"DISEASE SOLD HERE"

Alcoholism is a disease; or. ii’ you prefer. a sickness.

"l DIDN'T KNOW WHAT T WAS DOING!"

It always seems a weak and rttterly silly excuse for a person charged with reckless driving or. indeed any misconduct dangerous to oihcrs. to plead before a magis- katc: "l was drunk and I didn't know what I was doing." To ac- cept such a fahlous excuse would relieve a ‘person of any guilt of any crime whatsoever. Nor should the excuse be considered as a reason why leniency should be shown to- wards the offender. For any person to indulge the liquor habit to the point where stupefaction sets in. and he "doesn't know what he's doing." is in itself a major offence because it renders that person a distinct menace to society.

Portland Gale 0f 50 Years Ago Is Recaﬂgd

PRDVINCEIOWN. Mass, Nov. 26 -—tA1,-‘*)—.F‘1fty years ago this week-end the steamship Portland sank with all hands in wild weath- er off this rocky coast. Today her loss is still a mystery. What brought the Portland side-wheeler her course?

Where. actually, did the ZSO-foot craft go down? . Old salts from Cape Cod to Casco Bay still chew over these questions. Not one passenger or crew member of the 176 aboard survived to answer.

More than 100 other vessels were lost along the coast from New York to Maine in that hurricane, always called in New England the "Port- land Storm."

The Portland cast of! from Bos- ton's India wharf in snow squslis. Most of her passengers were Port- landers on the way home from Thanksgiving visits.

Two hours later she was seen passing Cape Ann 1n a growing blizzard. but still on her course. By the trout night-Sunday-her wreckage and dead were strewn on Cape Cod beaches. 50 miles distanz. Wires were dorm and roads blocked by drifting snow and it was two days before Boston got the news.

For seven days more rampaging seas tossed the ‘Portland's flotsam on 25 miles of beaoh from Province- town to Chatham, but only 34 bod- ies washed ashore.

It was widely thought that the vessel sank _near SO-fathorns-deep Stellewagert Bank. 20 miles off this port. but in i045 historian Edward Rowe Snow of Winthrop. Me.. said his divers found the Portland's hulk four miles off Highland Light. Nnrtlr Truro.

SHOW is historian of the Portland Associates whose relatives ‘went down with the ship. They set up the organization in i908 and have held annual memorial services in Bos- tnn.

Most of them are getting on in vcars Snow said. and have decided to wind up the organization.

The final ceremony ls the dedic- ation of a memorial tablet at. High- land Light November 27.

Revivdliritaiws Oldest Industry

LONDUXQ. Nov. 25 — (CP) -— Bnskebmuklng in Britain is taking on a new lease of life. It is the nation's oldest industry, going back to the days of the ancient Britons before the arrival of the Roman legions.

In the period between the First and Second World Wars the indus- try was hard hit. by imports from abroad. These were sold at prices which would not even cover the wages of British craftsmen. During this slump the willow beds special- ly cultivated to produce osiers for baskettnaking shrunk from 9,000 acres to only 2,000. ‘

During the war there was a big demand for home-made baskets. Large quantities were required for airborne supplies as well as for sig- nal equipment. The willow growers re-organlzed their industry on a voluntary basis with complete suc- cess to meet these demands.

Now that. Britain is restricting imports as much as possible in ord- er to save spending abroad this wartime activity is not only being maintained but increased. There are now,7,000 baskebmakers and the aim is to raise the figure as high as 25.000. This will include blind and disabled persona for whom basket weaving is an oc- cupation particularly well suited.
