June Drought Sets Three New Records At Pumping Station

Prolonged Hot Spell Places Added Load On Water System — More Than 16 Million Gallons Pumped In Week

VIEWS OF THE NEWS

By LEONARD F. JAMES

It is high time that the Ameri-,in Medical association ended its double-talk and got down to honest discussion of medical in-surance. The pace set by the as-sociation can do much to help or hinder the problem. The present approach does little more than cloud the issue. The AMA damns socialized medicine and Praises health plans. But its praise re-flects the exaggerated claims ' of the frontier snake-oil salesman. The danger is that what the AMA appears to offer on the label may not be found in the bottle.

It is assumed that when the president of the AMA speaks, he does so for the association. Such a deduction is fair enough in tine light of recent AMA actions in ordering the editor of their Journ-al to cease speaking on contro-versial subjects, give no inter-views except of scientific matters, and submit all editorials for ap-proval. Presumably, other officials will reflect tile association's views. A recent debate its a national snag-nine offers a good example of AMA double-talk. Examination of tatements made will reveal what

may be politely termed a nodding acquaintance with facts. Government Insurance Or Tax?

Dr. Sensenich, president of the AMA. in criticizing tine national health insurance bills before con-fess denieS that they are insur-

No Separate Tax On Television Sets

Video Just One of Many Items In The Personal Property Tax Return

Shanty of the complaints being registered with the assessors by various taxpayers against what they term "a tax on television sets" have been due chiefly to a misunderstanding of the personal property tax.

Television sets are not taxed separately. They are included as an item under the heading of "household furniture and effects" in the personal property tax re-turns.

The personal property tax is the oldest in Maaachusette, the assessors point out. The law re-quires that each owner of personal property make a returns of this property on or before January 31.

Personal property includes a great number of items. Among them ate hooks, pictures, rugs, works of art, silver, dishes; also musical instruments including pianos, photographs, radios and videos with their equipment; watches, jewelry, precious stones and metals; garage and stable equipment, and many other items.

None of there are taxed sepa-rately, and this applies to televi-slots as well as all other items. The returns is for the information of the assessor to assist hies ins de-termining the tax, if any.

The worst June drought in re-cent years, which caused wide-spread crop damage in all New England states, placed an extra load on the local water service and saw three all-time records broken id the pumping station on Lowell street last week.

Andover Inventor Receives Patent For Bird Retriever

longitudinally to the bottom of the float. The hook is again bent hack upon itself tip that it terminates in a downwardly projecting engaging-point; and, to complete the assem-bly, a line or cord is attached to the loop formed by the hook just below the spot where it enters the aforementioned hole.

In the use of Mr. Miller's appli-ance/ the line, which is coiled loose-ly on the ground, is held in one hand while the retriever is thrown with the other hand to a point slightly beyond the bird. Thereupon. by a slow pulling action, the device will be caused to slide upon the bird so that its neck or wings will lie gripped by the point of the hook. Obviously, the bird may then be pulled through weeds, bushes or Ice without readily being severed from the hook, for the harder the latter is pulled, the firmer the hold on the bird.

According to Mr. Miller, his con-trivance is maintained in its most effective position in the water be-cause the insertion of the hook into the float prevents any relative twisting between these two ele-ments.

The application for this patent was filed on April 4, 1947.

Readers rarely agree in all re-spects as to which hooks deserve place on such lists as "Best Books Of Last Year," or books that win national prizes, or even the ones that appear on best-seller lists. So it seems absurd to suppose that any two young people would choose ex-actly the same 12 titles for a home library.

A little study of the top 15 winners in the recent contest, sponsored by the Memorial Hall library, and open to grades '7- 9, and 10 -12, proved that several had been chosen by more than one of the contestants in this group. Ten of them chose "The Robe" by Lloyd C. Douglas, eight girls and two boys, and there were two votes for a second book by this author, "The Big Fisher-man." Five girls and one boy named "Jane Eyre," and four girls and one boy selected "Arundel," by Kenneth Roberts.

