"OLD SALEM'S SHIPS,PIRATES AND WITCHES"The creators of the thing we are

so anxious to preserve, our democ-racy, in other words, the Puritans,will be the subject of the next lec-ture in the series of talks beinggiven by the Unitarian Alliance atthe home of Mrs. George Kraft,641 Georgia Avenue, at 4 o'clock,Monday, February 7. Mr, JamesDuncan Phillips, the Salem anti-quarian and former Vice-Presidentoi Houghton, Mifflin PublishingHouse, will be the speaker.

Mr. Phillips comes of a long lineof Puritan ancestors, the most not-able, Wendell Phillips, a rich youngman who gave his life to three un-popular causes, anti-slavery, anti-drink, Woman's Suffrage, and inhis old age to the cause of Labor.At times he was almost ostracized.Meeting an acquaintance who saidto him, "U am going to see afriend," Phillips said, "Take mewith you. I did not know there wassuch a thing." Reformers arelonely souls.

Catharine di Medici, dying, saidto her son, "Always remember, myson, it is easy enough to cut off thepieces but to sew them iip takes atrained hand."

'The Puritans had the trainedhands that can construct civiliza-tions, From the Puritan GeorgeCteeves in Casco Bay, Maine, toOglethorpe in Georgia (the latteranti-slavery, anti-drink), they builtdemocracies in a wilderness. It de-veloped every potentiality in themand they bred an astute, middleclass man who fought for his free-dom every inch of the way. Mr.Phillips calls these men uncommonmen, rich in that uncommon sense,good common sense. These are thekind of men, the only .kind, thatcan build the world ahead—carryus across from, provincialism toglobalism; stern stock, believingsomething passionately and sanelyascetic.

WORLD VIEWS PROMFOX-HOLES OF FAITH

The people of Winter Park whoattended the meetings of theFlorida Chain of Missions had aremarkable opportunity to seewhat is happening around theworld through the eyes of thosewho have been on the very frontline,—not the front line alone ofmilitary combat but even in thefox-holes of civilian despair andmisery. That their stories so uni-formly tell of courage and humannobility whether in the Balkans, inMexico, in China or wherever youmay put your finger on the map,is a challenge that calls for betterliving here.

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT IN MID-WINTEROne of Winter Park's most popular attractions is the "Animated Maga-zine" which "comes to life" annually on the Rollins Campus beforethousands of listeners sitting in the sunshine without overcoats orblankets. This is the most effective of all Florida pictures to send tofriends up North. Reaching them in mid-February it is the last strawthat breaks the camel's back and they become absolutely sure they wantto be here. The Magazine will be on the stand Sunday, Feb. 20, at2:30 P. M.

SEPARATE PRUSSIA FROM REST OF GERMANYPROPOSED BY MARBURG AS A SOLUTION

PLAN TO RESTORE "FREE ENTERPRISE" CALLEDA GALLANT REAR GUARD ACTION AT CONFERENCE

The separation of Prussia fromthe rest of Germany and theformation of a new Reich compris-ing Austria, Hungary and southand west Germans, with ArchdukeOtto of Austria at its head, is therather startling proposal of Hon.Theodore Marburg, former Minis-ter to Belgium, as the answer tothe question: "What to do aboutGermany ?"

The Germans, said Mr. Marburg,tried democracy and showed them-selves not ready for it; what theyneed at present is a constitutionalmonarchy.

Mr. Marburg addressed theRollins International Institute atits final session yesterday inthe Annie Russell Theatre, 2:30P.M. Prussia must be eliminatedfrom Germany, is Mr. Marburg'sbelief. The liquidation of Prussian-ism can be best facilitated by the

organization of a power groupstrong enough to resist futurepressure from Prussia to re-enter.

Knowing Otto personally, Mr.Marburg describes him as a high-minded, scholarly man whose char-acter would make him a valuableasset in any government.

The reaction to this proposal onthe part of Count Coudenhove, anAustrian now in the United States,author of "Crusade for Pan-Europe", and also of Dr. AlbertShaw would prove illuminating,The world is lost at present as towhat to do and we need lively dis-cussion, like the cracker-box argu-ments that used to take place inthe old corner grocery store in thedays of Andrew Jackson. Mindagainst mind finally, if the groupsare small, (not mobs) strikes outsparks of informed wisdom.

That "Free Enterprise" has notsucceeded in maintaining full em-ployment and a high level of pro-ductivity over long periods of timewas the challenging statement ofDr. Robert M, Haig', Professor ofPolitical Economy at Columbia Uni-versity, addressing the EconomicConference at Rollins College inthe Annie Russell Theatre lastTuesday. Dr. Haig queried if "FreeEnterprise" is the "Rock of Ages"it once was thought to be, andstated that the English have cometo doubt that it is essential. Thedanger of violating present incen-tives to produce was contrastedwith the marvelous achievementsof both Germans and Russianswho were completely organized onother than personal profit motives.

