NO MONEY FQR LIBRARIES To have a good free library system is to have an insurance policy on democracy. Yet our li braries, even in wealthy commu nities, find it hard to get enough new books and to replace old ones as they wear out. In some small communities, especially in rural areas, public libraries simply don’t exist. Following afe facts to illus trate the situation: Forty-five millioa Americans have no public libraries within their reach. Of the 3,100 counties in the United States, less than 300 have county-wide library service. As a whole the country spends 37 cents a year per capita for library service. Two states at the bottom of the list spend 2 cents a year per capita; the top state, Massachusetts, spends $1.08; while New York, one of the richest, spends only about 62 cents. In twenty-two states half or more of the population are with out free library service. —The Commentator Magazine. NO DOGS ALLOW E D There are no dogs, cats or baby carriages at the New York World’s Fair. Regulations exclude pets Babes in arms are admitted free but they must be “in arms.” LARGEST DELEGATION The largest single group to at tend the New York World’s Fair since its opening was a delegation of 8,000 students from New Ut recht High School in Brooklyn. They got in free, too, in accord ance with the fair’s policy of fre6 admission for the supervised city school groups. own By JiiTimie Downs We are happy to give you a guest columnist for this issue. ADVERTISE IN THE WATCHMAN Helen Woods Hutchinson, of Bal timore and the North Fork, who was graduated from Johns Hop kins University in 1938, and who recently terminated a tour of the good old U. S. A., travelling 8,000 miles, covering 27 states and parts of Mexico—that’s what we call doing one’s best to “see America first.” Miss Hutchinson (“Hutch” to her large circle of friends) intends to begin a “school ma’am” career this fall. Her ambitions remain a secret, but her favorite screen star is Jimmy Stuart. She likes pistachio ice cream and lots of excitement. Take it. Hutch! * * * My sincere thanks to Jimmy Downs for the honor of being his guest reporter. Since I am only a Long Isl ander by descent and summer residence, I shall not attempt to give you any choicey tid-bits, but rather a comprehensive view on the whole situation. Well, I parked my luggage just twenty-seven hours after the much talked of Tuthill-Fischer nuptials, so I only got the post mortems on the affair, but what I really want to know is why “Tut” ignored all his old romances, and didn’t even send them announce ments, let alone invites? For the information of those lit tle girls from Riverhead to the “Point” who are looking for new blood, have you seen those Power- boys of Shelter Island? They sport Hart- Schaffner and Marx and Dunhill clothes, not to men tion a yellow Packard—strictly Princeton, girls! Do you remember the pretty platinum blonde named “Del,’’ who used to make Bowden Square her rendezzvous? Well, she’s en gaged to Ira Jennings, of West chester, N. Y. If you don’t remem ber, ask Herb McCarthy about her. iH lit « Flashes From the Fair On your next trip in, be sure and take in the parachute, unless you’re seventeen and sophisti cated,' you’ll admit it’s a thrill. Then try the Bob-Sled for a round or two and lean the way the cars turn. After this, relax for a ride on the Water-Bug, and finish up with a jaunt on the boomerang, then take 3 aspirins in succession, try to straighten that Phillip coiffeur and walk to your automobile like you’re used to swinging every nite! Don’t forget to see the Aqua cade. The five and a half somer sault off the 60 foot board is ter rific, and if you don’t think so, try it on your piano sometime! Johnny Weismuller doen’t show his stroke, but then what do you expect for forty cents? Ladies—please note! Elenor Holms Jarrett dives in the water in the first act bare-headed and swims across the pool. She comes out not fifteen minutes later with her hair waved and dry—you fig ure that one out! ♦ ♦ ♦ Cracks Heard Around the F a i r grounds A dame: “Gee, I bet the fiag in the last act of the Aquacade cost $100!” I conservatively estimate it at $2,000. ANOTHER DAME: (at the opening of the Symphony) “Go.-h. I hate that old-fashioned music.” HER FRIEND: “Aw, that’s ’cause you don’t appreciate opera!” At the Telephone Building a woman on a free ‘call’ was talk ing to her sister in Colorado: “Well, I got this call free so that sort of makes up for A. T. & T. stock dropping last month, does- ’nt it?” Of the exhibits I liked the A. T. & T. Building, the Edison Building, and the movie about our country in the United States Building, the quotation on the Czech Building, General Motors and the meat balls in the Swedish restaurant. * * * Things I Found Out at the Fair That sore feet take a week to heal; that Grover Whalen charges too much for his Motor Cars ($1 for every 15 minutes); that pro- poganda is as thick as mosquitoes on a L. I. nite; that all the at tendants are cute college-boys; and that I spent $15 more than I had allowed for in my budget!! * * * And so you see—Women will always be—women . . . ! Your correspondent will con tinue with abbreviated bits from along the ‘prong’ --------- Mt. Pleasant has abandoned the Tap Room-idea this season—on account of what the neighbors say. Tsk tsk! * * * * we believe from current reports, that ONE of the Shell’s barmen is deserving of the title ‘Casanova’ * * * * The Chef at this same spot could be mistaken for the younger brother of the OTHER counter-man * * * George McBride’s “Columbians” are swinging it for the younger Elite at Beixedon, but ‘;‘Noddy” De Petris seemed more interested in victuals =\ * * * A very charm ing young lady, visiting at 514 Wiggins Street, in the Oyster sec tion, has been capturing the hearts of the local lads (and some not so local) without apparent effort. We give you Ruth Sweezey of the Mineola town * * * i- We and many others were surprised to note that Arshamomque Inn drew its final three brews, of the even ing, at approximately eleven bells (landlubber Time) last Satur day * * * * The personality mu sical group at the Shell spot has been surrounded with a dash of different scenery—in cooling col ors. Freddie says it was done—a la N’Yawk. <= * * * We learned at one famous spot, that Jitterbuging is not confined to the ‘Teen Age,’ alone * * * * The Dennis unit of Fury’s “Commanders” is rumored to have received a wire from Don Bestor concerning a “place.” Bob Baylis, formerly with a local band, helps swing it with that group * * * * A mob of forty very order ly friends and relatives landed at the W. C. Tuthill chateau Monday evening, after the junior hurri cane, and handed out the tradi tional post-nuptial serenade. Shot guns were conspicuous in their absence and only a handful of firecrackers and the receding thunder of the storm furnished an extremely conservative racket * * * * Don Menendez, Attorney at Law, has gathered enough vi tamin ‘D’ to last until another season. He leaves for Columbus, of the Ch-10 state, to work on his first Corporation case * * ♦ * An unhappy accident happened last Sabbath at the Pier bathing beach and in all seriousness we urge the swimming public to remember that humans aren’t made with gill or fin * * ♦ * An embarrassing situation it was, last Thursday evening, at the Sixth and Flint Street corner—for somebdy * * ♦ The “Ghost”-man’s anger has ap parently cooled a bit since that unfortunate nite when dancing feet made nasty marks on a new Dodge hood * * * • The Ellsworth lad has shown interest in a photo which originally hails from Mont clair, N. J.
