Billy White who is to sing at

MinstrelS program.
Soon after he made his radio
debut, a Texas rancher, mistaking
his voice for that of a woman,
sent him proposal of marriage,
addressed to Billie White"
More amusing to his friends,
however, was a request from
booking agent for 'leg" pictures.
The agent, hearing him on the
radio, had the idea he might sign
her" for an engagement at Co
coanut Grove, where Billy had
been featured as tenor soloist for
several weeks.

~ first could hold a cornet to
her lips, although for only short
periods of time, Helen Kay,
trumpeter with Jose Manzanares
and his South American orches-
ira, started her lessons on the in
strument. Her early training was
reflected when, at the age of II,
she won a contract to play as
soloist at a Los Angeles theater.
She was affected by the glamour
of the theater, and decided then
to make music her career.
Miss Kay toured the United
States and Europe soon after she
was graduated from high school,
and began broadcasting in 1922.
She again toured the United
States, this time for five years,
and then played with Vincent Lo-

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
A BAD BUSINESS

The general strike, whose failure throughout
Great Britain decade ago marked 1T as clumsy
weapon for winning justice for workers. has just
discredited itself in an American city The town
of Pekin H., now goes about its business normal
ly after the breaking of ''labor holiday" which
tied up supplies for its 1900 persons for day.
All this was incidental to strike in distll'ery
When labor unions try to humble and Starve
whole community, making innocent people suf-
fer for private Disputes they inevitably lose pOpu'
lar sympathy. So it proved in this instance.
Business men in Pekin united announced their III
tention to reopen stores, and the labor command
called off the strike.

WE BET 1T is CHEAPER

This winter certainly is proving to lot Of folks
that in ordinary years it must be cheaper to live ir
the South than in the North by the measure OF
several kinds of expense.
Fuel for one. Enough heavy clothes to be com
Portable when outdoors Enough warm bedciotning
to sleep comfortably through a cold night Not tx
mention payment for putting up or renting a house
which can be kept nice and warm when the Their
mometer is 10 to 20 degrees above zero outside.
One proof of the differencen these costs OF lv
ing is the disorganizaton that hits the budgets OF
most families when an unusually cold winter liks
this one falls upon the South. Ask anybody who
has to pay money for fuel. What about the rub
bers and galoshes and boots bought, as we'll aS
wooden clothing?
What makes such extra big expenses even hard
er for some families is the fact that snow and cole
and wet have prevented some lines of business
from working full time, and have thereby cut dow!
weekly earnings for people employed by such bust
nesses.-Goldsboro News-ArgoS.

MAKING LIBERTY UNPOPULAR

Speaking about dangers to the American political
and social system
There is very real danger in the effort to make
unpopular our insstence upon the spirit of the
American constitution, and the individual and Soc
ial and political rights and privileges it is supposed
to guarantee to ....
There is very real danger in the effort to make
it appear unpatrotc to oppose the imposition OF
federal authority over us for the regulation and
control of individual and business and industrial!
activities.
And strangely enough, many who are trying tn
make rights and liberties unpopular and unpatrio-
tic are from among those who have suffered most
from that sort of despotism and autOcract in the
past and from which the American social and
political system has sought to provide the way OF
escape.
Why is all this dangerous?
1t should be necessary only to look at the Ger
many and Italy of today, and compare them with
the Germany and Italy before Fascism and Nazsm
and find the answer.
We do not want even to get started in that dlrec'
tion.-Rock Hill $50 Herald.

WHO GETS THE INCOME?

You have no doubt heard that two per cent OF
the population Of this country own 10 per cent of
the national wealth.
Or perhaps it was five per cent owning 80 per
cent. Or some other disproportionate ratio equally
as laundering and false.
The demagogues roll the statistics sweet NOR
sells. a.. ....
1t so happens, however, that the stuff refuses to
pan out parallel to the facts.
The Federal department of Labor has few re.
marks to make on the subject. tslv-- s...
National income last year was some $49,444O,
OOO 900, of which $50, 100 100000, or 81 per cent
went to labor.
Labor's share, therefore, was greater than it was
in 1929, when it received IS per cent.
But it is only fair to say that 28 per cent of the
total last year went in relief wages, leaving g.
per cent as regular: income virtually the same as
it was in the last of the boom years-Julian Miller
in, Charlotte Observer. F...... -.

ED ANDERS, who has been
around these parts about as long
as the next one, says this is the
toughest winter he has seen since
1898.
It was in that year, ne says,
that he started to work for an
uncle who was about the only
dairyman in the county. It was so
cold, says Ed, that he and his
uncle had to milk and strain in a
hurry to prevent the milk from
freezing before it could be placed
in the cans and carried to the
customers. Eighteen cows there
were to milk, he recalls, and it
was some Job for him and the old
man. A start was made early in
the afternoon and at 4 a. M, in
the morning.
He recalls that it was so cold
that the creek below his uncle's
spring froze over solid and horses
could be driven across it. He al
so recalls that Mr.. Fade. of Eto-
wah, found the going difficult in
the heavy snow and rode his
horse down the French Broad
river on the ice.
Milk bottles were unknown in
that day when the uncle went to
deliver the milk he covered the
cane with heavy quilts and kept
two lighted lantors besides the
cans. %ilik was dipped out accord

Mr.. Micawber, as you will doubtless re-
call. was forever hopefully waiting 1Or
something to turn up.
We like to think of the Stanley BaldWlnS'
the Adolf Hitlers, and all the rest as strong
-far-seeing men who know exactly WnaS
they and their countries are going to DC
doing three years from now. But once IN
p while someone gets unusually frank and
we find that world politics is largely just
matter of muddling through-and, like Mr..
Micawber. hoping that something Will
turn up. a -.
Half a dozen of Americas most famous
foreign correspondents were brought TO-
rether in New York recently by the maya
zine, Editor and Publisher, for round
table discussion. Among them was Frazl-
er Hunt, who not long ago toured Europe
for this newspaper and NEA Service; and
MIR. Hunt was asked what, in his opinion,
might be the prospects for peace.
81 imagine l talked to thousand peo-
pie over in Europe remarked Mr.. Hum

answer as to how the Italian situation VIII
be solved, in regard to the Mediterranean
and the Red Sea, and Italy's obvious threat
TO the road to India and to possible con-
troll of the headwaters of the Nile.
No such answer was forthcoming be-
cause no definite decision has yet been
made. In other words, nobody knows.
The Italian question, as Mr.. Hunt point
ed out, is like the question of the supposed
" approaching conflict between Russia ana
Germany. The responsible people-ln
England, and elsewhere-simply have not
made up their minds.
Il don't believe England has made that
decision yet" added Mr.. Hunt, in regard
to the Russo-Germany rivalry. Il thlnk
she will probably stall along, meeting each
Individual issue as it comes up"
Now all this is illumination worth having;
a reminder that the statesmen of the worie
are very much like our humble selves, al
ter all, in that they are adrift in current
whose forces and direction are unpreolet-
able.
They cannot make definite long-range
plans; they cannot tell just where they are
going. Muddling through and hoping that
something will turn up are about all that IS
left for them.
And that, after all, is not as discourage
ing as it might be. When the future IS as
uncertain as it to today program needs 10
be flexible Driving at full speed IN the
dark is not the best way to meet such Sit
uatiOn.
Mr.. Micawber's way may not have much
to recommend it, but there is this about IT.:
it does save people from the prospect OF a:
wrong decision at time when wrong oe-
cision might be unimaginably costly.
