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-<

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-

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.
