PREVENTABLE TRAGEDY
Lucia Mallory

Lucia Mallory
A letter had enclosed a clipping
from my hometown paper. Zone
of life's tragedies" 1t began, was
enacted at the state penitentiary
today" The article was not pleas
ant reading. It informed me that a
young man, whom / had known in
childhood, had committed suicide
after being convicted of forgery
and sentenced to serve long term
in the state penitentiary.
Knowing my interest in our for
mel friend and neighbor, my mo-
ther had sent the sad story to Inc,
with the written comment, What
a pity! This tragedy might have
been prevented"
When 1 recalled Wayne Smith
sons opulent childhood and his i'm
dulgent parents, understand very
well what my mother meant
Wayne had never learned to do
without anything he wanted. Every
sort of playthlng that could be pro-
cured was his for the asking. He
had a pony, a bicycle, roller skates,
ice skates and skis, and he had
tennis court In his own back yard.
All of these things are desirable, of
course, and the games in which he
engaged are good for a boy, but
Wayne never earned or even waited
for any of his playtime equipment.
or anything else. lie had only TO
express wish, and whatever he
wanted was obtained by his devot-
ed parents.
1t did not occur to them that he
would one day become man in
world about which he would un-
derstand little and in which they
could have no part. They could
not fOresee their own early passing
Of the shrinking Of q once adequate
income TO the point where it was
no longer sufficient for life's bar
est necessities.
Faced with the lack of the things
he desired and needed, Wayne knew
nothing of the slow process of
earning them for himself. lie tried
to fulfill his own wishes as his par
ents had fulfilled his every child
hood wish - without working. |
weakness and subsequent
folly were very largely the fault Of
hi3 parents. They had SO much |
wanted their boy to be happy that |
They denied him nothing. He had
never tasted the joy Of earning or
Of sharing TO the extent of sacri-
ice. What a sad mistake they had
made!
The Puritan forefathcrs often
carried the doctrine of self-denial |
ID an excess, but surely their chill I
lren were better equipped for life
han those of our modern children
who have had no practice in the
art of doing without"
How desirable is that wisdom, on
he part of parents, that avoids
,ither extreme!
Wayne SmithsOn's parents did
lot live to share his tragedy, but
ie left a wife and child whose lives
lave been blighted by his mi3-
axes.
One does not like TO dwell on
iucll matters, but there are hun
lreds of fathers and mothers who
,ught TO read Wayne's story, while
hey can still prevent similar trag-
dies in the lives of their own chill
ren.

Growers and shippers Of fresh
fruits and vegetables throughout
the country are getting 13 per
cent larger share of the consumers
dollar ON produce marketed thru
the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company than they were four
years ago, John A. Hartford, A&P
president, announced today.
Pointing out that the 13 per cent
increase meant growers and ship
pers are getting six and half
cents more of each dollars worth
of fresh fruits and vegetables sold
in Arp retail stores, Hartford said
53.3 cents of each dollar now is
being passed on by his company to
growers and shippers. The return,
he pointed out, is well above the
national average for produce mar
keted through all channels.
Based ON analysis of the COM
pany's operations and those of its
buying affiliate, the Atlantic Com
mission Company, during the first
eleven months of 1910 as compared
with the year of 1887, Hartford's
report indicated that the constant
ly increasing return to growers re-
suits directly from continued inn
provement of the company's eff
cheney with attendant reduction of
operating expenses and elimination
of loss from spoilage and damages.
Our cOlnpany's report may be
cited as significant evidence of
what straight-line distribution is
doing to help solve one of agricul-
ture's major problems today, the
vital need to return to farmers a
larger share of the consumer dol
lar, and thus to bring about a
greater parity between farm and
industrial income" Hartford said. |
The A&P president said this con-
tinuing progress, in addition to
helping the growers, also allows
millions of people to buy more
food, thereby expanding the mar
kets for fresh fruits and vege-
tables. More and more retailers,
he added. are following the exam
pie of economical distribution set |
by his company and other mass
organizations.
The major savings in ARP dis
tribution during the four-year per-
iod, the report showed, resulted
from reduced operating expenses
and a large decrease In damage
and spOilage disappearing costs
dropping 10 per cent and spoilage
