If, under the stress of conditions; if, under the flimsy excuse bf giving employment to more men, that more good farm hands may be induced to come to Savannah and become laborers and Voters; if, city officials are to continue taking trip* over the country at the expense of the taxpayers in search of more mdney to be spent on questionable improvements, when present projects have not been completed and it is stated that they are not em ploying a full complement of workers, why not turn our thoughts toward improvements that will be of lasting benefit to the en tire community, city and county? Why blind ourselves to what other communities are doing? JWhy fool the people with promises of building overpasses over railroad crossings that will not be constructed in the next five jor ten years ? Why did Mayor Gamble time his trip to Atlanta When the only people who could be of real influence were out of the city? Why piddle after small sums from hired hands when the proper thing to do is to go direct to headquarters—to Wash ington—and request such a sum as will insure a permanent, last ing, and much needed improvement for the benefit of all? There is not a citizen in Chatham county but that realizes the dangers of the present roadway to Tybee Island, its inade quacy to serve the traffic going over it, and the dire necessity of providing proper facilities for getting to and from the island. A good start has been made on President street. Why not work out a plan whereby this road may be continued on down to Wil mington river touching the edge of Greenwich, which the city has just added to its holdings; build a second bridge across the river giving access to Oatland Island, then across Whitmarsh Island coming out at a point about where the present road forks to Tybee and Wilmington. Such an improvement will be of inestimable value in open ing up one of the finest sections of Chatham county. It will ma terially shorten the distance to the entire section which it trav erses, and will pay for itself in taxes derived from increased valuations. From the point where it joins the present Tybee road, this road may be, ap it must be, widened and raised beyond the dangers of flood waters or spring tides. There is every reason why the city arid county officials should join hands to bring about a consumation of plans, arrive at costs, and then combine their efforts to get the required funds. Miles saved to Uncle Sam from a military point of view is also worth considering, not to men tion the miles saved to the citizens of Savannah, Savannah Beach and Chatham county. TRADING IN SAVANNAH The Savannah Daily Times has been very outspoken in its ef forts to impress upon the people of Savannah the great benefits to be derived by all in, so far as possible, trading at home. Loyalty to one’s hoqge town, patronizing the home merchant, and giving a decided preference to the products manufactured in Savannah— by Savannahians. This is a sure index to the spirit of a com muity. And it is this spirit that leads to progress and prosperity. No city need expect to grow where such a stimulus is lacking. That the Savannah Daily Times is largely due the credit for forcing the administration to publish a new code for the City of Savannah compels us to commandt the bold stand of Aiderman Herbert Gibbons in raising the question, “Can al! the work be done in Savannah?” It not only can, but, should be insisted upon. |We have no interest in any of the parties bidding on the work. Our interest is, the good of the city in which we live. We have a number of firms splendidly equipped to do the work, printing and binding. They have their investment in machinery here; they pay licenses and taxes; employ skilled workmen to whom they pay union wages and no part of this job should be permitted to go out of the city where possibly scab labor may do a bad job for a few cents less. Keep this job in Savannah or let us know the reason why. LISTEN, FOLKS! -TO WILLIAM RITT— NOW THAT the inevitable ques tion of tho propriety of big league baseball broadcasts being networked to towns which have minor league memberships has brought a ban pro hibiting such widespread major league airings a lot of headaches have de veloped. But in a sense, the move may have eliminated a headache suffered by the magnates controlling major lea gue clubs. There really was no ans wer to the pioblem of networked broadcasts of their games for them — until the ban took place. The ban was the result of minor league club owners protesting that major league play-by-play broadcasts by local stations wat competition they shouldn't be, under strict interpreta tion of baseball, forced to meet. There is welcome gold in the sale of broadcast rights to games for the major moguls. But—ejery major lea gue owner will freely admit that the big time teams depend on the minors for new material and that the minors are an Invaluable training school for youngsters. So—since major league broadcasts localised ware adding another bur- en and a tough one to the struggles of minor teams to survive, the big tmle ball bosses could figure their radio activities as eventually reacting against the welfare of their teams in the matter of new material. Besides, a number of tig league teams, such os the St. Louis Cardinals, own num erous minor circuit teams which might be sufferers from radio com petition. Therefore, it is easy to visualize the big league magnates actually wel comnlg the ban against broadcasting their games through the smaller towns. The first presidential campaign in which “campaign songs” were intro duced, was in 1840, when the follow ers of Harrison and Tyler added much to the picturesqueness of the race by the singing of ditties compos ed for the occasion. In that cam paign, there was another departure —one, however, that lacked the last ing quality of the song feature—and this was the camp meetings at which the virtues of “Old Tippecanoe” and his running mate were lauded in song and sermo» • Life Story of Alfred M.

