FB TRIBUTE — END AR FAREWELL
The departure of Miss Miriam Lathrop, librarian, on
October 17 for her new home in Phoenix, Arizona, will
close an era in the history of Back Mountain Memorial
i
PERT
Fh RREER ERE RULER LEE ED)
Library.
Miss Lathrop through her devotion, energy and fore-
sight has guided the Library
through its formative years
and a large part of her character is revealed in the Libra-
ry’s friendly, homey atmosphere.
? Coming here from Rutgers University Library, her
first challange was to build an adequate, working library
where none had existed before and to create an atmosphere
that would induce young and old, students as well as
recreational readers to use its
facilities.
To accomplish this end she not only laid out the phy-
sical plant, catalogued books, mended old copies and
searched the book markets for volumes that would appeal
to her borrowers, she also nurtured flower gardens,
tended the furnace, brushed out the cobwebs and changed
the decor with the advent of
the seasons.
No one was better fitted to make a shrub grow where
_. Done had grown before nor to whet a child’s appetite for
reading where no taste for literature had existed.
How well she succeeded was revealed Tuesday night
by Louise Colwell, principal
‘ple Country Club.
of Dallas Borough Grade
School, at a farewell party for Miss Lathrop at Irem Tem-
Speaking before one hundred of the hard core sup-
porters of the library she quoted from an essay written
by one of her former students, Mary Dora Scott, now a
Junior at Marywood College.
“The happiest days of my growing up will always be
associated with the library and with the books I learned
to love there.”
We think that is a perfect tribute to Miss Lathrop
a woman whose gentle influence for good will be stamped
on a generation for many years to come. A woman who,
wherever she goes, will have left a large part of her heart
at Back Mountain Memorial Library.

Willard Garey’s construction of
two. apple and potato cellars at
Lehman answered the question,
“Where can we go in case of an
air raid?” The only drawback was
that Willard wouldn't divulge the
location of the cellars. They were

The Society also maintains a very
complete historical and genealogical |
library, so complete that we en- |
countered a student writing a thesis |
on three hundred local colonial |
churches, working on their mate- |
rials.
Dedham claims to be the second
earliest inland town in Massachu-
setts. 1636, a year later than
Concord. But there was a substan-
tial difference. (Concord was a
small town, and even now has only
a little over three thousand people. |
Dedham was an ambitious settling |
project with a hundred and twenty- |
five proprietors taking over a wide
strip of country southwest of Bos-
ton extending down almost to the
present corner of Rhode Island.
Some of the boundaries were dis-
puted for over sixty years. After |
cutting off about twenty present
townships, it still has a compact
town of about 24,000, ten miles from
Boston State House. The original
proprietors sometimes included fa-
thers and sons but on the whole
accounted for a lot of the early
settling families which have since
worked westward across the coun-
try. Before being admitted as
settlers each signed a covenant
among other things, agreeing to
maintain “a lovable and comfortable
society.”
The oldest frame house in Ameri-
ca, “The Fairbanks House,” is the
prime attraction in Dedham. This
differs radically from the run of the
mill old houses shown elsewhere.
It has not been “restored” or
“rebuilt” or “refurnished.” The
property has never been deeded
outside the family. When the last
old lady died several years ago “The
Fairbanks Family Association” took
over the maintenance. They took
out an ordinary coal burning range
in the kitchen and a few other
modern innovations, but otherwise
left the house pretty much alone,
excepting a few running repairs. It
could stand a lot more.
The central part of the house was
built in 1636 with the low ceilings
JUTE
common to the period. The original
windows in that part, having small
diamond shaped glass held by lead |
are gone, excepting a small sample,
having been replaced sometime with
ordinary six-light sash. The over- |
head beams, said to be from, or
like those used in, sailing ships, were
brought from Yorkshire, also the
early brick. The paneling looks as
if ship carpenters had worked on it.
The hearths are of brick laid in a
triangle with the corner in the room.
Distinctive mantles stretch over the
fireplaces. On one of them there
is a “blanket” crane upon which a
blanket could be hung and swung
across an adjoining window to keep
out the cold.
equipped with iron and tinware,
some of which is in place, also some
used by the early menfolks when out
on Indian campaigns. Old guns are
hung around but one of the most
valuable was stolen by a thief break- |
ing in during the night. On a
second attempt he got two more
but dropped them and escaped.
The two end sections were built
later, making a total of ‘eleven
rooms. Here can be found ‘three
hundred years of utensils, equip-
ment, furniture, clothing, etc. such
as ised by a fairly well to do, but
not millionaire family, filling the
eleven rooms. Looms used by the
women in weaving, spinning wheels,
etc. are still in place with some of
the work. Long dresses worn in
christenings and other clothing
hangs around. A luxury item, giv-
ling three entirely different pictures
when observed from the front and
side angles, has a prominent place.
In the original part of the house
there is an underground escape
passage to be used in case of Indian
trouble, There is a tradition that
a group of roving Indians, asking to
be fed, lay around all night on the
kitchen floor, there being no good
way to get rid of them.
The house is within sight of Route
U. S. 1, the old Boston Post Road in
that vicinity. The present custodian,
Mrs. Forrest Freeman, a direct
descendant of the builder, Jonathan
Fairbanks, (as is also this writer),
was married in the house, the first
wedding there in a hundred years.
About two hundred years ago, in
Connecticut, Elizabeth Fairbanks, a
fourth generation descendant of the
first Jonathan Fairbanks, builder
of the house, was married to Col.
Ebenezer Gay, also of old Dedham
family. Other Dedham families in
their ancestry included Thomas
Fisher, Edward Culver, John Guild,
an Ellis, a Woodcock and perhaps
others. Several of their children
| came to this area, including Fisher
Gay in Wyoming Valley, Ebenezer
Gay, Jr., at Mehoopany, and Sally
who married Belding Swetland.

