This Week’s Cover
- Long ago, that dam behind which the East Arlington, Vermont, lads are swimming in Mead Schaeffer’s painting made a pond from which ice was cut to store in the icehouse at the right of the picture. Presently George Hughes, another Post cover artist, acquired this pleasant scenery and lived in a house off-picture at the left. He also acquired a crisis; the old dam was crumbling and the pond was so shallow that the unhappy boys couldn’t risk their lives in it. So Hughes sank money in the swimmin’ hole, rebuilding the dam in the interest of community aquatics. By and by he moved away to some still lovelier Vermont scenery. Then it occurred to Neighbor Schaeffer to sell the dam to the Post. Economics are queer things, Hughes feels.