There seems to be no halfway affection for a cat; one eith er loves the'animal, or just can’t tol erate It in the house. The Shepard family, which resides on a farm in Pennsylvania, is one of the group of cat • lovers. But it wasn’t always so; at one time, Mr. Shepard hated cats, and Mrs. Shep ard couldn’t stand to have them around. That was before Plushie turned up. Plushie was a gray angora cat, and it was because of his thick, soft fur that he was called Plushie. Mr. Shep ard thought Plushie might have been a pedigreed animfal, but he never found out for sure, for he never knew where he came from or how he got there. Plushie just) turned up early one morning at the farmhouse. Mrs. Shepard was cooking breakfast, when she heard a crying meow outside the door. She opened the door and Plushie stalked in, as big as you please, without an invitation. Mrs. Shepard's first thought was to get the broom and shoo the intruder out of the house, but just then Junior, the Shepard’s four-year-old son, came into the kitchen. He saw the cat, and with a cry of joy went over to him. He petted Plushie and the cat brush caress. Then, despite his mother’s ed against the boy's leg in a loving protests, Junior fed his new friend and announced he was going to keep him.

SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 193« si til Hi, If I Hi' Landon quietly began solidify ing the party and thus be came the leading G. O. P. pow er in the state. In the mean time, in January, 1930, he wed for a second time—twelve years after the death of his first wife. His bride was Miss Theo Cobb of Topeka, Kas. Two children - were born, Nancy Josephine, in, 1933, and John Cobb, in 1934. Mother disliked cats, bub she did nod want to disappoint Junior. So sht decided bo let the cat stay for a while and thought they could get rid oi him later without Junior knowing anything about it.. But a little later that very same mofrnmg she changed her mind. * * * Junior had been in the habit ol teasing the chickens. And there was one old hen in particular that hs liked to tease. This old hen always got so angry when he pulled her tail leathers. That morning Junior went out to the barnyard and by his side trailed his new friend, Plushie. The chick ens were scratching in the dirt and Junior spied the old, fussy hen. He crept up and grabbed her by the tail and witb a loud and angry cackle s/he sprang away from him, minus a few feathers. Junior thought it was fun. He leaped after her and cornered her between the barn and a fence. This time the hen didn’t try to get away; she turned and faced her foe, pre pared to fight for her life. And, as Junior crouched over to pick her up, she flew at his face, and pecked a deep gash in it. Mother saw her son’s plight from the porch, but she was not near enough to help. As she ran toward him, she saw .. furry form fly at the enraged chicken before the hen could strike again. It was the new cat. The cat’s claws lashed wildly as the hen pecked at her new foe. Her beak found the animal's eye, but the cat fought on ferociously, his paws tearing feathers and ;kin from the chicken’s head. By the time Mrs. Shepard arrived it was about over. The hen backed away and attempted to flee, but after a few steps it fell dead in its tracks. Plushie lost an eye in that encoun ter, but he had won himself a home. And from that day on the Shepard family has loved cats. And who can blame them?

