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

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 barbecue to be given at
Watson Springs on the 19th of
' this month for the officiais and
friends of Rcute 15, promises
to bring together several hun
dred citizens from all sections
of the state.
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.

TIFTON, Ga. —(#)— George I.
Martin, of Sylvester, Ga.,, who was

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.