This seemed a bit surprising, as Roberts is usually a man's author; four girls all chose the following books: "Little Women," "The Bible" and "Ivanhoe." Two girls and one boy included tite Gunther book, "Death Be Not Proud," and the same ratio chose "Gone With The Wind." "Ben Hur," "Friend Of Caesar," "David Copperfield" and "Tale Of Two Cities" all drew three votes, anti pairs of girls named "Ethan Frame," "Idylls Of The King," "House Of Seven Gables," Helen Keller's autobiography, • d "Les Miserables."

Shakespeare appeared on seven of the top 15 lists, with one repeat of "The Merchant Of Venice."

All three prize winners had the title "The Robe" as one of the 12 books named; some contestants chose with an eye to the "ageless-ness" of the subjects; some defin-itely found their present day inter-ests so attractive that they didn't plait to change them too much with the passing years; many named books that they had read very re-vently, and a surprising number were required reading or book re-port books, which more or less proves that good books are fun if young people can be encouraged to read them.

AIDS AUTO MANUFACTURE A development of great value to

the manufacturers of automobiles has been the perfection of a method by which wood tones and wood designs are pre-printed on a large flat metal sheet before fab-rication into instrument boards, moldings, and parts for interior trim. Great simplification, time-savings and avoidance of much handwork are thus achieved. First, the primer and ground coat are ap-plied. Next comes the printing of the graining or wood tone design. Third, the application of the final glaze coat of lacquer. A unique feature of the new method lies in the engineering of the photo-graphed design to allow for dis-tortion of curves and angles of the car interior, which parts were pre-viously finished by hand.

The Rev. Mr. Reynolds also an-nounced that Roger Dea had achieved the "God and Country" medal and that a formal presenta-tion was scheduled for the following Sunday morning during services. He urged other boys to work for the three preliminary awards and the ultimate medal award.

View Site of War Memorial In 'Vale

The board of public works Wed-nesday evening visited Ballardvale, where with the memorial committee of that district they viewed a site on the playground 'opposite the fire house where it is proposed to erect a stone monument in memory of the 'Vale veterans of both world wars.

The committee is headed by Wil-liam Reilly, and also includes Wil-liam !McIntyre, Elwin Russell, Eu-gene Zalla, Timothy Haggerty, James Butler and Miss Marjorie Davis. The monument will he erec-ted in a plot set off from the equip-ment on the playground.

The board announced that sev-eral pumping records were broken at the pumping station during the past week but without the recently installed new intake and water line Andover would have had to draw water from other sources.

The department has installed six cement bases for see-saws on the playgrounds for the recreation com-mittee in preparation for the open-ing June 27.

Steel for the Central street bridge is expected to arrive July 9. It is also expected that the bridge will be closed today or tomorrow for about four weeks while the work is being done. A temporary foot bridge will be erected for pedes-trians.

EDITORIAL. THOUGHTS SWIMMING HAZARDS

School vacations and hot weather make a combination that cannot help but drive many a youngster to the nearest swimming hole in search of relief.

While having his fun in the water and enjoying this whole-some form of recreation it is disturbing to realize that drowning accidents increase greatly during the summer months and are usually found to be the cause of most fatal accidents during June, July and August.

Many communities try to take the hazard out of swim-ming by providing supervised bathing places, but even with this precaution Young America will frequently find some in-viting pond or stream nearer home for a cooling dip. The adventurous youth gives little thought to personal safety under these conditions and frequently invites disaster by not taking some of the common precautions that go with swimming.

Among the several suggestions advanced by safety author-ities are one or two that stand out and which should be stressed by parents at this season of the year. One is, never swim alone, which means that some help will always be at hand. Another is, never dive into unfamiliar waters as a rock or submerged log may knock you out.

