Eatonville Single Weaver
Collects Banks as Hobby

Carl A. Mattox Of Eatonville has
a hobby. Mattox also has a wife.
A charming girl by name Of
Gladys. She helps him with his
hobby. Unusual. to say the least.
But perhaps II more men had the
same hobby. more wives would
help more husbands in pursuit Of
their hobbies.
Mattox collects banks.
He now has 103 banks. Among
them Is Ferdinand. the Bull. It is
appropriate to mention Ferdinand,
for Ferdinand is the first bank col
lected by Mattox in starting his
hobby. Sort of the father of all
banks" If you get what we mean.
He has airplane banks. bird banks,
mouse banks, duck banks. book
banks and totem pole banks, to
mention few. As we said before
he has more than 100 banks, and
no two banks are the same.
or all the banks he owns, Mattox

justifiable. There u altogether
too much baek-biting and po-
licital hair-splitting going on
and why 1t is not censored BY
the proper officials. we cannot
tell. Perhaps 1t has unconsci-
ously become an accepted evil,
for since time began the sling
ing Of politica, mud has seemed
to be a factor in each election
campaign. Maybe the polite
ians think the people have come
to expect 1t. perhaps even want
II. At any rate. 1t Is a serious
problem for which q solution
should be found.
OF course. here In the United
States we do have freedom Of
speech and of the press and we
are very proud Of the fact. Per-
haps certain persons In author
ity feel that TO put a stop TO
the traditional mud-slinging and
back-biting among candidates
would be to take away a GER
tain amount of our famed Amer
lean freedom.
The point that you make
about the prohibiting of persons
from making certain slanderous
remarks over the air may be
explained by the fact that what
IL said over the air Is controlled
by the policy Of the radio sta
ton which is in turn controlled
by certain rules and regulations
issued by the Federal Com
munications commission.
But why political speeches are
not censored by the commission,
I can not explain. Just another
political mystery I suppose.

In the estimation of most people
their superior should be a kind
and noble person. The men who
are running for these offices are
the men who are to govern our
cities. states. and our free nation.
They are supposed to lead and
build our country and how can
they do II when they are permit
ted TO quarrel. bsck-bite. and
SANDER like the most common and
ignorant riff-raff?
I'll admit that I know very little
about politics. being a girl Of only
fifteen. But I have my ideals and
opinions and I can express them,
as this country is fine enough to
allow. There are many other
things that I would like to bring
out but I've come to the decision
that I had better wait until I
have reached a wiser age before
tackle any other question con-
corning such a confusing subject
as politics. But If you can give
me your views on this one question
I would appreciate it greatly. II
you can clear my doubts you will
be clearing the doubts of not only
a citizen but a future voter Of
these free United States.

Opinion in both Athens and Is
