JR. Editor anti Publisher Office Phone 4 — Home Phone 904 THURSDAY. AUGUST 17, 1933 A DECLARATION OF \ independence. In\he code submitted by the pub1 >heis «>f newspapers of the country, to the administrator of NRA, this provision was included in. the code: ••Nothing in the adoption and ac- • ceptance of this code shall be construed as waiving, abrogating, or ipodifying any rights secured under the Constitution of the United States or of any State. or limiting the freedom of the press. "It is mutually understood that because of the limitation of the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States, nothing in the code shall be construed as authorising the licensing of publishers and newspapers or as permitting injunction'proceeding which would restrain the publication of newspapers. ” • I’he code was turned down* Yesterday Johnson issued a temporal y pact as to wage and hour schedu<e- foi newspapers but he left for future de*»i urination several, controversial issues including a reservation by the publishers of their constitutional right to a free press. Oh, yeah. This is a free country. And the country needs an exposition to show its progress during the last century. In fact, the exposition might be •' memorial to the end of freedom in this country. MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS she other day al the post off ice some of -the boys were telling c fish vs The conversation . finally : ui:.»-d • how large is the mouth of a large mouthed bass Someone said it is very easy t<> put one’s , fist into the mouth of a big bass. -Eugene Holloway « spoke up and said that he a lid a friend were fishing some time ago. He saw a big bass but <<>uld not tempt it tn bite/ oh big chubs and shiners used mostly t y pike rikhei men. His friend, sizing up the situation rigged up a line with a grindstone attached. The bass •.wallowed the grindstone and got away, H way said. He claimed that the bass .wanted the grindstone to help grind up his food ail a chicken eats pebble-’ to aid digestion. The party broke up Holloway had won. .Say, whatever has become <f our • alligator* Maybe 3. 2 is not strong enough? Tienfttul Hugh Johnson, administrator of the NRA has been quoted Us Maying “to h with this place” when a hotel clerk in Dayton, 0., asked that Johnson pay in advance when Johnson came to the hotel without any baggage and, asked for a room for the night. The clerk followed instructions and regulations of the management of the hotel, and Johnson expected the clerk to break these rules because he was Mr. Johnson. But the general expects every business man in the United States to obey hia regulations. Probably quite a few have at least felt like saying “to h with your regulations.” Believe it or not a girl of at least lb yeaps of age, inquired in the Journal office where postage stamps were sold. The editor told her she could buy them in most drug stores, but the usual place of sale was the postoffice. He directed her how* to gel there, and if she made her purchase, the Syracuse Postoffice is the first she’s ever been in. In c-mmentii + on the driver who must have been drunk, Monday evening as his car hit a lamp post and a gasoline pump, A. A. Beach says if the fellow could prove he drank only 3.2 the court couldn’t bold him for drunken driving as the Congress of » the United States and the President have said that 3.2 beer isn’t intoxicating. It has been suggested that housewives demand some NRA rules and regulations, insisting their work hours be cut down to B~per day. But wouldn’t the only way to aide step that be polygamy? With at least three wives, one. for each eight hours in the 24? Another Exposition of the Century of Progress—here we are back again to ruahing the “growler.* The governor and Paul Fry, state beer baron ruled that draught beer is legal for Indiana, and on Tuesday Fry ruled that persons who want to may send to the stores selling draught beer, pitchers or little tin buckets, and have these filled with beer and returned. The degree of progress can be measured in accordance with the smell around such ea-

they are aNe the dimensions wL..ti govern the development of human life. The length of life Is the period of years in which we do our work, achieve our success in a chosen field and perhaps accumulate a small competence which we leave as an inheritance to our children. In

this dimension of life are found the economic struggles, financial failures, long hours of labor as well as the rewards for work successfully done. The length of life varies. To some is given many years beyond three score and ten, others are cut off long before they reach that age. The dimension of length, however. Is not so lm|M>rtant as it at first appears to be. Many persona have accomplished in thirty years what others filled to achieve In twh-g that period of tfme. ’ft matters not how long we live, but how.” The dimension of breadth has a great Influence in the development of life. The breadth of life Is the measure of Its culture, educatloa and- recreation. a life with only length and no breadth aoob loses its vitality. Many a business man finds himself nervous Jy tired and exhausted not because of overwork but because he lacked the ability of knowing how to rest and play. The tendency of reducing the number of working hours will give us more leisure; thus calling for serious consideration not only of the dimension of breadth but also of height. In which dimension will be found a man's aspirations. purposes and Ideals. What will we do with so much leisure on our hands? Leisure ipay be either a curse or a blessing, ts a shorter working day affords more time for riotous living, we had better not have the in creased leisure. It on the other hand, we shall read more books, hear more good music, give more time to altruistic service, the leisure will bring a great blessing to us all. As a cathedral rises above the street level so character rises above the level of material and commercial values. Will our leisure affect for better or worse the character of ths vast army of American workers? A. 1133.