A. Bisson in Foreign Policy Bulletin. This portrayal of China’s struggle is worth reading, for the succinct and complete maimer in which it des cribes the situation. Mr. B f sson says: “The sudden elevation of Shigeru Kawagoe, former consul general at Tientsin who worked closely with the Kwantung army, to the post of am bassador at Nanking offers one more indication of the pressure steadily applied by Japan to reduce China to the status of a protectorate. This policy is officially formulated in the ‘three point’ program, elaborated by Premier Hlrota when he occupied the foreign ministry, which calls for re cognition of ‘Manchoukuo’ by Nank ing, suppression of anti-Japanese act ivities in China, and joint Sino-Jap ansese military action against com munism. * * • ENCROACHMENTS “As its main weapon in enforcing Nanking’s acceptance of the ‘three point’ program, Japan has dismantled and refashioned the political struc ture of north China. Unwillingness to risk an open military occupation led to the collapse of Major General Doihara’s ambitious five-province ‘autonomy’ scheme last November, bu tin Hopei and Chahar provinces Japanese domination has become nearly complete. “The former ‘demilitarized area’ in northern Hopei is now ruled by Yin Ju-keng’s puppet regime. With its capital at Tungchow, only twelve mllca from Peiping, this East Hopei Autonomous Anti-Communist Coun cil has been gradually assimilated to ‘Manchoukuo.’ Its armed force of about 15,000 troops is officered by Japanese, while several hundred Jap anese troops are also stationed at Tungchow. “A second body, the Hopei-Chahar Political Council, set up at Peiping last December under Japanese pres sure, occupies a much less clearly de fined position Its chairman is Gen eral Sung Cheh-yuan, who controls Jr — Although Franklin D. Roosevelt swept the nation, winning the presidency, Republican Landon won the governorship in Kan sas. Roosevelt carried the state by approximately 75,000. Lan don had a plurality of 5,600 over Governor Woodring, Demo crat, and Dr. John R. Brink- > ley, independent. To be continued the 29th army—a force of some 55,- 000 men. His council consists mainly > of a set of notoriously pro-Japanese i figures, including one or two mem bers of the former Anfu clikue. Sev eral Japanese advisers are attached to the council, but It also maintains direct connections with Nanking, from which it receive* a monthly subsidy said to total approximately one million yen. This ‘semi-auton omous’ pollltcal status Is matched by the undefined limits of its territorial control. “In Hopei the council exerts no influence ever 'tin Ju-keng’s ‘auton omous’ state. “In Chahar, the northern and east ern district are dominated by Gen eral L! Shou-hsin, also a Japanese puppet. The rest of Chahar is pre sumably undjr the jurisdiction of the Hopei-Ohs I. ar council, although Jap anese military missions at Kalgan and other cities are directing further advances In Charhar and Suiyuan provinces.’- . . . ♦ * ♦ ANTI-JAPANESE CHUSHED “Since December, 1935, a broad movement of resistance to Japanese aggresslo nhas developed among the Chinese people. Touched off by the student mass demonstrations, this movement has spread to college pro fesses and intellectuals, middle and primary school teachers, women’s or ganizations, newspaper reporters and editors, workers’ and farmers’ groups, and business organs. “At Peiping and Shanghai, these various groups have co-ordinaetd their activities in local National Libera tion associations, with an uncompro mising anti-Japanese program. The Peiping association's manifesto calls for the uniting, organizing and arm ing of the Chint-e people in a war against Japan, ,o be financed by con fiscation of Japanese properties in China. It demands complete freedom of assembly, speech and press, release of political prisoners, and an end to civil war. “Despite rumors that the Nanking regime is preparing to fight Japan, Chiang Kai-shek has taken vigorous steps to suppress the growing antl- Japancse movement, thus carrynig out one of the items in Hirota’s ‘three point’ program. “On Feb. 20 the Nanking govern ment issued an emergency law to cope with anti-Japanese activities. By this law, troops and police are em powered to use ‘foreq. or any other effective means to dissolve meetings and parade*, to suppress propaganda in the form of wriitngs, pictures or lectures, and to punish all persons who give shelter to violators of these provisions. Since the issuance of this edict, the Chinese police have raided the dormitories of Yenching and Tsinghua universities at Peiping, and Futan university at Shanghai, in or der to arrest the leaders of the stu dent organizations. At times the whole student body has resisted these arrests, suffering brutal clubbings from the police. “Publications issued by the Liber ation associations have also been sup pressed. Despite these measures, the studen. agitation continues, new per- are appearing, and the work of the associations Is gaining wider support.” COMMUNISTS GAIN “A tniid factor in the Chinese po litical situation is the emergence of communist armies in the northwest ern provinces, where their program of drastic land reform and establish ment of Soviets has gained wide pop ular support. ‘‘Eighteen months ago the main body of the Shinese communists be gan a long trek from Kiangsi prov ince, their old base, westward toward Szechuan. In the spring of 1935 this army effected a juncture in western Szechuan with the second largest communist army in China. After sev eral months’s rest, the combined forces moved north and defeated the main government army blocking an advance in to Kansu. “In the autumn of 1935, after this victory, the communist armies again divided. One force, under Chu Teh, moved back into western Szcehusn to consolidate a base in that area. The other force, under Mao Tsetung, marched north int oKansu and Shen si, where it joined local communist armies. Early in 1936, a section of these forces crossed the frozen Yellow river Into Shansi province, where It Is still operating. “Consolidation of this northwestern base would have two Important ef fects.
