Cleaner Movies BY BRUCE CATTON ‘ The cry to “clean up motion pictures” is being heard again—this time loudly and insistently. The Federal Council of Churches, Jewish rabbis, the Fedération of Women's clubs, and clergymen of all the Protestant faiths have rallied to the support of Cardinal Dougherty in his attack on immoral and indecent films. The cardinal's charges are drastic. In an official statement he declared, “Perhaps the greatest menace to faith and@ morals in America today is the motion picture theater, attended every week by almost 77, E!MO persons, of whom some 23,000,000 are young people less than 21 years old. . . . The usual theme of these moving pictures 1s divorce, free love, mari tal infidelity and the exploits of gangsters and rack _"A vielous and insidious attack is being made on the very foundation of our Christian _civilization; mamely the sacrament of marriage, the purity of wo ‘manhood, the sanctity of the home and the obedi aisoe to lawful authority.” " Religious leaders of many faiths have joined with "%)‘dlnfll Dougherty in urging members -of their churches te boyeott objecttonable pictures. ~ Hollywood producers quick to defend themselves, m}' that the filmg do no more than mirror life. Motion picture dramas, they insist, are no more ob- Jectionable than stage plays, books and paintings of the day, and if they deal with unsavory subjects it is because that 1s what the public wants. ~ _Yet . wmerican newspapers reach an even wider public than the films and in the newspapers’ enter tainment features—notably the serial novels and comic strips—the presg has never found it necessary or profitable to stoop to the salacious. " Racketeering and gang lite have no place in news paper fiction. While motion pictures, by subtle in 'lmondo,?h&ve presented the most daring of ‘“‘modern” sophisticated situations, the heroineg of newspaper serials lgav'e remained ideals of .American woman _ Perhaps there is a lesson in this for the film mag nates. At any rate, the daily newspaper. though often accused of cheapness and sensationalism, re mains a staunch defender of the conventions. The new tariff deal, which empowers the president to make mutually beneficial import and eXport ‘agreements with other countries, ‘adjusting tariffs accordingly, opens the way to new consideration of closer relationg with Canada. It was in 1911 that President Taft tried to engineer a reciprocity treaty with Canada. It was passed by congress, but later rejected by the Dominion government. . Now it is reported that Canada is again exploring the possibilities of such arrangement. With the com-* pletely new wview of foreign trade which now pre vailg throughout the world, there are péssibilities here. ‘h"!‘lve years ago the United States and Canada car ried on'the greatest two-nation commerce in the world. Today there must still be vast possibilities for trade between us, which will be equally advan tageous 'to both. Certainly no two nations are more closely ¥lnk,ed by geography and every consideration of true neighborliness that should enable them to help each other in trade. There is reason to believe that, among the many trade proposals which will be put hefore President Roosevelt under his new tariff powers, one of the first will be plans for wideyr and mutually beneficial trade with Canada. Schodl children in Los Angeles and other cities learn ghrdening just as they learn the multiplica ‘tion table or spelling. Courses begin in the third and fourth grades for those who wish it, and are nquireé in the fifth and sixth grades. ~ Tke cpurses may be continued through high school. Neighbors donate land for the school gardens; vol unteemztegd ‘them through the vacation season. If there is anything better to teach children than some elemental knowledge of growing things and how to make them grow, it is hard to think what it ‘might be. Pathetic ig the ignorance of many city ‘bound people of how to grow vegetables or flowers or trees, how to make a garden or landscape a lawn. ~ Bvery man is better equipped for life with this knowledge, and better off for even so shallow a con tact with Mother Earth. Many a school system might profitably adopt this plan. - THANKS TO DR. COOK | i& . BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN F}i’dflon Journal of the American Medical Association, o and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine _For the health of your child today, you can feel indebted partly to a famous British navigator, Capt James Cook, who sailed the seag for the Royal Brit: ish navy in the latter part of the 18th century. . Because of Captain Cook’s keen observation and ‘experiment with his sailors, we now know the cause of scurvy, a disease that debilitates and causes much suffering. To be sure, we know also that scurvy can be prevented by adequate amounts of vitamin C, but Captaig Cook reported that he was able to prevent the trouble by keeping fresh fruits and vegetables on board his vessels. bgt w& on his voyage around Cape Horm back in 1768, t Captain Cook noticed many of his men were getting tired and pale, that large black and blue spots appeared on their bodies, that their gums would hbleed and their joints would become painful becausé of the bleeding that took place in them. And the famous navigator discovered that this took place after he had run out of fresh fruits and vegetables. 