CATTON’S COMMENT
BY BRUCE CATTON
After years of agitation, statg"legislatm‘es in va
rious parts of the counury woke up and outlawed
brecch of promise suits. Recognizing that such
suits are, in most cases, merely a polite form of
blackmail, and that’ money is no balm for a genu
inely wounded heart, they ruled that failure to -go
through with a promise of marriage is not a valid
cause of action.
So far, so good. But a magazine writer pointed
out the other day that only half of the job has been
e ;
In most states, for instance, it is still a criminal
offense for a gentleman to béguile a lady into sub
mission with false promises of marriage. If she
cares to go into cour{ and plead tearfully that she
surrendered her virtue under the impression that
she was about to become a bride, a deceived lady
can have a man sent to prison,
And so, since one threat is about as good as an
other for gold-digging purposes, the old shakedown
goes on under another guise.
Now the shakedown part of it is not really so very
important, since the man who sets up as a Don Juan
is just asking for trouble anyway. But, when you
stop to think about it, a law of this kind bespeaks
about as odd and insuiting an idea of American
womanhood as could pessibly be devised.
For when we provide prison terms for men who
gccmnplish seduction with promises of marriage,
we simply say that the avergae woman is a weak
and witless creature who cannot look out for her
self. We assume, in the most uncomplimentary
fashion possible, that she loses her grip the moment
a soft-spoken and plausible chap cares to talk glib
ly about engagement rings and orange blossoms. We
write into law the theory that she can say anything
bt ‘no.”
A tremendous amount of bunk has been written
with this theory as a base. Witness the novels,
short stories, and movies which ring the changes
on the theme of the poor helpless woman and the
heartless and deceiving man. Sometimes the villain
is the stenographer’s boss, sometimes he is a gay
vung man of wealth, and sometimes he is just an
ordinary heel, but tne basic plot is always the same
+ « » luckless woman, at the mercy of the first un
principled wretch who comes along, :
Could anything be further from the facts? The
ordinary American girl is abundantly able to take
care of herself, thank you. SBhe can say ‘“no” in six
languages and make it stick. She no more needs
the criminal code to save her from the gay decelver
than she needs a government bureau to tell her how
to powder her nose. She stopped believing in Santa
Claus at the age of 5 and she has had her eyes open
ever since. ; s
All this is not frightfully important, probably.
But since the modern woman has so clearly shown
that she can make her way in a man's world and
remain a pretty swell sort of person, mightn't we
get our laws into line with the facts?
Vacation time is near, once more, when the ocean
and inland lakes will lure througs of pleasure-seek
ers. And, just as in previous years, there are thous
ands who will never return from these watering
places. For drownings are a major cause of accl
dental deaths.
And so the words of Dr. Bayard T. Horton, of
Rochester, Minn,, may well be heeded. According to
him, recent studies have revealed that hypersensi
tivity to cold water has been responsible for many
drownings, persons afflicted in this way being apt te
collapse after entering the water,
To determine whether you have the wakness, im
merse one hand in ice water for five minutes., I
your hand swells after removal, you are hyprsensi
*@ Most persons, Dr. Horton advises, can be “de
sensitized” to cold by immersing one hand in ice
water for a minute or two twice a day for three or
four weeks,
A simple procedure, certainly, if it means lessen
ing the danger of losing one's life this summer,
The coroner of Cuyahoga county, most populous
county in Ohio, has investigated all auto traffic
deaths for the first quarter of 1937, and he announces
that 68 per cent of the persons killed had been drink
ing. The ratio was about the same for drivers who
were killed and for pedestrian victims,
Now the point is that in moest of these cases the
victims were not what we cail drunk. By no means.
They had “just had a few drinks’—just enough to
dull that hairline quickness of observation and re
action which is the price of safety in the modern
big-city traffic stredm.
It's a hackneyed old saying, but it is still true—
gasoline and alcohol are a fatal mixture, even when
the proportion of alcohol is very small.

FORMER MAYOR RHODES DIES
. J. Frank Rhodes, former Athenian, and
’prominently identified in the commereial,
civic and political life of this city, died at
his home in Atlanta Friday. 0
~ For years he conducted a large broker
age business here, dealing in groceries,
grain and hay. He was a member of the
city council for several terms, following
which services he was elected Mayor of
Athens, holding that office for two terms.
