The producers OF "The General
Died At Dawn" were determined
to recapture the magnitude and
significance Of modern China, O

to recruit over 10 Chinese residents
of Los Angeles and the San Joaquin
valley to serve as soldiers and civil
ians In the scenes. An entire
Chinese village had to be built
up, made Of bamboo and paper,
and O Chinese Junk" which was
pronounced as seaworthy as o cup
defender, had TO be built. After this
vessel was completed q crew Of ex.
perienced Yangtze River sailors had
to be imported from China to navi-
gate II In the huge tank on the
Paramount lot In which marine
shots ore taken and which Is large
enough TO float q sea-going tug.
"The General Died At Dawn" Is
q story built around the romance
between Soldier-of fortune to
whom danger Is the breath Of life,
and O beautiful woman adventur.
css who Is given the task OF de-
stroying him. Their fortunes are
closely involved with the fate Of
China's teeming millions and their

For the first time in several years
the east holds its own with the west

chosen for the Captains All-American
teams by Central Press.

and three by the south, the other po-
sitions going to the Pacific Coast and

voting close for center and halfback.

in the United States and Canada, can
level out his owls business cycle.
Right now the en ire country is MAX
ing its first atten.p pit on a nationwide
basis to soften the effects of depres-
sions. During the past few weeks we
have heard mitch about the social Sc
curity act. Aided by the fantastic
Townsend scheme we have actually
secured a law compelling our spend
thrift people to save portion of their
earnings for old-age pensions and IN
employment insurance. / do not
know how this scheme will work. It's
operations will have to be smoothed
and refined. However rough as it
may be, il is start. .
Worst Feature
The biggest problem in administer
ing the act is the investment Of its
staggering fund. The money will be
put in government bonds and the
whole transaction will resemble a
man endorsing his own note. The so
cial security scheme is, therefore,
only as strong as public credit. That
is why it is imperative that the Fed
eral budget be quickly brought into
balance. Politicians have painted the
blessings Of the act so glowingly that
many look upon it as a perpetual
Santa Claus But basically the pub
| lie has not grasped the truth about
the social security act: Many believe
that it makes private thrift no longer
necessary. The truth Of the matter
is that the security benefits of the
act are so small that they should be
only supplementary to each individ-
uaPs own savings plan
! The new act requires that man
work for at least)five years and that
he must be IS years old before he
can draw "A monthly stipend. Even
| after he has been at work As years he
can receive at most a monthly bene
fit Of only $85. For the average wage
Garner, the pension would be but $35
TO $50. AS the worker contrasts these
tiny benefits with the gigantic fund
necessary to provide them, he will de-
eide that private saving is sOunder
than public thrift. Today individual
thrift Is unpopular. The urge is srl-
trcly to spend Wages (ihterest) of

plication of the Law of Action and
Reaction.
Thrift Not Outmoded
Some day the bankers will again be
soliciting your deposits. Some day
you will again see the sign: "a dollar
starts an account in this bank" lii
the meantime, do not let any one con-
vince you that saving and thrift, in
some form, are permanently out of
style. The wisest course for the self
reliant man or woman to follow is to
set up a social security act of his
or her own. AS full of opportunities
as is this country, there is no excuse
for any person of average health and
ability failing to lay up competence.
Right now it may not be through the
medium of saving account, but in
every community some form of in
stallment saving is still possible.
You, personally and Individually,
can make installment saving far more
pleasant than installment buying
The whole point to stress in this So
cial security business is the need of
putting yourself intellectually into
some well-thought-out plan. This is
the time to begin. Business now is
at normal-the ideal position. If the
country could glide along the normal
line it would be continuously pros
porous We are never satisfied, how
ever. Over the desk of too many
business men is the motto: Beat yes
terday." So we become over-ccnfi-
dent, expand and gradually extend
ourselves to the point of breaking.
Out of the suffering of the past
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-12-04


and out of the accomplishments of
the next few years some lessons
should be learned. Do not wait for
the social security act to dole out it's
pitiful allotment to you. Set up your
own old age protection plan and put
it into operation now. The happ. est
Christmases of the future will come
to those who fottify themselves by
their own efforts for whatever may
happen. Homes, children, education,
character and health are prime and
enduring investments. They are far
sounder than a publicly enforced
and publicly operated security plan.
Forgive the sermon. My only JOY in
preaching is that a seed here and
there may fall on fertile soil.
Business, as registered by the Bah
sonchart, is running at normal and Is
