poration meeting annually when 
the democratic opportunities for free 
speech are exercised for the public 
al. The usual annual warrant has 
been posted and states that a meeting 
will be held on Monday evening next. 
The main item advertised apart from 
the election of officers is the report of 
the Board of Directors on a proposed 
plan for a pavilion on the corpora- 
jon property. It is impossible to an- 
ipate the oe which is to be made, 
but whatever the details of the pro- 
posed plans may be the public should 
not lose sight of the larger issues, the 
willing sacrifice of the lesser inter- 
ests of the few for the larger inter- 
est of all. The present management 
of the West Beach corporation means 
progress. Progress entails sacrifice. 
This sacrifice must find expression in 
‘different ways by all who are con- 
ned. Some have given time and 
energy, some will willingly relinquish 
‘their tenancy of the present booths, 
w hile others will give of their money. 
There is public spirit enough in Ward 
‘Six to assure the management of the 
hearty support and public good will 
for any reasonable proposition which 
‘they may present. The present suc- 
cess of the corporation is due to faith- 
ful service and untiring zeal of a few 
‘citizens. This burden should be 
‘shared by the public and not in- 
creased. . 
y REPT. MacDONALD 
Our representative from Beverly 
Farms has presented among other 
bills two which are of state wide in- 
terest. One provides for railroad cor- 
poration legislation on season ticket 
books. His connection with the Even- 
ing Law School of YMCA of Boston 
has inspired the other bill for the 
granting to the YMCA the power to 
confer degrees in its schools of Com- 
“merce and Finance. Mr. MacDonald 
was appointed a member of the liquor 
committee and has honored himself, 
and his district for his stand in the 
committee. In a recent vote Mr. 
MacDonald was registered in favor of 
sane temperance legislation. The vote 
‘stood six to five. If our representa- 
tive had weakened under the tremen- 
_dous pressure which is always brought 
to bear upon that committee the result 
would be apparent. The Breeze com- 
mends Mr. MacDonald for his cour- 
age and good sense. 
- FOUNDER’S DAY. 
_ Today, Friday, Feb. 17, the Nation- 
al Congress of Mothers celebrates 
_ Founder’s Day. It is a memorial to 
‘Mrs. Theodore W. Birney, a Georgia 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
woman, who fourteen years ago this 
month called together the mothers of 
the nation to study the child, to learn 
more of his development; to under- 
stand his influences and environments 
that would develop his highest possib- 
ilities. The object was to reach ev- 
ery mother in every home. Today 
there are branches of the society in 
every state and in many lands. The 
mothers are learning how to give their 
children strong physical bodies, good 
mental development, and highest spir- 
itual ideals. 
The Congress recognizes the home 
as the most important field. All or- 
ganizations of women may well give 
their influence in its behalf, may aid 
it by asking mothers everywhere to 
join the ranks. 
When a great work is to be done, 
God puts it into the heart of one of 
children. The work for children was 
put in the heart of Mrs. Birney. 
April 25 to May 2, the Second In- 
ternational Congress of Child-Welfare 
will be held in Washington, D. C. 
TO THE FRIENDS OF THE 
BREEZE. 
All friends and patrons of the The 
Breeze who have occasion to require 
“legal” advertising at any time are 
requested to specify that insertion of 
the advertising be made in this pa- 
per. This will insure publication in 
the newspaper which they patronize, 
and it also best serves the interest of 
all litigants, giving the greatest pub- 
licity among the parties most inter- 
ested. A little forethought on the 
part of all who have advertising of 
this character to place, who desire to 
patronize the Breeze will be appre- 
ciated. 
THE RIGHT IDEA. 
Selectman Houston A. Thomas of 
Hamilton hits the nail on the head 
when he says that men should take 
more interest in their town affairs 
and not confine their interest to the 
election. What Mr. Thomas says of 
Hamilton applies to Manchester and 
every other city and town as well. It 
is too frequently the case that the 
only time the voters show an interest 
in their home affairs is around elec- 
tion time. To get the best results the 
voter should maintain an all the year 
around interest. 
FLOWER SHOW. 
A provisional schedule for the inter- 
national horticultural exhibition to be 
held under the patronage of the king 
and queen in the grounds of Chelsea 
hospital, London, May 22 to May 30, 
15 
inclusive, 1912 ‘has just been issued, 
says a daily consular report. The 
schedule already shows 431 classes, 
grouped into 12 divisions, and more 
will be provided, if space can be found 
for further exhibits on the 20 acres 
of ground which the association has 
leased from the hospital authorities. 
All exhibits will be open to the pub- 
lic for eight week days. The promise 
of support received from colonies and 
foreign countries indicate that there 
will be a large number of foreign. vis- 
itors. ‘The show will be made as edu- 
cational as possible. Visitors will be 
able to see groups of the best orchids 
species. In some cases the finest hy- 
brids will be shown with their parents, 
so that students of Mendelian theory 
will have before them many ‘examples 
worthy of study. The methods of ex- 
hibiting orchids will be applied with 
modifications to other flowers. Inter- 
_esting features’ will’ be exhibits of 
hardy herbaceous and Alpine plants 
and flowers, and object lessons on con- 
structing and planting rockeries of ev- 
ery description. Many new ‘trees, 
shrubs and Alpine plants now being 
collected in the wilds of China and Ti- 
bet will be shown. Copies of ‘the 
schedule may be obtained free from 
the secretary, Edward. White, 7 Vic- 
toria street, Westminster, London, S.
