BK DEDICATED SPIRIT
Tt is given to few of us to be loved as George Sayre
was loved. With his tragic death, the community has lost
a man who cannot be replaced, a man who made the world
better by living in it.
He amassed no wealth; he had no wish for temporal
power; Who's Who in America knows him not.
But he had the mighy power of a dedicated spirit,
the radiance of true goodness, which reached out and
touched every living soul within his small orbit.
He was the exemplification of Christian Charity,
which being translated, means Love.
Love of people; respect for the innate dignity strug-
gling for expression in every human soul; understanding
of human frailty.
Here is a man who cannot be spared, but who must
be spared.
He leaves the world better than he found it,
memory green in the hearts of his people.
The way, the truth and the light.

‘What has happened to the toy stores?
Do all parents now do their Christmas shopping in the super-
markets, the drugstores, the five and tens, the auto accessory ems=
porium, or the department stores?
A large doll surrounded by accessories, looking through a plastic
window in a box, now seems to be the norm, guaranteed to cause the
heart of the expectant little mother to beat with maternal joy. She
can hardly wait to install the doll in a beauty parlor chair and sham-
poo its curls, rolling them in the latest style.
And as for the small boy, he has to have an instrument panel, a
wheel that turns, and windshield wipers that slat back and forth like
the jaws of an annoyed hard crab.
Absolutely nothing is left to the imagination.
And imagination still remains the very foundation of research
and progress,
Could it be that we are depriving our children of the very thing
that will help them as they reach toward manhood and'womanhood ?
Are we substituting mere things for the priceless joy of ac-
complishment ?
Toy stores used to be toy stores, and nothing else. Dolls were
pretty much standardized, most of them imported from Germany.
They stood, each in its individual box, in serried rows on the shelf
or in the windows. Chastely attired in a mosquito netting knee
length nightie, each doll resembled every other doll in the store ex-
cept in size. There were a few kid-bodied dolls with bisque heads
and hands, but most of the bodies were paper-mache with fearful and
wonderful joints.
The so-called five-dollar doll was the acme of every little
girl's desire. The five dollars meant a size, not a price. When a
little girl asked Santa Claus for a five dollar doll, she was asking in
well understood terms, for a large size doll.
At Schwartz’ toy store in Baltimore, you could get cunningly
jointed dolls with movable eyes for as little as ten cents or as much
as $25. The cheaper china dolls, afflicted with congenital hip disease,
sat on the shelf with their legs pointing a ninety degree angle. Olds-
ters who still have one of those china babies can get real money for
it nowadays-at an antique store,
Still on sale and in great demand at the turn of the century were
sawdust-stuffed dolls with china hands and feet, all of them decided
brunettes, gleaming black china hair moulded in ripples soniEsing
with bright blue eyes.
Some toys have completely disappeared.
Does any child roll a hoop?
Hula-hoops had a brief reign, but not as hoops to roll. Hula
hoops, now as dead as any doornail, were to wiggle, not to roll along
the pavement, guided and encouraged by a stick.
Spinning tops. Tops have to play a merry tune in order to be
salable to the modern sprat.
A whip-top, available for two cents at any toy shop, could be
coaxed up over a high curb with an expert flick of the whip, and
guided on its way down the pavement by an occasional touch. It
took skill to set it in motion, and skill to keep it going.
It's been a long time since I have seen little girls hunched on the
front steps with a handful of jacks and a small rubber ball. Surely
little girls still play jacks?
Some toys are hardy perennials: dominoes, Chinese checkers,
regular checkers, parchesi, and various picture-card games.
Is the Game of Lotto still extant? Old-Maid?
The passing of the toy store is a sign of the times.
Do kids still know how to play? Can they whittle with a jack-
knife? Play the mouth-organ? Build a soap-box racer?
Do they shoot marbles?
They still, praises be, know what to do with a baseball and a bat,
instead of taking it out entirely in watching professional baseball
over Television.
But I miss the toy shops with their bins of tiny shoes and stock-
ings for dolls, exquisite miniatures of furniture with drawers that slid
easily open and shut, doll houses, hundreds of penny dolls that could
stand on their own feet if expertly balanced, gay rubber balls, tiny
frmperted horses and wagons, and fragile ornaments for the Christmas
ee
Nothing to distract the mind from the toys.