With GEORGE A. and
EDITH ANN BURKE
The New Season has begun and
it looks as though it will be a good
one. “Dr. Kildare” proved to be
an interesting program. Richard
Chamberlain as “Dr. Kildare” has
a very interesting face. Won't be
surprised if this show turns out to
be one of the most successful of
the year. y
Watching Mitch Miller's program
made one feel that all was well and
it was a pretty sensible world after
all. In fact, it was hard to remem-
ber the need for fall-out shelters.
Gary Moore put on an excellent
show for his first one back. Jack
Benny and Borge did a bang-up
job on their singles. Al in all, it
was a good week,
Lee Patterson of “SurfSide 6” is
a great kidder by nature and in his
case it has paid off.
About eleven years ago he was
in Europe studying to become a
painter. He had gone there from
his home in Ontario; Canada.
Patterson was in London at the
‘time when someone asked him if
he could act and he said yes. He
‘was just kidding. He was taken
seriously, though, and was invited
to try out for a role in “Johnny
Belinda” at the Theatre Royal in
Windsor. :
Still kidding, Lee auditioned and
was surprised when he got the part.
He had nothing to lose so he de-
cided to give it a try.
Next he won a small part in Lon-
don’s West End where he replaced
Mary Martin's son in “South Pa-
| cific.” And then came a starring
| role in “Stalag 17” in England.
| By this time, Lee gave up kidding
| about acting. It was serious busi-
ness.
Before he came to the United
1ates over a yera ago and signed
with Warner Brothers. he had made
29 motion pictures all over Europe
and Africa, but was relatively un-
known until he joined “SurfSide
6” in the role of private investiga-
| tor Dave Thorne. ‘ : |

