fore he came to Virginia" Fen
wick revealed.
Fenwick went way back in
Virginia football history, before
his playing days, and said the
old grads like to talk about the
1915 team as the best until now.
The Cavaliers beat Yale that
year and lost only one game-to
Harvard. Virginia always had
good teams in the days Of ALL
America Bill Dudley, but lost two
games in Dudley's best season.
In 1921, Fenwick was one Of
the leaders Of what almost be-
came the only intercollegiate
football game to be played with
out the sanction of either school.

srAssEN AND STAIN

Too much Importance is placed upon
the conversations between Ex-Governor
Stsssen Of Minnesota, and Joe Stain, the
Russian boss,
~ Stassen went to Moscow as q private
citizen, and all he brought home as the
result of his interview with Stain was q
meaningless expression by Stain that he
hoped America would share international
control and inspection" of the atomic
bomb with Russia. That's nothing more
than mud-in-your-eye.
Anybody who wants to take the time
to read the Stassen-Stalin conversation
will find nothing new or hopeful in the
talkfest.
The best Statesmen from America have
spent months in battles of words with Rus
sia. General Marshall was more forceful
than former Secretary of State Byrnes, but
neither one Of them got anywhere in their
attempts to establish international agree
ments, and World peace.

BARRIERS PATTER

Fuller Warren, 1910 candidate for gov
ernor. who probably will be in the field
next year for that office, devoted his en-
tire column in The Citizen on Thursday 70
the ssfree-flewiag fellowship to be found
in barbershops.
He failed to say that practically all
BARRIERS are ready-tongued. We have met
only one. in olr hair-cutting caseers who
was as close noutf1ed as : bfoodtnE
Buddha. His name was Billy, and he was
not Key Wester. His only REMARKS, when
you sat in his chair, ware in asking you
the way vow wished your hair cut.
Unlike every other barber we have ever
met, when hes finished cutting your hair
he didn't ash you If you wanted sham
poo Or toxic put on your hair or shave,
if you needed one On sundry occasions
we deliberately tried to lead Billy into con-
versation, bat when we left off talking he
never took over. And vet Ne had large
following Time and again. we knew of
men who missed tleir turn to get into an
other chair, SO that Billy could serve them
But, as a rule, customers like the patter
of BARRIERS, even when they are given to
repeating oft-told tales. And, as rule, too,
BARRIERS know OIL the current jokes and are
familiar with, intimacies in the lives Of
their customers that are not generally
known. .s4s
So far as we know, Sheriff Berlin
Sawyer holds the record of early age for
beginning his trade as barber. He was
barber at II. and for three or four years
thereafter had to stand on a box to ply his
razor or scissors. He worked for AZ years
as barber and came to know more Key
Westers than probably any other resident.
Berlin was an adept at patter, though
Foon Foon and Molly, now operating in
the same shop. are also at the top of Fuller
Warren's list as talksmiths.

There are many sections of the United
States where the percentage of foreign
born or the children of foreign-born is at
minimum.
There are other areas in which large
percentage of the residents consist of per-
sons who have come to the United States
from another country, or their children.
We call attention to this fact because
some of the citizens who live in areas
where few foreign-born residents reside
do not understand the Importance of II
Am An American Day." The celebration
n very important in connections with teach
ing Immigrants and some of their children

considered ia be an American heritage.
Il Am An American" Day is celebrat-

the President of the United States and is
particularly dedicated to citizens who
have been natursaized in the past year. It
ID the occasion for much speech-making,
