ROADS AND ROLLING
WRITERS

Almost every iiterate person at
one time or another is driven by an
inner urge to express himself. Pen
in hand, he dreams of his name en-
scribed on the honor roll of immort-
al writers. Shakespeare, Dickens
and Mark Twain are boon compan-
ions in his reverie. The urge may
be a mere flicker or it may lead to
"a course in college journalism.
Every high school or college stu
dent who has studied short story
writing, a subject taught almost
universally in American schools,
remembers one emphatic rule,
write about your own backyard"
He is cautioned above all else to
describe or interpret only that To-
cality with which he is familiar.
But the would-be writer often feels
that his own backyard is lacking
in characters and color, material
for stories. The amateur is not
alone in his conviction. Great pro-
fessional writers have felt the need
of more varied experience and a
more diverse range of setting.
w. Somerset Vaughan, acclaim
ed by many critics as the greatest
living novelist, wandered far from
his English shores in quest of ma
terial. From his pen flowed many
colorful stories of the white mans
life in the Orient. Every scene in
America is a changing one. Amer
ican writers are not forced to roam
abroad as did Mr.. Vaughan.
American climates, geography and
peoples offer illimitable scope for
the writer. Until recently, how
ever, he found it difficult or impos-
sible to avail himself of this infinite
variety of material. The trans
portation of yesterday did not en-
courage travel.
Good roads, the automobile and
trailer were instrumental in the in
auguration of a new era for writ
ers. The most remote American
regions, the most picturesque
American settings may now be
reached without difficulty or hard
ship. They offer first-hand settings
for novels and short stories and
articles. The. successful writer Of
fiction may now follow the wealth
er. You see him Florida-bound
with the wild duck and travelling
north with the robin in springtime.
Reporters rove the land in search
of information for their syndicated
newspaper columns. At least one
writer is sponsored commercially in

this new type of enterprise made
possible by good roads. Warren
Bayley writes syndicated feature
called Trailer Vagabond' for news
papers. The series of articles writ
ten by Mr.. Bayley takes his read
ers to strange, interesting and prom
inent places in the United States,
Canada and Mexico. A seed COM
pany sponsors his travels. Good
roads and facile pen are respon-
sible for Mr.. Bayley's interesting
way of making living.
Clarence Buddington Kelland,
whose stories are read by millions,
based "best-seller" on a cross
country trailer trip. Mr.. Kelland's
backyard" was large. 1t was 3d.
900 miles wide. Mr.. Kelland was
familiar with his ''backyad" for his
own trailer transported him from
coast to coast before he wrote the
novel. The American system of
highways, third of the worlds to-
tai mileage, could also have car
ried Mr.. Kelland from Canada to
Mexico had he been so inclined
With every passing day more
American writers are combining
pleasure with profits as they dis
cover" America for themselves and
their readers. No other country in
the world offers the facilities, ad-
vantages or scope of highway trav
ell afforded by the United States,

m,estion of construction of an ad-
ditional set of locks for the Panama
Canal is raised. The Appropria-
tions Committee of the House cut
s14 500, 900 from the War Depart
ment supply bill for the initiation
of this construction work. How
ever, the bill still carries $85O,OOO
for the preparation of plans and
specifications for this project, rec
commended by President Roosevelt
as an urgent defense need. 1t is
true that a serious defense ques-
tion is here involved, but it is not
so urgent as to necessitate waste
full haste. The present budget
does provide S39, sc, 900 for further
fortifcation of the Canal and arm
ing against air attack. 1t would
take six years to complete an addi-
tional set of locks, and by the time
the plans are ready two years from
now, it may be clearer whether the
protective works would with GER
tainty defend an auxiliary route
closely paralleling the present one,
or whether new canal, perhaps
through Nicaragua, would be nee
essary to obtain the desired effect.
NATIONAL LABOR LAWS
After the Smith Committee has
finished its investigation of the
National Labor Relations Board, it
will be ready to recommend to
Congress certain amendments and
revision of the Wagner Labor Re
lations Act. accommodations of
the House investigating committee
are expected to be unanimous. If
difference between committee mem
bers can be submerged in a report
acceptable to all, the prospect of
positive action at this session of
Congress will be greatly enhanced.
The report of the committee head
ed by Congressman Smith will be
referred to the House Labor Com
mittee, and from that committee is
expected to emerge plan for
amendment to the Wagner Act
that will call for the changes to be
recommended.
FOREST SERVICE Leaders in
Congress recently informed Presi-
dent Roosevelt that his order,
transferring the important Forest
Service to the Department of Inter
ior from the Department of Agri-
culture, would be over-ridden by
both houses if presented. The re-
suit is that the plan for transfer is
delayed, if not stopped. This trans
fer has been opposed by all Nation
al Forest Associations and State
Foresters.

Bridge and Bunk
Cleveland Plain-Dealer)


 Undoubtedly many persons reading about the national contract bridge tournament being played at Philadelphia catalog it as test of skill much like golf tennis handball tournament.
 Unfortunately for the game of bridge, which offers the opportunity for great skill and which pro- vides persons interested in the possibilities of cards intending fields for study no way has been devised by which bridge tournament is test of skill
 The rules might about well permit each en- trant to put his in hat and authorize a bndfolded check girl to draw out the winners. Yes, the weakest pair in the tournament can win and sometimes does. There is considerable bunk about being national champion"
 It would be entirely misleading to imply that large percentage of these tournament players not skillful The fact is that they far skillful in bidding and play than the participants in almost any group anywhere which meets around at homes, groups in which the members pride themselves on being real sharks"
 Almost any of these tournament participants would wallop these home sharks few days of play of rubber bridge. Another truth is that the best test of skill lies not in duplicate tournaments, but in common, ordinary rough and tumble rubber bridge
 However rubber bridge makes no sense unless played for at least modest stakes Since most people do not to lose heavily, the American Contract Bridge League has developed the bridge tournament business and it is big business It is fortunate for the league that it is not test of skill If it were, only handful of players, instead of hundreds would assemble for the tournaments and the league would find the too small to be worth enter ing in the ledgers.

disgrace that there about 10,000000 unemployed and hungry and women amid potential plenty. But few decades ago we would not even have been ashamed of the effects of depression. In for mer business pancs thousands lost their homes and families wandered about in distress that is incon- ceivable today Public relief now is inadequate. Public relief in past depressons was almost non- existent
 We have at least established the concept of pub lie responsibility for the human suffering caused by economic recession; have begun system of social security destined have far-reachng effects upon the security of future generations
 The very fact that we are conscious of our shortcomings indicates growth just the existence of pain is indispensable to health.
 Our democratic system is functoning better than ever before We met the worst economic and politi- cal crisis our history without threat of dictatorship from any direction There is the widest public discussion of public questions and the public understanding of them probably goes deeper than ever before.
 Our people have not shown any sign of hysteria as result of the shock of war in Europe
 And now the British people whom have come to look as our allies in the defense of democ- racy appear to have turned the tide of aggression at least on one of the European bully nations The year 1941 may be the year in which England, with Americas help definitely strikes down the totalitar i7r challenge to civilization. It may be year which before it is over will the worlds feet set again on the path of peace and progress, based on the knowledge we have gained through mis- takes and the past two decades.
 There signs pointing that way. If they are right the year which begins at midnight tonight which has already begun in warning Europe and Asia-will be Happy New Year indeed.