fivm Our Readers ——a THE NEW SOCIETY. Professor Donovan, speaking at National Teachers association said: "The time is ripe for the actual organization of a new society.” Amen. what is the “new so:ciety” the new set up; its name, form and parts? Nature abhors a vacuum, so the new must arrive before the old departs. Professor makes one feel that new societies, workable ways of life, are just laying around waiting to be picked. Yet his speech is devoid of proposals, even hints. Under his above announcement, which is critical, not constructive, we might take some old bones from the social history closet, bones of ~-iiie bizarre system which man gladly abandoned. gladly forgot but which yawns and beckons from out the misty past say the Mosaic Theocracy and palm the monstrosity off on our forgetful, depression-weary people, as “new” and a cure-all for earthly trouble. Roget’s Thesaurus gives over fifty such social ghosts, including, in myriad variations: dictatorship, absolutism, depotism, protecturate, caliphate, empire, monarchy, aristarchy, aristocracy, oligarchy, democracy, demogogy, republic, socialism, collection, communism, achlocracy, bureaucracy, statocracy, fuedalism, dinarchy triarchy, duumvirate, triumverate, autocracy, autonomy, limited, constitutional, democraticmonarchy, constitutional, representative, parlimentary, self-govern-ment, monocracy. pantisocracy, monarchism, anarchy, pihilism. lhearchy, God’s Kingdom, Brotherhood, theocracy, eden, churchdoni, church government, heirarchy, christiandom, ecclesiology, and so on. How many do you recognize? Howmany seem new? None are. Either of them could slip in, as “escape” legislation, and then be plenty enforced by temporary dictatorship. Professor says we are “onto” present trends and desire to escape. But he is unduly hopeful until he supplies the constructive note which presents a “new” society; a completer democracy that validates our history and begins where the older democracy leaves off. W.

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

WAWASEE DESCRIBED IN CAS BOOKLET

Young Jack Kitson, two years old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Kitson, has his picture in the August, 1933 edition of The American Motor Traveler, published monthly for the Ohio Oil Co,, and The Lincoln Oil Refining Co., and distributed by concerns at filling stations to guide travelers to interesting points. Last summer Jackie held a 3 pound bass on the dock at the home of his grandfather, J. H. Fleming at Buttermilk Point, after Mr. Fleming caught is and Jackie’s picture was taken. It must have been about that time that Luke Hurst visited Johnson’s hotel, took a picture of the boy and several scenes about Lake Wawasee to illustrate his article op “A Trip to Wawasee, Indiana’s Largest Lake” for the Amer ican Motor Traveler. In addition to photos of lake scenes is a map of Syracuse, Syracuse and Wawasee Lakes with hotels marked, and how these are reached by Roads 6 and 13. The article commences by saying that Hurst had been assigned by the editor to take a two day trip to Lake Wawasee and check up on fishing, conditions. After a description of netting ready, he wrote: “Well we finally got loaded and on our way, arriving r in the evening at Johnson’s hotel on the south shore just in time to get settled around and for me to get into my togs and down to the boat landing. A chap pulled in with the limit of the nicest large mouthed bass I’ve ever seen, and fireside him were two other fellows who had been still fishing and who had a right nice string of blue gills and crappies. “The distinction of being the larg-. est lake in Indiana goes to Lake Wawasee. It covers 3,826 acres and its irregular shore line extends for forty miles, forming many attractive and beautiful bays. It is approximately nine miles long and about three wide and is generally referred .to as a shallow lake, with an average depth of 10 to 30 feet, but there are some kettle holes that drop off to &0 to 75 feet. "There are numerous flats and sunken islands over the entire lake which make it a fisherman’s paradise. Nearly all varieties are to be found in Wawasee but it is most famous for black bass of which there is an abundance of both the large and small mouthed species. “The oldest fish hatchery in the State of Indiana is located at the southeast corner, not far from Johnson’s and many varieties of fish are added each year. “The shores of Lake Wawasee are dotted with hundreds of cottages and palatial summer homes. You can secure most any kind of an accommodation you seek from _jhe most humble cottage to the finest hotels, and rates are accordingly. “I like Wawjasee, principally because it is handy and farther, because along with good fishing you can'* .have an. enjoyable time—for there’s swimming, dancing and plenty of good food everywhere you go. Enuff said!” In addition to the description of Lake Wawasee, the publication has ’articles on tjie Grand Canyon, NewHampshire, Cedar Point, and notices of limerick contests.

I GOLF j Art Merrill’s one club golf tourney to be played off this afternoon on the South Shore Golf course promisee to be amusing. The players were instructed to select a club and play the game with that one club. In some cases the clubs are going to have size and shape. Matty Katzer took the head from J a croquet mallet, fitted in a broom stick as a handle, and plans to play his round using this instrument, and he has a lee>about 4 inches high on which he will place his ball. Some of the men are planning to use adjustable clubs, patented by Bill Kelly, the slant of which can be changed by wrench, screw driver, nails and screwy. Caddies are to carry the tool kits. Following this blind bogey, dinner is to be served the players at The Tavern. Archery Golf made its first appearance on Lake Wawasee, t Saturday, when Howard Lacy Jr. . of Indianapolis played on the South Shore Golf course. Two bows and a bunch of arrows are used by the player. He shoots, his arrow down the fairway, > picks it up and shoots it from where it has fallen and so to the edge of the green. Instead of damaging the green by trying to shoot at a cup, Mr. Lacy had a small wire circle which he placed at the edge each green, and as many shots as took to hit the center of the circle is count ed as the “putts” at each hole. Mr. Lacy was a guest at the South Shore Irin. It is .said this archj&ry golf is coming into favor in Indianapolis and Cincinnati, 0. Twb bows are used, a long one and a sh<j>rt one and eq golf courses where this arch®ry g°lf is played regularly;, near each green a target is placed.' IJ the shot hits the center of the target, its a hole in prie. The tai-jget is marked from the center, so whereever the arrow hits means 2 pqtts or 3, etc. ■ Shorts on women golf players made their first appearance this last week, according to information given the Journal, when girls played the So. Shore Golf course in Boy Scout Shortsj.