Dr. Haig, in describing the Eng-lish point of view, quoted from anarticle by Geoffrey Crowther,

noted economist, "Freedom andControl", appearing- in "ForeignAffairs", Jan, 1944:

"Thus there are reasons whythere is leas talk in Great Britainthan in America of the sovereignvirtues of unregulated individual-ism. But this does not mean, inmy judgment, that there is theslightest possibility of a return tolaissez-faire even in America. Forone thing I remain obstinatelyskeptical about the possibility ofmaking any appreciable headwayagainst the menace of recurrentdepressions except "by the road ofGovernment action.

the Merrie English Puppets makethem lighter and much more flexi-ble and lifelike in handling. MissPeasley models the heads in plasti-cine • and then covers them withseveral layers of paper strips andpaste, which when dried form astiff, tough shell—papier mache.The bodies of hand puppets arevoluminous skirts, and the trick ofconstruction lies entirely in the ad-justment of the arm and necksockets,

String puppets—popularly knownas marionettes—'have at least tenstrings each, but the hand puppetis worked on three fingers of anoperator's hand. For this reasonthe hand puppet show is the idealone-man show, for "two's company,three's a crowd," and wheneveranother character approaches, oneof the characters already on thestage simply makes some excuseand exit hastily. Walter Wilkin-son, the famous English puppet-master and author of those de-lightful books, "The Peep Show,""Sussex Peep Show," etc., tellshow he prepared a puppet lovedrama to give on his romantictours on foot through England,and only after he had written asplendid last act where the sternfather appeared and blessed theyoung couple did Wilkinson sud-denly remember that he had onlytwo arms!

The performance of the MerrieEnglish Puppets at the Woman'sClub House Saturday is for thetoy fund for children in Britain.The show begins at four o'clock.

Dr. Fannie French MorseA life of leadership came to a

close suddenly in the passing ofDr. Fannie French Morse last Fri-day after only a few days of ill-ness. A heart that was strong forhumanity had been exhausted com-batting problems over a long periodof service, and had little strengthleft to resist an attack of flu.

Dr. Morse, or as she preferredto call herself, Mrs. Morse, waswidely known for her success inspciological projects on a nationalscale before she came to WinterPark six years ago, and built her-self a lovely home on Lake Osceolato enjoy well-earned leisure. Aswith so many spirits, of, her kind,retirement became a farce, for thedriving force within her did notpermit this withdrawal from activ-ity. The projects and problems ofWinter Park became her concern,and larger social problems werevery much with her;here as theyhad been elsewhere. She associatedherself with groups working forimprovement of conditions of un-derprivileged, and served anotherlifetime in the comparatively briefperiod she spent in our community.

Dr. Morse carried her leadershipwell. She earned admiration from

those who were in sympathy withher social ideals, and respect fromthose she opposed. Her mentalenergy was as compelling as a con-science. It was easier to complywith her plans than to resist. Allshe lacked in her Winter Park dayswas physical vigor, which exasper-ated rather than defeated her.

Dr. Morse died with manydreams for civic and social welfarein her mind, and to the last hoursof her life she worked for theirrealization. 0>n her desk and amongher notes lay plans for a buildingto house an expanded and im-proved Day Nursery for the whitechildren of the town, and like agrace note to the large work shehad done elsewhere, this projectseemed no less beautiful to Dr.Morse when human values weremeasured in terms of few as com-pared to the many who had bene-fitted from her former work. Theeft'ect of her spirit and her life willcarry on in the hearts of thosewhom she inspired, and WinterPark will be a better place for theyears she spent here.

OLD SALEM'S SHIPS(Contiivued from page 1)

Edmund Burke, in The Price ofCivil Liberty, was much quoted bythese builders of the democraticway of life for which we fight to-day. I quote the passage:

"Men are qualified for civil lib-erty in exact proportion as theyput chains on their appetites; inproportion as their love of justiceis above their rapacity; in propor-tion as their soundness and so-briety is above their vanity andpresumption; in proportion as theyare more disposed to listen to thecounsels of the wise and good, inpreference to the flattery of knaves.Society can not exist, unless a con-trolling power upon the will andappetite is placed somewhere, andthe less there is within the morethere must be of it without. It isordained in the external constitu-tion of thing's that men of intem-perate habits can not be free. Theirpassions forge their fetters."

The Puritans recognized that tobuild a democracy you must beaustere, sacrificial stuff with pas-sions decidedly curbed, coiirage a.tthe stern steering the vision ofliberty at the prow.

They formed Marine Societies tohelp the wives and children of menwho went clown to the sea in ships.

The Salem Marine Society was thepattern, formed 1766: Cursing,swearing cost from two to twentytwo pence; quarrels, contentionsmight cost twenty-two shilling's.Gaynbling at meetings was pro-hibited. Being a drunkard or guiltyof any vice or disturbing the peacewas cause for dismissal from theSociety. I imagine they were mostof them ardent Congregationalists.

Of this stuff were the Puritansmade; and of this stuff they cre-ated our democracy. If you wantdemocracy to continue, you mustsee to it that the people of theUnited States are the same kindof stuff.

We can not have too many talkson the Puritan qualities. They hadflaws—like all others—but theybuilt the democratic way of lifehere. Our task today is to carrythis way of life round the world.

NO "MAKE BELIEVE"IN "BRIEF MUSIC"

The Rollins Dramatics Depart-ment and especially Prof. HowardBailey deserve a high measure ofpraise for the excellent productionof "Brief Music" last week. • Itseems incredible that all of thiscast of . seven young competentstudents had practically no stageexperience. Whatever fault mighthave been found with the ratherslow moving first act should becharged against Emmet Lavery,the author, but he might have re-plied that students are not as in-teresting in their sophomore year.In their roles as college studentsthe girls did not have to do much"make believe" and their successin keeping1 quite within the campusatmosphere kept the comedy con-sistent and properly unpredictable.Patricia Bastian and ElizabethHanson established themselves inthe favor of the enthusiastic audi-ence and, carried the major roleswith convincing assurance, betterthan the usual student elocutionand a refreshing lack of splf-consciousness. We hope Mr. Baileyand Mr. pon Allen will find otheropportunities for us to enjoy thework of all of this well selectedcast, which also included AnitaRodenbaeck, Betty Clary, Eliza-beth Asher, Jane Northern andMarjorie Humpfer.
