HONEYBOY AND sAsSAFRAs

Millions of radio and theatre fans
feel intimately acquainted with
HOneyboy and Sassafras, the ass
assins of sorrow. Their radio skits
presented six times weekly over an
NBC-WEAF' network at 11:15 stand
ard time have made their every
thought. remark and mannerism a
| family bywOrd.
But the personal stories of the
men who created and are perDetu-
ating HOneyboy and Sassafras are.
/ for the most part. untold. During
every contact with the press these
two blackface comedians, who will
appear in person on the stage of the
New Plaza Theatre, Milford, on Fri
day and Saturday, May % and %.
with matinee Saturday at 2:30.
have modestly talked about their as
sumed characters instead of about
themselves.
George (HOneybOy) Fields was
born thirty odd years ago in GrOe-
spring. Missouri. population 1913. He
admits to being a restless Ted-hair-
ed kid with freckles." At 16 he ran
away from home and joined a tTav-
cling medicine show. He has been in
the show business-ciTcuses, dTa-
matte tent shows. musical comedy
and minstrel shOws-eveT since.
However, HOneyboy's education
didn't suffer as much as you expect.
He was for years a fanatic attender
of night schools and even spent a
large portion of his hard-earned
money on private tutors. This was
his compromise with a family that
insisted he desert medicine shows
and circuses and come back home
to school.
Johnny (Sassafras) Welsh is also
a native sOutherner. He was born in
Dallas, Texas, April II. 1903. After
finishing grade school and high
school Johnny got himself a job
with a Dallas printing company
where he learned the trade of press
man. In his own words, 81 was fired /
fifty times and quit hundred" On /
mornings after he'd been fired John
ny would report for work as usual.
When the foreman of the shop |
protested, "But you're not working /
here anymore. kid" Johnny would
answer blithely. 81 sure am. Use
your eyes" WhereIpon JOhnny's job
would be safe-till the next time.
His great weakness was joining
every itineFant minstrel group that
passed through town. Altogether he
thinks he Joined several hundred
and they all went broke. JOhnnv's
of this problem was to
write or wire the printing company
to return to his pressman
job upon receipt of travelling ex- =
penses. His Off-and-on employers
never failed to send the money.
For several years they played =
guest appearances on practically

GOLDEN EGGS

In a recent discussion of Pros
perity and Industry" James F. Bell.
chairman of the Board of General
Mills. Minneapolis, Mimi. made
some interesting remarks on the
subject of profits.
"We hear a great deal of small
talk about industry being run on the
profit system" he said. "It is impOr-
tant to point out and to restate that
business is conducted, not on the
profit system. but on the profit and
loss system and that the only way
TO have profits exceed losses is
through increased efficiency. Let us
bear in mind that the Government
cannot produce wealth, nor can gov
ernment, except to a small extent
and most incOmpetently. distribute
wealth. II therefore depends upon
industry for its very existence be-
cause people can only live and pros
per through the fruits of industry"
Bell steered clear of statistical
arguments. Had he chosen to do so,
he could have pointed out that in
1888, industry paid $423.06S, 900 in
taxes to the federal government.
That was bad business year; most
industries we're losing money. But
they paid nearly half a billion dol
lars in taxes just the same.
At the same time, that is, in 1888,
individuals paid $S74.12O,OOO in in
come taxes. Where did they get that
money? Most of them got it from
industry. In other words. industry
itself not only paid a S423,06S. 900 |
tax bill but It also provided most Of
the income that produced 1914, ,12O.-
600 more in taxes.
Yet there are some short-sighted
persons who figure that because in
dustFy does make a profit OCCASION
ally most Of that profit should be
taken away by the government in
taxes. The way that argument adds
up is this:
In one Of the worst depression
years, the goose laid nearly a billion
golden eggs. Lets cut her open and
get the rest Of them now.

REVERIES IN RIME
BY LYLA MYERS
A Christian

He doesn't stand in church and
pray,
So multitudes may hear;
Nor does he give large sums away,
To charity, each year.
He doesn't head the clubs and
leagues
And guilds, for glory great;
Nor does he brag about his deeds,
And his virtues relate.
But when a sad friend comes along
And tells him of his woes.
He tries his best to comfort him
Ere on his way he goes.
No hungry beggar leaves his door
Until he has been fed.
We're all kings crowned, I'm very
sure
A crown would grace his head.
