X Lost In Distance s BY BRUCE CATTON "No more impressive examples of the relative ef t§¢t of "distance upon the human emotions can be had, than those afforded by three recent disasters which cost a total of nearly 3000 lives. *To Americans, the one that struck home with most t‘fqliing effect was the burning of the Morro Castle Just off the New Jersey cpast. Fire at sea is perhips the most horrible form of death human beings &re called upon to face, and here was a case where 137 men and women were burned or drowned as_the *inal episode of a gay holiday cruise and within @ply a few hours of home. _The. exent struck horror into the hearts of all of §b." I S9vas so close and its victims were so fami- B s 5 “¥et within the same month two much more heart rending tragedies have occurred, and it is doubtful swhether either got more than casual recognition in our homes. In"one case, a mighty typhoon swept out of the Pacific and over Osaka, Japam, «nd hurled nearly 2000 ‘aen, women and children to their deaths. It tors up buildings and homes and left more than 5000 hémeless and destitute. : In ‘the other case, an explosion sealed the opening to a coal ming near Wrexham, Wales, and doomed f&f-flfie’rs to a death by fire and asphyxiation. "Here were accidents far more disastrous than the Morro Castle fire, but because of their distance from .us they seemed so unreal and intangible, It is hard for us to realize the gravity and dread con* sequences of these distant disasters. Men, women and children deprived of their homes: fomilies torn w; wives, sons and daughters lel’. mournin, and alone: thousands without further means of support. . At the same time the Lindbergh case breaks again, a suspect is arrested and the whole story of the fatal kidnaping of more than two yvears ago is re vived. So gripping was that tragedy and so belov ed its principal characters that it has become the chief topic of discussion in most homes of the coun . But while we are so engrossed in our own affairs, |we seem to lose regard for those of distant peoples, and the farther these peoples are from us, the less’ -do they asset us. . Perhaps that is only human for it would seem a sorry tai to take the whole world’s disasters equally to hearti 'Every:lover of good sportsmanship might have had some degree of sympathy for Captain T. O. M. Sopwith lin his protest of a foul on the part of his opponent. in the international yacht races off New port. . Someh’bw or other, the amenities so aptly defined by the amncient comies, Alphonse and Gaston, are re guired under the racing rules when the commander of an oéfiartuking vessel—in this case the Rainbow-— fl;gdenly‘ is confronted with a determination on the part of the leading boat, the Endeavour, not to be overtakeni. Quite possibly, Commodore Vanderbilt ‘should mve bowed himself away to permit Captain -Sopwithiito luff into the wind ahead. Lsßut awhat lost the Britisher both the decision and the sponjs-loving American’s sympathy was the fact that he: ook three hours to plough through the rules for causp of protest before flying the red flag. In America, he should know, protestants yell first and find thescause later, The ‘ji,'oap gun” attempt to escape, staged by death house comvicts in the Ohio State Penientiary at Col umbus, Ohio, is another proof of the bluff and bra vado by, which the underworld has cowed society. “* Dillinger and his wooden pistol were the first sy ‘bol of this gangster philosophy. But it was enough ‘to prepare organized society for a similar occurrence and to crash down upon the hoodlums fearlessly anc ‘ruthlessly. L~ “Only by such action as that displayed’by the riot "squad in the Columbus jail, in thwarting the jail ‘Ui’etk,, led by Dillinger's pals, can the underworld be “madé to realize that society intends to call its bluff And.oply by such vigilance can all of us feel more “Ssecure in our homes. FALL AND ATHLETICS o BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN : 'm Journal of the American Medical Association . and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine " One of the commonest injuries in daily life, and ven more so in such games as football, basketball fi soccer, is a bruise or muscle tear. Such injury ‘eccurs anywhere on the body, but is most commonly #eén on the thighs, which are likely to be injured in ‘blocking. . When a severe bump on the muscles® of the thigh fakes place, there may be tearing of the muscle, ‘with a large amount of hemorrhage into the tissues. ,’;fye.‘firsg thing to do under such circumstances is 40 _put some pressure to control the bleeding and to apply eold. .. After the skin is shaved, an elastic bandage may Jbe applied, or an adhesive bandage, as a eircular dressing.. This will continue the pressure and also Help to sustain weight. A firm bandage gives support and may be left in place for several weeks, if-it is sufficiently water of the injury have subsided, heat may be -applied to proof to withstand bathing. After the first effects aid absovrption of the blood and to promote healing.{ . Another type of injury that is very common is the pulling And tearing of ligaments around the joints. The most important step in treatment of sßc¢ch injuries is complete rest, seenred by immobilizing the join!.