"Inherently loveable!"
Angela Thirkell Book Summaries #2: The Demon in the House! (1934)

In her second Barsetshire novel, Thirkell continues the saga of the irrepressible Tony Morland.
An actual boy must be lurking somewhere in the background as it would be impossible to make up such a monumental Pest.
Grown-ups and children alike are ground into submission by his everlasting chatter and overweening “self-esteem.
Only Dr. Ford, whose conversation with Tony is confined to the phrase “Shut up” and Sylvia Gould, the swimming instructor, who exposes Tony’s vaunted diving ability as phony, come anywhere near even temporarily quashing him.
Tony and his silent friend Donk (but how could he be otherwise around Tony?) are referred to as the “little boys” at age thirteen and Rose, age fourteen, is comforted by Mrs. Morland while holding her on her lap; how times have changed!
Perhaps brought together by a common exasperation towards Tony, Dr. Ford and Sylvia appear headed for the altar.
It would now be PC to describe Tony as "inherently loveable"; but I won’t.

"My files are filling"
Homemaker Service meets its workers
Dennis-Yarmouth Register, June 25, 1965
http://digital.olivesoftware.com/olive/apa/sturgis/sharedview.article.aspx?href=SDYR%2F1965%2F06%2F25&id=Ar01408&sk=2E87F7E8&viewMode=image
Speaking to Outer Cape and Mid-Cape Homemakers, Dr. Samuel Klauher, radiologist anu general practitioner who has served the Cape tip for the past three years expressed gratification that Homemaker Service lias come to Cape Cod, and the expectation that the new agency will grow quickly in view of the great need here.
The occasion was the Cape Cod Homemaker Service June Jamboree held at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Cole, Outer Cape Superviser for the new service.
It was brought out by Executive Director Harriet Cameron in her formal report that two clients nearlng age 100 are able to remain in their homes because of the part time assistance of a trained Homemaker.
Children of several families have been enabled to stay together ln their own homes, despite the illness or absence of their mothers, through the daily help of Homemaker Service.
Dr. Klauber stressed the need for Homemaker Service everywhere to cut down length of stay in hospitals, to avoid institutional care where it is not absolutely necessary, and to provide standins for 111 or recuperating mothers.
He said, "We live in a time when life span has increased, and we cannot house the entire elderly population in nursing homes."
Mrs. Cameron praised the Homemakers who have been working on difficult cases, and meeting with calm many unfamiliar problems.
Mrs. Cameron said,
"My files are filling up these days with letters in praise of individual Homemakers, and in appreciation of the new a^-ncy's work on the Cape".
