out of the bottle. At still other time.
! ponder about how cuckoo clock re.
pairers manage to make ends NEE
in these days Of high prices.
Guess what I pondered about yes
terday! I spent a whole day at it
and my subject was: Why are the
children of famous parents always
worrying about trading on the fam
lily name? Margaret Truman almost
got frog In her throat before her
singing debut by saying, over and
over again, that she wanted tc
climb the ladder Of success alone
without any help from the fact
that her father is our Chief Exec
Sees Energy Wasted.
The whole thing makes no sense
to me. Why hoist yourself by your
own bootstraps when you can save
your energy by shinnying up the
tails of papas evening clothes or
chinning yourself on mama's dia-
mond tiara? heartily approve OF
selfmade men II hope to be one
myself some day. but only when
it's necessary. II I had happened
to be born Richas Croesus, jr., do
you for one minute think I would
have spent my boyhood moving
lawns for Is cents per lawn, with
no portal-to-portal pay. or milking
cows for free just for the pleasure
of squirting milk at passing chick
ems? No!
There can be nothing wrong in
children having smart, able parents
who have been eminently successful.
The aim of most parents is to pro-
vide a good name and security for
their children. If they succeed in
doing this, why should the children
come along and kick the results in
the teeth?
I can understand why a Dillinger
Junior might want to change his
name and hide his parentage under
a pushel, but what's wrong with
having father who Is President Of
the United States or president of a
chain of railroads, or who owns
6 ,000, 900 beef cattle or 500 oil wells,
or who can out-write or out-paint
living?
How many times have you heard
people say with a snicker) that
such and such young man wouldn't
be vice president if his dad didn't
own the business? What is Dad sup
posed to do? Build up a business
and then turn over the responsible
jobs to strangers, showing his son
down to sweeping jobs in the base
ment? That amt the way life works
as of March, 1947.
Mistakes Unlikely.
=" No matter how sincere young
man or woman is, in saying that he
or she wants no help from the fact
that mama or papa is celebrated,
he or she is going to get it. Rocke-
feller will never be mistaken for
Smith or McLemore in this country.
Neither will Roosevelt, Vanderbilt
or Macarthur. If you think Ran
dolph Churchill's lecture tour was
made any more difficult because his
name is Churchill, I'll run in the
Derby this year and carry ITS
pounds.
There are only two or three ways
in which children of famous par
ents can lead their own lives with
out benefiting from the family
name. One is to rent a free balloon
from one of the Picard brothers,
settle down in the basket, cut it
loose, and sail into the wide, blue
yonder. Another is to run for Gov
ernor of Georgia and get lost in the
crowd. Still another is to don the
disguise Of an excl who needs a
home. This will make recognition
all but impossible.