“Here TLyes The Worship Major
General Daniel Denison Who De-
ceased Sept. 20, 1682 in Ye 70th
year of his age”. Above this epi-
taph, in the old cemetery at Ips-
wich, Mass., appears the Denison
Coat of Arms apparently moulded
in lead. Adjoining are the graves
of other Denison men showing mili-
tary rank with the same coat of
arms. Daniel was a son of the
first William Denison, who was a
freeman in Roxbury 1632, who
was probably the original ancest-
or of Nathan Denison, locally fam-
ous and one of the commanders in
the Battle of Wyoming. Zebulon
Butler, in supreme command in the
Battle of Wyoming, was born in
Ipswich.
The cemetery contains the grave
of ‘Rev. Nathaniel Rogers pastor
47 years slept in Jesus May 10th
AD 1995”. The stone shows in re-
lief a portrait of the minister in
his Puritan garb, and much other
matter. Other famous ministers
served in Ipswich. In 1687, during
the governorship of the arbitrary
Edmund Andros, Rev. John Wise
stood up in town meeting and in-
sisted that taxation without repre-
sentation could not be tolerated.
The people were aroused and sent
a committee of five prominent men,
headed by Wise, to protest. They
were all arrested and tried. The
judge told them their rights as
Englishmen did not follow them to
the ends of the earth, and fined
and jailed all of them. Rev. Wise
was ousted as a minister and perm-
anently disqualified from ever
holding a church in the colony. As
a result of this occurence the town
seal carried the words, “Birthplace
of American Independence’.
Agawam, later Ipswich, was con-
sidered the best place in all the
area for tillage and cattle with a
sea abounding in fish and “no rat-
tlesnakes”. It was settled by John
Winthrop, Jr. and twelve others in
1633. It was the residence of many
capable and well known men.
Nathaniel Ward, a preacher for
a short time, published in England
a book, SIMPLE COBLER OF AGGA-
WAM IN AMERICA, a satire on
religion, morals, and manners. He
was strongly against toleration of
other beliefs and critical of man-
ners, particularly womens dress. He
was legally trained and helped draw
up a legal code for the entire col-
ony called, ‘Body of Liberties”.
Ezekiel Cheever, a school master,
was the instructor of the famous
Cotton Mather. Col Nathaniel Wade
served with distinction in the Rev-
olution. He was assigned by Wash-
ington to command West Point on
the day Arnold's treason was dis-
covered..

