Hi FROG
Roger Kids
His Patrons
THE FROG

PARIS-Roger Spinhirny, better
known as Roger the Frog" is {
restaurant owner who makes g
good living out of insulting his Gus.
toners.
He's n of the few, too, who
opens his kitchen to anybody toe
poor to pay, such as hard-up young
Sters and students in the neighbor-
hood.
Roger has seated late arriving
ambassadors and movie stars in the
kitchen and had them like it. He's
kissed a good half of his women
customers with the boy friend look
ing on laughing.
He's torn up orders and served
what he thinks they ought to have.
He has put almost every customer
on the spot at one time or another.
Most of them love it. Those who
don't, don't go back.
Favorite Since 1880
His place, the "Grenouille" frog)
at % rue des Grands Augustins, in
the heart of the Latin Quarter, has
been a ~favorite since he opened it
in 1880.
Roger was born in Paris in 1901.
He grew up the hard way, an
orphan. After World War 1, he
worked in the Ritz hotel restaurant.
Later he moved over to Chez
Rouzier" on the Place st. Michel.
By 1880 he had some money of mis-
own. He decided to open a restau-
rant and run it in a way which COM
bined all the things he'd been
bawled out for doing at the Ritz and
Rouzier.
Instead of going broke, he
thrived. People have been packing
the place since opening day.
The highest priced dish on his
menu is 200 francs (about 70 cents).
Lobster, sold by the weight, might
run up to 300 francs, but that's the
ceiling.
Frogs legs, which he frequently
forces on you whether you like them
or not, are $50 francs.
Customers at the Grenouille get
only two kinds of wine, one red and
one white. If they want a long list
to choose from, Roger tells them to
60 elsewhere. They stay. His fiat
price is 225 francs a bottle.
Antiques on Wall, Too
To most customers, the Grenouille
looks like an antique shop
han a restaurant. Among the hun
ired-odd items hanging from the
all with their own story, are
4 French horn, a COW bell, a horses
name, a bunch Of onions and a
woman's hat. The walls are plas-
cred with clippings, diplomas and
pictures.
Lunch begins at 1890 and lasts
IS late as 4. Dinner starts at 6 and
goes on until l a. m. Throughout
both Roger, dressed in an open shirt
and a waist apron, moves from
to table shouting orders,
tracking jokes, insulting custom

everybody there who the young
ady is.

Well, Congress jumped the
Presidents taxable income to
$1,000 and his non-taxable
expense account to 100000. It's
a nice boost in any business,
but it isn't all gravy. The
President has to feed the
White House staff, his family
and guests about 1000
meals a month. That's a big
bite out of the budget. Her
bert Hoover, who knows the
business, claims the President
is lucky to have enough left
after expenses and taxes to
buy a package of cigarettes.
This is probably stretching
an exaggeration, but few men
ever made a fortune in the
White House. We guess the
new raise could be called a
Capital gain.

Q Leaders of unions representing rail-
road engineers and firemen seek to force
railroads to add extra, needless men on
diesel locomotives. This is sheer waste
"a "make-work" program which would
mean fewer improvements and higher
cOsts-fOr YOU!
Railroads use modern diesel locomotives be-
cause they are one of the means of giving
faster, better service to you.
Two men compose the crew of a diesel.
They occupy a clean, comfortable cab at the
front. The engineer handles the throttle. The
fireman sits and watches the track ahead.
With no coal to shovel, he has practically
nothing else to do.
No Benefit To You
Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want
to use the diesel locomotive as a means OF
forcing a Misunderstanding scheme on the rail-
roads. The extra men they propose to add to
the diesel crews are not needed. There IS no
work for them.
The union leaders are fighting among them
selves about which union should furnish
these extra, needless men. The Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers have even threatened
a strike. You may not be interested In this dis
pute of these two unions, but you would be
vitality concerned if these groups succeed IN
putting through this feather-beddlng scheme,
because it would mean a slowing up OF the
improvement program of the railroads.&c.

