I CATTON’S COMMENT | It begins to look as if the innocent citizen who gets out to get a little harmless amusement for him self during the next 12 months is apt to find him self up to his elbows in a mess of undertone po litical propaganda. ° The Democrats are going to the movies and the Republicans are heading for the radio, and the poli tical strategists are hastening to learn the inside sciously with admiration for the administration at joke concoction and the like. There arrived in Hollywood recently the austere and legendary figure of Rexford Guy Tugwell, who is unquestionably the handsomest man who ever was accused of having an undue amount of brains. It is his notion to put through a movie depicting the familiar old rags-to-riches story in a new guise, with the federa] Resettlement Administration, which he isads, in the role of hero. Aecording to preliminary announcements, a movie is to be constructed showing the devastating effects of the great drouth. At the crucial moment, up will come the gallant men of the Resettlement outfit— landing just in the nick of time, like the marines or the U. S. Cavalry—to transplant the harassed vic tims of the drouth to greener fields, The idea, one gathers, is that spectators will go away from this entertainment purged by the tradi tional emotions of pity and terror and filled uncon sciously wih admiration for the administration at ‘Washington. But if this looks like a low Demoecratic trick to stea] a march on the Republicans, it must be re corded that the Republicans are ready to pull a low trick ‘of their own. . The theatrical trade paper Variety announces that the Republicans are preparing a radio show entitled “Liberty at the Crossroads.’ This, it is said, is to be made up of a series of dramatic episodes some what on the order of the “March of Time"” broad casts, contrasting the dismal lot of citizens who live under a Democratic regime with the happy lot which was theirs when Republicans were in power. It is rumored that this will be only the first of a series of such shows, and that a $2,000,000 pot is being sought to finance the production of many more. And it does look as if our riva] party chieftains have got us between the devil and the deep blue sea. If we go to the movies, they will have us imbibing one (klnd of propaganda; if we stay at home and turn on the radio, they will pour another kind down our Qq:ggts. Perhaps we'd all better go in for work ing in the, garden for the coming year. .~ Moving picture press-agentry never was distin mfldi‘ed by its lofty good taste. But an all-time low seems to have been set with the propagation in Hol- Iywood ,of a story to the effect that Shirley Temple is having a love affair with a 10-year-old boy. : »‘SW?‘B put over a picture of these two children, with @ caption stating that they are principals in Hollywood’s latesy “romance” Shirley, we are as fi‘%l hard” for the curly hair and dark eyes ~ Nothing more disgusting than this has ever come @‘jflouywood. We expect bad taste in the press agentry of adult stars. After all, they are presum ably old and intelligent enough to stand it. But that ,afis'one, even in Hollywood, should be so abys flufly crude and stupid as te think that an obviously Ql‘ked ?e about a “romance” between two ten-year olds would either please the general public or make %e,.’efienter and pleasanter for the children them selves—that, even in a land used to the imbecilities %fl movieland, is hard to believe. . Whenever publishers sit down to make up lists of , “best sellers,” they never have the least ~ trouble in figuring out what book should go in first " place. That spot invariably is reserved for the Bible, . which for generation after generation continues to l# al] other books. ' What makes this worthy of remark at the present w' is the tact that this year marks the 400th ;M niversary of the publication of the first English ~ translation of the Bible. Myles Coverdale, an Eng ~ lishman, brought out a complete text of the Bible * 6 1535—the first full English text to be printed, al f~ gh Wycliff had cireulated a translation in man mupt form a century and a half earlier, and Tyn fi e had printed the New Testament in 1525. \ A nation-wide committee is pushing plans for - suitable commemoration of the anniversary. Cer . tainly the occasion is one of the most noteworthy -in all the history of the English-speaking peoples. E Small wonder thay the stock market has been de _ pressed by the fear of war. If economic sanctions . are imposed, as seems likely, and if the United States . goeg through with its embargo plan, the result will "be to remove a large European nation from the . market for the world's goods. © No one needs to think twice about the matter to . see that they could not fail to have a very bad effect v{# _world trade. Trade is a matter of infinite com | plexity and delicate adjustments anyway. You can . not abruptly take out of it a large and flourishing . market without throwing it into confusion all along ,5 :,fg‘pmbable, in other words, that the world’s | ,“‘é;i{?‘ ry from the great depression will be immeas rably delayed by the war in Ethiopia. And although ierica is a long way from Africa and has no con-< e s % there, our own eeonomy .will GEORGIA POWER COMPANY ~ COOPERATING | The “little” T. V. A., development pro posed by the government and sponsored by the pe.ple of Augusta and surrounding sections will receive the hearty support and cooperaticn of the Georgia Power Company. On a basis of the Boulder Dam project, President Arkwright, of the Geor gia Power Company, has offered to take all of the distribution of electricity pro duced from the development on the Sa jvannah river at Clark’s Hill. The esti [mated value of the electricity produced |from this development amounts to $17,- 500,000, to be used for federal navigation and flood control. Before a special federal commission, in session in Augusta last week, by invitation, President Arkwright laddressed the meeting of