BY BRUCE CATTON NEA Writer _One of the strongest of all the habits possessed fimmmnumwumemna about the bonds which are forged when men unite holding reunions. Apparently there is something hswmthfltheymadow&wuken wery much. And of all the reupions of ihe year, fmmmmmmmrmvemma‘ the International Sourdough Association, held re cently n Los Angeles. = - | ?ii,~:fihyltflthmmdmmvmtwml ka in the great goid rush of /38, Its membery are ;fi.hanam.wnub!:fm‘naymumm it rich in the Kiondike, apd eame back with a for tune, there were a thousand who came back with nothing but expefience for their pains. But that Mhmymmmmnnumwl reunions worth their while, 4+ A reunion of this sort celebrates the sharing of 2 great experience. The men who attend it are men who are set apart from the rest of us by virtue ‘of their having participated in something so stir ring and exciting that they find it worth talking about all the rest of their lives. And the value of that experience is the same Whether they got rich . A% a matter of fact, it is a question whether the typical gold-rush veteran ever, in the bottom Of his heart, really cared very much about getting ‘& Jot of gold. He thought he did, of course; he #ald he did, and be acted as if be did | But the common sharing of a mad desire to get rich guick would not be enough to bring hundreds of men together each year in a great reunion. I it did we would witness annual conventions of the velerans of the bull market of 1929, No, the gold-seekers of Alaska like the men who opened up SBouth Africa, California, Australia and the rest of the great gold fields, were really after something else. Life suddenly gave them the op-' portunity to step outside of the ordinary routine, >theetmmwtryottnmhoflmtndemera’ new world. They found that curious something which we call Adventure; they found excitement, Mam:mamfia‘tm«to{uwml never know. Once upon a time the earth opened up for them and took on a guise we stay-at-homed never saw. It made them rich in experience, if not in purse. There is more than a little solid sense in the sugeestion Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler made the other day about United States intervention In such Latin-American countries as Cuba. M. says Gen. Butler it becomes necessary to in tervene to preserve law and order and protect the lives and property of foreigners in Cuba or else ‘where, the United States might profitably invite several Central and South American powers to join in the expedition by contributing warships and men Wflflwir own. If the intervention were really jus tifled and were mot just a collection trip for Wall Btreet bankers, these powers might well be glad 1o join. | . Furthermore, if the United States intervened only when othed American republics were so convinced that intervention was necessary that they wm} willing to take part in the action, it Is a safe bet that intervention would be a much less common occurrence than §t hag been in the past. | Representative Samuel Dickstein of New York urges that the government relax its immigration rules so as to permit the entry into this country of fugitives who have beenm driven from Germm‘y and other Buropean countries by religious or poll tical persecution * 1 It iy probable that this could be done without in any way altering the fundamentals of our fmmi gration restriction policy. We would not have to let down tbe.:z and permit thg flood-tide of immi- EBramts to 'f ‘over us as it did in the old days. _ America used to be proud of the fact that op pressed peopie of other lands looked toward it as a haven : THE HOLLYWOOD SCENE BY DAN THOMAS, NEA Service Writer . HOLLYWOOD — After spending the last four or five monthe searching through all English-speaking countries for a girl to play the title role in “Alice in Wonderland,” Paramount executives finally found her—and right in their own back yard, so to speak . Charilotte Henry, former Brooklyn girl who has been playing very minor roles in pictures for the f)n_n four years, is the one chosen to portray this mythical character. The extensive search for Alice should teach Hol lywood something—but it probably won't, No mat ter what it is the movie moguls desire, they always g 0 about looking for it in the most diffcult manner possible. If an actor, director or writer is desired, they always start looking in the far-off cornerg of the earth, never right here in Hollywood. “Need for new tarent” is the excuse they use. Yet there is more new talent in Hollywood today than the studios could absorb during the next two or three years. S . Now that the main character has been secured, E “Alice in Wonderland” will get under way in a . really pretentious fashion. Among those already | assigned to various roles Are Gary Cooper as the - White Knight, Bing Crosby as the Mock Turtle, . Jack Oakie ag Tweedledum, Charlie Ruggles as the . White Rabbit, Louise Fazenda as the White Queen, . Ford Sterling as the White King, Alison Skipworth . s the Duchess, Leon Erroll as Uncle Gilbert, Patsy . O'Byren as Alice’s Aunt, Bily Barty as the White . Pawn, and Harvey Clark as Father William. Quite . a supporting cast for a heretofore unknown actress, .if you ask me. . The other day while discussing Hollywood’g bril . liant premieres, Kenneth Mac Kenna realeved how he | @lmost lost his wife, Kay Francis, before he even . Bad proposed to her. Ken had just signed his | Contract with Fox so he and Kay set out for, the & T realize now that the gown she wore had been fm especially to be shown off as she walked ~ throt the lobby, but I didn't know it then,” he. . says. “As we neared the theater I saw the terrific . mob which aways is gathered outside.

