CATTONS COMMENT
gY BRUCE CATTON
T e
_Away back in the days of the Coolidge boom, a na- 1
{ional magazine descended -on Roy L. Gray, store- |
keeper of Fort Madison, lowa, and announced that i
he was America’s “average man.” |
+ln the nine years that followed, M. Gray has been
the, target of innumerable wisecracks. He is be- 1
ginning to get a little tired of it, which is no won- |
deér.at all and he announces that if it keeps up he
\Will ‘presently do “something tHat's a long way from
ayerage.”
"t may be some comfort to him to be assured that,
his selection was pretty phony, in the first place.
For the plain fact is that there is no such hing as
an Yaverage man’ in the United States any more ;
There hasn't been, since Colonial days.
One of the most noteworthy facts about Americ }
indeed, is that it is a jan@ of infinite variety. WQ'_:';
have had a good deal of talk about the standardi- 1
zation of habits and custom in this country, but you
do.mot need to travel about in it very much to dis
cover that the nation contains about as widely dif
feiing a collection of human beings as was ever
bmpght together under one roof. ;
i;g‘l;‘ick out a dry farmer from Montana, a steel pud
ifi:;; from Birmingham_Ala., a Cape Cod clam digger,
a two-acres-and-a mule cotton farmer from Arvkansas,
arl Indianapolis insurance salesman, & Slav produc- |
tion line hand from Detroit, a cowpoke from Wyom
ing, and a broker’'s clerk from New York—and just
try to average them. _
..¥You may be able to pick out one or two traits
that all have in common. Beyond that, your at
,;}’lmpt to strike an average will have you goggle
eyed in no time,
. Bven if you divide the-lan@ into classes, you can't
‘pick average men. Who for instance, is your aver
gb,g{gimer? The state of Maine potato raiser, the
‘Jtalian truck gardner from Massachusetts, the Ka.
sas wheat grower, the corn-and-hog man from Towa,
or the cantaloupe grower from the Rio Grande? A.
these are American farmers, but the nrutual resem
;fiapce goes little further than that.
' Then there are the women. Where is your average
among a New Jersey airplane hostess, a short-order
‘Waitress in a Minnesota railroad junction town a
/New York hosiery model, an Ohio housewife, a stu
dg‘n};;:nurse in Seattle, Wash., and a high school girl
M.&,Tennessee small town? . The odds are that all
Jof them are trim and pretty—but what average is
%. beyond that?
' ‘The truth is, of course that we simply kid ou
,;nfiyq; when we talk about #any sort of ‘average
Wcan. There is no average—and it is precisely
in that fact that there lies the richness and the
_Strength of our nation.
~ The odd case of King Edward and Mrs. Simpson
calls attention to the utter folly of trying to keep
wm from fining out about things by c‘ensoring u}e
sough this case has been given scores of col-.
f in American papers, the British papers have
printed not one line about it. Are the British, then,
in the dark about it? By no means. Their interest
i;&-;?,t: fever heat.
;%@fie,good old word-of-mouth pipeline has informed
_practically everyone in the kingdom that the king
m_figt!}e young matron are deeply interested in each
m'arxd that the young matron has divorced her
“husband.
Weed the British know a great deal about the
e 3@, that just isn’t so. Rumors have flourished and
swollen to fantastic extremes. :
It is a safe bet that the famous Simpson case
Zfinfi%‘d actually be less of a sensation in Britain to
'hy;!t the British papers, from the beginning hac¢
opened their columns tg it as freely as the Ameri
{;:i{a"‘papers have done. :

