| CATTON'S COMMENT ’
. BY BRUCE CATTON ===
| Sentimentalists have been Qquietly weeping into
beer over the passing of the sailing ship for
; a weary year. But William McKee, veteran
mermer and author, rises in current issue of “To-
Gay” to remark that the sailing ship is still going
4o be sure, the old-time square rigger has just
gbout vamished. But the schooner, the barkentine,
and lesser varieties of the fore-and-aft rigged ves
el are still doing a good business; indeed, says Mr.
McFee, there ave probaply more ships of 40 or 50
ons under gail today than there were in the days of
‘rancis Drake. :
b But the old square-rigger, of course, is a rare
glght on modern scas; and Mr. McFee suspects that
jt was the very hardships of the life she offered to
her people that make men lament her passing. Should
world suddenly run out of fuel, he remarks, so
““t“ its ocean commerce would have to depend again
on the out-moded full-rigged ship, we would see &
reat dutpouring of young men eager to sign on as
hese men, he says, would come from everywhere— |
J gas stationg and banks, from college lecturel
pooms and schoolteachers’ desks, from chain stores
and stockbrokers' offices; all that would be needed '
would be to pass the word “that men were wanted
to man ships, not floating hotelg or steam-driven |
k houses, and the men would come in a hwry."‘
. There is litule doubt tnat Mcree is entirely right,

THE OLD AND THE NEW
When the hand on the clock of Father
Time points to the hour of twelve tonight,
the year of 1935 will have passed into ob
|livion and the new year of 1936 will be
ushered in. While we are celebrating the
‘incoming of the new year, let us not for
get the benefits and blessings we received
daring the passing year of 1935. While
business conditions were not as prosper
ous as they were prior to 1929, yet the
improvement was notably stable and on
the upward trend to normalcy.
The new year promises increased im
provements in all lines of business. Con
fidence is being restored; industries in all
lines are resuming operation and the un
empioyed situation is showing large de
creases in all sections of the nation. It is
a time for encouragement and rejoicing
over a condition that is bound to bring
better times and prosperity to the people
in all walks of life.
The Banner-Herald is appreciative of
the patronage it has received from foreign
and local advertisers and its subscribers,
which has made it possible for this news
paper to render a service to the commun
itfir which it hopes has been beneficial to
all,
For the new year, we extend greetings
to our friends and patrons, wishing for
them happiness and prosperity.
AN EXCELLENT RECORD
After a service of a decade to the peo
ple of Athens, Mayor A. G. Dudley will
retire from office Wednesday noon.
Ten years ago Mr. Dudley assumed the
duties of the office of mayor of this muni
cipality. He found the city heavily in
volved financially, owing the banks of the
city $116,000.00 in addition to current ac
counts of a considerable sum. He adopted
a policy of retrenchment, reorganizing the
financial system that had been employed
in the past, and commenced a new and
more constructive and business form of
government. Under his administration,
the city has prospered; permanent im
provements have been carried on by pav
ing more streets, building concrete brid
ges and replacing wocden bridges with
cubstantial material. He has kept the af
fairs of the city up to a high standard of
excellency, and when he retives from of
fice Wednesday, will turn over to his suc
cessor a clean and balanced sheet with #0
obligations, except the bonded indebted
ness of the city which is provided for an
nually by allocation to the bond commis
sion by the mayor and council.
The Banner-Herald, on behalf of the
people of Athens, express appreciation
‘and commendation for the splendid serv
.ces rendered by Mayor Dudley, and ex
tends to the new mayor, Hon, T. S. Mell,
every good wish for a successful admin
'istration.
APPRECIATION OF FINLAND
It has been suggested that some consid
eration should be shown the little country
of Finland for its prompt payment of the
loan made to it by the United States dur
ing the days of the World War. Since
that time, the officials of that country
have not failed to meet their cbligations
promptly. -No other foreign country has
kept faith with the United States, out they
have purposely avoided even the payment
of interest. Such action on the part of the
rich nations is inexcusable and without
foundation or justification.
