Methodists Enjoy Rainy Day Picnic Twenty-five car loads of Methodist picnickers experienced a memorable rainy day yesterday. The caravan of modern motor vehicles left the Main street at 0:45 a. m. for Sherwood Is- land Park north of Westport on the shore. A few strayed from the straight and narrow path on the way but eventually Harold Truran accounted for all cars. For the first hour and a half the pic- nickers watched the rain between the switching back and forth of windshield wipers. Finally the children who made up the bulk of the party put on a swim riot and burst forth in bathing suits for salt water. ' Meanwhile tfhe parents went into consultation concerning a dry spot to eat. There wasn't one of the kind in sight. A prayer went up for bright ideas and it was soon answered—let's all go to the Putnam Park pavilion between Bridgeport and Bethel. To this came a chorus of Amens. With some difficulty the dhfldren and a few of the old but still young group were sold on the Idea. Leaving the Park in groups of five sections as there were five different leaders who knew a better and shorter way to get to Putnam Park. Accord- ing to Mr. Donley he was trailing sec- tion three headed by Mr. Truran, who took a route through Bridgeport—and how. With twenty-five car loads of food and hungry children spread out over southeastern Connecticut Mr. Donley decided it was time to do something. By driving at top speed over a for- gotten road the Professor headed off his neighbor and then located a Bridgeport policeman, who was only too willing to relieve the city of its added congestion of traffic and hastily gave Mr. Donley a lead out toward Danbury. The dinner hour long past due, the children began to untie packages of sandwiches while back seat driving mothers performed O-Men duties. About half way to Putnam Park our informant came on three other sec- tions of the original caravan headed in the opposite direction. Thou shalt go west was the command and by three p. m. all cars were accounted for at Putnam Park but one—Mr. Tru- ran's. In the Truran car were such neces- sities as eating^ utensils and the des- sert—some eight or ten watermellons. With Mr. Truran was Dan Bloomer, who has traveled the roads in that sec- tion a hundred times, but Dan decid- ed to enjoy the life of a passenger and let the deacon.work out his own sal- vation. The hunger situation at Putnam Park paralleled the trials of Gen. Israel Putnam and bis half starved Contin- ental Army, with Gen. Truran twenty miles away, perhaps. Just as Rev. Dann was about Co work out a few loafs and fishes up drove Mr. TYuran amid a welcome and wherein h 1 have you been. In less time than it takes to tell it the feast was spread and all hands voted it a successful rainy day pic- nic, more varied in Interest than usual. Mrs. Timmc Thanks Republican Women Women's Republican clob of Putnam County, New York July 24th, 1935 The Brewster Standard, Brewster, N. Y. Dear Editor: Will you please put this letter in a very prominent place in your paper, so that it cannot fail to reach all those for whom it is intended. I want to thank most heartily the women of the Women's Republican Club of Putnam County for the splen- did, efficient way they worked to make the Card Party held at my home in Cold Spring, Saturday even- ing. July 20th, a success. It was due to their untiring efforts that the Party went over the top be- yond our best expectations, and put the Club on a good financial basis. We hope, too, that our guests en- joyed the evening Of cards, refresh- ments and social get-together and look forward to greeting them again at some future occasion. Friends to Celebrate 103rd Anniversary The Friends Church of Yorktown Heights will be celebrating its 103rd anniversary beginning next Sunday, July 28th, when the Purchase Quart- erly meeting will unite with them in services at 11 a .m. and 3 p. m. At the morning service George Selleck of Har- vard University will deliver a special anniversary address on the subject, \The Quaker Contribution to the Life and Thought of America.\ In the af- ternoon a fraternal service to which members of both branches of Friends are invited to participate will be held. All having Quaker garb are asked to appear in it, to give the flavor* of the old time. The public is invited to at- tend all these services. Who Is Lord Of The Farm? American Farmers See the A. A. A. Hostile to Their Right to Raise Crops Needed by Their Children and Their Live Stock. Growing Children Upset Many Things, So A. A. A. is Likely to Fall for Them as We All Do. Senator Fearon sent us a long story about the farmer which recalls the days when officials of the Department of Water Supply of New York City faced the shot guns of Putnam farm- ers defending their property against the condemnation proceedings that made way for the impounding of brooks and lakes to serve. the people on the sidewalks of New York. Mr. Fearon, touching on the public utterances of President Roosevelt af- ter the Supreme Court declared NRA unconstitutional, says in part as fol- lows: In his- now famous interview com- menting on the decision of the Su- preme Court which declared the NRA unconstitutional, President Roosevelt gave utterance