You can usually tell good deal
about a country by the kind Of
persons who are obliged to leave 1T
and the reasons for their leaving,
So it is interesting to consider the
cases of the English speaking
worlds two most famous exiles-
Charles A. Lindbergh, who no long
er lives in the United States, and
Edward Windsor. who no longer
lives in England.
The latest. dispatches from Eng
land say that Lindbergh is happy
there. No longer does he get threat
ening and abusive letters by the
market basketful. He is protected
from tabloidism, from Paul Pry, and
from Peeping Tom. He can go
ahead with his work, with knowl-
edge that he and his family are safe
from danger and from exploitation.
Now the fact that Lindbergh hao
to 90 to. England to get that sense
of security-that he could not find
it in his own land-iS thing to
make Americans hang their heads
in shame. But it is interesting to
balance against it the fact that Ed
Ward Windsor was driven from this
same England which offers Lind
bergh a haven.
Furthermore, there is the addi-
tionally interesting fact that Ed
ward Windsor seems to be more
popular in America today than in
England. His picture is cheered
when it appears on movie screens;
that of Stanley Baldwin, who drove
him out, is booed Justify.
And when you contrast the cases
farther, you make another discov-
erv. The situation which drove

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. |. WH = II
Hollywood ever took it's New Year S
resolutions seriously it has gotten
bravely over the habit, 1887 check

Neither the stern reslove Of Will

planes on world flights" "
nor the VOW of Freddie Barthol-

Nor, for that matter, does the
determination OF gangling Gary
Cooper to take a correspondence
course in art, and make something
of myself
Nevertheless a few fairly sober
resolutions were recorded. w. G.
Fields. for example, resolved to take
the trailer road to health with
long jaunts in his bungalow on
wheels.
Ann Shirley's VOW to become a
first class cook because the way

does Claudette Colbert's resolve to
90 in for more tennis and outdoor
sports, Bing Crosby's promise to
study ranch management, and
Carole Lombard'S intention to give
up breakfast in bed and do more

gave her for Christmas.
Sir Guy Standing should have the
benefit of the doubt for his promise
to refrain from fighting motorists
who cuss him out for driving slow

THERE IS NO DIVIDING LINE
IN HUMAN DESTINY

The old year is gone; we are launched
upon brand new twelvemonth period.
This is a time given over to a review Of
the past, a survey of our mistakes and
triumphs, and to an outline of that which
we hope to do in these months that are
marching down the corridors of time to
greet us. 1t is only natural that we stop
for a minute to make new resolutions
of conduct, new plans of campaign. We
should do so.
There cannot be much in life for the
man who goes blindly on without thought
of the past or plan for the future. Only
by our mistakes of the past do We avoid
mistakes of the future, so it is good that
one time has been set aside to consider
and resolve. We should remember only
This. that there is no dividing line i'll
human destiny.
The world does not stop in its course
because a new year has come. Events
do not cease to be- The plans we made
on this same day last year, If they were
carried to fruition, will have their affect
on our lives next year. Just so, the plans
we make today will live in the fact and
in the memory of this day next year.
Those plans may be drafted for tomor-
row but they should be drafted, too,
in the thought that their fruit will flow
er next year, and the next.
of ali the resolutions We might make,
of all the careful plans we might lay,
let this be the foundation: that we shall
live our lives from day to day in such
manner that the coming of another
wear will have written into the ledger OF
our lives a profit in accomplishment for
ourselves and others, not loss in mis-
takes.