houses built before 1800, some dat-
ing from 1640. It has open house
every two years. Although the earl-
lest ones vary and have been res-
tored, most of those of about 1700-
1800 seem to follow roughly a gen-
eral design of a two-story rectang-
ular building, with a prominent
front door centered on the long
side. There are usually small wind-
ows across the top of the front
door topped by a good looking lin-
tel. Ordinarily there are two equal-
ly spaced windows of each side
of the door, with the same wind-
ows above them and a single wind-
ow of the same size above the front
door. A common design is a lower
sash with nine rectangular panes
and an upper sash with six panes
of the same size, the upper sash
being approximately square. Most
buildings have steep roofs, no over-
hanging cornice. A few houses about
1800 built by wealthy merchants
and foreign traders have three stor-
ies.
Simon Bradstreet, twice Governor
of Massachusetts Bay Colony, lived
in Ispwich, and Thomas Dudley,
another governor, did also for a
time. Anne Bradstreet, daughter of
Dudley and wife of Bradstreet, was
the first American poetess. Maj.
Gen Denison was son-in-law of Dud-
ley and . brother-in-law of Brad-
street.
An important colonial industry in
Ipswich was the making of “pillow
lace”. By 1790 the annual produc-
tion was 41,979 yards. The pillow
was a short cylinder of various
sizes, perhaps ten inches in diam-
eter, with the ends slightly rounded
by drawstrings. A piece of parch-
ment a couple of inches wide, or
more depending on the pattern, was
fastened around the middle of the
cylinder, which was laid on its side,
sometimes in a basket. The pat-
tern was marked on the parchment
and punched with pin holes. The
threads, sometimes exceeding a
hundred, were placed on bobbins a
little thicker than a pencil and a
few inches shorter. Pins were placed
in the pattern and the lace maker
picked up the bobbins, one by one,
placed that thread around or knot-
ted at the appropriate pin or pins
in the pattern, then hung the bob-
bin by a pin at or near the end
of the pillow and took up another
one. The thread used was very fine,
and the finished product also.
The strip was continuous, of un-
limited length, and as it came off
the pillow at the side opposite the
marker, was rolled and placed in
a little pocket to hold it. The meth-
od was exceedingly tedious, and con-
sidering the meager lighting avail-
able, must have been a lot harder
than lace making today. However
the quality was very good indeed.
SAFETY VALVE
IN APPRECIATION
Dear Mr. Risley,
I wish to express my appreciation
through the reader’s column, to the
three most loyal doctors, from the
Noxen Clinic.
During the past seven months,
my mother-in-law was critically ill,
which took many hours of nursing
care and doctoring, which the fam-
ily shared, but only through the
kindness, sympathy and care from
the clinic doctors, could we give her
the required care she needed.
When we were in doubt, we felt
free to call upon the doctors for
advice, knowing they would come
or give us information we needed
on the phone, even though they are
busy day and night.
The weather never being a bar-
rier, for one doctor came during an
ice storm, and got there in time to
save her life from a heart attack so
we could have mother with us for
a few more months.
The family wishes to say thanks
again for your kindness, sympathy
and care of our loved one.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Preston Swan
COLGATE-SYRACUSE GAME
November 20, 1961
To the Editor
Dear Sir:
I am enclosing a clinging I cut
from today's (Monday, November
20) Syracuse Pos-Standard, which I
thought might make an interesting
item in your paper.
The Emily Estey column is usually
very interesting and reading the
piece today about our friend in
Dallas, I thought I would cut it out
and forward, so here it is,
I subscribed to the Dallas Post
when my mother was alive, but I
have been away for thirty-five years
and I know so very few people Back

Mrs. Harvey Weiss of Trucksville.

ALONG THE POST ROAD
Various emotions were evident
last week at the Syracuse-Colgate
game,
The man with the right to the
most emotions was, in my book,
Jack Hastings from Dallas, Pa. I
make the nomination in the belief
that he was the man with the
longest record of attendance. This
game, to Hastings, was the 48th in
succession.
He climbed the fence behind the
|FORTY FORT
stadium for his first view in 1913.
His knee breeches and long black
stockings got him over safely for
several years following. Eventually,
he joined the line at the ticket
window, as fences became higher
and his ability to earn money im-
proved. '
The Hastings lived for some time
in the university section, and then
the young man enrolled at Hamilton
College, where he graduated, later
marrying Mary Harris, Syracuse,
Class of "27.
When they moved to Dallas, Pa., |
where Jack is in the wholesale
hardware business, they kept the
custom of attending the ' Colgate
game, making a pilgrimage in com-
pany with the G. Webster Rice's,
Stafford, Pa. Rice was a former
light-heavy boxer at Syracuse.
Hastings pointed out that Syra-
cuse took a shellacking from Colgate
for years. “I sat there and watched
our team lose 13 years in a row—
and nobody ever said ‘quit’” he
pointed out.
I said, “What do you think will
happen now?”
He answered what many alumni
were thinking . . . “I don't know,
but it isn’t going to be the same...
This is more than a game . ..”
Neither of us looked at the
scoreboard which was bearing out
the fact that the teams were not an
even match. He continued shaking
his head sadly.
T asked him what they would do
next year, He said, “We'll find
another game—but it'll never be
the same.”
Jack Hastings expressed the senti-
ments of alumni from both colleges.
There was no jubilation at the Col-
gate game. Even the winners lost
something important.