Andover's only supervised bathing beach will not open at Pomp's pond until next week. Meanwhile, many a lad will be taking his dip in some favorite spot along the banks of the Shawsheen or in one of the ponds of the town. If he is your boy, urge him to take more than ordinary precaution in this particular form of summer recreation.

THE ANDOVER TOWNSMAN — JUNE 23, 1949 6

FIRE .IN THE FORESTS Summer and fall constitute two of the most serious fire

periods in this country. Forests and fields dry out, awaiting only the touch of a spark to burst into flame. Tourists throng the highways. Thousands of campers go into the woods. Com-mercial camps and vacation spots of all kinds run at capacity.

Every year sees the destruction of magnificent forests, ac-companied by a tragic toll of wildlife. Some forest fires do occur spontaneously, from lightning or other natural causes. But a far greater number can be attributed to human care-lessness and ignorance. The motorist who throws burning cigarette butts and matches from his car, and the camper who leaves a fire without dousing it with water and burying it with earth until every spark is out and every ember is cold, are two of the worst offenders. The whole nation is the poorer because of them.

A plain duty confronts everyone who goes into the out-doors for any reason. It is to protect a heritage which, once destroyed, may take centuries to replace. The various public and private bodies which deal with fire are doing a fine job. They are making available to all simple, easy rules for fire safety. They maintain patrols and fire fighting organizations. But they can do little without public cooperation. A forest fire can spread with incredible swiftness, and be completely beyond control in a matter of minutes under certain conditions.

Make the most of the woods — and save them for the future.

BACK OF MODERN RETAILING When we go shopping, most of us take it for granted that

the stores will have what we want. We may patronize chains, independents, or any other kind of retail outlet. Whatever the kind, we expect to find a wide selection of goods, intelligent salespeople, a courteous welcome, and good service. That ex-pectation is usually justified.

The vanished crossroads emporium didn't have to give much effort to pleasing the customers — it had a monopoly of the local business and people took what it offered and paid the price or went without. Then, as the nation grew and trans-portation improved, more stores were opened. Real competition appeared. The inefficient merchant, or the merchant who wonted to earn an excessive profit, found that the going was getting tougher. The chains came along and pioneered the idea of mass distribution with a very small profit on each sale. The independents followed suit and met the new competition suc-cessfully.

We see the result today. The typical small town store carries the same kind of goods that are found in huge metro-politan stores. Prices are about the same. Displays, service, and sanitation are comparable. And the reason for it is com-petition, which is the staunch protector of the consumer's interest.

Stores of the future will be better than those of today, just as those of today are better than those of the past. Merchants will continue to try to outdo the man next door, and to offer more inducements. And that will work to the advantage of everyone.

ttitee and regards them as tax bills, since they demand compul-sory contributions. There he's right, because they don't spread insurance risks among only those choosing to he insured. Factually the doctor is correct. But it may he asked whether the factual answer solves the real problem of adequate medical care for all who need it. What of those who feel they can't afford proper medical care? That is really the problem that congress is trying to tackle, whether the means they propose is sound or not. For there's a vast difference between needing medical care and being able to afford it. Full Year's Care For 1932-- Says the AMA

Then the doctor becomes un-scientific, applOng what looks very much like guesses rather than accurate tests for his solu-tion. He claims that such services as "doctors . . . nurses . . . hospi-tal charges . . . special treatments . . . blood transfusions" can be purchased by prepaid voluntary plans for the daily cost of one package of cigarettes. The reader would without doubt be very eager to find any local or national voluntary plan that would offer so much for twenty cents a day—if he could find out precisely what he'd get for his money. Sure, he can buy some sort of coverage for that amount, but is it the all-inclusive coverage indicated by the doctor? What the gentleman promises and what the contract states may he quite different. But the doctor commits himself even further by categorically claiming that 62 % cents per week will purchase "all-inclusive medical, surgical and hospital care." And that•62 Ve cents weekly is for com-plete family coverage. This writer is very interested indeed, for the best he can do—and at 80 cents a week—is to buy $7 a day hospi-tal bed and miscellaneous services which do not include the total cost of $15 a day bed, not one cent for surgical costs, and cer-tainly nothing towards medical costs, if that means physician's hills. Now maybe such a cheap package does exist. Dr. Sensenieh will certainly be asked where it can be bought. If So, The Government Can't Compete