'Todz&;,nscur\w is uncommon among us, because “most ericans eat a well-balanced diet. Scurvy ‘gan be! prevented by adequate amounts of vitamin C, *goqt frequently found in fresh fruits and vegeta ki Whe{t artificial feeding of babies was introduced, Seurvy began to appear rather frequently among them. Babies fed by their mothers did not have ‘scurvy, because the mothers ate fresh fruits and Vegetables and the babies got vitamin C in their mothers’ milk. .~ ‘We know today that heat kills Vitamin C and that ‘any baby on an artificial diet, or one containing large amounts of milk and not much of anything else, thl;has to have fresh fruit or vegetables juices to prevent scurvy. Orange juice or tomato juice or ny other fruit or vegetable will do. Jlt is well, in fact, for every baby to get some Wme juice, beginning with the age of one month or .en earlier. A teaspoonful may be given daily at the start,” and if the juice is a little sour a small m unt of sugar can be added. It is best to give the _orange Jjuice about an hour after the feedings. ‘@ grows, the amount of orange juice can " G :grqdually until a tablespoonful is given M:y ree months and two tablespoonfuls at six HAS THE NRA BEEN A SUCCESS? Notwithstanding the many obstacles thrown in the way of the functioning of the NRA since its organization on .%une 16, 19338, it has celebrated its first anni versary with a record that General Hugh S. Johnson, administrator, should feel proud of. Republican partisans, placing politics above the interest of the people of the nation, have endeavored to their ut most ability to discredit and destroy the NRA. Realizing the potential value in re storing commerce and industry to normal conditions and enabling labor to receive just compensation for its hire, these pub lic enemies have not idled in their efforts to block and stagnate every feature of the NRA calculated to create a new era in the commercial history of this nation. It is being charged that President Roose velt is not in sympathy with the system lunder which the NRA has been operated, jinsinuating that General Hugh S. Johnson ‘has acted hastily and unwisely in many instances. He may have made mistakes;: lall human beings make mistakes; and we {do not presume that his critics are immune to making them. However, a brief re sume of some of the accomplishments and achievements of the NRA, under the direc tion of General Johnson, may be of inter est as well as information for the uniform ed and for those inclined to discredit the value the NRA has been to the people of this nation. During the year, that is from June 16, 1933 to June 16, 1934, it has pro vided employment for 3,000,000 persons, for an increase in factory employment of 37 per cent, in factory payrolls of 72 per cent, and in manufacturing production of 50 per cent. It has succeeded in the aboli tion of child labor in factories, mills and other industrial plants where child labor was employed. The sweatshops have been ‘driven out and adequate, comfortable ana sanitary plants have been established in their state. Through the efforts of Gener al Johnson, nearly two thousand destruc tive trade practices have been abolished, having the American economic system from the brink of disaster and transform ed it into an active functioning productive mechanism which will provide the basis for permanent prosperity. These and many more accomplishments could be recited here, but the fact that the administration is backed up and supported by the repre sentatives of leading business and indus tries of the nation should be sufficient evi dence to convince the most skeptical of the success of the NRA. Irrespective of the Darrow report and the criticism of the unfriendly towards the NRA, a few excerpts from addresses de-1 livered by President Roosevelt at various times and occasions during the first year are given. On June 16, 1933, when the President released the Blue Eagle, in part he gaid: #“The National Recovery Act rep resents a supreme effort to stabilize the many factors which make for the prosper ity of the nation. Its goal is the assurance of a reasonable profit to industry and liv ing wages for labor, with elimination of the piratical methods and practices which have harrassed honest bhusiness and con tributed to the ills of labor.” On January 3, 1934, in addressing the opening session of the Seventy-third con gress, the President, in part said: “Now that we are definitely in the process of recovery, lines have been rightly drawn between those to whom this recovery means a return to old methods, and those to