——sd_mvunws by use of a plaster cast, sometimes by sfragping with adhesive tape. . ~ Of gourse, joinis that are ®at in one position should _never bd fixed without the aftention of someone who understands the matier thoroughly. In other words, only a physiclan, who vealizes the advaniages to be ’ seoured ‘and the dengers that can result from the wrong kKind of fixing or strapping in the wrong posi tien, sheuld attempt to put on a permanent bandage. ,;:;'m;zee jeint is the most likely to be injured in ‘#he majority of games, particularly in football. In ‘most: cases the blow on the knee takes place on the cuter fi‘e., In this position the' lower leg acts as a . dever; which serves to tear the cartilages around the o ; 1 _« odn Injlries of the knee joint, also, fixation of the fi;mh the correct postion is of greatest importance. ~_Sprains of the ankle joint are also exceedingly - commont It is not advisable to wait until all swell ~ ing goe i down before applying a firm bandage or _ dressing. It is usually believed best to apply a tight _ Strapping Dbefore the swelling comes up. A sprain of the ankle may be bandaged with the ' ' .}.?lfiyx'- idigorm R N '-.* , ENGLISH ADOPTED AS LANGUAGE The people. of the Philippines have adopted English as the official language for the island and have ordered that it be ‘taught in all the schools. Strange to say, the people of Puerto Rica, in the solid Am erican territory have adopted Spanish as the official language, which will be taught in all of the schools. The Filipinos have voted to make Eng lish the official tongue. It will not be long until the Philippine island will become a free country and independent of American interference or control. This was made pos sible by congress when at the last session an act was passed authorizing that eountry to become free and independent. Of course, in business circles, English will continue to be the predominate lang uage on the islands—that being brought about by the large number of Americans living there and on account of trade rela tions with the United States. SOARING SKY HIGH The price of bacon and pork is soaring sky high and the outlook for the coming monthe indicates further advances in the price of hog meat. This condition is brought about on ac count of the drought season in the Middle West, so it is alleged, but be that as it may, the increased prices are fixed and those who consume such meats will have to pay the price, if they continue to use pork and bacon, ly This condition should be a warning to southern farmers—those who have not been raising their meat at home. In order to avoid paying these high prices, every farmer in the south should raise not only a sufficiency for ‘his own needs, but he should raise a surplus for marketing pur poses. Since June, the hogs of the corn belt have increased in value, which of course, has helped the farmers and hog raisers in that section, but the southern farmer should look to his own interest and pre pare against paying such high prices for his meat when every pound that he can consume can be raised at home, and just as good a grade of meat. These are unusual times and unless the farmer realizes his position and takes ad vantage of it, he is bound to suffer. Every farmer should live at home—that is, every farmer should raise his own meat, poultiy and grow his bread and manufacture his dairy products. -There is no justification for a farmer in the south to be dependent upon the farmer of the west to supply him with his meat and bread. Now. is the time to begin preparations for the “live at home” program. Farmers taking advantage of their opportunities will not suffer, but they will become inde pendent and their products profitable to them and ‘their associates. MANY NEW FACES IN CONGRESS "« The 74th Congress will convene in Janu ary with sixty-nine new congressmen and five new senators—that is, unless changes are made in the November elections. How ever, that is not probable for the reason that practically all:of the states have nom inated their representatives in the prima ries held during the past several months. As to the .party. changes, that is problemat ic; 'the Republicans may show a slight gain in membership in the lower house, but not of sufficient numbers to materially affect the present large working majority on the Democratic gide. Some of the representatives who have held seats in the house for years retired on their own motion, but ir a majority of the cases, they were defeated in the primaries. In this state there will be two changes in the personnel of the lower house, Judge Welchel, of Gainesville, will suecceed Judge John Wood, of Canton, and in the First district, Hugh Peterson, of Ailey, will succeed Homer C. Parker, of Statesboro. The two new congressmen were nominated in the recent state primary, which, ‘of courge, is tantamount to election in this state. Loy In two other districts the incumbents,| Judge Cox and Braswell Deen had close rubs, but they managed to get by with a margin of votes sufficient to nominate them. In 1936, the presidential election will overshadow all other elections, but the fights between Republicans and Dem ocrats for the control of congress will be a bitter campaign. However, it is not ex pected that the Republicans will drum up serious opposition to President Roosevelt, His administration has stemmed the tide of criticism and active opposition during the present term, and unless there occurs a revolution in sentiment, President Roose velt will be re-elected with as large a unit vote as he