Later, he representea Clarke county in
the legislature, where he was recognized
as a leader, taking an active interest in all
important legislation. He was the author
of the bill for electing the county commis
sioners by the people. During hig term in
the legislature, he rendered valuable serv
ice in aiding to secure appropriations for
the University of Georgia, the Georgia
State College of Agriculture and the State
Normal School. Under the administration
of Governor Hardwick, he held the office
of State Game and Fish Commissioner.
Under his administration as mayor of
this city, the present city hall was buiit
and many other improvements of note
worthy interest were made, especially the
paving of Broad and Clayton streets and
College avenue. Progressive and enter
prising, Mr. Rhodes was one of the most
substantial and progressive citizens this
city has ever had. His passing will bring
sorrow to hundreds of citizens here who
knew, admired and appreciated him for
his many good traits of character and for
the services he rendered is the upbuilding
of Athens,
Hundreds of Athenians will be grieved
to learn of his death, and to the membe®s
of his family, their sincerest sympathies
will be extended.
“ETERNAL LIGHT PEACE MEMORIAL” |
Twenty-four years ago, on the invita
tion of Governor Tener, of Pennsylvania,
there was held a “Blue and a Grey” re
union at Gettysburg, the scene of one of
the greatest battles the world has ever
known. It was attended by over 50,000‘
veterans of the Confederate and Union|
armies. These old warriors met in peace,'
and talked over the trying days of hostili-i
ties when strife and bitterness ran high|
iin the minds and hearts of these soldiers
who were fighting for a cause they be
lieved to be right.
The battle of Gettysburg lasted three
days, July 1, 2 and 8, 1863. The soldiers!
on both sides fought until they were ex-|
hausted and when the Confederates with
drew from the scene of the battle field,
the Union soldiers were too tired to fol
'low. When the reunion of the members.
iof the great struggle was held in 1913,!
Governor Tener invited them to return
‘twenty-five years later, which will be in
'July of next year. The invitation was ac
cepted and next year these former foes—
those that are left, will meet at Gettys
burg for the last time in this life and re
new acquaintances and friendship before
]passing to the eternal tenting grot‘mdsl
where peace will reign supreme. |
| The legislature has appropriated the
sum of $38,000 for expenses for the re
union. Besides expenses of these old vet
erans of both sides of the struggle will be
paid to and from the reunion. Only a
small number will be present at the re
union next year, but those who are spared
'to attend will meet in unison and re,]:oice
!over a reunited country and a spirit of
{brotherly love will prevail throughout the
|gathering.
A movement has been inaugurated to
lerect on the Gettysburg Battlefield, dur
ing the 1938 reunion, an “Eternal Light
i Peace Memorial”. This memorial possi-
Ibly will be erected on Big Rbund Tobp
|from which an “eternal light” will burn
every night in the year for generations to!
come. The plan is to have each of the
forty-eight states to contribute the sum of
$5,000 for this purpose. Pennsylvania and
Virginia legislatures have already appro
priated this sum and it is to be hoped that
all of the other states will do likewise.
Such a movement deserves to succeed and
!as long as time lasts, this light of peace
[will burn as a memorial to a reunited na
!tin” and in- memory of brave and true!
men who gave their lives in settlement of
'(liffor(‘nves that they believed to be rlght.l
ANTI-SEDITION LAW ANNULLED
The Georgia anti-sedition law, enacted
in 1876 has been declared unconstitution
al by a vote of five to four of the mem
bers of the Supreme Court of the United
States, - ey
The case of trial was that of Angelo
Herndon, a negro communist, hailing
from New York. Angelo was arrested and
tried in Atlanta on the charge of teaching
Communistic doctrines and distributihg
literature of this character. He was con
victed and a sentence of twenty years was
imposed by a judge in Fulton county Su
perior court. An appeal was taken from
the inferior court decision and carried to
the Supreme Court of Georgia, the verdict
of the lower court being affirmed. The
case was then appealed to the Supreme
Court of the United States which resulted
in the recent decision of a five to four
vote.
With that decision, the case is settled
and no further effort will be made to pre
vent Angelo from enjoying his freedom.
