But for the occasion, we’d think the ~ President was indulging in one of his satirical asides when he referred to the '“bonds” of friendship existing between Great Britain and the United States. fe It is natural and sensible to assume _= that only those who have read the charter -provisions know anything about the new charter.

The only way such work can be provided is by sponsorship of the city and county.” Surely a city and county that can fina mdney for an addition to the court- house, the purchase of new cars for muni- cipal’employes and other relatively unim- | portant purposes should be able to raise cash for financing a share of the cost of | new WPA projects.

Our | less fortunate citizens need the work that ‘type of undertaking would require; the city needs better facilities for tourists, bet- ter sanitation and other improvements. The Citizen believes our civic organ- izations should combine in. demanding some action by our councilmen and our county commissioners in solving the work- relief and improvement problems. It may be necessary to mortgage the future—that is, sell county and city bonds or other se- curities to finance needed projects. A way can be found, a way must be found: ‘We've got to quit fiddling around this question and do something. LINCOLN’S GRAMMAR An intimate memento of Abraham Lincoln and his youthful sweetheart, Ann Rutledge, was recently received by. the Library of Congress, where it will be pre- served with other relics of our first martyred president. It is the Kirkham’s Grammar which Lincoln and Ann studied in New Salem, Ill, 100 years ago, Textbooks were scarce in those days and Lincoln obtained the grammar second- hand from its former owner, walking a | dozen miles to secure it. This was in 1931, when he was clerking ina New Salem store and boarding with Ann’s parents. When he had mastered its contents he | gavé ‘the book to Ann, writing on the title page, ‘Ann M. Rutledge is now learning grammar.” It is said that Abraham. and. Ann. be- came engaged or July '4, 1838,, shortly: be- fore Lincoln's election to the state legis- lature. Ann was stricken with malarial fever and died August 26, 1885,-and inti- mate friends of Lincoln declared he neyer recovered from his grief for the only wo- man he ever truly loved. The book was preserved by the Rut- ledge. family, finally coming into the pos- session of William Rutledge of Milton, Mont., a nephew of Ann, From him it was horrowed by Miss Jane Hamand for the public library of Decatur, Ill. Not long ago, with Mr. Rutledge’s consent, she pre- sented it to the Congressional Library. “There it may now be seen in the case which also contains Lincoln’s Bible in which he inseribed: his family mre with his own hand, THETIS AND SQUALUS The loss of more than four score British sailors.on board the submarine Thetis, which failed to. rise after diving in- to the Irish Sea, is another illustration of the perils of submarine service.