Of ficial reports in 1930 gave the number of hungry children at 6,000,000, Since that time, however, the number has shown 2 ‘material increase, . Recognizing the appalling condition, a ‘national conference has been called by Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, to meet in Washington October 6 to de itermine the magnitude and extent of this ‘unfortunate condition and to find the best method of remedying it. Miss Perkins is acting timely and her efforts to relieve the condition i= most commendable. Right here in Georgia and, we suspect in Athens, there are hundreds of children of school and pre-school 2ge who are under nourished. The condition is deplorable when it is a known fact that the nation is burdened with an over-production of food stuff, and yet millions of children are cry ing for bread. The conference called by Secretary Per !kins, for October is not for the purpose of gzthering and compiling statistics, but to relieve a condition that is not only appal ling, but inhumane. As Miss Perkins has wisely said: “No amount of statistics and no number of bulletins can take the place of a lamb chop and a glass of milk at the right moment”. True as gospel. America, the richest nation in the world, whose people bought Liberty bonds “until it hurt”, will not now fail to respond to the call of the Secretary of Labor in her ef fort to relieve a condition bordering on starvation of helpless children, who are in. no wise responsible for conditions nor are, they responsible for having been brought into this world. 2 l SCHOOL CHILDREN AND BICYCLES With the opening of the city schools, many of the children use the bicyele as a imode of transportation to and from their thomes to school. Bicycle riding is a whole isome exercise for the body and a conveni ience and saving for the parents of the {children, but it is a hazardous practice, \unless extreme care is observed by the 'children. The children who ride bicyeles to school are usually of the tender age, and too of ten they are not mindful of the danger from automobiles. Besides the average child »f school age has its mind absorbed in the desire to reach school at a certain time in order to be present when the roll is called. Ttinking only of reaching the school, little thought is given to approach ing automobiles or cars emerging from side streets, consequently the danger of meeting with an accident which might re sult seriously and possibly in death to which the child is exposed is great. Par ents should take heed and impress upon the minds of their children the importance of being alert to danger while riding to and from school on bicycles. Riding in the streets, children expose themselves to danger of the most serious type. Regardless of the carefulness of au tomobile drivers, a set of worn brakes or a defect of any kind can throw the car from under control of the driver causing a crash with the bicycle that would have to be accepted as an “unavoidable acci dent”, but it is then too late to save the child’s life. If the city officials cannot legalize and control bicycle traffic on the sidewalks, then we believe that an ordinance should be enacted prohibiting any one from rid ing a bicycle in the streets. Prior to the days of the automobile, the danger of ac cidents from riding in the streets was of little importance, but in these days of ad vancement in transportation, it is highly necessary that children should be pro hibited from riding in the streets. , _Some official action should be taken for the control of present conditions and the streets made safe for the children who ride bicycles to and from school. " | A CHALLENGE TO CIVILIZATION ‘ The growth of organized crime has be icome of such grave importance for the |safety of society and morals of the people |of this nation it is a challenge to civiliza ‘ltion. Racketeering is no longer a system of | pirating, but it has grown to be a business, lorganized and systematized under the di. srection of and on the advice of some of the best legal -tzlent available in this couniry. IThe organizers of the crime industry are not criminals of the mediocre type, but ]they are men of alertness, shrewd and re (sourceful. These leaders in the racketeer {ing game have made a study of their pur \suit and guarded in every way possible a 'defense of any attempt for convietion by tthe legally constituted courts of law en forcement. The revenues realized by this crime organization runs into millions and estimated on good authority as represent ing incomes of a billion or more annually. 'The authorities at Washington have be come alarmed over the situation, judging from the remarks and activities of Attor- Iney General Cummings in an effort to suppress the progress of kidnaping, as !well as other forms of renumerative crime. A real war is on between the law abid |ing element and those of organized crime.‘ It is a fight to the finish for the survival of the fittest. It is a serious and perplex-1 ing problem that is causing the authori ties much concern. The many Joopholes in the scheme of organization of the courts of this country opens a way for gross abuse of the law. mB T A saras 0w in Len- DID IT EVER OCCURTO YOU - - A Little of Everything, Not Much of Anything By HUGH ROWE The Clarke coumty commiss | iomers are to be commended on . their work of havieg the . grounds for the airport graded . and made ready for the finish | ing touches which is to be done . by the city. s of 35 to 40 acres, and S3id so be, ome of the best in the soutbern states. A large force of Workmen several tractors and other imple ments for grad og and rncm‘ are now busily engaged in eoms pletion of the field.

