E. A. America the Model N it tmstsnssn By BRUCE CATTON An American newspaperman who is touring Japan this summer writes back that no other nation on earth is making quite such an effort to copy Amer jecan manners and customs as is Japan. Basebail has become Japan's national game, and every vacant lot i Tokio finds a game in progress. Tokio is the only world capital (outside of North America, at least) where you can gfi such pecu liarly American delicacies as apple pie a la mode, elaborate ice cream sundaes, and old-fashioned pop. The taxis and pleasure cars on Tokio's streets are Jargely American; the streets carry electric signs in the American style, there are typically American movie houses and taxi-dance halls, flappers dress in . American style, business - men sip American cocktails before dinner, and any Tokio restaurant can give you a T-bone steak cooked just as an American cook would prepare n. . This sort of thing is probably the froth on the surface of international relationships, to be sure; but a traveler who knew nothing of foreign affairs would be justified inh leaping to the conclusion that between the United States and Japan there was a #oolid and unbreakable friendship that no threat of trouble could ever shatter. The sad fact, of course, is that the reverse is true. When we lay down a new cruiser, or order a new fleet of bombing plane, we cock one eye in the direction of Tokio, and the same thing happens over there. __ln each nation there is an abundance of fear, suspicion, and distrust of the other nation, and in the last few years the situation seems to have be come worse instead of better. ~ All of which leads one to suspect that the whole business of international friendship is an illogical and incomprehensible puzzle. ~ And et this eagerness on the part of the Japan €ese to adopt American gadgets, American habits, and American manners may, in the long run, prove to be a powerful and beneficial force. ~ The differences between the two nations are not, ‘after all, fundamental things that arise from un ‘changeable traits in national characters. They come from temporary conflicts in national aspirations. ~ If trouble can be avoided for the next decade or 80, this underlying friendship ought to yet a chance to do its work. At bottom, Japan wants to be friendly. Wise ‘statesmanship can make it possible for that desire to be realized. * If the statistics compiled by L. H. Bean, eco nomic adviser for the AAA, tell the whole story, a genuine and substantial recovery seems to be set ting in for the farmer. . Farm prices, reports Mr. Bean, have gone up very materially. The farmer’s cash income, during the first four months of this year, was approxi ‘mately 43 percent above the income for the same period last year. From August, 1933, when the dis tribution of benefit payments began, to last April, farm cash income was 25 precent above the income for the same period in the year before. . To be sure, the farmer’s expenses have risen, also—by about 12 percent. But the farmer, accord ing to Mr. Bean, is still left with a gratifying net increase, most of which is due to rise in prices of produce rather than to payments made by the gov ernment for crop reduction; and the news is ex tremely gratifying. A healthy agriculture must be the basis for any real restoration of prosperity. TMhere’'s something slightly instructive in that recent story about the blue-blooded Illinois lady *ho got pinched in Pennsylvania for a traffic vio lation and Who, because she didn't happen to have the cash with her to pay her fine, had to spend two days in jail. The lady didn’t like it at all, and she protested that “such things are not for people of my sort.” Her son added, in the same vein, “it's a disgrace to Pennsylvania to jail a woman of my n other’s standing.” Such reactions are nautral jough, of course. Lots of jails are pretty disgrace -1l places; lots of traffic officers lack sympathy and ‘understanding. But we are still, in theory, a dem oeracy, and all people are supposed to be equal Defore the law. e B ON INCREASE By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, - and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. '?-‘f"-»ixvu» light case of infantile paralysis which has ':'jiw_ Ida Lupino, beautiful film actress, is one ‘of what apperas to be an epidemic of this vicious ‘@isease in California. u%; hére have been previous epidemics in that state §n 1925, 1927 and 1930. The epidemic of 1930 was the most extensive California ever experienced. In M t vear, 1,903 cases were reported, with 157 ‘jj’reuem the disease is spreading rapidly and “w‘k is no hope of a decrease before the coming of - s first cold weather. It is typical of infantile paralysis that it is a summer and fall disease. _ln California the cold weather is not likely to appear until late November. For that reason doc tors are advising people not to take small children M _California at the present time, because small ;‘ en are much more likely to catch this dis ii«’lhan are older people. . Infantile paralysis, like scarlet fever and diph % ria, is spread frequently by healthy people who ‘are earriers of the disease, rather than by direct _eontact with the sick person. ;.‘V-Ai-gew years ago it was generally suggested that infantile paralysis might be prevented by inoculat %:hudren with the blood of those who have re covered from the disease. Later it was shown that (even the blood of healthy grown-up persons has in it eertain powers of prevention against this dis &, perhaps because of slight attacks of the dis “and the carrying of antisubstances of the dis _ease in their blood. . Not enough evidence is available, however, to ‘warramt a general recommendation for the inocula _tion of all children who might be exposed, either with the blood of persons who have recovered or ' with the blood of healthy grownup people. Fw, there is still some doubt as to the, value “of the injections of the blood of those who have re _covered, in treating a child who has been definitely ‘diagnosed as having infantile paralysis. - Bwery child who develops an illness with sore ‘throat, fever. headache, pains in the stomach or ‘drowsiness should_be regarded as a possible vic tim of an infectious disease