to several statements which now he undoubtedly wishes he had left unsaid. He was obviously mov- ed by peevishness over the wreck of his plans to carry out what he called a \controlled economy\ in this coun- try. His guard was down for a moment. The nation, for a second, caught a glimpse of what was going on in his mind, and was able to grasp the mo- tives that underlie many of his poli- cies. \Nothing was more significant in this revealing interview (between President Roosevelt and the press) than his statement that the constitutional prin- ciples laid down in the Supreme Court decision would mean, if applied to the Agricultural Adjustment Act,\ a re- turn \to the old policy that every farmer was a lord on his own farm, free to raise whatever and as much of any crop as he-pleased.\ \Mark Sullivan commenting on Una declaration rightly declared that there was a time when such an utterance alone would mean the* probable defeat of any candidate for the presidency. Since when has the American farmer not been a \lord on his own farm?\ If the American farmer is not lord on his own farm, who is? Is the idea that a man's home is his castle, that a man has a right to do as he pleases with his own property as long as he does not interfere with similar rights of his neighbors another one of those \horse and buggy\ ideas, another \out worn and outmoded' 'American princi- ple that should be thrown into the dis- card? \It is an extraordinary thing that in this strange interlude in American history, which began with the elec- tion of Franklin D. Roosevelt, there should continually come to light strik- ing similarities between the policies of the Administration at Washington and those of Soviet Russia. None is so striking, it seems to me, as this con- ception, that a man's land is not rightfully his own to do with as he pleases.\ \The Mikado\ Tonight At Rockridge Since heavy rains prevented many patrons of the Rockridge Outdoor Theatre at Carmel from attending last week's performance of 'The Mikado.\ Manager N. E. Reeid has decided to re- peat this opera on Friday and Satur- day of this week, and to defer the pre- sentation of \The Pirates of Penzance\ until next week. Those who witnessed Saturday night's performance of \The Mikado\ were unstinted in their praise, not only of the artists' fine work, but also of the mis-en-scene and the effective lighting. My heartiest thanks to all our help- ers. IDA N. TTMME, President Women's Rep. Club of Putnam County. Art Exhibition Holds The Limelight Fine Collection of Paintings and Sculp- ture in Memorial • Hall, Carmel, Draws Dally Visitors from Near and Far. Exhibit Open Dally Afternoons 12-8 Until Aug. 17. The first annual art show of the Carmel Art Association of Putnam County opened last Saturday with a private view, reception and tea to Its members. The occasion was an un- usual and festive one, with artists, collectors and laymen gathered' to- gether, lending interest, support and enthusiasm. The show itself is a diverse and in- teresting one, exceedingly well hung, and with the interest well distributed among the paintings. With four mem- bers of the National Academy and eight associate academicians exhibit- ing, the general flavor of the show is that of conservatism, but upon closer inspection, the works of the younger men and women tend towards a rea- sonable modernism and experimenta- tion. Of particular Interest to Putnam county residents are the works of local artists, of whom there are twenty-one exhibiting, namely: Ernest Hamlin Baker, Harry P. Butler, Raymond Campbell, Charles Keck, Grace Neal, Jerome Myers, Blanche Sloat of Carmel. Edmond. Amateis, Ilonka Karasz, Salvatore Lascari, Hil- da Lascarl, Hermon MacNeil, Carol Brooks MacNeil, Lydia Rahlson of Brewster. Anna Brohmer, Margaretha Brohmer, Luise Kainz, Martin Kainz, Margaret Lohnert, Dr. Victor Olso, of Crafts, and Miss Zelma Baylos of Ma- hopac Falls. About one hundred and fifty mem- bers and guests attended the opmhg. Of the fifty-six artist members in the association forty-three were present, and the consensus of opinion among them was that the first show does great credit to the Carmel Art Asso- ciation by being the best country show they have even seen. Th floral decorations in the hall were supplied and arranged by Mrs. Leslie P .Dodge and Mrs. C. Monford Cole of the Mahopac Garden Club. The tea table, covered by a lace cloth, with solid silver tea service and with pink roses and delphiniums In silver bowls graced by Miss Mary Beaver White of Gipsy Trail Club who pour- ed, made a charming picture. Assist- ing Miss White were the Misses Mar- tha Sigglekow and Mary Dudley Wiley. Miss Harriett Stuart, of Brewster, pre- sided at the solid silver punch bowl. The executive officers acted as re- ception committee and introduced all members to the artists. Although the hours of the reception were from three to five, it was long after six when the last guest departed. The exhibition will be open dally until August 17th, with a hostess in charge, and it is indeed an opportunity that is already being utilized both by county residents and tourists to see a first class show in the country. Mrs. Harry P. Butler, of Carmel, win be hostess at the