San Diego Snubs
Refuses Exhibit

SAN DIEGO, July IL. (UP)-San
Diego will not be represented at
the San Francisco Golden Gate ex-
position next year unless the coun-
ty board of supervisors reconsiders
a surprise action taken late yester-
day.
BY a vote of 3 to 2 the super
visors defeated a motion which
would have notified the Los An
geles chamber of commerce this
county would participate in the
exposition along with Los Angeles.
The action was not scheduled on the
agenda of the meeting yesterday
and took the board by surprise.
The action came after spirited
debate in which Harvey Hicks de-
clared "it is time this county got
out of the show business" and T..
Leroy Richards stormed that when
a tourist city decides to quit ad-
vertising that's going some"
The supervisors had been urged
to provide $4,000 to be used with
Los Angeles appropriation, which
Richards argued would give the
county a lone third interest in a
$250000 show"

II shows the only two reforms
he asked for and failed to press
through somehow are the Little
TWAS lineup and Reorganiza-
ton.
Floods, drought, Suprem e
Court and Congress have not
prevailed against him. When
the Court knocked out the Guf-
fey-Snyder Coal Bill 6 to 8, he
wheedled through the existing
Guffey Coal Commission Law.
It took him two years to get
another NRA, but he got it in
Wage-Hour legislation. After
the original TRIPLE A was side
tracked 6 to 3, he put over the
same thing under the name of
Soil Conservation and the last
Farm Bill. Defeated on Su-
preme Court packing, he ap-
pointed Justices Black and
Reed, and announced his victory
over the courts officially in his

The Tragedy of FirecrGckers

HOW sensible it is the authorities have stopped
A the selling of ftrecrackers. I remember the
days long ago when I was young, how many
awful accidents children used to have with these
internal things. It shows what wise law was
put into effect to cut down the selling Of them.
One terrible example stands out in my mind
90 clearly. MY brother and were very, very
young, and my brothers chum was staying
with us at Glenwood Springs, Colo. We were
having wonderful time Our special game was
TO hold the firecrackers in our hands up to the
last minute, and then throw them just as they
started to explode. Our little friend held his

what terror I lived through in the next hour
while the doctor was trying to clean his wounded
hand.
admit it was lots of fun to shoot the things
off, but, after all, that one example cured us Of
ever touching a firecracker again.
Now you mothers and fathers, sisters and
brothers, who are driving on the roads today, do
be careful Don't try to rush and push ahead
of the fellow in front Of you just to save few
minutes. Remember, if you are half an hour late
for supper or the movie, it is much better to
arrive safely than to end up in a hospital
smashed to pieces or to stand by and see some
poor soul whose car you may have wrecked
screaming in agony. You all have machines that
can go up to 80 miles an hour, you all are in
free country But here again, is an example
of where you must control your freedom and
not take advantage Of it.
The Washington times., 1938-07-04

but, my friends, when you Evayn Walsh Mclean
come right down to the real truth of nature, you
must have CONTROLLED freedom. Not just free
dom for ones self and an utter disregard of the
other fellow. No one in this world is really
free. 1t is like locomotive-it can run easily
and smoothly up to a certain point. But, if the
engineer does not control the speed, the engine
runs wild and it means terrible wreck and
suffering for many, many people. We should
control our thoughts, our actions, and try to fit
our lives in with our brothers on this earth.
Then there would be freedom for all instead Of
Just few