We do not criticise the findings of the Su
preme Court, but if Angelo follows the
policy he expressed in New York when
the verdict was announced, he may meet
with serious trouble. He stated that he
expected to return to Atlanta and con
tinue the campaign of Communism
throughout the South. Should this negro
create another disturbance, he will be do
ing his race more harm than good. Now
that he hag been vindicated of the charge
on the grounds that the Georgia anti-sedi
tion law was in violation of the Federal
Constitution, he should be satisfied with
the decision and keep himself free from
legal cutanglements in the future, o . .

DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO ‘U’
The oyster season ig over—
that is until September. April
being) the last of the “R-mon
ths,” the oyster can now go in
recluse without fear of being
disturbed.
It is said that the moaths of
May, June, July and August are
spawning season foi oysters, but
many of the fishermen say that
it is only @a custom of the Ameri
can people, and the only difference
is, the oyster loses some weight,
‘but none of its flavor. However,
to be informed on the custom, we
;undertook to rup down the legend
>and found that back in the early
\da.ys, the Romans were responsible
iror not eating oysterg except in
‘months. where the letter “R” ap
peared. A mnoted Roman philoso
pher is credited with being respon
sible for the “R” month, as oyster
season when he degrared: “Mensi
bug erratis vos ostrea manducatis,”
if you know what that means. We
did mnot, put in looking up the
phrase, we found the following
translation given in the parlance
of the street urchin: “Oysters
should be eat#n only in certain
months.,” There you have it but
do not check up on us, we might
be wrong.
Yesterday was a ‘“red letter”
day for many citizeng of Geor
gia—that is for ose who fail
ed ko make their tax returns
and #o purchask a tag for their
trucks, buses and trailers.
Under the provision of 5 tax law
enacted at the recent session of the
legislature, property owners fail
ing to make returns to the tax re
ceiver on or before the first of
May are penalized ten per cent
increase in the vafuation of their
property. Under this law, the
county tax officer has no disere
tion; the law is plain and obliga
tory and the penalty must be as
gsessed. Just how many of Athens
and Clarke coutny citizens failed
to make their returns, we are not
informed, but -up to Saturday
morning, the number of delinquents
was considerable, : .
Another law that has caused
much confusion, s the pew tax
imposed on trucks, busses and
trailers, in the way of a mainten
ance tag. This extra tax has been
confusing for the reason that mani’
owners and operators felt that
when they bpurchased tags, they
were relleved of further taxes, but
such is not the case. The main
tenance tax is additional, and those
who failed to puronase these tags,
not later than yesterday, May 1,
will be subject to a penalty,

Yesterday: Joan and Bob
discuss marriage plans and
Joan is disturbed when Bob
leaves for California on a
mining stock investigation.
CHAPTER Vil.
Later, they discussed it over a
late luncheon at the Green Hills
Inn. They had driven out from
town together in order that Bob
might pack his things and be
rgady to leave for the airport at
SiX.
Seated side by side, at a corner
table in the small dining room,
they lingered over their coffee.
Beyond their table Ilogs burned
brightly in an open fireplace, and
the ‘air was filled with the sweet
odor of prine.
“Just when we had everything
practically settled,” Bob said
gloomily, “this had to come up. I
had no idea he ‘would ask me to
go. Usually he looks into all new
properties himself.”
“You couldn’t let him down,
dear,” Joan answered reassuring
ly. “He has had a bad cold. I
think, too, that he's getting rather
old for these exhausting Jjaunts
into the mountains., He needs a
capable assistant. Have you
thought what a tremendous trib
ute he's paying te your judgment
by letting you go in his place.”
“] did, naturally,” Bob admitted,
brightening. “It's a big responsi
bility, and I'm pleased that he
trusts me with it.”
Joan looked up at him proudly.
“There's none in the organization
in whom he has fore faith,” she
said staunchly. “He's building ycu
up to something bigger than sales
manager, Bob.”
ens have endured this condition,
but now that it is to be paved, a
general rejoicing ig felt through-
Jout the community. This im
provement is one in which every
family in Athens is interested, in
that some member of their fami
lies may be called away at any
time, :
Another important matter
that is scheduled to come [be
fore the meeting of the mayor
and council Wednesaay evening
is the petition to change the
name of Bloomfield street.
j However, since it has become
known that the street was named
for one of this citys ploneer citi
'gzens and builders it js belleved
lthat the petitione.w will withdraw
their request. Such action would
be the proper spirit to show, es
peclally, in view of the fact that
no good purpose could be served
by changing the name. For years,
this street has been known as
Bloomfield gtreat and to change to
some other name, it would cause
much confusion for citizens to lo
catg the homes of those who reside
on this established and officially
named street. Regardless of the
number of residents on this street
who may have signed the petition,
it does mnot justify n change of
W there was gome ma-
He patted her hand tenderly.