The building of this airport by the county commissioners is ~ not only a strohe of enterprise on their part, but & will fill ome of Athens’ greatest needs. For many years, airports have been talked and planned, but ob- | siacies of one Kkind or agother, arose which resulted in the defeat of the completion of the proposed airport, Now that the work is weil upderway, it is only a matter of a short time until the new field will be completed and thig eity placed on themapafomctdfluwfih.g modern equiped alport ang all the | accessories (har go along with such | 2 plant. Too much praise can ““'¥ be accorded the country com missioners in their effortg to keeog thig city and county abreast of the times, and ai the same time render a service to the tax payvers of potential benefit. The policy of the present board of county commissioners has always been progrescive and constructive, Their services to the people have been of the highest standard of excellency. In determining on the building of an airport, these genilemen struck a papular chord of public sentiment. It is realized that air traffic will soon become the pre vailing mode of travel and the town or city that is backward in providfng accommodations for this new transportation will suffer ma terial losses in many ways, The automobile has replaced the rail roads, in a great measure, and in a few years, the airplane is bound to replace the automobile. With improved equipmert and sen'tce‘air routes will traverse the pation in all directions, stopping, unloading and loading freight and passengers with all ease, comfort and safety. While we are on the line of commendation for the services of the county commissioners, we are reminded of the splendid work that is being done by the Chamber of Commerce. Secretary Wier and President Gunn are a team of workers who are producing resulis for the up building of Athens. These men are enterprising, progressive and de termined ic get resuits. Charged with dynamic energy and re sourcefulness, they are ever on the alert to keep a step ahead of the fast growing progress of the communty paving the way for a pregram of building and recupera ting that which has already been accomplished for a greaier and beiter Athens. There are hundreds of matiers that arise in the work of a Chamber of Commerce office that are never exposed to the pub lic eye, but are of importance o the community and requires work that is not brought to light, but requires much thought, study and time to carry on, for which the president and secretary are never given credit. 1 Men and women who give freely of their time and re sources for the advancement of community affairs, seldom ever receive credit for their servicss, ~ regardiess of the sacrifices they may make. ' But someone has to bear the ‘brunt of carrging on community enterprises, and usually those who aengage in such work are the citi zens who pug service above self, A ‘community is, indeed, fortunate in ‘having such citizens, Without the self-sacrificing citizens, the town or city would be an undesirable place in which to live. In this re- Spect, however, Athens can boast of as fine a citizenship as there is in any community in the counfry When called upon for patriotic ser vice, these people have never failed to respond, and do their whole duty, without stint or reservation.

S. Government ~ Agents in Paris Get New Ruling By MORRIS GILBERT (NEA Service Writer.) PARIS.—The new American government office building, into which the embassy staff, the con sulate, and all other government units quartered in Paris are just now moving, is a memorial to the days when francs were fifty to the dollar. It was the financial acumen of the late Ambassador Mpyron T. Herrick which started it, and made possible the extremely gra cious edifice which stands on the corner of what is one of the most beautiful squares in the Wworld— the Place de la Concorde. | A reserve fund, available at the late ambassador’s discretion, was rather brilliantly handled, in those piping times of French inflation. The result was the nest-egg which just now has been hatched into the embassy building. At that, the cost was very moderate, consider ing the appearance, the position, | and the utility of the building. It cost $1,297,000. | An Historic Site ' History clusters thick about the site where the American eagle now displays its wings. From the old mansicn which it supplants— the Hotel de La Reyniere—men watched the tumbrils wheeling across the Place bearing Louis XVI of France and the queen. Marie Antoinette, to the guillotine I.ITTLE STORIES FROM REAL LIFE SHE came in one Saturday morning and smiled roguishly at the girl in the teller’s window. - “I’m going to open a Savings Account, but don’t you tell my husband,” she said. “You see I am able to save something out of my household allowance every week and I want to surprise him.” Regularly each Saturday she came and it was surprising how the account grew. One day there was an accident—her husband was hit by an automobile. For months he lay helpless. Again the wife appeared at the teller’s window. “You can never know,” she said, “what this savings account means. My hus band is nearly well, but it has taken almost all our money and this little account will pay the insurance premium over which he has been worrying.” ' Once again, a Savings Account had justified itself. There is no substitute for systematic saving. ke MAN-ON-THE -STREET S2} g . 2 , Tli-liEmfl;mii)}. IZENS & SOUTHERN R NatioNaL Bank VALDOSTA No Account Too Large...

In the mansion which occupies the cor responding position on the oppo- | site, or northeast corner of the Pyace, Talleyrand, a figure closely connected with' American as well as French history about the time of the two revolutions—American and French—lived. Visible from Ambassador Straus’ windows -are the obelisk which Napoleon brought back from his conquests in Egypt, and, in the background, the Chamber of Deputies, scene of more recently political history. The French authorities, quite properiy, required the American architects to fit their building into the general architectural plan of the Place de la Concorde. It stands ¥n a line with the principal build ing which flanks the northern side, the Hotel de Crillon and the Min- | fistry of Marine. Its height is identical—although the Americans have managed to build an addi tional story, carefully concealed behind the ornamental balustrade around the top of the ediffice. American in Spirit The architectural plan is virtu ally identical with the res: of the | buildings on the north side of the Place. And yet, by a happy inven tion, it remains something expuc-r itly American—quite apart iromi the plumbing. This has been possible, no doubt, because of the wvirtual sim ilarity between American coionial | architecture of the 17th and 18th century, and the French style from which it, to some degree, de veloped. 3 Now the job is finished, and the ‘American people are represented in Paris by the best if not the SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER M, 1933 Bt s Y L.
