...world full of labor trouble, Communism, economic upset, a League of Nations. But he played the game in the old St. Swithin's spirit, learned to forget the war, never questioned his standards, left Manhattan and the Illinois girl he loved for the narrowing circle of Bostonian complacency. He married, had children, paid taxes, grew middleaged: "If I had had the guts-" I sometimes find myself thinking, and a part of the old restlessness comes back...
...with the milk to pacify the baby), the Old Farmer has better than 100,000 subscribers (mostly New Englanders), from Bangor, Me. to Hong Kong. These ardent readers feared that the Old Farmer's 1940 issue would be its last. After the death of its fourth copyright owner, Bostonian Carroll J.

The Army arsenal at Springfield, Mass., after many bumbles, last week had Garand production up to 2,300 per week. After a year of agonized effort to tool up for the complex Garand, Winchester Repeating Arms Co. at last was almost ready to begin quantity production.

...opinion of the girls' Bostonian Principal Abby Sutherland, 64, the drill is given to "cultivate poise, grace, better posture," to inculcate "cooperation, coordination, leadership, and loss of self-consciousness ... a very democratic thing, you know." Calculated to cultivate a more essential poise is Ogontz' popular course on babies, held in "Lares," a completely furnished model home. Each fall, the girls study, coddle and raise a two-month-old foundling until Easter, when it goes back to its mother or foster parent. Last year's baby was Betty Jones, whom the girls dubbed "Betty Jogontz...