In Washington, officials have suggested
that a por.ion of the payments being made
by Finland be set aside for scholarship
funds for the education of Finnish young
men and women in the universities of this
country. The suggestion i~ not only wise,
pul 1¢ 18 one deserving action on the part
'lof the officials, who have the power ana
authority to so direct such funds for this
lspecmc purpose.
MULTIPLICIITY OF LAWS
- One of the greatest services congress
and state legislatures could render to the
‘people would be the repeal of the multi
plicity of laws that have beer enacted in
|recent yvears. The codes of the various
'states are loaded down with conflicting
laws, so that it is practically impossible to
|convict criminals. There is a law for the
opening of an avenue through which
| criminals, after conviction, can secure a
new trial, and often are released on some
imsound technicality.
An article appearing in a recent issue
of Liberty Magazine, contains enlighten
ing information, sane and sound. It reads:
“If we were to go back to the Ten Com
mandments and to the general principles
of law as expounded by Blackstone, and
if we were to burn every law book that
records the thousands of legal restrictions
that were enacted after our country was
definitely organized, many complications
that bar the way to justice would be re
moved.”
The foregoing .is filled with food for
thought. If our representatives in the leg
islatures and in congress would consider
and act accordingly as suggested, the
states and nation would be much better
!off.

BEGIN HERE TODAY
Against the wishes of her
grandmother, aristocratic Mrs.
Willard Cameron, Dana West
brook marries a struggling
physician, Dr. Scott Stanley.
Before her marriage, she had
broken with wealthy Ronald
Moore. Dana’s half-sister,
Nancy, is in love with Ronald
but hides it behind an antag
onistic attitude.
Both Mrs. Cameron and
Paula Long, who has loved
Scott for years, hope the mar
riage will go on the rocks,
Paula, a patient of Scott’s, .
is always ca'ling him, and
managing to see him at par
ties. Dana has become aware
of Paula’s infatuation. Scott,
deeply in love with his wife, is
uncomfortable over the situa
tion. ¢
One stormy night Paula’s
housekeeper calls Scott and
tells him Paula is ill. He goes
to see her and Paula con
fesses her love for him. When
Scott's indifference and ‘con
tempt reveal to Paula the
hoplessness of her love, she
pretends good sportsmanship
and asks him to have a drink
with her.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXXII.
* Scott lifted his glass from the
tray. Paula was showing herself
to be game, all right. She hadn't
vhimpered or made a plea for
sympathy. when "he told her he
tnew the truth. -
Then, like a flash, came the
oremonition, Was she, though?
Jould you trust an emotional
voman in a state like this?
It may have been Paula's ex
oression that warned him. There
was a glow of triumph and trag
»dy in her eyes. Scott dashed hir
zlass and its contents to the
door. As quickly, Paula put her
(dps to her own glass, but Scott’'s
nand shot out, knocking it aside.
Paula crumpled, sobbing. They
were jerking sobs that sounded
horrible and pitiful.
Scott lifted her and called to
Charlotte loudly. Together they
worked swiftly. He was fairly
certain that Paula had not swal
lowed any of the poisoned drink,
but he could not take chances.
They worked over her exactly as
though she had taken a fatal
quantity. =
An hour later Scott talked
frankly with Charlotte. 'There
had been no need for explana
tions. Charlotte’s horrified glance
at the broken glasses and trail of
liquor on the floor and told her
the story.
It was Charlotte who located
the poison tablets and dropped
them into. the fire, while Scott
watched gravely.
Quited -by a sleeping powder,
Paula at last dropped into sleep.
Her face was pale on the pillow.
A thin hand gripped the dainty
lace coverlet convulsively.
Scott stayed, quietly watching
as she slept, waiting for any un
natural reaction. Across from him
sat Charlotte, her e€yes scarcely
moving from Paula's face.
~ Scott said in a low tone, “I can
trust you, Charlotte. No one
‘must know of this—or the other.
Soon we'll get Miss Paula away
where she can be treated and
cured.” :
“You can trust me, Doctor
Scott,” the housekeeper said.