was in 1932. As to the con gressmen and senators, there will be, of ‘course, opposition in all the states, espec ially in Georgia where it is expected that a number of seats will be contested. In the senator’s race, no opposition is being mentioned, and it may be that the junior senator, Richard B. Russell, will not have opposition. Senator Russell is serv ing the unexpired term of the late Senator William J. Harris. However, there is no telling what may arise before the primary of 1936. Political lineups sometimes are formed over night and the unexpected de velope mushroom like. But then, it is too far off for speculation at this early date. Many things can happen to change plans —that is, if any plans have been in the making. Slates are easily broken and “promises, we make them, not to keep them, but to break them, for we are all poor weak mortals after all”’. i Well it is too early in the political sea son to be making and figuring on what will take place two years hence. Time will have a hand in that procedure, and the least we may have in mind, at this time, may turn ont just the reverse in the cam paigy of 1936. . © VWYY British railways showed® an increase of $1,390,000 in passenger traffic receipts for the first two months of 1933 over the same BN ol T THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA A DAILY CARTOON ) / Ney £ 7 Z A 4 /7 o & : 7 HNNOER Ne ey % 1 = 'l!‘\ = W MANACE ,//’?///’; Ko ] 74/ | SeMenTl T/ e Lol SS e G . , /// E T¥R —— ( = o 3 BENEC | gUL C By h%e = bt o A T i o lßeil, fi?muu N P 111" /W e é}fit. % A‘:f"] I 1 g 5 i //;fl*f/;} eR2 J | A LT oy e A i || & Sl e e e AN e == O i C E (7 il o LT A T e i!!“‘]""‘;‘ % e, H/‘ ” “fi’?; o | " @, J = £2A ml . @A 2.3, R - | SN2 A | 542 i [ 'g’ | % eEN 8 ‘ v s 5 ’ : HECR 00~ DID IT EVER OCCURTOYOU -- A Little of Everything, Not Much of Anything By HUGH ROWE + The installation of loud speakers at the football game Saturday afternoon, on San ford stadium field, was an in novation appreciated by the patrons of the game. ’ It is the first time, in local foot ball games, if not the- first time ever attempted in the country, that the game was broadcasted through loud speakers, play by play. It is not only a, & novel plan, but it is a contribution and added pleasure to the patrons of the game. Now that the University Athletic Association has .inaugu rated the loud speaker sfstem. it may be expected that other insti tutions will follow. It is, indeed, worth while, and we trust that the system will be used in all games played here. . We are not informed ‘as to the cost of such a service, but from the success with which the broadcast met Saturday afternoon, any reasonable cost would prove a good investment for the athletic association. The widening and paving of - Broad street. from Huii street to Milledge avenge filis one of Athens’ greatest needs in the . way of relieving traffic con gestion on various streets. When Broad street has been paved, much of the trafic on Hill street will be relieved, the dis tance being shorter to the busi ness district of the city for a large number of citizens living on South Milledge and tributary ‘sec “tions. For years we have advocat ed the widening and paving of this street, and now that the work is te be commenced at once, that is grading and paving (preliminary work already commenced), we de sire to commend the members of the board of county cemmission ers and the mayor and members of the city . council fqr having agreed upon the improvement and [mado possible the paving of this street. [ The next improvement, in l the way of street paving, is l that of Lumpkin street, from | / Broad street to the top of the | [ hill at the Agriculure Col- | | lege. This work, we are quite sure.' will be taken up before the first of the new year. We are not‘atl liberty to make' known -the planel or agreements, but we are morally certain that the muaicipality and' county will receive substantial aid in the promotion of this project.’ It is only a matter of detail until work will be commenced: on this street. With its completion and ’that of Broad street, Athens wm] ‘[ha\'p ingress and egress from all sections of the state and country. Now, do not bear down on us for making the positive statement | that Lumpkin street will be wid ened and paved, “believe it or not” but take our word for it, it is as sure to be widened and paved as Santa Claus is to come Christ mas. Qur friend, R. T. Goodwyn, ' well known real estate broker, " has beén an enthusiastic ad vocate for the paving of Broad and Lumpkin streets. ¢ If what he has said and what we have written in this column advocating the paving of these streets could be converted into legal temder,. we could bankrupt the Unif® States treasury. How ever, now that both projects are in the making, we hope that he will be satisified and we know that we are. so why beep barpios complished. At any rate, we do not know of any improvements that will prove of more value to the community at large, than the paving of these streets. Well, we are ready for some thing new. Any suggestions from the readers of this col umn will be welcomed, and, - if deserving, our best service will be lent to the movements. What we would like to see first is a program of street repairing and paving by the municipality. The * street repairing could be paid "tor out of the general fund without . necessitating an increase in taxes.
