FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AUGUST 22, 1924 1 Jeanette Kling Re-United With u a Father After 21 Years Separation Girl Reared in ‘Big City’ Is Lonesome at bpnngwater Home and Yearns After Excitement of City By ALEXANDER HERMAN SPRINGWATER, N. Y., Aug. 22. —Reunited with her parents af ter a 21-year separation. Jeanette Kling, 23, thought she found hap- P I por years she had been dream ing abput wealth, comforts, father and nether. Now all were her?.. Where once she had to worry about getting a job, now she had only to think about the automobile she wanted. No longer did she have to wait on the whims of oth ers; now there were maids to serve her. Instead of the chill of the stranger, she now had the warmth of a father and mother t j comfort her. g Yet her happiness is fact waning She is ready to cast it all aside, and revert to her former life of toil and loneliness just— To answer, the cal of the city! Miss Kling had been neared in New York City, Newark, N. J., and suburds. After a hard day's work she found pleasure ■ in the crowded streets, the theaters, the large shops. They became part of her very life. There was no family group to cally to the clan the large lovely populace that makes the city. For the past 21 years the girl thought herselefe an orphan. Through a trick of fate, she had been placed in an orphanage at Rochester, N. Y., when she was two. Eventually came her adop tion by a New York family. When she was 17 she left her foster-par went to Newark and began earning her own living. Two years ago she became ill. Miss Harriet Pierce, social service director in Orange, N. J., where the girl was living, began an inves tigation. In time she traced Ed ward M. Kling at Geneseo, N. Y. He was wealthy. He wanted his daughter back, sent for her, and be gan to make up for the suffering years by plying the girl with ev ery comfort at the home here. But Springwater is a jerk-water village without even a regular Main street. It even isn’t repre sented 'by a dot on the railroad map. As soon as the first glamour of her new surroundings began to wear off, Miss Kling started to have new dreads. ‘.‘Up here it’s land, land and more land,” she wrote to Miss Pierce. “I’m overwhelmed with joy at being reunited with pa, but, gee, it’s not like it is down your way. “Pou’d scarcely believe there >s so much vacant land i nglorious U. S. A.” The battle between final love and devotion, intensified by years of separation, and the urge to get back to her old environment goes on within the girl. Her old friends are advising her to hold on a little longer. In time, perhaps, will come acclimation. But the hankering to desert tha chickens, pigs and hay for trolleys, crowds and subways, seems to be increasing. Clothes, which were to have been forwarded to the country by her old tailor, are being held in the city at the girl’s request. Each letter she sends to her friends grows more plaintive. The call of the city seems to be growing stronger than the call of the wild.

HUNT WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Par tisan-minded persops, who feel the urge to demonstrate their loyalty by naming their masculine prog’eny utter the j residential candidate cf their favor<. 1 party, place a heav’y handicap cn their offspring. To begin with, should the candi date for whom the child is named be •be winner in the campaign, a mark of achievement is at once established for the name which the namesake can hardly expect to equal. No matter what his accomplish ments may be, alongside those of his neighbors and average citizens, he is not measured by these stand ards but by the standard of the illustrious personage whose name he bears. Sirtflterly—and this year there is a two-to-one chance that such will be the case—should the candidate for whom a given youngster is named be defeated, the child is at once hampered by bearing the name of one“who couldn’t make the grade. Psychologically, such a situation is bad for the child, psychoana lytical experts maintain. So if any of your friends are toy ing with the thought of naming children “Calvin Coolidge Jones,” or “Bob La Follette Brown,” or “John Davis Smith,” give them a warning. Tell them “Don’t.” Give the youngsters a chance to develop their own personality; don’t start them off with even a nominal han dicap. There’s another reason, too, why love, reborn after a score of years may not be able to check it. parents shouldn’t hang politically chosen monikers on their progeny. Politically, the younger genera tions are more liberal-minded than their fathers. Boys aren’t voting the ticket straight any more just because dad did it that way. The son of a good Republican father, for instance, when he reeaches 21, may feel impelled to vote the Democratic ticket, if Democrats are still with us in 1946. Imagine his chagrin, then when he goes to the Democratic primaries to register and has to give his name as “Calvin Cool idge !” That such is not an extreme stretch of the imagination is evi dence by the cas of Lincoln Dix on, former congressman from Indi ana, now a right-hand assistant of Chairman Shaver at Democratic na tional headquarters. Dixon was born in ’6O, the year of Abraham Lincoln’s first cam paign. Naturally his father expected him to grow up a devout Republic an. With his name, such an out come must then have seemed in evitable. Instead, however, Lincoln is found in the very center of the Democratic stronghold, not merely lending aid and comfort but active ly assisting those plotting the de feat next November of “the party of Lincoln.” To such paradoxes do political patronymics lead! From all the hullabaloo attend ing the “notifications” of Presi dent Coolidge and John W. Davis that they had been nominated for president by the Republican and Democratic parties, respectively-, a visitor from Mars might properly conclude that they were wholly out of touch with current comment and never read the newspapers. If it does nothing else, the La Follette Independent candidacy may be worth while if it demon strates that a candidate may know about his candidacy without tiie fuming formalities of an “official” notification. When officials of the Conference for Progressive Political Action, which nominated La Follette, were discussing what to do about a notification, Bob sent them word: You don t have to notify me. 1 ve read about it in the newspa pers.” SPECIALS Saturday Only Chuck and Seven Bone J C Roast, per pound IOC Chuck and Seven Bone 1 71/ t* Steak per pound ’ /2C Dressed Fryers per .pound WWiW' IN ROGERS STORE THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER 1 --ROGERS-- Oc/c toMark&l Rogers’ Mayonnaise YJ Y K* Fresh Shipment Reduced; fresh daily; I Angel 9C p 8-Ounce 20c ivJ s Food Cakes . iL gs.’r wk ’ Package lUC Vanilla Wafers OA p / Celery, well bleach- Pound .. tiVv ed, large ICq 10 Pounds Extra Large 90/» ——- bunches, Sat.
