th, 1938 cos ——— 1] As a Man Thinketh By ANNETTE C. SYMMES ® McClure Newsnaver Syndicate, WNU Service, : F WAS after nine o'clock in the morning when Doris Wilson awoke and began arranging her memories of last night, and her im- pressions regarding what today was to bring forth. To begin with, she ‘had had a sharp quarrel with Stan about the car. Just because she wanted it especially today, to go te that tea at the Country club, he must have ‘business’ that demand- ed it. That meant she would have to go An the trolley—so plebeian!--she, 'who had been a beauty-parlor girl before Stan had made her mis‘ress iof his five-room flat, with all mode ern improvements! Horrid old flat, she hated it! Al- ready the furniture was out of style, and Stan wouldn't buy new! He wouldn't let her have in a woman but one day a week, either, nor let her send anything but the flat pieces ‘to the laundry. There were clothes in the set tubs this minute that had been there a week—and Stan hateful as could be, because he couldn't find a clean handkerchief. Well, she'd have to sozzle out a few, she sup- posed, to shut his yawp! i She rose and donned a soiled pink kimono and pink slippers, and drew a boudoir cap over her frowsy “bob.” Stan had got his own break- fast, and the dirty dishes were spread on the set tubs. Of course he had taken the last egg! There was nothing left but stale bread and coffee and corn-flakes for her! She threw fresh coffee in upon the ‘steeped grounds in the pot and filled it with water. At half-past eleven she began the interesting process of dressing. At 12:30 a rosy, curled, silk-clad, fra- grant creature who in popular par. lance ‘looked like a million dol- lars,” left the apartment and sought the China restaurant for her first decent food that day. Subsequently she took in the first afternoon offering of pictures at the “Elite” Picture Palace, and took SHORT SHORT STORY Complete in This Issue the trolley for the Country club at three. She had ordered no dinner and no supplies for next morning. -. * LJ Four hours before Doris woke that morning Susie Walker, on a farm 20 miles away, rolled sleepily out of bed and started her regular morning routine. With trimly ‘curled hair, and in a clean bunga- low dress with a practicable apron, she prepared breakfast for her hus- band and self, and put up kis din. ner, for he was working away frem home that day. The wash-water was hot and Sue filled the hand-ran washing machine while the children were dressing. Then, while fifteen-year-old Sam fin- ished his father's cheres and ten- ‘year-old Bertha scrambled eggs and made toast for her brothers and herself, twelve - year - old Tommy manfully ran the machine ‘so as te give mother a good start.” Sue bus- tled about, emptying the machine, ‘filling the boiler, when required, with clothes to boil, and putting up three lunches, so that when the school bus came by at 8:15 the children would be ready. After they were safely off she shut off the stove, left the washing to care for itself and, with a long coat over her, skipped half a mile down the road to Mrs. Brown’s house. There was a new baby, and the nurse had been taken ill and gone home before the mother was able to get about; so every day Sue ran in and bathed and dressed the baby and made the mother comfortable and advised and oversaw the inex- perienced young girl who was do- ing the work and ‘helping out.” It was ten o’clock when she got back, but the fire had kept and more than half thé white clothes were boiled off. She turned to with a will, and by twelve the last stocking flapped on the line. “Lucky I don’t have to get din- ner today,” she reflected, eating warmed-up potatoes and cold meat on a corner of the kitchen table. The chickens and the old horse had to be fed, the dishes washed, rooms tidied, beds made, after this. She had to pump all the water in the sink and heat all she used over the stove. She had oil lamps to fill and trim, too. But she had time for a few minutes’ rest on the couch be- fore the children came from school Dishes washed and clothes fold- ed, father suggested a family ride in the flivver. Leaning back in the car, the tired ache seeping out of her limbs, the children’s chatter in her ears and father's brown hand on the wheel, Sue sighed from a full heart, “I believe I'm the lucki- est woman in the world.” - * In a restaurant 20 miles away a thunderous-looking young man and a sulky-looking woman were finish- ing their meal. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20th, 1938 re — eee Local Bridge Cut, Story In N. York Paper The “Times” Features Cris- well Wood Cut In Article On Covered Bridges Over Chickies Creek & Elsewhere The observance of Columbia's Sesquicentennial was further en- hanced last week by an article which appeared on Sunday in the New York Times descriptive of the old covered bridges which still exist in this part of the county. Illustrated by a wood cut by Col- umbia’s own artist, Gardiner C. Criswell, the bridge which stil! stands over Chicquies Creek was the subject of the following in- teresting article which we quote below: Covered Bridges Still Found The 1938 motorist, whether out in a snapper new model or a car of 1930 vintage, experiences a thrill when he crosses a covered briiige. This type of bridge defi- nitely belongs to passing America and about each of them some aura or life of other days still clings. Some of them approximate the date of the Revolution, others are only a century old, many belong to the Civil War period, and a few date later than the Seventies. Highways off the main road offer the best chances of finding them, since the coming of trucks and moving vans has necessitated the building of steel and concrete topless bridges. Sentiment has not stood in the way of the progress of industrial transportation. The covered bridge is a subject that appeals to both artists and photographers. Print makers are prone to relax with this interesting subject, which ranks with old mills and weathered ‘barns as a favorite theme in photographic and art ex- hibitions. : Those who wish to route a day’s drive or a week’s tour over roads where these bridges may be found THE MOUNT JOY BULL ee — ETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO. PA. Thrills