THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1340 ■ 1 . !,^ u Strange Facts ! Roving Banks Prison Board Bill Odd Sugar Sources C. About a century ago when some states allowed banks to move from town to town at will, many went into hiding so their notes could not be presented for redemption in gold. One of them, the Bank of Morocco, was found by detectives, after a year’s search, in a cabin in a dense In diana forest. General HUGH s. JOHNSON C, Although Michigan enacted a law in 1935 requiring prisoners who are financially able to pay for their maintenance (about a dollar a day) the state has only been able to collect this payment from two of the approximate 20,000 per sons who have passed in and out of its prisons during this time. Kathleen Norris Says: Any Woman Can Learn the Secret (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.) C. One of the strangest cases of human albinism occurred in Afri ca some years ago. A Negro cou ple had three white and three black children, born in the follow ing order—two consecutive black boys, two consecutive white girls, one black girl and one white boy. C.

Some of my columnar war crying colleagues say that American indus try ought to be put on a war basis right now. Their argument is that one reason why France fell was that, under a peace structure, she could not mobilize her industry for war production, had to declare war to pep up the nation and did it all leisurely and far too late. They say also that “business as usual’’ kept England from getting ready soon enough and, finally, they point to the snail-like slowness of our pres ent rearmament program. With all that about France, Eng land and our slow progress, I agree. Perhaps I could agree also with the conclusion about putting our indus try on a “war basis,” if I knew what the words mean—or if they did. Of that I am in doubt. If it means that American indus try should now be put under indus trial amateurs, I know of no more certain way to slow or even para lyze war production. If it means that we should get some dynamic and experienced leadership of the industrial war effort and give it ap propriate authority, no comment was ever more significant—or more correct. That kind of leadership and ad ministration would not, however, as some of this comment suggests, be obliged just to set all peace-time production aside in a kind of ad journment to make way for our war needs. There is plenty of industrial capacity in this country for both needs. Our industry needs an orchestra leader with a real baton who can keep it in harmony and rhythm for the new tune—but it doesn’t need to be chained to the benches of any slave galley with a sort of roman- ized Simon Legree to increase the stroke with a cat-o’-nine-tails. • • • Our trivial World war experience may be informing. Our speedup of shipbuilding, both of merchant and warcraft, approached the miracu lous. Charlie Schwab had charge of part of it. In a plant where al Iparts of a fabricated ship were being as sembled and the engine department was far ahead of the co-ordinated schedule for it and other depart ments, he took time out for a short picnic for the workers in the yards. There were no speeches but. when the time for them came, Charlie pulled a surprise—the complete en gine, mounted on truck wheels, gay with flags and preceded by a band came rolling out under a large transparency which read, “All dressed up and no place to go.” That plant speeded up production imme diately. Of course, we can’t do this job with ballyhoo, but ballyhoo is part of it. We need every incentive and pressure of “go-get-it,” unified, ex perienced and inspired leadership to get speed without confusion and waste. We have one of this kind of leadership, only political leadership which insists on retaining personal ized control of everything. ... REARMAMENT Is the rearmament program pro ceeding rapidly? Sidney Hillman of the national defease advisory commission “advises that no manu facturer who violates the labor laws can be ‘awarded’ a contract for work on the defense program and that the National Labor Relations board will decide, for this purpose, whether or not an employer is ‘vio lating.’ ” There are now only two members of NLRB, Leiserson and Smith. The term of Chairman Madden has ex pired. Due to protests based on charges of his bias and unfairness the President has not reappointed him. The vacancy has existed for weeks. Some observers guess that the President wants to wait until after the election and then reappoint Madden. Smith and Leiserson agree on very few disputed points. Smith is an extreme left-winger—like Mad den. Leiserson is middle of-the- road. What they can’t agree on is put on ice until appointment of a third member with the deciding vote. Over in the selective service draft system, although the new organiza tion is under way, no administrator has been appointed. Some myste rious inner pressures—probably the senile war-minded Stimson—pre vented a solution of this problem which was perfection—the experi enced and judicious veteran of the | World war draft, Gullion, for ad ministrator—the young, expert and vigorous Hershey as its chief execu- j tive. Either alone would have been satisfactory. The team couldn’t i have been bettered. As in NLRB, no responsible head j has been appointed. Hershey has | been “detailed” to go through in an “acting” capacity. In the name of mere mediocrity, why? The big job in the draft is the beginning—setting up the selec tive service system and selling it to the people. That requires experi ence, expertness—even genius. Aft er that it is a routine mechanical job. This beginning also requires some prestige or position in the ad ministrator. It certainly requires unquestioned authority and full re sponsibility. SECRET OF HAPPINESS Glory and fame appear to make some women intensely happy, but Kathleen Norris points out that this happiness is shortAived. She believes that a woman can find genuine, lasting content only in her own sold. Miss Norris advises women to live a normal life and develop natural interests; then they’ll be far happier than the lone some heiress who is surrounded by a lot of parasitic playmates. Catner-3 snapping in her face wherever she goes are not reality. She loves them, of course, and when they stop she suffers agonies of jealousy. No matter how young, beautiful, rich, successful a woman is, sooner or later she has to find content where YOU find it. In her own soul. By KATHLEEN