And this is where the good doc-tor can do the country a profound service. If he is quoting facts he can thereby demonstrate the ob-vious superiority of private medi-cal insurance over p r o p o s e d government plans. Under the na-tional health insurance bill the family earning $2.500 would pay $37.50 a year, the family earning $3,600 would be levied $54.00. And this does not include employ-er contributions. So, if Dr. Sen. senich can show where we could buy the same thing for about $32.50 he's got something. And so have we. If this Is just a smoke-screen to cover up the government proposals, then the technique is ill-advised. If the figures cannot be substantiated then the cause of nationalized medicine may be supported by those who become disillusioned.

The issue is a serious one and not to be laughed off by flip re-marks, however humorous they are meant to be. The doctor's op-ponent makes the comment that if the citizen goes to his doctor soon enough, at the first sign of trouble, he may never he serious-ly ill. Replies the AMA president, "Eternal life by government promise?" Witty perhaps, but ill-timed. Actually, not worthy of the good doctor. Such an attitude by an official of the AMA could he disturbing. The informed reader is further troubled by learning from the gentleman that Great Britain first started down the road of the Socialist State by adopting compulsory health insurance. The tact is that Britain had gone quite a way along the road before it nationalized medicine. We natur-ally wonder whether the dOl'llICS t;2 I cents a week is fact or ex- aggeration. The rroof Of The Pudding—

We do not deny the doctor's arguments about the costs and dangers of socialized medicine. But we do remember that not so many years ago the AMA sat like

A board which is currently the subject of some controversy is the milk control board. Eatablhilied by the Acts of 1934, it is made up of three persons appointed by the government and approved by the council and serving for three years. Administratively the board is in the department of agricul-ture but not subject to its juris-triction.

The members are former Repre-sentative George Barrus, of Goshen, Mrs. Mary J. Schindler, of Monponsett. and Edward M. Dwyer, of Weymouth. Under this hoard is a director of milk control, appointed by the board with the approval of the governor and council, an assistant director, and a secretary. The division is sub-divided into the following sec-tions: Inspection of records, inves-tigation, enforcement, butterfat, research, hearings and office, a total of 75 positions. This division is financed not by legislative ap-propriation, but by license fees charged producers and dealers, al-though the salaries and expenses of the board itself are subject to appropriation.

In very general terms, the du-ties of the board are as follows: To establish milk markening areas within the Commonwealth; to supervise and regulate the milk industry of the Commonwealth; to prescribe regulations which will tend to apportion in an equit-able manner the total value of milk purchased by any dealer among the producers and to en-courage the production of a regu-lar supply of fresh milk and, fi-nally, to promote programs de-signed to increase the consump-tion of milk. More particularly, they are charged with the estab-lishment and maintenance of rea-sonable trade practices in the milk industry, with acting as mediators in any controversy between pro-ducers and milk dealers, and with the issuanee of licenses to pro-ducers and dealers and the revoca-tion of the same after public hear-ing of violation of law.

It is to be noted that the setting of minimum prices on the part of the milk control board applies solely to the producer, with the obvious aim of protecting the milk industry at its source. Under an emergency provision, however, upon the petition of 51% of Mas-sachusetts producers in a given market area requesting the board to establish minimum prices —wholesale or retail — or both —and after public hearing, the board finds that the price to the producer connot be maintained and that the maintenance of that price Is necessary in order to in-sure a regular continuous and adequate supply of milk and to protect the public health, the hoard may declare that a state of emergency exists. At that point, it may issue orders fixing officially the minimum wholesale or retail prices, or both, for milk sold with-in the market affected irrespective of where such milk is produced. Of course, any price fixed shall lie fair, just, and reasonable.

