SouthAmerica
Seen as Great
Market for US
LIONS CLUB SPEAKER
SAYS REVOLUTIONS
ARE NOT FREQUENT

South America is the greatest
potential market available to the
United States and every citizen
of this country has a stake in the
development of that market, T..
A. Cberlander, chief of the truck
and bus tire division of the Good
year Tire and Rubber company,
told Lions club members at their
luncheon Monday noon.
A resident of the Argentine for
six years and OF Cuba for a year
and half, Mr.. Oberlander des-
cribed the trip from New York to
South American ports and the
customs of the people there.
Exploding the idea that South
American revolutions are FREE
quent and, exceedingly dangerous
to foreigners there, he declared
they take place only very occa-
sionally and are usually warrant
ed. When officials become cor
rupt, the Latin Americans don't
wait for an election but dispose
of them in the simplest manner
possible. We don't understand
such a political setup, he stated,
because we are of a quite differ
ent temperament.
He is not concerned over de-
velopments last week in Brazil,
he stated after the meeting, add
ing that he understands what has
been described as the establish
ment of a dictatorship is in reali-
ty regency and probably does
not amount to Fascism gaining a
foothold in this hemisphere as
was first reported.
South American people are dis
tinctly friendly and considerable
of. visitors, he said, and have "a
culture even among the poorer
classes which far outstrips that of
this country. Here, he said, eve
nings are spent playing bridge or
talking business while the South
American puts business aside
when he leaves his office and
finds time to acquaint himself
with and to talk about art, music
and many other subjects.
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, he des-
cribed as the most beautiful city
in the world while Buenos Aires,

The play opens on the annual

where all wrongs suffered during
the year are supposed to be
righted The court makes merry
while the king and queen are
asleep on the throne. The festi-
vities are interrupted by a visit
ing jester who after awakening
the monarchs, is ordered from the
kingdom.
The second act reveals the act
ual judging with the dull-witted
king unable to cope with the
weighty problems. Now he well
comes the aid of the banished
jester, who proves himself a
member of the royal family and
as such is welcomed by the king
and queen and their loyal SUBJ
jects.

Story Behind Story of Free ShoU Days

he called in yours truly, represent
ing the press and a fellow mer-
chant or two and Mr.. Buckley
aided the stranger in selling us
on the idea. There was much
good will in our hearts as we
departed from Mr.. Buckley's Of
ice that day.
The plan briefly was that each
merchant would for a certain
sum, (There were three prices
depending more or less on the
number of tickets the merchant
needed) get tickets to be given
customers with purchases, have
an ad run for seven days on the
screens of both theatres and have
his name listed on a page to be
purchased by Mr.. Buckley in
The Gazette.
Alls Well, That Ends Well, but
so far this hasn't. Mr.. Stranger
was salesman. He went from
door to door among the business
places and in all % decided an
investment in good will was
worthwhile. Some had to be
briDed with additional promises,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1937-11-18

There is a story behind the
story of the free shows next We'd
nesday which is as much of a
yarn, and was quite as well por-
trayed, as the thrillers you'll see
upon the screen that day. Fur
thermore it is a serial story. So
far the villain, if he is a villain
and he certainly has the circum-
stancial evidence against him,
hasn't met up with the Royal
Mounteds merchants in Sunday
clothes) so there may very posi-
bly, be a sequel to this story.
The free movie idea was pre-
sented to our local theatre men as
a merchants good will day. The
stranger, whose impressive Gre
dentials were proudly shown, had
sponsored them elsewhere. With
out exception they had made the
public feel much good will for
the merchants and the merchants
and public, much good will for
the theatre men.
The plan so impressed D. w.

finitely the hero of this tale, that