whom.recovery means a reform of many old methods—a permanent readjustment of many of our ways of thinking.” In addressing the code authorities on March 5, 1934, the President, in part said: “We have arrived at the time for taking stock, for correcting manifest errors. We hould feel encouraged and heartened that we are on the right track”. - And his latest public utterance, in an address before congress on May 15, 1934, the President said: “It is evident that powerful forces for recovery exist. If we maintain the course I have outlined, we can confidentially look forward to cumu lative beneficial forces”. . _The foregoing statements made by Pres ident Roosevelt should be sufficient proof of his favorable attitude towards the NRA and the success with which it has met un der the direction of General Hugh S. John son. DO ANIMALS SPEAK? There is much discussion going the rounds of the press on the vocabulary of animals. It is alleged that several animal dictionaries have been %ritten containing ‘words spoken by what is commonly known as “dumb brutes”. If the reports are true, }efforts should be made to have this new language translated in order that owners of dogs and cats may be enabled to con verse with their pets. An Italian poet has announced that he ‘will write an animal dictionary and will ‘include a complete glossary of the canine language under the title “Livesof Illustri ous Dogs.” Another author, Miss Blanche ‘W. Learned, has undertaken to write a dictionary of the cat, horse and monkey language. She claims to have already written and classified 32 terms of the chim panzee language, together with the mean ing of each word. It is said that cats produce 16 sounds, all having a meaning that can be under stood and translated into language easily understood by those who are cat inclined for pets. The horse speaks six words and three kinds of neighing, all of which have meanings exclusive unto the horse. The hen is not to be omitted along with the dog, cat and horse. There are 12 words in the hen vocabulary and five in the rooster’s, which of course is quite natural. The feminine member of the family al ways being entitled to the last word, if not to a majority of the words spoken whether in quarrel or social conversations. After all, “our dumb brutes” are not so dumb, since thev do not seem to know dumb, but it is the people who are animals all have vocahularies peculiar to their species.

In the proceedings of the lower house of congress, Paul Brown was listed among the leaders, taking an active part, advocating all con structive legislation, especially the administration measures. The Tenth district is extremely fortu nate in having a representative of the character and ability as that possessed by Mr. Brown. ©On his return to Georgia, he will make a visgit to the people of his district giving an account of his steward ship of their affairs represented by him in Washington. His return to his home and district will be the occasion of much pleasure for his friends and constituents. The junior and senior sena tors from Georgia, Senators George and Russell, have' to their credit splendid records in their advocacy of constructive measures. . Especially were they active in their support of administration legislation. During the recent ses sion, no senators were more active or more loyaly to the President than were George and Russell. For the next six months these gentle men will have a vacation spell which is well earned by them. It is likely that they will spend much of their time in this state, going the rounds, meeting and greeting the people. It is time well spent not only in their own interest, but in the interest of the people of the state, “Well, Dick my boy,” said his uncle, “my congratulations! | hear you're engaged to one the pretty Robbins twins.” “Yes,” said Dick, enthusiastical ly. “But,” said the uncle, “how on earth do you manage to tell them apart?” “Oh,” said the young man, *“1 don’t try!” It is said that there are more foxes in Oglethorpe county than in any county in the state, yet there is little fox hunting in these days and times, i A half-century ago, fox hunting was the most popular sport of all, Turkey shooting and such sports had no place for the real hunter and sportsmen. Fox hunting was the chief and outstanding sport. Groups of men and sometimes women would join in the fox chase which usually lasted to the early hours of morning. It iz a great sport and from reports we have Treceived from Oglethorpe county, around Arnoldsville, the wnods must be full of them. For information, first mand, write ta Howell L. Smith, R.F.D.

With a dry season, plenty of foxes, cats and stray dogs, the 1934 crop of bhirds is bound to be light, but there is little to be done about it at thig late season of the vear. However, it may be depend ed that the department of game and fisk will use its utmost re sources to provide for hunters a crop of birds sufficient to meet their needs. if not demands.