tea on Saturday af- ternoon, July 27th. Beginning Monday, July 29th, the exhibition will be in charge of mem- bers from Brewster, with Miss Harriett Stuart as chairman. Special Services Held At St. James Church There was an interesting service at St. James Episcopal church of North Salem last Sunday, which was in com- memoration of the recent Jubilee held throughout the British Empire. Mr. Roger B. Stevens, British Vice Ooun- 6ul in New York, as a representative of His Majesty, King George V, gave a short talk on Tradition and the Rev. Raymond C. Knox, Chaplain of Columbia University, read the lessons. All this is closely related to the his- tory of St. James Parish, which was founded during the Reign of King George n, by the Venerable Society in 1767, and the first Minister, the Rev. E. Townsend, was a graduate of Old King College, now Columbia, which was also founded by the Ven- erable Society. Mr. Stevens also hap- pens to be a direct descendant of the printer of the Bible and Prayer Book which was presented to the Parish by this Society when it was founded and which has been preserved in good con- dition by the family of Mr. Floyd Keeler, who now has it in his posses- sion. The Bible and Prayer Book were on display during the services. 13th Putnam Boy At Plattsburg It gives us added pleasure to make a correction in the list of Putnam county boys at Plattsburg which was published two weeks ago. Theodore Agor, the son of Edward S. Agor, County Clerk, was not among those listed from Mahopac Falls. Theodore is making this his third consecutive year at Plattsburg and undoubtedly because of this fact that his name was not on the list sent to us from Governors Is- land. Republicans Endorse Stephens, Agor, Bailey, Donohoe On Thursday evening at the meet- ing of the County Committee of the Republicans of Putnam County Henry H. Wells, Mayor of Brewster, M. Campbell Lorlni, president of the Republican Club of Carmel, the larg- est paid-up membership club on re- cord, Karl Perlini of Putnam Valley and others told the story of the ser- vices rendered by Edward S. Agor, county clerk, chairman of the Com- mittee, Assemblyman Stephens, Judge Bailey and District Attorney Donohoe the candidates designated to carry the party program to the voters and to the polls in November. The gentlemen named above ac- knowledged the cheers of the audi- ence and spoke briefly on their de- sires to.continue the service that keeps the people in Putnam in high spirits In spite of high water. Dr. F. J. Mc- Kown and Dr. Frank Genovese were designated coroners. Hon. Hamilton Fish, Hon. Emerson Clark and Hon. Edward D. Stannard are on the Va- cancy Committee. Clayton Ryder, Judge Bailey, F. L Shelp and Henry Lusk are named delegates to the Judi- cial Convention. The absence of Representative Hamil- ton Fish, Jr., was noted with regret, and expressions of commendation of his services were general. Resolutions of respect to the stalwarts of the party who have passed on, Senator James E. Towner, Judge James Murty, George B. Griffith and George Witheridge, were unanimously adopted. Mrs. Henry R. Caraway, president of the Woman's National Republican Club, and Seabury C. Mastlck, chair- man of the Tax Revision Commission, spoke at the regional meeting of Re- publican women held on Tuesday af- ternoon at the home of Mrs. Albert H. Mathews and aroused enthusiasm for a program designed to intensify the support of Republican women to aid the party in upholding the Con- stitution and relieving the tax situa- tion.

Butler Opens Art Classes at Carmel On Tuesday and Thursday morning Harry P. Butler conducts classes in portraiture and landscape painting at his studio. Carmel, N. Y. From ten o'clock until one students work under his direction and pleasing results are anticipated. Theodore Douglas, local telephone linesman, owes his life to the fact that nature made wood a very un- satisfactory conductor of electricity but he had a rare thrill last Saturday afternoon when he climbed a pole which was receiving the full force of 4,600 volts of current. Due to the natural non-conductivity of the pole, Mr. Douglas was aware of the danger only by a burning sensation in his hands when he picked up a telephone wire he was repairing. The narrow escape was occasioned as a result of Saturday's severe elec- trical storm which disrupted telephone service In several sections. Mr. Doug- las was dispatched to investigate the trouble on the line between the Michael Parrell farm and Clinton Burns' home. He discovered a fallen wire and was replacing it on one of the line of poles which serve a dual purpose as support for both power and telephone wires through the woods in this area. Arrived at the Burns house, the linesman told of the \shocking\ con- dition of the pole and Mr. Burns promptly notified the Associated Gas and Electric company. Their lines- men were dispatched and discovered that the lightning had blown out an \arrester\ on a transformer box, which hung on the pole, thus allowing the full force of the 4,600 volts conveyed on this line to enter the pole. The trouble wa« soon rectified. \Ted\ Douglas is the man who dis- tinguished himself by rescue work in a terrible bus accident between Mt.