“She’s like my own. You know
I've been with her since she was
12 years cld.” ¢ §
Scott remembered. He was
thinking that Paula had never
known ‘real home lite. Charlotte
had been the maid of Paula’s
assumed full charge when the
roung mother died. Paula's
father was somewhere, but he had
been divorced by Paula’s mother
and re-married before her death.
Paula’'s money had been inherited
from her mother.
Poor Paula, Scott thought, com
passionately, stretching out for
happiness with her eager, rest
less hands. When it eluded her,
she had tried to smash things for
both of them.
+ He was as certain as though he
ad analyzed the drink Paula had
anded him that it also had con
tained poison. But he felt only
pity for the distraught -creature
lying motionless on -the bed, as
though she were in that deep
sleep of complete forgetfulness for
which she had longed.
i At dawn a nurse arrived to take
4 rge. She, of course, must know
of her patient’s attempt at suicide
to be on guard.
She would know the rest, with
out being told as soon as she had
been on the case a few hours.
But Miss Maddox was trust-wor
thy, one of that gallant army in
whom s£oo many tragic truths are
safely buried.
Scott let himself into the apart
ment and looked around. The
place had a solemn air. Must be
his own state of mind, he toldl
himself. It was natural to feel
that way after such an ordeal as
he had been through.
He switched on a light in the
bed room and the tumbled, empty
bed met his eyes. There was note
pinned to the pillow, with Dana’s
name affixed in a shaky scrawl.
Scott read the note, smilingl
grimly over its childish sound:
“‘l'm going to Grandmother’s 10'
stay, Scott. I'm going while I can
leave with some dignity. Please
don’t ask me to come back. 1
don’'t want to—ever. Dana.”
His first wild impulse was to
get Dana on the telephone to tell’
her what a darn little fool <she
was. And then get a cab and
fetch her home immediately.
But it was 5 o’clock now.l
There’d probably be a commotion.
Dana’s grandmother was a Tar
tar, if he had ever seen one. No
it would be best to wait until
Dana had calmed down. After
some sleep, she would be sorry
and probably call to apologize.
She owed him an apology for her
lack of faith and her a.ttitude,f
which was certainly poor sports
mapship. ‘ She coudn’'tt have
known where he had gone. Even
if she had suspected, she might
have given him the benefit of
doubt and waited for his story.
‘Gradualy Scott worked himself l
into a rage. Dana had been fear
fully unjust, she had been a poorl
sport, but he loved her. He loved
her terribly. -And he'd forgive
her—omorrow.
She would be awfully sorry that|
she had failed him when she
thought things over. Dglshing]
back to her grandmother's the|
first time she got really angry
with him.
In spite of these thoughts Scott
was wretchedly unhappy. It was
not until the light was streaming
broadly into the room through]
the windows that he fell into a
deep sleep of exhaustion.
Dana’s grandmother had ans- |
wered the doorbell. In the_ early
morning shadows a - taxi bulked.}
A taxi driver stood holding a Ssuit
cause. Dana’'s stricken eyes we‘re’
lifted to Mrs. Cameron’s.
“Here, T'll take that suitcase,”
Mrs. Cameron said, assuming
charge. “Have you taxi money
child?” i
“Yes, of course,” , Dana said. |
She paid the driver and he was
off in the gloom. e
mother,” Dana said simply.
“Yes, I knew that.” She scru
tinized Dana. keenly, noting her
eyes, shadowed from fatigue and
reddened from weeping.
“Don’t ask me why,” Dana said,
“because I won’t tell you. It was
unbearale antl so here I am!”
There was a light of satisfaction
in! Mrs. Cameron’s eyes. “I sus
pected you’d come to it, child.
And I'm happy you had the gump
tion to realize it before you lost
yvour beauty slaving in a kitch
en.” -
“I didn't slave!” Dana eried
fmpetuously. £lt Avasn’t bedpuse
Scott is poor that I ran away!”
“Whatever the . reason, <you've
made the break. You must never
g 0 back to him.” 8
“No,” Dana said. ' Her heart
was like lead. And yet it felt
bursting with emotion. “I couldn’t