_ DALLAS. PENNSYLVANIA
| BABSON’S AUTHENTIC RELEASE o
Babson Tells Why Many States
Babson Park, Mass, Many cities
wonder why new factories do not
start in their area, and why so
many are moving South.
WHY THEY DON’T START HERE
One trouble is that old industries
‘are dying faster than the area can
get new ones. In my estimation,
all of the northeastern states are
suffering from high labor costs due
| to rampant unionism; high state
‘taxes; overvopulation; too great a
distance ‘from raw materials; leftists
who want to spend before they
earn; workers who don’t want to
work and don't respect their em-
ployers; state and local officials
unfriendly to industry; and lack of
a desire to help newcomers.
Already six states in the South
have solved their problem, but all
needed to amend their state con-
stitutions. These have been drawn
to protect the holders of tax-exempt
‘bonds within their states. Times
‘have changed—and we now must
choose between giving a monopoly
‘to present holders of tax-exempts
or aiding the unemployed. Also,
owing to the new Congressional
mortgage legislation, we have the
U.S. Government guaranteeing 40-
year mortgages at 5% interest!
REVENUE BONDS THE SOLUTION
We all are acquainted with non-
taxable Revenue Bonds for build-
ing highways. The holder of such
bonds is dependent upon the toll
receipts for his interest. If enough
people use the mew highway full
interest is paid, but not other-
wise. At first leading investment
bankers objected to such Revenue
Bonds; but finally they accepted
them and the 'bonds sold freely. Of
the hundreds of millions worth of
bonds issued, only one (that put
out by West Virginia) has defaulted.
Now certain cities in the South
are issuing such Revenue Bonds to
provide funds for new industries.
They are tax-exempt and must be
voted by a majority of the citizens.
These. bonds have been freely ac-
cepted by northern investors. Many
of our cities are now taxing their
citizens heavily to provide education
Are Losing Factories
our & Company. The bonds give
both the community and the comp-
any a highly advantageous con-
tract. Armour has agreed to pay
them off at 4% # interest over 26
years. Both interest and principal
will come entirely from Armour’s
lease payment. Investors find them-
selves with a highly desirable tax-
exempt 4% % bond. If you are in
the 50% tax bracket you get the
equivalent of a 9.5% taxable yield.
Cherokee has no problems because:
(1) The bond issue is covered by
strong legal restrictions, (2) the
plant will employ over 300 work-
ers. :
The second largest municipal bond-
ing program is a $9,000,000 proj-
ect for. General Tire in Kentucky.
Ranking third is a $7,000,000 bond
issue for Borg-Warner Corporation
in Arkansas.
GETTING NEW FACTORIES
The above is the only method
northeastern U.S. to get new fac-
tories to. provide employment for
their people and proper schools for
their: children.” Remember that to-
day, when locating new factories,
the owners are looking for local-
ities where the executives and
their wives will be glad to live.
Northeastern cities which are some
distance from raw materials must
provide some offsetting advantages.
They must have friendly Chamber
.of Commerces which are not con-
| trolled by “old fogies.” The C of Cc
| Secretary should be an experienced
| man, preferably from one of the
| fast-growing Southern cities which
| have already issued Industrial Rev-
| enue Bonds.
The Northeast has many natural
| advantages; but it must wake up
| to the new conditions facing wus.
| The same applies to many cities
| of the Central West which now de-
{ pend upon farming.

19,000 miles traveling to 36 dif-
ferent locations. Out of a crew of
50, the show keeps about 35 on the

The object was to do a TV series
entirely on the road, telling the
story of two itinerant young East-
erners trekking about in a sports
car. Milner plays a young and re-
cently orphaned Yale man, George
Maharis a near-hood off the streets
of New York.
Producer Leonard attributes its

“it’s a good show.”

100Years Ago
THE CIVIL WAR
(Events exactly 100 years ago this week in the Civil War—
told in the language and style of today.)
This Week...in
“Camp” Sherman Named
Chief in Cumberland
Lincoln Writes
Marching Orders
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Oct. 8
—Brig. Gen. William Tecumseh
Sherman, 41, former Ohio bank-
er, today was named command-
er of the strategic Cumberland
department of the Union Army.
With the appointment, President
Lincoln sent the bearded, fast-talk-
ing Sherman an explicit—and
staggering—assignment:
He was given basic responsibil-
ity for the implementation of Pres-
ident Lincoln’s orders last week
for the immediate seizure of a key
railhead near Cumberland Gap,
the gateway to the west through
the Appalachians.
In this directive, his first since ;
the disastrous operation order
that led to the North's rout at
Bull Run in July, Mr. Lincoln in-
sisted on an end to the lethargy
that has seized most Union units
in recent weeks.
* ¥ @
GEN: Sherman has been com.
manding some 8,000 men in and
around Muldraugh’'s Hill, some 40
miles south of Louisville, Ky.
In his assault on the rail-
head—capture of which would
. cripple fast transportation be-
tween Virginia and Tennessee
~—Sherman will be joined by
about 5,000 troops now sta-
tioned near Lexington, Ky.,
under command of Gen.
George H. Thomas.
Also moving to join Sherman
were smaller units from Fort Holt,
Ky., and Cairo, Ill. After these
forces are grouped near Louisville,
other troops from Cincinnati were
to team up with the new Army
for the march on the Gap, which
is about 90 miles southeast of Lex-
ington.
Opposing the aggressors will be
firmly entrenched Confederate
troops, estimated at from 5,000 to

federate Gen. Felix Zollicofey.
Also in the general area, and pres
sumably mobile enough to join
Zollicoffer, were outfits with a
total force of some 7,000, under
direction of Gen. Simon Buckner.

SHERMAN-—known as ‘‘Cump”
to boyhood friends in Lancaster,
Ohio, because of his distinctive
middle name—was graduated
from West Point in 1840 and
served in the Mexican War. 3
He quit the Army in 1853 and
made a brief and unhappy excur-
sion into the banking field. Later,
he served as chief of a military
school in Louisiana. He was presi
dent of a street railway in St.
Louis at the time he re-entered
the Federal Army as a colonel
last May. He was promoted to his
present rank after the fighting at
Bull Run,

hg aid
of Congress.