and should be kept in ‘bed until the diagnosis is definitely made. Afi’ ute rest with as little disturbance as possi s"“ is of the greatest value, both before the diagno sis and after. That kind of rest should cover a long period of time, because there sometimes are periods of quiet between periods of severe illness in the various stages of this disease. _ Not all children who are infected with this con dition are paralyzed. Those who are not paralyzed sometimes are capable of spreading the disease when they seem to be well, Liges e A GREAT SOUTHERN INDUSTRY Dr. Charles H. Herty’s discovery of man ufacturing newsprint from pine trees wili soon develop into one of the most impor tant and profitable industries in the south. Tentative steps have been taken by news papermen and financiers to organize com panies for the purpose of manufacturing newspaper ’ Dr. Herty has devoted much time and study to solving thé proper mode for man ufacturing paper from pine. trees. He solved the problem and the success of the discovery is no longer in doubt. Not only in the newspaper production of material, but Dr. Herty has found that nu merous other products of value can be man tured from pine trees of value. He is now ‘experimenting in the making of nitro-cel lulose, from which artificial silk, films and other things of commercial value can be produced. He has just commenced his field of labor for the development of the south and its many resources. Supplied with water, power and forest, a wonderful climate, this section of the nation is en dowed with resourcesthat will resultin the development of many profitable returns. PROBLEM OF OVER-PRODUTION The problem of over-production is one that has puzzled the best brains of all the continents. In America, over-production of cotton, wheat and other grains has been solved in a most satisfactory way, that is in such a way so as not to cause the farm ers a loss of their products. Ploughing up and reducing acreage of cotton has not only accomplished a reduction, in crops, but it has equalized and systematized pro duction on a basis of supply and demand. Down in Brazil, the people have adopted a similar system for reducing the coffee crop of that country. The surplus was so great that the price was not sufficient to warrant a continuance of coffee produc tion. In order to increase the price of cof fee to a profitable basis for the growers, the government ordered that 63,000,000 pounds of coffee be burned. While it may appear that the burning of coffee in Brazil and the burning of wheat in the United States is wasteful, it must be re membered that in order for the growers to make a living, food products must be destroyed just as manufacturers close down their plants in order to avoid accu mulating an over-production. GUILTY OF TREASON The case of Alfred L. Savage, of Fish hill, N. Y., charged with having made threats on the life of President Roosevelt is being tried in New York. The threats are alleged to have been made while the defendant was in Florida. The man was indicted by a Florida grand jury. The al leged threat is contained in the following: “Roosevelt should be taken out and hung fota telephone pole and riddled with bul ets”. Such remarks should not be allowed to pass without punishment. While the case has been transferred from the Florida courts to the New York courts, it is be lieved that the people of Florida will insist on a verdict of guilt. Several witnesses, one a man of eighty years, have gone to New York to testify as to the truthfulness of the remark. The case is attracting excit ing interest, not only in New York, but in all sections of the nation, Indiscreet remarks by people sometimes result in serious complications, though they may not be intended as literally true, they do, however, stir up passion and ill feeling calculated to bring on an uprising of re sentment that may lead to eriminal action on the part of citizens who ordinarily are law abiding people, but their temper gains control and their actions become of a law less character. CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS The announcement that 50,000 men will be added to the CCC in July will be re ceived with interest on the part of the pub lic, especially to those directly benefitted. Recruiting will take place in twenty-two states, mainly in the drought areas of the west. An authorization of $12,500,000 has been made by President Roosevelt for this purpose. During the past two years, the CCC has meant much for the relief of the unemployed and for the support of mil lions of families, who otherwise would have suffered for the necessities of life. These young men are paid at the rate of thirty dollars the month with twenty-five dollars pay allocated to the families of the young men. This amount, twenty-five dol lars each month, has been the whole sub sistence for many of the families and de pendents of the CCE boys. - This recovery measure has been one of great value to the people of this country. It has enabled them to carry on at a time when it was impossible for any member of the family to secure employment. Now that these camps are to be continued and increased, many deserving young men will have an opportunity of earning a liveli hood, not only for themselves, but for de pendent members of their families. WILL ROGERS FOR GOVERNOR Out in California the people are talking Will Rogers, noted comedian and enter tainer deluxe, for the office of govermor. Will Rogers is a philosopher and a man of rare and rescurceful ability. He is not only an entertainer of merit, but he is a genius, possessed with many loveable traits of character and an intellect of unusual force and discrimination. He is not the kind to play politics, but he is open and above board in all of his acts and never fails to let the people know just where he stands, even presidents and other dignitaries, come under the same. classification with Mr. Rogers. The people of California could do a whole lot worse, and few citizens that they might elect would be an improvement on the movie star, entertainer and one of the most interesting comedians of the present garand time .-~ o o THZ BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA A DAILY CARTOQON | P E § ( !