“Thanks, sweetheart. 1 hope 1
can fit the job., I'd hate to fail
him, ever.”
One by one the other diners left
their tables, and soon Bob and
Joan were the only couple re
maining in the room.
Bob turned to Joan and asked:
“Will you marry me, dear, as soon
as I get back ”
Only for a second did she hesi
tate. Then: "
“Yes, Bob, I will,” she teld him
quietly. “Whenever you say.”
Under the' tablecloth, his hand
tightened over hers.
“l suppose we could be married
today—and honeymoon in Cali
fornia.”
“No—not there!” Jcan cried
guickly, too quickly.
Bob looked at her curiously.
“Why not. California’s a beautiful
place. However, a mining camp
is hardly the best spot in the
world to take a bride.” He grin
ned. “I'd have a worse time out
tfi\l'e trying' to keep you to my
self than I did here the other
night.”
Joan breathed easier. ‘“Where
is‘the mine?”’ she asked conver
sationally.
“About 60 miles east of Sacra
mento. Forty miles from the
nearest railroad station.”
“Is it so urgent that you go
right away?”
He nodded. “So it seems. The
Bella Tedra—that's the mine—is
being offered at a sacrifice now.
If the owners hold on te it until
spring, the price will be doubled.
Confidentially, if it's as good as
they elaim, I wonder why they're
rushing us into such a quick sale.
It sounds fishy somewhere.
Joan looked up in quick sur
prise. “Surely Mr. Hendry would
realize that,” she said. |
“Apparently he doesn’t., Thg
fellow Norton—the one who is
promoting the sale—is an old
friend, and Hendry believes in
him.”
“Dofi't you?”
“Not particularly.’
“Why not? Do you know him?”
.“I met him when he was east
abgut four years ago, and—well,
he's just one of those people 1
don’t like. However, I may be
all wrong.” He blew a smoke
ring toward the fire, dismissing
Mr, Norton with it.
Presently, with less serious
ness, he suggested: “Suppose we
forget the Bella Terra, my dar
ling, and g¢onsider the future Mr.
and Mrs. gndrews.”
Joan smiled ‘wistfully, “Mrs.
Andrews,” she murmured, “It
sounds so-—so safe.”
Unconsciously they drew closer
to each other. The coffee in their
cups grew cold, but they did not
realize it. In the fireplace, the
logs crackled with promise, and
the flames drew bright pictures of
the future. :
They did not notice as a smart
green roadster drew up alongside
the Inn and parked at the curb
outside the dining reom. But the
girl driving caught sight of them
as she gianced through the win
dowfi and her dark eyes narrowed,
For a brief moment she watched
them, then suddenly her face
lighted :as a brilliant idea occurred
to her. She got out of the car
and entered the Inn.
A moment later Bob looked up
and saw Sybil Hendry enter the
dining room. She ‘walked toward
them, apparently with the inten
tion of taking the next table,
Then, carelessly ’ralslng her eyes
she saw them. i o
“Hello, Sybil” PRob greeted

Clarke and Surrounding Counties Ad\q;t:]:]
Management Plan for Farm Loan Associat;
National farm loan associations
in Clarke, Elbert, Lincoln, Ogle
thorpe and Wilkes counties have
adopted a joint management plan
whereby these associations will
employ jointly the services of a
full time secretary-treasurer with
headquarters in Washington, Ga.
The plan becomes effective May 1
and S, C. Bleckley has been named
to the post. ‘ ey
The associations which have en
tered into the joint management
plan are the Clarke County Na
tional Farm Loan Association op
erating in Clarke county, the El<
berton Association operating in El
bert county, the Lincoln Association
operating in Lincoln county, thd
Oglethorpe Association, operating
in Oglethorpe county and the
Wilk es County Association, oper=
taing in Wilkes county. i
Each of the associations retains
its separate identy and there will
be no change whatever in relation
ship to its members. Heretofore
brows in surprise. “It is nice to
see you. And Miss Barrett! How
are you?” .