At the present moment, the milk control board has been sub-ject to two injunctions brought by the Hotel and Restaurant owners association and have been prevented from enforcing orders declaring an emergency in the North Adams area, and from is-suing a list of suggested retail prices throughout the Common-wealth.

Currently before the Legisla-ture is a bill which would permit the milk control board to fix mini-mum or maximum or retail or both for milk sold by milk dealers in any market irrespective of Where such milk is produced.

When Roland K. Fraser is not deeply engrossed- in his facts and figures analyses in the research lab-oratory of the Nashua Gummed and Coated Paper company of Nashua, N. H., it is just possible that he might be out enjoying a refreshing climb up some rugged mountain trail. Or, if there is a square dance within a radius of 20 miles or so, that's where this community-spit. Ited citizen is more than apt to be found. •

Since 1934, when Mr. Fraser first came to Andover to live, he has en• tered into town affairs with much enthusiasm. When the Andover Dramatic club, known as "The Ad-venturers" were in full sway, he was an active member. Presently, he is a member of the Central P.T.A., is moderator of the Free Congregational church and belongs to the Pequawket Mountain club of Andover.

King Canute bidding the waves of voluntary medical insurance to recede. In those days such schemes were labelled socialistic, leading to revolution. Did not doc-tors believe in any kind of insur-ance, even on their own lives? It is hoped that they are more real-istic. It is up to the AMA to prove their contention that voluntary medical insurance is cheaper than the compulsory kind. Undoubtedly it is better, but costs are going to count in this tight. If any of the $3,500,000 "campaign" fund is left it could be better used for positive purposes. The AMA has an argument. But it must be offered in practical form. Positive plans have more chance of success than mere negative criticism.

Andover Schools Thirty Years Ago

Thirty years ago Andover had 1167 pupils in the public schools and 53 teachers. gills was a ratio of 22 pupils to a teacher, while today the public schools have a ratio of 25 pupils to a teacher. In neither case does it mean that any teacher necessarily had 25 pupils.

Nathan C. Hamblin had been prin-cipal of Punchard High school for nine years. Young Mr. Lovely was teaching science and coaching foot-ball. Henry C. Sanborn had been elected superintendent of schools in 1916, and the schools already were beginning to feel the effect of his wise and just administration. In Iris annual report lie had recom-mended the wide use of standard tests. His annual report also intro-duced the move toward a -.Junior High school program. Henry C. San-born had come to Andover front Danvers. A graduate of Dartmouth in the class of 1895( he had spent some time travelling in Europe and previous to his superintendency in Danvers had been superintendent of schools In Franklin, N. H.

The following February the school committee sent Mr. Sanborn to the national meeting of superin-tendents held in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Sanborn reported that the great subject for discussion was that of health and hygiene. He recom-mended the extension of the physi-cal education program and advised the employment of a "competent physical education teacher who should have supervision over the physical development of the chil-dred." He also recommended at this time a gymnasium.

In 1919 Dr. E. C. Conroy was chairman of the committee, and George A. Christie was secretary. The members were as follows: Al-fred E. Stearns, Everett C. Hilton, David R. Lawson, Mrs. Edward V. French, Miss Mary B. Smith, Roy II. Bradford, and Ralph W. Cole-man.

Of the teachers teaching 30 years ago, the following are still in the school system: Miss Nancy Hird, Miss Jessie P. Brown, Eugene V. Lovely and Carl M. Gahan wino cantle to Andover from service in the army during World War I.

started early in the month, the drain on the water system did not begin until last week. So far the additional pumping has had very little effect on Haggetts pond. While the pond was fairly low during the winter and early spring it came up fine during May and is still at a good height.

The extra drain on the system has been due largely to the num-ber of farmers drawing water for their gardens and the great num-ber of householders; who have been sprinkling their lawns.

An East wind Tuesday after-noon routed the heat, at least temporarily, and late in the night thunder and lightning ushered in a shower which brought some measure of relief to this drought-stricken area.

