B. A. Life’s Cruelty : ey ¥ By BRUCE CATTON A 20-year-old Ohio girl, who “never had a steady boy friend,” is being held in a Pennsylvania jail charged with murder. g This youngster, according to her mother, had always wanted a home of her own. The chances that she would get one didn’t look very good. She put in most of her time working in a factory; for some reason, nobody seemed in a hurry to come around and.ask her to set up housekeeping. So she finally wrote to one of these matrimonial bureaus, through which she met a prospective suitor——who happened to be 61 years old. It didn’t take the girl long to decide that no home at all was better than @ home with this chap, but he was pretty persistent. They quarreled; he remained persistent; finally she shot him. “1 didn’t go to kill him,” the girl explained, after ward. “I jus: meant for him to leave me alone.” In the superabundant crop of homicides which the United States manages to produce each Yyear, this is surely one of the least noteworthy cases. And yet, for some reason, it sticks in a reader’s miad; for back of it, all too clearly, can be seen that long, dreary shadow of loneliness, that falls quietly across so many humble and obscure lives. There are persons like this girl in every city and village in the land; hard-working folk who have just onme humble little wish—and who never quite manage to get it gratified. A girl wants a home of her own—surely one of the oldest and most natural wishes in the history of the race; and somehow, through the queer ways in which human affairs work themseleves out, she finds that she might just as well have wished for the moon. She tries to get it, makes a foolish mistake, gets into an intolerable jam-—and then, presently, there is a tragedy, and in her lonely groping she has pulled the world down about her head. Pitiful enough, unsensational enough, surely— why should we think twice about it? : Well,' our education is .incomplete until we learn the hard lesson that life is sometimés more cruel and disappointing than anyone deserves. That casual remark, *“Never had a steady boy friend,” can stand for as much suffering as a cancer, About us all there are persons who, as someone has said, lead lives of quiet desperation. If we can understand what some of them are up against, we can understand the wrong and mistaken things they sometimes do. Two thousand college students met in Newark, N. J., the other day to hear men eminently suc cessful in the various professions give them advice on the choice of their life work, The importance of making a wise choice was em phasized by one speaker with these words: “PThe man or woman in a misfit job is as marked an eéconomic waste as the eight-cylinder engine that fires only three cylinders. And when this waste of braing and energy and productiveness is figured in terms of 120,000,000 people, it becomes a national problem.” True enough, in all conscience. But if the man in a misfit job is a great waste, what about the energetic and ambitious man who can .get into no job at all? The economic waste involved in a mass of eight or ten million jobless men is one of the most appalling things of modern times, ' Leading educators attending the convention of the American Wederation of Teachers, in Chicago, ‘emphasize the importance of pouring a new stream educational system.” Prof. Harold M. Groves of the University of Wisconsin says that the most justifiable complaint against the New Deal is the fact that Congress had a choice between building warships and saving the nation’s schools—and chose to build warships, And Dr. Jesse H. Holmes of Swarthmore college remarked: “We have millions for roads, why mnot for schools? 1 think it would be better to have a few more bumps in our highways and fewer in our highways and fewer in our educational system.” We seem to need warships, of course, and we need roads: hut could not our need for a first-rate school system be put at least on a par With these two needs? E ‘ " HOLLYWOOD KEYHOLE 3 By DAN THOMAS NEA Service Staff Correspondent. . HOLLYWOOD.—One of the most difficult and at the same time most important phases of making motion pictures is the photography. No matter. what the director or the cast does, the final effect as seen on the screen depends to a large degree upon the cameraman’s work. _ For this reason cameramen are cast for a picture with the same care exercised in selecting the cast. Despite the fact that photography is standardized to a certain éxtent, each cameraman has his own individual® touch. Hence the careful selection of them for various productions. For example, one who will show up Garbo at her very best might go just to the opposite extreme with Joan Crawford. Just why this should be the case is one of those inexplicable phases of the movie business, but it is a proven fact that one cameraman will get better results with a particular star than any of his fel fows. even though they possess equal ability. Photographing the players is only part of the cameraman’s work, however, according to Oliver Marsh, now engaged for the third timt in photo graphing “The Merry Widow.” He shot it first in 1912 when Wallace Reid and Alma Rubens made it as a one-reeler. Again in 1925, when Erich von Stroheim made the picture with Mae Murray and John Gilber:, Marsh was at the camera. Now he's on the current version being directed by Ernst Lubitsch, with Jeanette MacDonald and Maurice Chevalier in the top spots. “Much of the cameraman's work comes in properly lighting each set,” Marsh declares. “He must sup ervise the placing of all lights, not only so that the photography will be distinct, but so that it will be in accord witk the mood of a scene. Harsh lighting, for example, will ruin the most beautifully