the eggs beneath her wings,
And the heart in her dumb breast flutters and sings;
He sings to the wide world, and she to her nest,—
In the nice ear of Nature which song is best ?
Now is the high-tide of the year, !
And whatever of life hath ebbed away
Comes flooding back with a ripply cheerInto every bare inlet and creek and bay;
Now the heart is so full that a drop overfills'it,
We are happy now because God willsit;
the past may have been,
"Tis enough for us now that the leaves are green;
We sit in the warm shade and feel right well
How the sap creeps up and the blossoms swell;
We may shut our eyes, but we cannot help knowing
That skies are clear and grass is growing;
The breeze comes whispering in our ear
That dandelions are blossoming near,
That maize has sprouted, that streams are flowing,
That the robin is plastering his house hard by;
And if the breeze kept the good news back,For other couriers we should not lack;
*We could guess it all by yon heifer’s lowing—And hark! how clear bold chanticleer,
Warmed with the new wine of the year,
Tells all in his lusty crowing!
—James Russell Lowell.
A good many things rile the
countryman these days. The lads
in Washington are in a dither and
New Yorkers continue to use to-
matoes in clam chowder. Severalhens stole their nests this spring
and the wily woodchuck in the
garden wall has eaten half the
early peas. Folks won't take their
desserts first when taste buds are
keenest and the condition of the
road by the farm is abominable.However, a man could take these
things in stride if he could only
have more bread pudding more
often.
For some mysterious reason the
ladies don’t go all-out for bread
pudding. They try all sorts of
doodaddish desserts and flip-floppy
salads with a red cherry perched
precariously on a peak of wiggly
stuff. Bread pudding may be hum-
ble and unpretentious; it isn’t
flossy and showy like the white of
egg concoctions and chiffon-tex-
tured mixtures that the women
folks seem to favor. But there's
something heartwarming’ and mel-
low about a hot, fragrant, nostril- tickling bread pudding. It's a
Country FlavorCHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING
plebian, democratic, open-hearted,
satisfying dish that brings peace
and contentment to the department
of the interior.
The receipt is honest and above
board: 2 cups bread pieces (never
use cracker crumbs), 1 cup sugar,
3 squares -of chocolate, 4 cups
scalded while milk, % cup raisins
and 2 tablespoons butter. Any
woman who
without using raisins deserves the
ducking chair. There may be alogical ‘reason for discussion as to.
whether chocolate bread pudding
is better than vanilla. This is a
democracy, according to the men
seeking office, and a man is per-
mitted to differ with his peers.
But on a June evening when a
man has had a hard day in the
fields, finishes his chores, and comes
in the ell door with milk pail on
his arm, it lifts his spirit to whiff
that delicious, chocolaty odor. A
couple cereal dishfuls with plenty
of hard sauce brings the cross cur-
rents of life into the main stream
again and makes one feel that ulti-
mately the human race will behave
in a rational manner.
