GOOD WILL in
ACTION

CONTINUED from Page SS)
Ollie war veteran is in Paris study
ing painting because the Jewish
War Veterans underworld his pas
sage. The Rev. J. Earle Edwards
of the Queens Baptist Church,
L. T., announced that he was sub
shutting the word "people" for
the word "Jews" wherever the
latter is used in the New Tesla
ment in disparaging way. In a
white Protestant church in Brook
Ign a group of amateur Negro
actors put or a traditional Jewish
biblical play.
In conjunction with a Christ
mas display on the theme "Peace
On Earth to Men of Good Will"
the public library in Oshkosh,
Wisconsin, put on a display OF
both Christian and Jewish objects.
Christians of Somers, NY, re-
placed a sign on the site of a
proposed synagogue which had
been torn down by vandals. In
N.Y.C., the Roman Catholic Arch
diocese turned over rent free to
the Federation of Protestant Wei
fare Agencies badly needed facil-
tiles for dependent Protestant
children. Louis Cohn, chairman
of the Ft. Smith, Ark, JWB Army
and Navy Committee, bought and
presented to the Salvation Army
land to be used as a children's
playground.
These examples of good will in
action for the year now ending
are only the more dramatic of
those that have come to public
notice. They could be multiplied
by the hundreds to give proof in
a practical way that the Ameri-
can people not only preach broth
erhood but continue to practice it
through good will in action.

'He'sthat way all the time, Mrs. Barzansky,

Since he first began to paint, Joe has had
phenomenal success. Critics have been unre-

who own Gattos would read like paragraph
from the Social Register Yet, at 81, because
of his impulsive kindness, Joe is not much
better off financially than he was in his early
days. Furthermore, his eyes, weakened by
the strain of painting his incredibly detailed
pictures, are growing steadily worse
Joe isn't worried. His cheerful spirit has
never been broken, although it was dealt
severe blow by the death of his mother in 1914.
He had taken care of her devotedly ever since
his father died 20 years before 'She was my

IT'S BETTER Than

A painting may net $4,000
for sef-taught Joe Cato.
And once he was paid 81
for getting knocked out!
Toe CATO, one of the foremost primitive
81 painters in America, doesn't look like an
artist at all. He has deep brown eyes, a
heavily-lined forehead, and voice like a
child with whisky tenor
Mr.. and Mrs. AL Mayors, of Seattle,
Washington, will never forget Joe Cato.
Some years ago, the Mayors happened to see
one of his animal paintings in magazine.
They loved it, and wrote the artist that they
hoped some day to own one like it, Months
later, the Mayors sold litter of puppies and
sent check for $780, ''Pick out anything -
any little drawing" they wrote. Joe there

SIMPLE LIVING

Back in the old days in Key West,
when the percentage of elderly persons
was far m ore than it is now, we often
heard story about old folks in Harbor
Island. in the Bahamas, who had to be
rounded up every year or so and shot,
otherwise they would never die.
Of course, the story was related jok-
ingly, but it was fact nonetheless that
Harbor Island, small as was it's population,
had an unusually large number of old
people. We heard one Of them say, when
visiting in Key West, that many lived be-
yond the Biblical three score and ten
years because they led simple lives
In Key West, when it was isolated,
with but one regular steamship week con-
meeting it with the mainland, the simple
life was adhered to by vast majority of
residents, some of whom We're older than
80 years and a few were nonagenarians.
This week newspapers carried two
stories about elderly men, one of whom
was LOG and reported to be still ''going
strong, and another go, who had won
a waltzmg contest when he was
co. and now still reads without spectaeles
and has most of his natural teeth.
In both cases long life was assigned
to simple living, the chief factor in which
Is sufficient sleep to give the heart a
chance to rest, that is, to pump much slow
er than when one is awake and active.
We have read medical accounts in
which it was said that ancestry has some
thing to do with long life. but that the
main factors of longevity are eating whole
some foods regularly, and getting at least
eight hours rest out of "a. 1t was pointed
out that Over-eating develops ills as we'll
as undertaking. One must decide for him
But, above everything else, to live long
one must live simply.

HOUSES FOR CHILDREN

Here is an interesting item of news
from Sallsaw, Oklahoma, where G.. S.
Sisemore, described as the municipalities
largest landlord, says that he will rent to
no one without children in the future and
will make one months rent free to any
family having baby while living in one
of his houses.
This ought to interest some landlords
who are averse to renting their property
to families with children. AS Mr.. Sisemore
asks, What do they want to do with chill
dren; hang them on trees?"
1t is easy to understand the attitude
of some landlords, because children have
a way of increasing the cost of upkeep.
Reing in the business for the money they
collect from rent, the landlords find it
practical to rent their homes and apart
ments to childless couples.
While approaching the problems that
confront landlords, we are also conscious
of the problems of those who try to rear
children. They should have some rights
and, if necessary. the State should pass
legislation designed to give some priority
to families with children.

you CAN REST AT HOME

There is just a chance that vacation
spent at home, may do you more good
than rush trip to some crowded resort.
We have observed the common ten
dency of holiday seekers to return home
from their annual vacation wearier than
when they left. The rush and turmoil of
many vacation schedules prevent work
er from getting rest. This he can get by
loafing at home.
This is especially true if the tired bust
ness man takes with him the worries and
perplexies of his work or has to concern
himself with the money to pay the bills
which are piling up at home. Somehow,
we have gotten the idea in Monroe coun-
ty that a vacation cannot be a vacation
without spending lot of money on a trip
away from home. We have lost sight of
the primary purpose of annual holidays
which were designed and intended to
give the body and mind period of rest
and relaxation from the strain of the
working life.

"HEADED FOR A PRICE COLLAPSE"

Something of a warning comes from
Leon Henderson, former chief of the OF
flee of Price Administration, who says
that the United States is headed for a
price collapse rivaling the 1920-21 slump
unless consumer buying power is lacked
up.
Mr.. Henderson believes that prices
have been permitted to get out of hand
with the rusult that buying power has been
cut to the danger point
If anybody is inclined to be worried by
what Mr. Henderson says, there is COM
fort to be received from Senator Robert
Taft, of Ohio. Mr.. Taft points out that
everybody has more money than ever
before" and that the nation has "a perfect
~ tremendous economy"
The reader is entitled to take his
choice between the conflicting opinions. AS
for us, we are inclined to string along with
Mr. HedersOn upon the general theory that
what goes up must come down.
The present inflationary movement,
which is apparent all over the nation and
In many lines of economic activity, may
fool some of the people, including eco
monte experts, financial advisers and in
dustrial executives. Nevertheless, it will
come to an end, although no prophet can
tell the day or the year.
