“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.