playved love scene. In fact, improper lighting of any scene will cause it to lose much of its effectiveness.” Hollywood's romantic spotlight now seems to be focused upon Jackie Coogan and Toby Wing, the ‘dazzling blond who seéms able to get just about any man in Hollywood she wants. Since Jackie re turned from college about a month ago, he has been giving Toby such a rush that the other boy friends have had to be content with telephone conversa tions. £ things don't seem to be going so weli here, hop over to England for a couple of pictures and your _luck will change. At least that is what has hap pened to numerous local celebs, most recent among them being Marian Marsh. After being skyrocketed 3 P TSN i e CONDITIONS HAVE IMPROVED Speaking in encouraging terms, Senator George, on his return to Georgia, says that conditions are better and that a general 'revival throughout the nation is being felt. He further expressed the belief that the large exvenditures by the government were necessery. Speaking of President Rooseveit and the ‘“New Deal” policies Senator George, said: ‘““I believe business conditions are improved over the country. Of course the number of tunemployed is still a large total, but many of the socalled unemployed are doing part-time work. Americans are sturdy and industrious peo ple. They will not want to be dependent on the government any longer than neces sary”. These are the words spoken by Senator George who is in a position tol speak authoratively on present conditions and the future outlook. His activities and wise counsel with President Roosevelt and administration leaders have placed him in a position of recognition, not only with his colleagues, but with the people of the na-{ tion. ~ Since entering the Senate, he has taken a position of leadership that has been of po tential service to the administration. An adviser of the President and a wise coun sellor of his party, he has left nothing un done to further the interest of the admin istration in its efforts to provide a system of recovery measures beneficial to the peo ple and for the restoration of commercial and induvstrial interests in all sections of the nation. ; LITERARY DIGEST POLL CLOSED Some months ago the Literary Digest inaugurated a nation-wide poll on Presi dent Roosevelt’s administration, including his many recovery measures and the New Deal. The results of the poll are most grat ifying not only to the people of the coun try, but certainly to the President and the members of the administration and the Demperavie party, .s o 0 ph The polls conducted in the past have proved beyvond peradventure to be correct, especially is this true as was demonstrated in the presidential election of 1928 and 1932, In 1928 the poll indicated Hoover. Hoover was elected by an overwhelming majority. In 1932, the Digest arranged another nation-wide poll in which it was shown that Mr. Roosevelt would be elect ed. He was elected and administered a crushing defeat to President Hoover. ] The ballots cast in the recent poll was 1,772,163. In the affirmative 1,083,- 732 and in the negative 688,411 showing that the people of the nation are whole hearted in favor of the Roosevelt policies. In the column endorsing the President and his administration there appears forty seven states while only one stdte, Ver ‘mont, appears in the column opposing the iacts and policies of the President. The ivote in Vermont against the policies of lthe President was 3,459 as for 2,992, a narrow margin, to be sure. However, the vote in that state showed a gain of six per cent over the poll of 1932. The poll show ed a gain for Roosevelt in all of the New !England states in addition to New York, lMassachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, | Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Califor (nia and Wisconsin. In Georgia, the vote [of endorsement for President Roosevelt iwas 14,279 as against only 3,044. lln sev eral classifications, especially the bankers, business men, physicians, lawyers, clergy and educators 47:59 per cent of them were favorable, a slight majority in opposition. The poll of the Literary Digest is a safe |criterion on which to judge the popularity of the administration of President Roose lvelt in his leadership in bringing this coun- I‘try out of a state of depression, suffering and despair which seemed nigh impossible to restore when he entered office two years ago. His accomplishments have saved the nation and prevented what appeared to be a state of insurrection bordering on an out | bredk ‘o ‘civil uprising. SHOWING NO FAVORS The traffic officers in Pennsylvania are a “hard boiled” set, according to a news report of an Illinois lady driving through that state, who was held uF on the charge of violating a minor traffic ordinance or law. The lady found herself without funds, embarrassed over the contention and intention of the traffic enforcement officer, the good lady protested, to the best of her ability, but the officer did not relinquish his right to enforce the law. Questioning the rights of the office to ar rest and have her sent to prison, she was locked up where she was held for twenty four hours before she could secure her re ‘lease. {, The average police officer is unfortu ‘nate in not being able to exercise reason ‘able discretion in such cases. The young lson of the woman, in defense of his mother stated : “‘lt’s a disgrace to Pennsylvania to ‘jail a woman of my mother’s standing”. But the protest of the young man availed tnothing which brought from the mother ‘the remark, “such things are not for peo ple of my sort”. Such action on the part of officers con tributes much towards creating a resent ment on the part of the people for thla courts and the law.

