QUAKERTOWN .... visit
'I'hc iitlier (lay we got into the
ear and motored out Ui Qiiaker-
town, I’a., where iny friend Charley
Meredith run^. one of the be^t
riiuntry weekly newsjjapers 1 know
of, the Quakertown I'ree l’re;-s.
I was struck by the ajjparent
jjro'-perity of that section. I talked
with several bti^iness men and a
number of farniers in I'ucks
County. .It’s gfiod farming coimtry
and there is no distress that I
could learn of among the fanners
there. Very few lieojile are on re
lief. Alxjut the only sign of rcdirf
actii'ities are the train-loads of city
unemployed sent out to work on
sDine projects in the southern iiart
of the country.
Self-reliance is a traditional char
acteristic of tlK-se sturdy Quaker
and “I’ennsvlvania DiUtch” peoide.
HOUSES 2-ft. walls

sandstofne and limestone, and the
early settlers did what th'C first set
tlers in every new country always
do—build their homes of the native
material close at hand.
We hear a great deal about “pre
fabricated” homes, built of steel or
plastic slabs made in fiictories, and
1 have no doubt that we shall see
great developments in that line. I5ut
1 think they will be mostly erected
in city suburbs. They are not likely
to re])lace local materials, .where
those are available, assembled by
local labor in country districts
where almost every man can turn
his hand to cariientry or masonry.
WASHINGTON .... crossing
W'e crossed the Delaware River
at the very spot where Ceorge
Washington crossed it in a rowboat
on his historic retreat fr.'.m 'I'ren-
ton. The bridge at Washington’s
Crossing connects two state parks,
one maintained by I'ennsyUania
and the other by New Jersey.
Paralleling the Delaware River
on both sides are canals, dug by
early colonists to iirovide safe navi
gation no matter what the stage of
the water was in the ri\er. J5oth
canals have been long since
abandoned cxcept as millraces for
occasional sawmills and gristmills
along the river bank. But the .State
of I’ennsylvania is making a ]>ark I goX SUPPER
a hundred miles long out of the
banks and bed of tire old Delaware
Canal, to ])rovide picnic and recrea
tion grounds and smooth, safe wa
ters for canoeing.
Even an abandoned canal has its
uses.
GADGETS .... some wanted
1 saw a new gadget the other
day which its makers tell rn'c is
selli.ng faster than they can turn it
out. It is a garbage grinder that
you put in the kitchen sink. It
grinds the table and kitchen waste
to a fine powder which is then
washed down the drain, saving all
the labor and smells of garbage
cans and their emptying.
It struck me that its i.n\entor
was a genius. It takes a genius to
foresee that people are going to
want something which hasn’t yet
been made.
h'orty years ago there was no
public demand for automobiles or
radios. Nobody had ever seen them
so iiiQ'body knew that they wanted
them. Half of the things that w)-
men ,buy in the stores -arc things
they did not know they wanted
until they saw. them in th; show
windows.
Too many inventors, on the other
hand; make the mistake of trying
to produce something which they
think peo'ple ought to have, with
out knowing enough about human
nature to realize that the things
we ought to have are not always
the things we \v:ant.
SPORT the rules
1 have no sympathy with the con
ception of sport as .an organized
business. Even the so-called ama
teur sports are becoming largely
lhat.
] confess, however, that I am
unable to share the ])opular indig
nation over the dismissal of Mrs
I^.leanor Hohn Jarrett from the
Olymptic swimming team for break
ing the training rules. Mrs. Jarrett
l>ersiste(l in staying u)) late and
drinking champagne on the ship
that took the Olympic team oxei
to (iermany, and for that she was
as I see it, properly disciplined.
'I'he essence of si)ortsmanshiii i
to play the game according to the
ruK’s. If the player does not like
the rules, he is a bum sport if he
breaks them. He vr rh.e can always
iiuit the game. 15nt 1 don't see that
the player in any sport who volun
larily agrees to the rules has any
i^ht to break them.
W'hat counts in any game, in
cluding the game of life, is not si
nxuch wiiuiing as in gi\ing the best
one has.