ROOSEVELT AND THE NEW DEAL WIN
+ By an overwhelming majority of the
votes cast in the presidential election last,
Tuesday, the American pcople endorsed}
President Rooscvelt and his policies and |
decreed that he should be continued in of—]
fice for another four years. The vote in|
favor of Roosevelt and the New Deal wasl
80 /decisive, no doubt is left in the minds of |
the public of his administraticn having'
been for the hest interest of she people and |
for the preservation of the nation, ,
The almost unanimous expression of ap-|
proval of ‘he adminstration by the voters|
at the ballot boxes should encourage Presi-'
dent Roosevelt in continuing his policies !
which have been for the benefit of .all|
classes of our people. Disregarding unfav- |
orable criticisms, misrepresentations and|
barriers thrown in his path of duty, Presi-l
dent Roosevelt carried out his New Deali
program which saved the people of the!
nation from a civil uprising and starvation. |
For another four years, the Americani
people, who have an abiding faith in Presi
dent Roosevelt, can rest assured that their
interest will be protected, and that the
government under which they will live willl
be conducted in aclean and honest manner !
as has been the case during the present
Democratic administration, :
The quelching repudiation of the Re
publican party and its principles by the
voters of this country, sets at rest any
hopes of its revival as a major political
party in the United Stdates in future years.
Never has there heen a more determined
fight made in a presidential campaign
than the one just closed. The paramount!
issues of the Republican party were madel
up of wilful and malicious charges against]
President Roosevelt and the Democratic |
party. Resorting to all kinds of methods
to defeat Roosevelt, the Republican lead
ers conducted a campaign of money spend
ing in an effort to debauch the electorate
and defeat every issue benficial to the
whole people.
“Happy days are here again”; let us re
joice #nd give thanks for the blessings we |
have received and for those that are to
come to us during the next four years. |
FRANCE TAKES THE LEAD
The Blum government of France has set
at rest all complaints and charges made by
those opposed to war that the manufactur
ers of ammunition are responsible for the
wars. Hereafter, the government of France
will manufacture its own ammunition, and
no purchases of war material will be made
of outside companies nor any that is now
doing business in that country.
The movement is to be commended, if
for no other reason than that of placing
the country, free from eriticism of being
influenced into buying its ammunition
from indepedent companies that seek to
«tir up wars. In this country, the argu
ment that the ammunition manufacturers
were responsible, in a great measure, for
bringing on the World War was with
out foundation. Such yot was noth
ing more mnor less than a dream
brought’on by ‘a diseased mind creating
imaginary causes for the war,
However, such arguments cannot be suc
cessfully used in France, now that the
country proposes to manufacture its own
ammunition to be used in case of war. That
should silence the argument that manufac
turers are responsible for wars forno other
reason than to be able to sell their prod
ucts to the participating nations. Of course,
it is obvious that the manufacturers of am
'munition would be glad to sell to coun
]tries’ engaged in war or even those who
may be vrospectives. It is a matter of bus
liness with them, but we are not inclined to
lthe belief that all wars are started by such
Imanufacturers.
THE HUNTING SEASON IS HERE
With the opening of the hunting season,
hunters should bear in mind that there are
other hunters in the woods and fields be
sides themselves. A stray shot often goes
awry and kills some friend when least ex
pected. That has been the experience in
the far west this season with deer-hunters.
It is reported that thirty-six deer hunters
have been killed this season. Eighteen
were shot by other hunters; ten shot them
selves by accident; four got drowned while
chasing the deers and four, over-excited,
dropped dead. ;
A record of note and one worth the at
ltention of hunters in order that they may
profit from the experience of others, Deer
lhunting is an exciting game, but it should
not cause sportsmen to forget themselves
land lose their merves. Quail shooting is
just.as exciting, and unless hunters are
lcareful, similar accidents may occur with
that class. :
In this immediate section, deer hunting
is infrequent for the reason that this class
of game is scarce. If the people will co
operate with the state department of
game, deer shooting will become as com
mon as rabbit hunting:. It is only a question
of conserving game in order to make it
plentiful and furnish to hunters a supply
that may last for years. A
Hunters enjoying the sport should have
in mind at all times, that unless they pro
tect the game, soon the woods and fields
will be barren and hunting will no longer
be considered a sport or pastime, :
It behooves all good sports to stay with
in the limit of the laws as to the num
{oer of birds, rabbits or other game they
bag. ;

gan the use of duplicating machinery for
mass production of watches in 1838, but
it-was not until 1853 that 3 Boston watch
company produced them in quantity.
The gorilla does not beat his breast to
denote anger. The action is apparently
an outlét for a superabundance of energy
and he does it during all his various
moods. -

Dollars have a gratifying stretch to
them when you cook electrically — you
will thrill to the joy of “making ends
meet” when you use an Electric Range.
First, our low electric rates—amongst
the lowest in the United States—assure
low cooking cost. Then, there is no food
wastage due to shrinkage—a four-pound
roast remains practically a four-pound
roast after cooking, and doesn’t shrink
to an embarrassing size. Lastly, there
are worthwhile savings in laundry and
cleaning bills. Clean electric heat soils
nothing — curtains, aprons, towels stay
clean longer; pots and pans need no
scouring cleansers; woodwork and walls
remain free from grease and grime, re
quiring less frequent refinishing. Per
haps, after all, the greatest advantage of
electrically cooked foods is that they are
juicier, tastier — because flame-free elec
tric heat cooks them in little or no water
and without moisture-stealing oven
drafts.
The biggest ~vote ever cast.
in Clarke county in a general
election, was cast for the
nominees of the Democratic
party, state and national,
Tuesday.
It was a glorious victory for
President Roosevelt and his ad
ministration which proves that
the people are not only satisfied
with -the present government, .but
that they propose to -keep it in
rower. If the whole nation was as
solid for Democracy as is Clarke
county, there would be no neces
gity for holding @ elections—just a
nominating convention would be
all required to keep the party in
power permanently.