the members of the commission and a group of Augusta ’citizens, who have been active in secur ing recognition from the federal govern ment for appropriating a sufficient sum of money to insure the building of the pro ject. In his remarks before the gather }ing, Mr. Arkwright, in part, said: “We did not initiate this project and we are not seeking to have this development made, It was initiated by citizens of Augusta and. surrounding section because they believe it is for the good of Georgia. And, be cause we believe as they do, we are will ing to join with them in helping to make the development possible”. Answering a number of questions for the local commit tee and from members of the federal com mission regarding the absorption of the electricity at a rate that would insure the project to become self-sustaining, Mr. Arkwright, said: ‘“The Georgia Power Company will assume the responsibility of absorbing such power as Clark’s Hill may produce’”’, e et e President Roosevelt has stated that the Boulder Dam is self-supporting, and under a similar contract with the government for the distribution of current allocated to Georgia, Mr. Arkwright proposes to operate the project for a term of years finding customers for its output. The pro posal made by the representative of the Georgia Power Company appears to be in viting and one that would insure the suc cess of the project from its incipiency. GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED NEWSPAPERS There is much being said and written on the question of “freedom of the press” Especially since the trouble between Italy and Ethiopia. In Italy, the newspapers are under strict regulations and control of Mussolini. The same condition exists ir Germany where Hitler is the dictator and the censor of all matter, news and editorials, published in the news papers of that country. The people of those nations are not permitted to read beoth sides of any questions that may arise of vital interest to them and their country Only one side of the controversy is pub lished, and that side, of course, reflects only the policies of the leaders of the gov ernment, In the United States, the freedom of the press is accepted as a matter of course, and no one criticises the expressing of views on subjects of interest to the people by tht newspapers. Through this open forum the people are enabled to become inform: ed and to form their own opinions and express their views without molestation At a recent meeting of the American Newspaper Publisher’s association, ths chief counsel of the association freely ex pressed his opinions on the much discussed “freedom of the press”. In part, the chief counsel, said: : “The freedom of the press is not some thing which belongs exclusively to news papers. It is something which belongs to all the people of the United States. : “It is a right guaranteed by the Consti tution that the people should have a press free from poliical interference, restriction, coercion or restraint. “It was guaranteed because the people who founded this nation and wrote the Constitution believed the acts of public men should be reported to the citizens, and there should be no restriction on expres 'sion of opinion as to the propriety or im ropriety of those acts.” The press of the United States is giver carte blapche freedom without interfer ence from government officials or other lwise. Discussions of all important issues arising in governmental affairs, municipal, state or federal, newspapers are not’only permitted to publish such, but to express views and opinions, pro and con. The suc cess of this nation is due largely to the freedom of the press which has never been ‘questioned by the people. ARE PEDESTRIANS TO BLAME The number of casualties and fatalities with which pedestrians meet on the streets and highways are treated with as jokes or humorous occurrences by some of those who get up the comic pages for the news papers. Last year, of the 36,000 fatalities result ing from automobile accidents, 16,000 were pedestrians, Some one has suggested the following rules that should be adopted by pedestrians when traversing the high ways or streets: “I—Cross only at intersections. “2__Cross with the traffic signal when. ever there is one, “3—Keep children off the streets. “4.—On rural highways walk to the left facing on-coming traffic. “s—Avoid walking from behind parked cars. ; “6—Look!” While the pedestrian should be given every consideration by motorists, vet there 1s a eertain-amount of care that should be practiced by those who walk. Pedestrians should never walk in the middle of the road or street, nor back-track where au- THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA NICHOLSON NEWS By J. L.

Lose Fat The Easy 'S:L—'-M Starvation Diets, . Harsh, Exhausting or Weakening, Irritating, | Habit-Forming Laxatives | There's & reason why so many people find dieting slow and often times futile in re ‘ducing. The reason, doctors say, is often be cause a little gland is not working right. ~_All the blood in your body goes through this tiny gland sixteen times every day. If it doesn’t pour into the blood stream about ‘one and one-half drops of vitai fluid every 24 hours, many people take on ugly fat This fluid helps Nature to “burn up” excess food and fatty tissue in much the same way a 8 & good “‘draft” acts in a furnace. Now, physicians combat tnis condition by feeding this gland the substance it lacks —and millions of pounds of excess fat has been wiped out this way. Marmola Prescription Tablets are based on the same scientific method used by doe tors. So don’'t waste your time or money striving to reduce with methods that are hard, futile or depend on harmful, heaith racking salts and laxatives for their action. Start the Marmola treatment today that mil lions have used successfully to get rid of excess fat. The formula is in every box so you know just what you are taking. Don't wait—get Marmola today from druggists. USED CARS Georgia Motors Inc.