During the prolonged hot spell several drownings were reported from various places in New Eng-land and crop losses in Massachu-setts alone were estimated to have run into several million dollars.

Tips on Weddings In Library Books

June is the month of roses, we know, but it is also the month for weddings, and weddings require hours of planning, preparation, and familiarity with many sources of information.

As has been proven in the past by many borrowers, the public library offers help for this excit-ing and memorable event, both for the young couple and for friends and families.

For customs and traditions of weddings, there are several good books; "Customs Of Mankind," b y Lillian Eichler, "R i n g s Through The Ages," by McCarthy, "Showers For Brides," by Nina Pond; for the parties and showers there are "Parties On A Shoe-string," the "Cokesbury Shower Book," by Katherine Fite, Toni Taylor's "R.S.V.P.," and Leming's "Complete Book Of Showers And Engagement Parties."

These have splendid informa-tion on conducting the parties, novel ways of surprising the bride-to-be, suggestions for food and often photographs of well-ar-ranged table and patterns for decorations and favors; these are useful for anniversary parties, the natural sequence, with Time's help . . . Wooden, tin, paper, leather, silver and golden all have suggestions given. As for the ceremony itself, Emily Post comes into her own, with the new eti-quette of Vogue, and Bentley's "Wedding Etiquette Complete," coming right along on its heels. "Your Wedding, How To Plan And Enjoy It" by Woods, was written with special reference to the bride, and tells her how to portion out her time in the busy days that fly by too fast.

The library has books on the sidelines of a successful wedding, such as preparation and estimat-ing quantities of food, the decora-tion of the church, as told in "Wedding Arrangement In The Church" and a pleasant book On the place and purpose of fathers in the hectic days; this book, Streeter's "Father Of The Bride" is recommended to lighten the solemnity for the man who is to give away the pride of his heart.

For the young people about to he married, the library offers its new booklist, "Marriage and Parenthood," which includes books on modern marriage, the place of the family in today's world, the new home, new family, child care, and so on.

All books mentioned here may be borrowed from the Memorial Hall library.

RECORD LISTENING HOURS Young people of the first six

grades are cordially invited to at-tend a record listening hour each Tuesday morning during vacation at 10:15 o'clock. For the remain-der" of the month, it will be held on June 28, and thereafter each Tuesday until the end of August.

their enamels are establishing records for their heat-resistant qualities. Silicones originate from ordinary sand and, in some ways, out-rival the miracles of the other synthetics which the chemists have developed from coal, air and water. They have definitely estab-lished themselves in the field of electrical insulation and their use in the protective coatings field is just in its infancy.

Besides automotive work, the Servicenters wholesale and retail range and fuel oil. They distribute .Coroaire gas heaters, Admiral ra-dios and refrigerators and Waltham chellhead oil burners. In this field, too, they are experienced in their work.

The proprietors, Harold and Frank Trombly, are well-versed in the work they are doing. Harold was for 19 years the' truck service manager of a New York oil com-pany. Frank was with a major truck company for 15 years and was asso-ciated with a large oil firm in New York.

The Trombly Servicenters re lo-cated at Sutton st., N. Andover and on Hillside rd., near the by-pass, North Andover. There is a bulk oil plant at the rear of the Sutton st. station, and the Hillside rd. station is new and complete, with lubri-torium and workshop.

Despite the destruction at the beach discovered last week the opening will take place on sched-ule. The door of the house had been left open intentionally for persons to enter the building, yet windows, sashes and screens were ripped off. The raft was also put into the water before the guards had a chance to paint it this sea-son. This will cause more rapid deterioration and mean that it may have to be replaced sooner than anticipated.

When you work frequently at a sewing machine, a typewriter or a machine in a factory, it's important to have the background painted in a color that does not contrast too sharply with the machine itself. Too much contrast requires the constant focusing and refocusing of the eye muscles, bringing on eye fatigue.