So far as we know, do definite decision has been made, but we are willing to wager a carton of Piedmont cigarettes on the suc cessful candidate, win or loose. ‘Now, that is a fair propeosition for a gambling man. Who will take the bet?. We bet one of the appli cants that they would make the grade, and they did, and we won the Piedmonts. However, all kinds of rumors are afloat as to how the appointment will be made, but that does not concern us as that part of It is In the hands of & man who always does theé right thing at the right time. When this postmastership is settled, we will have to fall back on Bill Beacham to help us get up this column every day. He is an encyclopedia on things of interest. We do not always agree on all things, but we never fall out or back-bite each other. We take things as they come and if they come together, good and well, but if they come split up, then we are split up, but not separated. Bill is one who can differ with his fellow man - without falling out with him and carrying a chip on his shoulders. Such temperament and disposition should be prized and appreciated, and it is by all who believe in fairplay and the right to one's own opinions. Bill Beacham is not a politiclan, but he is a mighty good worker when he is for a candidate. “Husband: “|s this vegeta ble all we are going to have for dinner toright?” Mrs. Youngbride: “Yes, dear. You see, when the chops caught fire and fell into the pudding, 1 had to use the soup to put it out.” The Chamber of Commerce committee that appeared before the members of the highway board in Atlanta last week is very much encouraged over the prospects of securing the pav ing projects asked for. It is practically certain that Lumpkin street will -be widened and paved and that Baldwin street will be paved from Lumpkin to Oconee street. The widening and paving of Lumpkin street is of all importance in that it com pletes a hook up of national high ways from the east to Florida. Tt is understood that thd members of the highway board were very encuraging to the committee, and it is believed that bhoth projects will be included in an early letting of contracts. Well, the Glorious Fourth of July will soon be here and fireworks will be in order for the preper celebration of In dependence Day. Powder, not political, ~ The Fourth of July is the proper occasion for fireworks and not on Christmas day. With many peo ple, the old custom of discharg ing fireworks on Christmas day is kept up, but it is fast passing out of existence and during Christmas times of recent years, the practice has been practically abnadoneq. And, it should be abandoned by all means. Christmas day should be held sacred and not a day of desecration and other celebrations of hilarious character. This vear it appears that it will be a po litical celebration which may bring THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN LIBERALISM AND CONSERVATISM on the fireworks after the smoks has cleared from the early morning charges made by candidates on the political front. 3 o P % .\: 4) i¥\-, R : 1e { & | » »"\‘l“ W i I - - > it = ..G . : \ ‘“‘v 0. ; 3 gl AR Ll 45 - 3 ¢ { - , 5 R | | 4 ; 4 P 4 m >\' = /‘ 7 i B "- o y e 24 : bv‘ .' -k - "”“‘"“-\(/\T~nfi e o W s £l —— i ; N \<&3‘ T g 07 la T e ) q , ‘ N £ & E Iy o, Sy Y is a fairyland - 2§ beautiful b - vs beautifu £~ bV, Los O s ° A ,‘_ = 3! b/ mountain resorts I T =k N < “.' ; o " E!' 0 \\ 'Py ,'\‘ } b ’ i g 7 . ,‘s Oey Tl LYW W 2K 7 P R et e ) \ PR P \ A ———— -3 o 3 — lh_ b ; ‘/_:'/ i;" xol /g > i :Po oy c;‘ e A\ X \ ! \\'\‘:fil, WL = o . e 2 ') - 4 i ,/ 1 - [ Old Indian Caves at Cloudland, } &l \// v//, i ’ e in the Northwest Corner & s 4 i@ /’/ Y = / : of Georgia il 4 o E—— & T ' }M Motor-Boating on Golfing at Tate Mountain Estates, . sk Lake YR“[’”” : '/fi .1/1/(3 North of Atlanta - S |— e~ > Aear Lakfmont j S a o, @ . - y oo S AV &) SPEND your vacation this summer in the g i 3,‘{“ d North Georgia mountains. . . .