The people interested in the building and paving of this high way are working with a determi nation for its completion. It is one of the most important highways in the state opening a direct route to IFlorida and passing through one of the best sections in Georgia, It is believed that the members of the highway board will look with favor on this project, and give to it early attention. At the meeting and bar becue this month, it is expected that a definite program will be agreed upon and immediate action taken for furthering the project. The mayor and council have ! adopted a potential program for paving a number of streets in this city which is a most | commendable policy and one | that will receive the endorse- | ment of the taxpayers. ' Many of the streets in Athens] are in a deplorable condition, and | should be repaired. Popla, stl‘eet.' especially should be given imme-' diate attention. This street is| practically impassable and is work- | ing a hardship on the residents asi well as the public. Working out and otherwise improving this | street would cost very little, but would be of much benefit for traf fic. ‘While the mayor and council | are planning their program for street improvements, this street! by all means should be included; Of course, there are other streets badly in need of repairs, but Pop lar street has b=en allowed to run down almost beyond redemption. ' The suggestion of Alderman Dußose that the taxicab com panies be required to furnish indemnity bonds should be adopted by the mayor and council. ‘With the operation of taxicabs such requirements as is usually made of public utilities companies should be applied, Protection shold be given the patrons of those cabs through insurance in reliable companies. The cost for such' pro- ! tection is of minor importance ;| where the interest of the public is at stake. However, we presume | that the mayor and council willl see to it that ample protection i will be required from all operat- ‘ ing taxi companies in the city. So much for municipal af fairs. Did it eve, occur to you that Athens is a most ideal re ~ sort for summer and winter. i With the proper advertising, visitors could be secured here the year round. The climate is superb: health giving water, pure air and just enough of sunshine o keep a per son “pepped” up morning, after noon and evening., Hotel faeili ties, golf links the equal of any in the country, all at the command of tourists, home seekers and in vestors. At the Century of Prog rédss fair this summer. thousands of pieces of attractive advertising matter, along with the feature edi tion of the Banner-Heralg wiil be distributed to the visitors there by an Athens man. who will see to it believer in Athens’ Tuture, show vour interest by joining the Cham ber of Commerce and otherwise boosting Athens. George |. Martin | . Assumes New Duties At Sylvester, Ga. TIFTON, Ga. —(#)— George I. Martin, of Sylvester, Ga.,, who was named master vocational agricul ture teacher of the South in 1932 has arrived here to assume his new duties as assistant state supervisor of vocational agriculture. Mr. Martin taught vocational agriculture in the Sylvester school for more than thirteen years. He succeeds M. D. Mobley who was transferred to Atlanta to become contact man for the state depart ment of education. Mr. Martin’s territory -ncludes about seventy counties in south Georgia. el i Announcement! Purely as a novelty, and to feature Celebration Week, the Palace Theater announced an admission pride of 15¢c for last Monday only. The generous response ac corded this innovation by our patrons and the many pleasing comments received from our Monday guests indicate that a continuation of this policy until September will be appreciated by the people of Athens. Therefore, until further notice, the Monday admission price at the Palace will be only 15¢. The same high-type of pictures will be offered in spite of the fact that since we have been granted no reduction in fi'!m costs, the reduced Monday admission price necessarily entails an operating loss. However, it will be our policy to regard this as a part of our contribution to our Great Presi dent’s recovery efforts. It s generally conceded that the psy chology of the situation is a vital factor in our roeovery p'ans, and with wholesome di version available, the morale of the average man and woman is bolstered to the point where they are more capable of coping with the perplexing problems that confront them daily. We feel that the nominal sum of 15¢ renders admissions avail iable to almost everyone and we hereby tender our patrons, old and new, a cordial invitation to be our guests every Monday at that price, until further notice.