Aplenty At New for Women York Fair, 1939 N EW YORK (Special). — The thrill capital for women next year will be the New York World's Fair. Designers, merchants, manu- facturers, artists, governments— all “the authorities”—have seen to that. And yet, uniquely enough, there will be no “woman’s building” at the $150,000,000 exposition. Fair officials at the outset decided against such “segregation.” Gro- ver A. Whalen, president of the Fair Corporation, said that “a wo- man’s building at a modern-day exposition would not be in tune with the progress of womankind.” Now, in this last year of con- struction, it is already obvious that woman is going to have her due at the New York fair. Those fortunate enough to attend are going to know thrills that will live with them always. The following pre- sents only a pot-shot at all there will be to interest and delight wo- men in the 1216% acres of fair grounds. It is one observer's idea of what to see where. Some of the Wonders House of Jewels —a $5,000,000 display, by gem mining concerns and leading jewelers, showing stones in the rough, precious gems in finest settings, famous gems and perfect examples of goldsmith’'s and silversmith’s art. Apparel and Accessories — in their own building along Petticoat Lane — a $750,000 exhibit of all dear to woman in her costuming and in furs, hats, handbags and similar wearables or gadgets. Cosmetics Building — showing just about everything ever done since the history of beauty aides and preparations began a few thousand years ago—with accent on the cosmetics and perfumes of today and a look at those of tomor- row. (They put thousands of dol- lars’ worth in the cornerstone alone.) Hall of Textiles — showing how they (worms to machines) make woven fabrics—hand looms, dem- onstrations of needle arts, dis- courses on home furnishing mate- rials—silks and woolen here, ray- ons in one wing, cottons in anoth- er, 68,098 square feet, to be exact, Health and Science Home Furnishings Building— “heart of the Community Interests Zone,” with its focal display show- ing the meaning of “Home” in present and future phases and how to create one of your own—all in exhibits that thrill, Medicine and Public Health and Science and Education Building— a “famous first” exhibit showing the wonders to be accomplished by due attention to the “body beauti- ful”—a must attraction that’ll not leave one with a dull moment. Gas Industries Building—every- thing from a laboratory to an all- gas house, a cooking school and a gas flame 50 feet high—spectacu- lar but looking to comfort at home. Food Buildings 1, 2 and 3—put- ting romance into the age-old task of fixing a meal, by and with the world’s knowledge and products. Horticultural Exhibit—acres of gardens, flowers and equipment (with a chance for a cup of tea). Thrills in a Lifetime Theme Centre—thrill of a life- time from a ride on the “Magic Carpet” through the 200-foot globe and the World of Tomorrow. Contemporary Arts Building— World’s Fair Theatre (music and drama)—Consumer Building—an “Hospitality Centre,” first of its kind, for feminine get-togethers— spectacles on the island stage of New York State’s Amphitheatre on Fountain Lake—products and kitchens of the world in two score foreign-built pavilions — the Hall of Nations, the Court of State Buildings, the $3,000,000 Federal Exhibit — buildings of industries and the City of New York—night- ly spectacles of water-fire-color- and-sound—280 acres of amuse- ments—and, withal, a setting of courts and garden with an ample supply of shaded benches. Refreshment to go on and on may be had in any one of some 80 restaurants, affording a total of 43,200 seats, and serving the meals of almost every known nation. And — perhaps most thoughtful provision of all — the youngsters can be parked in the Children’s World where they’ll be happy and of allied exhibits. well-cared for. can get information from the State highway departments in the terri- tory they plan to cover. In the East there is still a mild profusion of covered bridges, although occa- sionally reports lead one to believe that practically all of them have been destroyed or replaced. Connecticut has preserved but three, while Vermont still has more than 200 and Pennsylvania more than 300. Maine, New York and New Hampshire together have sixty of these old structures re- maining, Early settlers used wood, the most available material, for bridg- ing streams, as they forged west- ward. Builders, many of them amateurs, devised with great in- genuity bridges on trussed, hand- hewn rameworks. They used white pine, cedar, hemlock, oak and other durable woods that grew in the forests. Many of the bridges were constructed as temporary crossings, but their strength proved surpris- ing, and both the years and traffic flowed over them without Mileage Hints By J. F. Winchester Bupervisor of Motor Vehicle Equipment, Esso Marketers HEN % ‘motorist knows that the combustion chamber of his car generates a heat of 3,000 degrees F., he must have a great deal of respect for the efficiency of the cooling system which makes the operation o yd his car poss Brad ble. Further, he should realize fl the importance of good care of that system and promptly reme- dy any damage or wear which wi impairs the ef- ficiency of the system. ; Of course, all of the heat gener- ated by combustion is not dissi- pated through the cooling system. The upper cylinder wall, for in- stance, may reach a maximum tem- perature of 600 degrees F. and the lower cylinder wall 400 degree F. The temperature fa the crankcase is normally about 200 degrees F. All this means that the thin film of motor oil which keeps metal from rubbing on metal and pro- tects the moving parts from wear must 3 withstand a temperature about twice as great as that re- uired to boil water. It is not easy ID realize when one sees fresh oil impairing their continued useful- ness. If the passing motorist is lucky enough to catch the moment when a load of hay is passing through abridge, he will do well to step his engine and race under cover to listen to the horses’ hoofs and to smell the imprisoned fragrance of new-mown hay. He will catch an unforgettable impression of the America that was.
