. the “system.” ' American airmen have long point- . ed out that our commercial airlines should be built up, instead of re- ‘ duced in equipment and schedules, in a national emergency. Time, valuable in peace days, is of the|J essence in war. 2 Permitting, much less encouraging, the airlines to sell their second- : rate planes was a bad mistake. The ' most pressing precaution that should have been taken against the panic

. HARRISBURG, Pa, June 13 (U. | p)—Settled in the rich farming lands of southeastern Pennsylvania, . the “Pennsylvania Dutch”—a num-

. ber of whom trace their ancestry to ¢ the earliest Colonial days—are famous for many things—thrift, prosperify, good farming, better cooking, religious sects, and a highly developed “superstition” which still in- . fluences the daily life of the family. Long of interest for students of : folklore, and even scientists, A. Monroe Aurand Jr., author of sev- : eral books on the local customs and history, has written a pamphlet de- ‘ tailing many of the superstitious * peliefs of the region.” . While a‘ large number of our { more common beliefs in “good and ‘ bad” omens, are incorporated in the superstitions of the “Dutch,” ‘ the “hex” country has added a : number to the list, particularly for ! combating witches. | f Local legend, Mr. Aurand says, : prescribes that “if you are bei witched lay a broom before your i door. The first person to pick it up ' is the witch! Or if you think you : are bewitched, beware of the" first . person to borrow something. ‘She is . another witch. Since all witches | ‘ride brooms, you can rid yourself ! of the intruder by sweeping her ! out the door. Then she'll turn into : a black cat and run away.”
