If yesterday can be a barometer for the successful opening of Savannah next Saturday, then it is possible that this popular resort with its glistening stretches of white sand and rows of stately palm trees, will have perhaps its most glamorous (opening since its inception. The new parking facilities which have been improved vast ly over the winter months under the careful supervision of Chief Hildreth of the police force will have the added protection of additional policemen to enforce the needed regulations. A new 4 portion of the strand having already been opened, has served to •enhance the many natural features of the popular Georgia resort. • ‘lt is apparent that property owners everywhere have been busy throughout the off months, preparing for the influx of summer visitors who bring with them their many friends for the sole purpose of using the many recreational facilities of the is land. New homes, remodeled houses, new gardens and many other features dot the conservative landscape of Savannah Beach, and such activity on the part of the residents is deserving of the congratulations of the Savannah Daily Times. The.construction of the new jetties for the purpose of beach . conservation has added to the prospective home-builder who can kjiow see an investment which will be lasting and not temporary. F Becoming alarmed at the visual outlook of having their property | washed away by the relentless forces of the wind and the tide, the old property holders now prepare for lasting and construc- I tive building. The opening next Saturday which will be featured by a bevy Os events ranging from athletic contests to the parade of bathing beauties gracing the boardwalk, will usher in, what we hope, td be a successful summer season for Georgia’s leading recreation spot, and the Savannah Daily Times adds its good wishes for a season which will stand out in the hearts of those who have worked to make Savannah Beach what it is today. A SAVANNAHIAN LAUDED. Distinguished Visitor. Most Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara, D. D., J. U. D., bishop of Sa vannah, will pay an official visit Sunday to the Catholic churches of Atlanta, at which time he will give confirmation at Sacred Heart Church, and in the afternoon a reception will be tendered him in the ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel, where he will meet Catholic communicants of this city, as well as many of his non- Catholic friends. The diocese of Savannah embraces the entire state of Geor gia, thus making the distinguished prelate’s territory the larg est see east of the Mississippi river. At the time of his selection for the episcopacy there were in the archdiocese some 2,000 eli ible for the position, and the fact that Father Gerald Patrick O’Hara was selected for the honor out of this vast group, in which great ability and effective zeal were the rule rather than the exception, is most convincing evidence of his distinguished attainments. Bishop O’Hara comes from the archdiocese of Philadelphia, where he served as auxiliary to his eminence, Cardinal Dough erty, and where his kindly personality and ability won the friendship and regard of all who knew him. He will be graciously received by communicants of the Catholic church, leaders of the clergy and citizens of Atlanta. —Atlanta Constitution. NOT--In the News COPYRIGHT, CENTRA L PRESS ASSOCIATION By WORTH CHENEY (Central Press Association) We have heard about the soul kiss, M publicized by the movies, but we never knew till now that osculations •fe classified as to types by the film industry. There are, as a matter of fact, eight distinct types, and, on looking them over, we can Imagine that any husband might be capable of execut ing all eight. See if you think so- The soul kiss also is known as the HeaM-in-Throat embrace. This type should not require description. It is the type that leaves the klssee com pletely mastered, overwhelmed and hklf-dizzy. The next type is the Gotta-Go-Now kiss. You perhaps recognize it as the old-fashioned Peck, the kind you throw but still establish contact. (This variety is responsible for many brok en teeth, swollen lips, bloody noses, blick eyes, etc.) The Take-That-’nd-Llke-It kiss is thfc result when the kisser is in a very masculine and confident mood, aa if he were really the master of his own . home. This kind of kl-s, and there's usually just one (to show who’s boss!) might develop from a meeting of the Equal Rights for Op presa.’d Husbands league. • • Closely skin to that variety is the t-Could Do-Better kiss. Verfy often this kiss is executed after kisser and tisse- have teen to see Clark Gable ind Jean Harlow in the movies. Party It the first part, of coune, doesn't like to demonstrate his expertness for fear he’ll destroy some I'lusion of party of second part for Clark Gable. So he just gives a hint he coud do better but doesn’t want to. The I Surrender kiss is mainly for wives. It comes in handy while lead ing up t oa suggestion that you need a r.ew coat. You just melt in kisser’s arms and register complete submis sion. If property executed the coat is a cinch and there's a possibility for a new hat, too. Very few people are able to achieve any great degree of genuineness in an Oh-May! or Gee-Whiz! kiss. The reason is that the participants must have the enthusiasm of a six-year old boy at his first fire. To accom plish neatly, the participants must be completely naive, unsophisticated and moronic. Os course, we admit you might get away with it for a while after marriage—but no for long! • ♦ JI Not-Fair is a tjpe of kiss that is purely masquerade. That’s because all's fair in love and war, or so they say. This kiss is performed when the klssee is unable to protect and de fend hersell, such as when she has hep- hands in the wash tub. She has te “Now quit!”’ response in er lips, but, of course, she doesn’t mean it.