Bob jumped up and pulled an
extra chair to the table for her.
“Why not join us, Sybil?” he sug
gested pleasantly. “We've just
finished our lunch—"
“Oh, I've had lunch, thank you.”
She sat down with them, never--
theless. “I just stopped in for a
cup of chocolate — it's so chilly
driving.” il
Bob signaled the waiter and
Sybil gave the order.
“] just talked ‘to Uncle John
on the phone,” sheé remarked. “He
tells me that you’re going in his
place, Bob.”
“Yes. He asked me to go this
morning.” :
“Sybil looked at Joan and smiled
disarmingly. “That is unfortunate
for you, Miss Barrett. Won't you
be lonely?”
“Oh, no!” Joan replied thought
lessly. “I have so many things to
do 0.”
Bob laughed. ‘“She doesn’'t flat
ter me exactly, does she?”
“I mean—" Joan flushed uneas
ily. Suddenly it seemed as if the
charm of the afternoon were lost.
She felt vaguely uncemfortable in
Sybil Hendry's presence. The girl
was so utterly perfect, so sure
of herself.
“You're leaving this evening
Sybil asked Bob. :
“Yes. Seven o'clock from New
ark airport.” : :
Sybil looked at Joan sympathet
ically. “That is sudden, isn't it
Uncle John might have permitted
vou the week-end together. Miss
Barrett—or do you mind if I call
you Joan ”
“I should love it.” .
“Joan, then.” Sybil smiled gra
ciously. “Why don’t you spend
the ‘week-end with me My bro
ther is out of town for a while
and I shall be all alone, too.”
“rhank you, Miss Hendry—"
“Do call me Sybil.”
Joan smiled her acknowledg
ment of the charming patronage.
“It is nice of you, sSybil,” she
said, “to want me. “But,” and she
lied deliberately, “I did plan te
be with some friends on Long
Island.”
As a matter of fact, Joan was a
little taken back at Sybil's sudden
friendliness. It could not be en
tirely sincere. ‘Whenever Sybil
had stopped in at the office, she
had never acknowledged Joamlw
presence by more than a slight
nod. In all probability, Mr. Hen
dry had prompted this invitation;
if so, there was no need to em
barrass Sybil by accepting it,
“Oh, 1 am disappointed,” Sybil
said. She hesitated a moment,
then asked brightly: “Will you
have tea with me then—some aft
ernoon next week?”
“I should be delighted.”
“Shall we say Wednesday? Tl'll
ask some of our neighbors to
come. You 'will want to know
them eventually. That is, if you
intend to remain in Green Hills.
Do you, Bob?”
“I hope to, I've had the very
spot for a house picked out for
months. It's nice of you to do
this for Joan, Sybil.”
“Not' at all. We're going to be
friends, 1 know. And now—" She
finished her c¢hocolate and rose,
“I really must run along. I prom
ised to see Uncle John. Goodby,
Bob, Good luck on your trip.
Goodby, Joan—until Wednesday!"
As they watched her drive off,
Joan said to Bob:
‘“‘You know 1 lied about my
week-end on Long Island?”
“I thought so. Why?"
“I don't know. For some rea
son, I'm Jjust a little afraid of
Sybil. 1 wasn't quite sure why
she asked me. It seeined as if
Mr. Hendry might have suggest
e 11" ’
“Maybe he did,” Bob (agreed.
“But Sybil was sincere enough. 1
understand how you feel, though.
I've always been a little afraid
of her myself. She’'s so coldly cor
rect. . . . However, she has been
a very good friend to me, whether
her uncle suggested it or not.
Whatever social sueccess I've had
here in Green Hills, I owe to her,
She launched me, so to speak.
It's helped me to many a good
contract in business, too. She's
really a fine girl, Joan. I know
yowll like her when you know
her better.”
“Of course.” :
Nevertheless, Joan felt that she
could never feel a genuine friead
ship for Sybil Hendry. She felt
strangely apprehiensive, too, about
the tea on Wednesday, although
she did not know why. Neither
did she know that she was going
to look back on that afternoon
forever and realize that Sybil's
tea marked the beginning of all
her unhappiness. . b