NORRIS B E A contented woman. So few women are content! This advice is not for the thirties. Not for the forties. These years are full of hope and changes and potentialities and excitements. The most thor oughly disappointed and bored and disillusioned wife of 34 may still feel that a complete change of circumstances may take place any day. Jim might get a promotion with a big raise. Or some un suspected uncle might, leave them a tidy fortune. Ur they might have to move to Rio, on 10 days notice. Or the talent scouts might seize upon the baby, who is 10 times as fascinating as any baby star on the screen. Life holds thrills. A new hat—a new hair-do, is a thrill. Just meet ing a courteous new man is a thrill. To have someone suggest a delight ful job opens up new trains of thought. A hundred a month, and a summer vacation free, for just being hostess at a big mountain hotel. A New Cycle Begins. All this ends at about 45. No use fooling about it, it comes to an end. No mor» men are going to fall in love with you. No new hat is going to do for you what that $1.98 hat did 20 years ago. Jim isn’t go ing to be raised, promoted, sent to an exciting post. He’s there, stout and middle-aged and comfortable and quite satisfied to go on living. The children have passed the ab sorbing and dependent stages; they need teeth bands and corrective shoes and plenty of school help, but there is little in that to satisfy the woman who has been dreaming all her life of achievements, of fame, wealth, glory, success. If you are one of those women, harness your dreams. Or better still, wake up and try to appreciate one important fact. This is the fact. No matter how young, beautiful, rich, successful a woman is, sooner or later she has to find content exactly where you can find it. In her own soul. What Price Fame. Of course she likes the excitement of success, the flattery of her public, the brief, brief hours in which her fame eclipses that of the next ex quisitely pretty and captivating woman. But those things last only hours or days, or months at most, and then the gnawing inner hunger for reality begins to fret her. Holly wood sets are not reality; cameras snapping in her face wherever she goes are not reality. She loves them, of course, and when they stop, when she is only yesterday’s favor ite, she suffers agonies of jealousy. And she knows all along that they are not real. She puts on a $40 apron and cooks in a picture-book kitchen. She adopts a baby, and is photographed with it. And all the time she is blindly reaching out for—what you have; a man who needs her, a kitch en in which she is queen; a small person to come stumbling to Moth er. At 40 she has nothing left. The booking agencies in New York, the casting offices of Hollywood are filled with unemployed, wistful wom en who were stars a few years ago. Their sugar-frosting dream is over. The bubble has burst. And then, unless they have something very real with which to go on; family ties, the right to love and service, they are dreary derelicts for life. The lives of very few elderly actresses are lifted out of tragedy. Content Is Secret of Happiness. Even highly successful profession al women don’t go on to happy mid dle life unless they’ve discovered the secret of content. Too often young fame distracts them from the natural course of marriage and motherhood, and they find glory and money rather poor pickings in the end. And the merely rich women! The glamour girls who have done nothing to earn their luxury and power, their yachts and Palm Beach mansions, their furs and jewels—what a sad mess THEY make of it! Within a few years of the time when you went around all morning wishing you were in Gloria Millions place, Gloria is haggardly facing a second divorce, supporting a flatter ing circle of titled European hang ers-on, and telling the whole world that she will fight for the custody of her child. Whereas you, if you’ve played your cards wisely, are the adored mother of two brown tall Indians of children who are dancing about bepause it’s Saturday, and Mom is taking Jim and Mary and the Sim mons children off to the beach for the day. Or you’re absorbed in your gar den; there’s no heartache cure like a garden. You’ve decided to have supper out-of-doors. You’re trying for a prize contest on the air. Your Persian aristocrat has produced three delicious kittens. The baby next door has been loaned to you for his noon Pabulum and his after noon nap. Jim is, thank goodness, going to be free for a three-day week-end next Friday. Mary is in first year French and it’s perfectly amazing how your old grammar and you can help her. You’ve got to consider both sides of moving to that possible farm. Chickens and fruit and quiet and space against the commuting trip for Jim—. All Possess Materials for Happiness. In short, you’ve mastered content. You’ve learned that to each one of us women in this life is meted out the materials for happiness; it is only our wisdom or stupidity in han dling them that makes the differ ence. The successful writer, actress, heiress of course MAY be happy. But she has to be happy on exactly the same terms that are available to you." She has to have love, and a chance for service, and books and appetite and deep sleep. And often these are all sacrificed before she has discovered how per ishable is fame, how brief is youth, how little money can buy! While you are climbing up the scale to the forties and fifties, she is descend ing to depths that you never knew. Face-lifting and cocktails and mem ories of past splendors don’t help her; nobody remembers and nobody cares. Develop what you have. The chil dren, the back yard, the possible picnic and camping sites within reach, the libraries, the swimming beaches. Develop hobbies, activi ties, interests. They don’t spring into being full-grown. But you will be pleasantly surprised to see how fascinating they can become. Develop Jim, too. As you grow to be a contented middle-aged and someday old woman, take him along with you. Make the fifties happy years, and the sixties even better. The woman who does that will soon find herself in a position to pity the very stars and glamour girls and celebrities that she is envying today. And most important of all, develop yourself. Try to achieve that peace of mind which can only follow from a life well lived, because as eagerly as you are now looking ahead to new thrills, in your old age you will look back upon the pleasures that have been yours.