railroad employes-real aristocrats of labor!
Their pay is high by any standard. Granting
of these demands, therefore, would mean that
the railroads would be paying out millions in
unearned wages to those in the very highest
pay brackets.
We'd Like To Spend This Money On You
You know how much the diesel has meant to
you in increased speed, comfort and conven-
fence. The railroads have many more of them
on order for even greater improvement in
service to you. But needless drains of money,
such as this present demand of the unions for
needless men on diesels, reduce the ability of
the railroads to spend money on better serv-
ice for you.
Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is
only a small part of their improvement pro-
gram. Since the War, literally billions of dol
lars lave been spent on improvement of

tracks and stations, on new passenger and
freight cars, as well as on diesel locomotives,
and on the many other less conspicuous de-
tails of railroading that contribute to i'm
proved service.
But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the
one now proposed would, if successful, divert
large sums of money from our present i'm
provement programs. Even worse, they make
improvements like the diesel worthless, by
making the cost of their operation prohibitive.
These demands are against YOUR interests
as well as those of the railroads. They are
schemes to make work.. Neither you nor
the railroads should be forced to pay such a
penalty for progress.
That's why the railroads are resisting these
make work" demands to the last ditch-and
why they are tell. ,g you about them.

I've Been Thinking
BY CAB GALLOWAY

Well, jingle bells to you, dear
reader. Old st. Nick is shaking the
mothballs out of his gift bag and
one of his favorite gnomes is warm
ing up the reindeer in the trotting
circle of the North Pole Athletic
and Reindeer Racing Club.
I've been thinking about Christ
mas because my tykes conducted
me on a tour through Macy's toy de-
partment the other day to establish
in my mind the things which they
simply must have to make this
years Yule complete.
The thing which inspired this COZ
umn was a display of very lovely
dolls, apparently created for the
Colored trade. This isn't the point
Of the column, but let me make an
offstage remark: Thank heaven the
doll manufacturers have at last
made Negro dolls which aren't
cruel burlesque of our people e.
but let's get on
The display reminded me of
story | recently heard about a
(white) friend of mine who has a
five year old daughter. My friend
saw one of those displays of Color
ed dolls, too, and was Immediately
impressed with both the good and
the harm that those dolls could do.
Realizing the impressionability of
small children, he pictured in his
mind the questions which would
arise if he were simply to bring
home this doll of a different color
and yet he saw the lesson this
doll could teach his White daughter,
aged five.
My friend came home that night
with two presents for his little girls.
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1949-11-26

One was the Negro doll and the
other was a fair haired White doll.
Honey" he told his daughter,
eve brought you a present OF TWO
dolls tonight. / was going to bring
YOU just one, but the storekeeper
told me that these two dolls were
such verv dear friends in the store
that he hated to separate them, so
bought them both. Now you must
promise always to keep them To-
gether."
II will daddy but why are
thew different colors?'
"Well, honey, you've seen red ana
yellow and white roses all growing
together, haven't you? You see, God
makes people and dolls different
colors Just like He does with flow
ers. You can see it doesn't make any
difference, though. They're such
good friends"
Il think they're pretty - and
they're such good friends she
echoed, proudly.
When 1 heard that story 1 said
to myself, why didn't you think
of that" We cannot pretend that
our children or those of the White
man will grow up oblivious to race
prejudice, but we can set the ex-
amples which will teach our child
rem to think out color line problems
and recognize their absurdities rath1
err than to add to the problems of
prejudice in ignorance.
If the impressionable child learns
that the Negro doll and the White
doll can be friends, he or she will
be that much better equipped to
combat prejudice and help expose
It's stupidity to coming generations.
It's a psychological step.
Yes, this was a very tiny step, but
one so we'll taken that it made me,
as father, feel humble. Why don't
you let me know what you think in
a letter addressed to me, Cab Gallo
way, at 1919 Broadway, New York
City. See you next week.

at 1856.
The eX-champ opened cut near
Cheshul's left eye in the fifth round
knockdown. He kept jabbing away
at the eye, but Cheshul did not
bleed excessively until the last round
The bout, second on nationwide

The fifth round knockdown came
a few seconds after Louis missed by
inches with a murderous right hook.

SEGREGATION VS.. FELLOWSHIP

News of the cancellation of the Kenyon CollegeUni-
versy of the South football game this year disappon
ing the undergraduates and alumni of both Church in
stutions but the cause of ought to bring dismay to
every Churchman. For the given is that Kenyon
has two Negro football players and the game was
celled to prevent any possible dad relations between
these two schools
Thus the fellowship between two of the few remain
ing institutions of higher education in the Episcopal
church is broken because of the policy of segregation
the part of of them is matter to Churchmen
blush for shame The secular sports world has long
solved this probem it remains for the Church to
find barrier to craftsmanship and athletic fellow

Church does not practice racial discrimination! Living
