The Book World

1HERE are those VINO cortend (justly, too
/ that Clarence Days father is one of the
most lovable characters in American literature.
Clarence had the good fortune to have father
who insisted on bossing his family like a good
natured despot and Mr.. Days sequel to his ear
lier brief book God and My Father, is the
Gears classic in humor wit and literature.
Mr. Days current volume is Life With
Father (Knopf so and it deserves to be read
py every one VINO can read. 1t is one OF those
books that can be reread time and again, aloud
and to anybody
The author mas reached back into his ado
lescent DAYS to tell how Father went about busl-
ness as a New York banker, how he liked his
meals his love for ice water, and what he
thought about guests who didn't know enough
to go to hotels, among sundry other things.
Clarence Day Sr. was lovable old tyrant who
above all else desired neatness and order. And
why he couldn't get it at home among his wife,
dear Winnie" and the boys was something he
couldn't understand.
Life in the Day home, writes Clarence. might
not have been the most peaceful thing in the
world but it certainly kept one on his toes Ev-
erything was out in the open and when Father,
or any one else, had a grievance they thraShed
it out right in the living room.
VXTHEN guests came visiting Mother would
w always hide them upstairs until she could
break the news to Father Father would rant
guests would take their places at the table, given
to understand that Father was not feeling well.
And he wasn't.
When Clarence Day ST.. wanted ice water, he
wanted it and got it. There was the time he
bought huge ice box and insisted on having
it delivered with full load of ice
1t was the authors luck TO have the same
name as his father and the senior Day was not
d great hand to notice the CIR" on the mail.
AS a result he always opened love letters adj
dressed to his son and then believing madIy
about why somebody was sending such trash
to him.
But the best of it came when he opened mail
containing circulars his son had written for
describing magcian's card outfits, stamps and
coins, pocket knives trick SPIDERS and imitation
fried eggs. How he roared!
FATHERS experience with the telephones will
l. remind you of the days when you had to
crank the handle to get central and how every
body in the neighborhood could hear the con-
versation.
Father became incensed when dear Winnie"
would suggest drive to look at the headstones
in the cemetery
st don't care" parked Father. Il don't want
to be buried with any of that Internal crowd,
anyhow"
But Mother, of course, knew how Father felt
about some of his family.
Clarence Day has described Father with a
tender sympathy which will strike many men,
ory in the hearts of men and women. 1t should
be compulsory reading for every one.
It's really that good

DEBT AND TROUBLES
ARE GAINING ON US

BY Reader
S. B. Pettingill in his radio ad-
dress said the need of the hour is
more recovery, not reform"
If Mr.. Pettingill expects the
American people to achieve eco
nomic stability and security under
the present economic structure, he
must necessarily ignore the results
achieved thus far.
The census returns on the divi-
sion of the national income indicate
the type Of recovery he may hope
for at best.
That type of recovery means pow
erty for many millions of our citi-
zens even IN the best of so-called
prosperity years
Any social order that produces
such results is not worth saving.
Under the present system of eco
Monies. it is imperative to create
debt in a constantly increasing VOL
une in order to permit the pro-
duction and consumption of goods
Purchasing power of the con-
sumers is being kept so low that
payment out of future earnings be-
comes the normal thing. Writing it
on the cuff becomes the medium OF
exchange, so that now we over
spend present income by more than
$50 billion dollars.

CRITICISES BUSES FOR
SPEED ON STREETS
BY a Times Reader

BY Times Reader
Why is it that buses operated on
the city streets are allowed to race
up and down through congested
traffic areas with never so much as
an official reprimand from traffic
officers. The motorist, trying to
get home in time for dinner, has to
think of all the rules in the traffic
code in order to stay out of the
clutches of the law.
At widely varying hours of the
Cay I have driven east on New
York-st and followed buses going
IS miles an hour for blocks. Yet
the motorist driving his own car is
likely to be arrested if found going
80 miles an hour on the same street.
Each time you pass bus on the
street you take a chance of ripping
off a couple of tenders, injuring
yourself and Drawing the wrath Of
a traffic officer for alleged improper
driving.
AS a taxpayer I think other
drivers and myself have as much
right to the use of the streets as a
corporation which does not bear the
cost Of the streets upon which its
buses travel.

STREAM POLLUTION SERIES
WORTHWHILE, HE SAYS

A Subscriber
The way in which The Times has
stood its ground in the matter of
stream pollution is highly commend
able. We citizens who realize the
tremendous task a newspaper with
certain ideals to uphold has in this
community appreciate the work
your paper has done.
We are not forgetting that it was
The Times that started this stream
pollution war in the first place.
when one of your writer's wrote
series Of articles on the subject
year or so ago.
We also are not forgetting that it
was The Times a week or so ago
which went right after a case Of
stream pollution in Big Eagle creek
in which thousands of fish were
poisoned.
Such consistent crusading is
pleasure to observe in this decade
Of apron-string newspapers, tied
down to political and economic posts
by the strong cable of advertising.
All credit to The Times and its
militant journalism.

He's For the Air ShOW

BY j. r. C.
1 wish to congratulate The
Times on the air show it is spon-
soring Sunday at the Municipal
Airport, I, for one, am ashamed
of the lack OF interest and appre-
citation I have shown for the adj
vancement of aviation.
Right before my eyes a great
city airport was constructed sew
eral years ago and I never knew
it.
Recently, since your paper has
been carrying articles on aviation
and the cartoon feature Flight"
which I greatly enjoy, I have
been getting more deeply inter-
ested in ships and men connected
with the air industry. Several
weeks ago I went out to see the
Municipal Airport for the first
time in my life. 1 was astounded.
To watch ships taking off and
landing, those graceful Douglas

Airliners and Boeings and Curtis
Condors is like stepping into
another planet.
To be sure, these men who pilot
a pair of cloth-covered stick
frames through the air will go
down in history's pages as the real
pioneers of 1885. Theirs is the
hard road, the road with little pay,
hard work, failure and the daily
possibility of death. But theirs
also is the stout heart, the high
ideal and the unlimited energy
which has served the pioneer be-
fore.
So I am going out to your air
show. Not just to see Maj. Will
liams turn his trick ship wrong
side out because I enjoy that,
too, but I am going to pay my re-
spectS to a bunch Of leather
skinned airmen whose genius and
daring has paved the way for the
Skyways of the future.

This almost revolutionary change Of front
is due 70 three things. One is the staggering
cost of public relief that every economist agrees

We meet and smile; exchange dull

No magic drums beat in our brain.
Our speech is slow as faltering birds.
We are not caught in mesh Of

All love is dead, no use to stir,
With prying hand the gray-white
fire;
For time. the steady ravisher,
Has soothed the wound, and
healed desire.
