hope that this year the conven-
ton would be free OF pressure

troll That hope has been fully
realized. Mr.. W'1lkie is that rare
indN idual, a candidate without
commitments. He refused to
temper his views in the slightest
to the political winds. He was
comI lctely frank as to his posi-
ton on every issue, and never

The record of Wendell Willkie
is one of which everyAmerican,

typica''ly American story of the
man who, starting from humble

own work, his own abilities, his

governmental leaders, came up
the hard way. He knows the real
America - the America of mod

faith in democratic processes has
never been shaken, the America
which reveres our traditional IL

TIE great principles for which
Wendell Willkic stands are the

faith that is America" He has
made many speeches and written
many articles. And all of them,

PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICE

A well-known vinanciall maga-
zine has offered this advice to
young people: "Set up budget
and save at least 10 per cent OF
your pay. Life insurance provides
the cheapest and easiest method
of creating an estate" T..
Life insurance does more than
that. 1t makes you save! Human
nature being what it is, it is only
natural to prefer having good
time now with surplus money, Ito
putting it away against the pro
verbal rainy day. Life insurance
is 4 ,ontract-the payments come
due at regularintervals. 1t is a
rare man who won't sacrifice a
goo time to meet a life insurance
"pay day"-even as it is rare
man who won't at least occasion
ally omit contributing to saw
ings fund which is not on a def
mite contractual basis.
So life insurance provides a
psychological service, no less
than a great financial service
And one is about as valuable to
the average man as the other.

THIS LAND
WE SURVEY

about these days:
We're not interested at the
moment in the movies about
which they are enthusiastic, or
their current opion of the next
door ncighbors. We have a more
general and more important qucs-
ton in mind:
What are people americans.
we meant thinking about this
America of ours?
TO those who seek an answer
two recent magazine surveys
make fascinating reading. One
was concerned with the opinions
of Americans in general, of all
types and classes. The other dealt
with a group whose opinion will
be so important in the near fu-
ture, the youth OF the nation.
Here is a brief summary of the
findings in these two surveys:
The first, conducted by Fortune
Magazine. shows that the depres-
sion of the "thirties" has not dam
aged the American spirit. 1t in
dicated that majority of Ameri,
cans of all groups think that
they are better prepared to sue
ceed than their parents were. tina,
their chances of success are bet
ter, and that their sons chances
will be still better" And seventy
per cent felt that they have an
obligation to pass on to the next
generation; better living and So
cial conditions, a higher standard
of citizenship, more education
better health"
That's encouraging news abou,
the whole body of Americans. But
what about young people? Don't
we hear it frequently maintained
that youth looks upon the presen,
with jaundiced eye?
Scholastic Magazine investi
gated this situation, asking q
number OF questions among high
school boys and girls. And here.
the gist of their replies:
1--WE have confidence in our.
selves, place real value on our ia
lents, and have faith in the futur.
of our country"
Nine out of ten of those ques
toned belieed that the best cur,
for individual unemployment o.
for a job in which they did not Fl
was further preparation on thei,
own part. ynly 10 per cent ex
pressed the belief that govern
ment should provide jobs fol
Iyoung people until times improve
and 81 per cent said that if they
had trouble finding jobs they
would blame themselves. Only A.
per cent said ,"yes' when asked
whether it is more difficult to ge
ahead then in former times.
| Faith is ones own ability ant
the recognition of opportcnity
have always been the two mair
characteristics of Americans
They have accounted for our re

In the light of these two survey
and what they show concernin.
Americans of all types, there i
no reason why we should not loo1

-Bv HENRY MCLEMORE-

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10. CUP)-
A total of 55 men engaged in the
football game here yesterday in
which the Green Bay Packers de-
feated an allstar team chosen
from the other nine clubs in the
National Professional league by a
score Of Is 10 7.
But only one man-just one
was the difference between victory
and defeat for the Packers.
His name is Don Hutson-Don
Hutson, the old Alabama boy who
ran Stanford crazy in the Rose Bowl
few years ago.
Hutson is the greatest pass re-
ceiver who ever lived. He is the
only man who ever played who could
have made the Venus De Milo a
reputation as a pass thrower. All a
back has TO do is TO get the ball
in the air and Hutson will catch 1t.
1t was his catch of 65 yard for
ward that sealed the doom of the
all-stars. From back of the goal line
Cecil Isbell wound up and let the
football fly. With two all-star de-
tenders by his side Hutson raced
down the middle of the field. On
the all-stars 35-yard mark he look
ed upward, stretched out his hands,
pulled in the ball, and went on
for a touchdown.
That was the score that broke
the hopes of the AllStars, and after
the game was over all OF them, from
Coach Steve owen to the Waterboy
paid Hutson tribute.
There is no defending Hutson,
owen said. I'VE put two men on
him, Just as every team in the
league does. and two men aren't
enough. He's a genius"
Davey OBrien, one of the great
est passers of all time and a man
who appreciates men who can catch
the ball, had this TO say of Hutson:
You'd have 10 be a passer TO ap-
preciate Don. On that long one
yesterday he judged it so beauti-
fully When he went past midfield
he stole peek and saw he was

ahead of the ball. So he slowed
down, slowed down SO slowly the
defenders wouldn't notice it. Then,
all of sudden he went into high
gear, swept away from them, and
took the ball in full, wide open
stride on the 35yard line. Watch
ing him you realize what differ
ence ther is between good receivers
and great ones.'
Mel Helm, generally accepted as
the greatest football player in the
National league, urged that full tri-
butte be paid to Hutson.
mo one has ever set a defense
that can stop him." Helm said. He
is a specialist, and everyone knows
it. He is not very good on defense
and he is not very good as block
er. We all know that he earns his
money catching passes. So we can
shoot right at him. But what good
does it do? He takes wingbacks
tailbacks, and anything we put on
him and he makes monkeys Of them
He is SO fast, so sure, so imaginative
so cunning, that he outwits all de-
fense. And mind you, in requiring
so much attention, he makes every
body else on his club better than
they really are. When you play
Green Bay you have to play them
with nine men, because two of oul
players have TO devote their entire
attention to Hutson."
Every one of the All-Stars agreed
with owen, OBrien, and Helm
There was not member of the all
star squad who did not say that
Hutson was in a class by himself
and that without him the Packers
would be just an ordinary, second
rate team. This, mind you, despite
the fact the Packers have such
players as Clark Hinkle, Ernie Hur-
ber and Cecil Isbeli.
The All-Stars produced some fine
players. O'Brien was great. So were