HIGHER. COSTS have thinned the
number of advertisers who can af-
ford to sponsor a TV show. The
number dropped 50% in the 1959-
60 season. With fewer opportunities
to reach a potential customer dur-
ing a program because of multiple-
sponsorship, TV advertisers are
counting more heavily than ever on
the effectiveness of the individual
commercial.
Big names demand big salaries.
Mike Nichols and Elaine May re-
ceived $50,000 for creating and
performing a series of Jax Beer com-
mercials. Sample Nichols-May dia-
logue between a waitress and a
thirsty kangaroo:
Waitress: “How do I know you're.
not a kangaroo dressed up in a girl
suit 2”
Kangaroo: ‘How do I know you're
not a kangaroo dressed up in a
girl suit?”
The series proved so successful
that Narragansett Berr, which is
not sold in Jax territory, is paying
Nichols and May $150,000 to do new
soundtracks for the same cartoon.
Over-exposure has stepped up the
need for new faces. Young bit act-
ors and actresses are constantly be-
ing interviewed.
Even a brief commercial appear-
ance can prove lucrative to a per-
former. Each time the commercial
is shown the performer receives an
increase in payment. One actress
spoke five words during a 20-min-
ute recording session three years
ago and already has earned $5,000
with more to come.
Some companies have been forced
realistic, frequently at higher cost,
because of stricter policies adopted
by the Federal Trade Commission.
To avoid trouble with the FTC,
the manufacturer of a home cleaner
recently decided to stop adding ex-
tra bleach to its product when -it
was demonstrated before the cam-
era. Now additional time and effort
is needed to find household ‘dirt
that can be removed in a matter
of seconds. :
Another sponsor decided to use
his product instead of the sour
cream he formerly used in his hair
removal commercials. It took about
20 “takes” before everyone was sat-
isfied with the commercial. But the
model suffered a painful burn be-
cause the remover was on her skin
far longer than the few minutes
recommended by the manufacturer.
So sponsors are finding yoalism|
has its problems.
CYNTHIA PEPPER is the 20:yenre
older who portrays a 17-year-old
teenager in the weekly ‘Margie”
show, Her program has variously
been described as “the flip side of
“The Untouchables” and “a com-
bination of “Father Knows Best”
and “The Roaring ’20s”.
“Our show is completely different
from “The Untouchables” and “The
Roaring 20s as anybody knows,”
Cynthia says. “They emphasize the
crime of the era and, in so doing,
presents how the other people - the
ordinary people - lived.
“Ive learned that the teenagers
of those days were much more naive
and less ‘hep’ than those of today.
Whatever delinquency there was
then was adult delinquency.”
Cynthia attended Hollywood High
School. After graduation she land-

Her first regular part came last

North to Arm its Slaves -
WASHINGTON, Nov. 31—Secretary of War Simon Cameron
has dropped a political bombshell in the White House—a report
urging the arming of slaves for use as combat troops.
Cameron broadcast his message far and wide before learning
of President Lincoln's horrified reaction to it. The Pennsylvania
politician, war secretary since the Lincoln administration took
office March 4, sent copies to several newspapermen and to post
masters throughout the nation.
“It is clearly a right of the government to arm slaves,
when it may become necessary,” the report stated.
“If it should be found that slaves are capable of bearing arms
and performing efficient military services, it is the right, and
may become the duty, of the government to arm and equip them,
and employ their services against the rebels, under proper mili
tary regulations, discipline and command.”

MR. LINCOLN has been on record as believing that any talk of
abolition of slavery at this time—even a partial abolition such as
Cameron suggested—would torpedo efforts to keep the border -
states loyal to the North’s cause.
The chief executive proclaimed last month, in censuring Maj.
Gen. John Charles Fremont in Missouri, that abolition was not,
.and could not be, a key issue at this time.
‘Rather, in Mr. Lincoln’s view, northern and border states alike
should concentrate oh the preservation of the Union, with the
slavery question being deferred until military operations become
more decisive.
Aides quoted Mr. Lincoln as saying about the Cameron report:
“This will never do. He must take no such responsibility. This
is a question which belongs exclusively to me.” However, Cam-
eron reportedly has told intimates that he will stick with his
