FURY OF A HOME TOWN scoRNED
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Times-Signal)
Polly doesn't live here any more"

tLdntSVllle, Onl0, IlmeS-SlgnaI)
Polly doesn't live here any more"
Polly Walters doesn't care to be
known as coming from GAINESVILLE.
The former dancer who is now play
ing in New York in "She Loves Me Not
had this to say in recent letter printed in
Columbus newspaper.
Il would like to say that have not
forgotten my friends in dear old Columbus
town, and still claim that city as my home,
in spite of the recent publicity given to
GAINESVILLE, which regret, as | spent most
of my years in Columbus and studied
there"
Which has all the earmarks of Polly
turning snob. AS if the association of
GAINESVILLE with the name of Polly Walters
could possibly mean anything to Zanes-
vile.
When she was wearing her pin
feathers the boys here bursted hamstring
keeping her name before the public. Every
time we dropped in Dougherty's barber
shop to have her Dad cut our hair he'd tell
us about some new dancing trick of Polly's
which she wished we'd write up. 1t got so
that every time the phone rang we'd know
it was Polly's aunt on the other end of
the wire wanting some more publicity on
Polly's going to dance somewhere.
Knowing her as we do, our opinion is
that after her present flourish she'll go
back to the switchboard.
But now Polly doesn't want her name
associated with GAINESVILLE
Which is all right with GAINESVILLE.
But GAINESVILLE wouldn't have Polly
forget this fact for one minute, while she's
floating around on her bubble, that along
side of the brilliant constellation of Zanes-
vile folks doing big things in New York
City right now she'd shine like dirty
lantern.

DIVIDING A HERD

This story of dividing herd of

who have not heard it. Anyway, it is a
neat problem of mathematics.
A farmer died possessed of herd of
IL cows, of which he willed his. wife one
half. his son one third and his daughter
one-ninth. The executor of the will was
stumped. but called a mathematical shark
to his air. with this happy result:
A COW was borrowed from neighbor.
making Is. The widow was given 9,
which was one-half; the son got 6. which
was one-third; then the daughter received
?. or one-ninth. This totalled IL, the num-
Der to be divided. while the borrowed COW
was left. She was returned to her own
er, and everybody was satisfied.

A GOOD NEWSPAPER

DR.. Ernest HI. Gruening, famed edito
of the Portland (Me.) Evening News, on
of Americas outstanding smaller news
papers, has been named editor of the Nel
York Evening Post. What he says in
recent interview should interest ever
reader:
A Newspaper is public trust. 1t
owes an inviolable obligation to its
readers. They are entitled to truth
full presentation of news without bias
or suppression. They are entitled to
the honest expression of the editors
views in the editorial columns.
The advertiser in the newspaper
is entitled to the space that he pays for
special privileges in the news or edi-
torial columns.
No paper can achieve great sue
cess if it does not live up to these
principles. Without them it may pos
sibly prosper financially for time.
But it sets definite limits to its growth
unless it has the confidence of its
readers. 1t must establish its integrity
by consistent intellectual honesty, in
dependence, display of civic con-
science and courage. 1t must not be
afraid to run counter to the prejudices
and desires of its readers. The just
cause is not always the popular one.
Apart from the service that a
free newspaper can render, apart from
its tremendous power for useful
leadership. it is my conviction that in
the end such newspaper. provided it
is sufficiently financed to carry on a
fair length of time, will also achieve
the greatest material success, which.
many believe, cannot come without
abdication of certain moral values and
standards.

NEW YORK.-The fur manufac-

varied every manufacturer today
that any attempt to force the work.
ers to register with the Joint Council
will be answered by strike.
The Industrial Unions statement
says in part: ut is not the first time
that an agreement with the Joint
Council remains on paper. The Joint
Council is an organization without
members. 1t was organized, spon-
sored and financed by the fur manu-
facturers. The Joint Council consists
OF a small group Of racketeers and
underworld types working in conjunc-
tlon with handful of Lovestonites.
Everybody in the fur district knows
that.
1.-THE negotiations between the two
associations and the Joint Council
were conducted in the greatest
secrecy. Both sides were afraid Of
the fur workers. The furriers do not
know now what kind of secret I'M
derstanding was reached by the
racketeers Of the Joint Council and
the leaders Of the bosses associa-
lions at their secret conference.
"As we expected the Joint Council
has given up the demand for the 30
hour week, which, because of the
widespread unemployment, is of vital
Importance for the furriers at pres
ent. At the CODE hearing in Wash
ington the Joint Cornell had to men,
ton 25 hours as one of it's demands"
but in the agreement with the bosses
this vital demand is entirely given
up The fur workers are not surprised
at this new betrayal of their interest.
"The Industrial Union will defend
to the utmost the basic right of the
fur workers to belong to a Union
of their own choosing. The Indus

of the workers and will see to it that
the bosses live up to all the condi-
lions that the furriers have won
through their long and heroic strug-
gles."