My New York By James Aswell (Copyright, 1936, Central Press As sociation NEW YORK, May 25.—J oh n Charles Thomas wins mj’ vote in his feud with the Federal Radio Commis sion over his sign-off at the end of his warbling programs: "Good night, Mother.” The commission, it seems, construes these words as personal communication, which is banned on the air. The columnists are forever insert ing asides and specific objurations in their copy, so I see no reason why Mr. Thomas, after a hard period of caroling, shouldn’t be permitted to tell his mother goodnight, if she's still listening. Yet the practice might lead to some dismaying program sign-offs if all the bars were down. Bing Crosby, who owns race horses on the side, could conceivably finish a soulful ditty and add matter-of factly, “Hey, Dixie, will you get an other hundred down on Cross Play for me before track time?” Or it is imaginable that the Voice of Experi ence would conclude his mellow preachments with: “Don't worry, mom, or wait up for me. I’ve got a lodge meeting but I have my own key and everything is okay.” • * • Applicant# for motor vehicle op erators’ permits in this great cos mopolitan city daily produce some humdingers on their application blank:, according to an observer who is charged with the duty of filing and stamping them. The question which seems to give most of the would-be Sunday drivers the most trouble is a simple one. It reads: Color? A good percentage of the car-owners seem to believe the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles is in terested in the color of the car. It is nothing unusual to see this query answered by "Mauve” or "Rasp berry” or "Luggage Tan” or "Bright Yellow.’ One gentleman put down “Black with Maroon Striping.” Lillian Greneker, wife of the re doubtable Claude, whose duty it is to sin gthe praises of various Shubert shows, including “The Follies,” is a veteran inventor with many gay cre ations to her credit. Her newest is a mannequin for store windows made entirety of that crinkly transparent stuff that comes around packages of cigarettes. Her contention is that the more striking the mannequin, the less attention the frock gets; and I suppose this is true, at least where the inanimate mannequins are con cerned. The wonder is how she gets her translucent clothes horses to stand up.

O. P. THINKING By LESLIE EICHEL Central Press Staif Writer REPUBLICANS are busy thinking up a means of counteracting the U. S. supreme court’s decision nullifying the Guffey coal act. The decision was more damaging to the Republicans than to the New Deal. In fact, word no wis going around —in Republican circles—that it is the supreme court which is “saving” President Roose velt from “the consequences of the New Deal.” It is ranging him, fur thermore, on the side of the "under dog.” The chief worry of the Republicans is Pennsylvania. The adverse decision on the Guffey coal act is reputed to have solidified the workers of Penn sylvania for the Democrats. The Re publicans cannot hope to win the na tional election without Pennsylvania. • • • BUSINESS ALARMED In reality, these anti-New Deal de cisions of the suprreme court do not affect workers as much as business. That is a new view In Wall Street. Workers organize an dwin anyway (according to the Wall Street view). But when permissive price fixing or ganizations—such as the New Deal alphabet agencies realty have been —are declared unconstitutional then there is fear that price-cutting will undermine business. That, of course ,is the fear in the coal industry. Capitalism would fall quickly if the old dog-eat-dog method were to be indulged in generally. Collectivism in business—Wall Street shudders at that interpretation—is sought more than outsiders or business itself rea lizes. • * • FORCING ISSUE The Roosevelt administration evi dently is not pleased that the su preme court or the constitution be comes an issue. It would rather win workers and votes on some other ground.—for it is eager to win the votes of businessmen, too. But workers and liberals and farm ers are forcing the issue on the ad ministration. • « • NEW PARTY—WHEN? . Talk has been drifting through Washington and New York that a Farmer-Labor party will be ready for the field hr 1940. It hopes to absorb progressive Democrats and progres sive Republicans. It hopes to make the amending of the constitution and the curbing of the supreme court an issue. It be lieves that would be popular. It hopes to displace the Democrats as the party opposite the Republicans by 1944. • * • PRICE CUTTING Industries which Wall Street .reports as having suffered already from price cutting are soap, alcohol, solvents, and other food substitutes. ODDS LESSENING Odds on the re-election of President Roosevelt are lessening in Wall Street. —WASHINGTON AT A GLANCE— LANDON NOMINATION Despite the Fact He’s Odds-On Favorite IS NOT A CINCH BET By CHARLES P STEWART (Central Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON. May 25—While Gov Alf M Landon of Kansas cer tainty is away ahead as a Republican presidential possibility (maybe even as a probability), he hasn’t the air tight cinch on the nomination that some folk seem to think On the first ballot at the Cleveland convention he will have more votes than any other single candidate but he will not have a majority-over-all. He will have to scop in the neces sary majority from the supporters of other candidates, on the second or third ballot, in order to win The odds are tha the will succeed in do ing it, but they are not very heavy odds If he fails to win by the third bal lot, it will mean that there is a de liberate combination against him. That, in turn, will mean a deadlock And a deadlock will mean that a compromise selection will have to be made In that event the lightning is quite likely to strike someone whose name has not been mentioned at all • • • Possible Combination In the first place ex-President Hoover is dead agai’ist the Kansan.

I mean we all turned around and looked at a man and a woman stand ing in our midst . . . We did it be cause of something the woman said to the man . . . She was a thin lit tle woman with a sharp chin. He was a great big fellow, very fat, with a moon-face . . . She had just shouted at him, and her face was very red: "If you say another word about it to me, I’ll slap your face!” We all heard her. We couldn’t help it. We all turned around, because we couldn’t help that, either. . . . We looked ab them, at the angry woman, at the stout man with the face alter nating white and red . . . and no body laughed! ... It was much too serious a situation for that. You could tell they were married. I don’t know how you could tell it, but you knew that was so. . . . You couldn’t tell what was wrong, but quite obviously he had done some thing or wanted to do something and she didn’t like it and didn’t want to talk about it and suddenly she burst out at him right in the midrt of that crowd. None of us said anything for a few seconds, and then a buzz of comment ran all around and in and out of the crowd. . . .' And one little man said to the man next to. him, almost loud enough for everybody to hear: “Any woman whp wUI do that to a man, is a doggone COWARD. If I were in his place—” I don’t know what he would have done if he HAD been in that man's place. ... I know abput that. None of us knew. ...
