Most people would be better off if they spent their money on a budget plan. The Palatka News thinks the duke of Wirdsor sold his birthright for a mess of “pettage.” : Life has its fun. If you don’t believe this watch two men argue about something neither knows anything about. Raymond Moley says that no_ poli: tician ever ereated a more abundant life. That's right; but they live a more abund- ant life with their abundant pay checks. 2 A New Year’s resolution which un- questionably has merit, is to resolve to spend just‘a little less than you make. Then you will have something for the in- evitable rainy day. ———______. England’s traditional policy of ruling the waves will be extended to the air with | a tremendous program of building and sub- | sidy which wilil circle the globe with British aircraft. Now is the accepted time for the United States to Jnake its power felt in the air; We have,the ability, andi the money to do this; why? permit any otNéF nation i lead the ways" BIG sete} !

That is easier said than done, for accumulating economic worries have a telling-effect on our nervous sys- tem. Honest folks, particularly, fear the notes and rents due or overdue, property foreclosures, pyramiding taxes, doctors’ bills, and other insecurities of life. Since the European governments owe the United States considerable money on their world war debts and claim depleted ! treasury chests, they could give us some- thing besides money on account, but ask France to give us the Normandie, England the Queen Mary, Ilaly the Rex, and poz the people of those nations howl. Nations{ are like individuals, quite affable andj] patronizing until the axe is ground, then they show their true color. Quod Erat Demonstrandum. I love | animals, but I hate animal lovers—Mus- solini. Since Mussolini loves animals he is an animal lover; ergo, Musselini hates himself. As a matter of fact we think the Italian dictator thinks very well of him- self.—Key West Citizen. It’s too bad the Ethiopian human beings weren’t animals. —P. E. B. in Tampa Tribune. Yes, it is; for in that ease Mussolini would have loved them, and they would have had al chance. 4 00; -promptu,” and Paderéwski’s :own “Min ‘month of death, were: PADEREWSKI AT~76 Ignace Jan Pederewski, who for many years was recognized as the worid’s great- est. pianist, celebrated his 76th birthday ‘on November 6, just after completing his first moving picture, “Moonlight Sonata,” in England. He spent six weeks making the scenes of the film, in which he plays five concert numbers, i “The pie¢es selected, for, the,,,picture | are Beethoven's»: ‘Moonlighti’ Sonata;” Liszt’s “Second » Hungarian Rha psoily,”” Chopin’s ‘ “Polonaise,” Schubert's “Im- uet,” all old favorites, known ‘td 1évérs good music the world.over. of The great Polish musician did not‘es- } pecially enjoy his experience in “making | the film, it is said, and does not expect to | make another. The long waits between | scenes, the exactions of the camera men} and the glare of the kleig lights worried | him. Since finishing the picture he has returned to his home in Switzerland. During his 76 years Paderewski has had a notable career as_ pianist, teacher and composer. Although he began to study the piano at the age of 3, he did not make his formal debut as a concert pianist -outside his native country until he was 27, when he appeare in/Vienna. His first concert in this country. was given ini New York in 1891, since’ which time he has made 11 tours of the United States, and has played in most of the leading cities of the world with unbounded suc- cess. Besides his activities as a musician, he developed high qualities of statesman- | ship, aiding in the formation of the re- public of Poland after the World War, and serving several months as.its first premier. Aifter the new republic was well estab- lished he resumed his concert tours. While the new film in which he plays does not represent Paderewski at the height of his power as a pianist, it will be enjoyed by his many admirers throughout the world who have heard him in the past, as well as by other millions to whom his name is a synonym for artistic perfection. DEATHS OF 1936 € «a Like every other year, 1936 -brought death to many persons of prominence throughout the United States and the} world. Some of the most eminent Amer- icans who died during the year, with the January—John Gilbert, actor; George W. Wickersham, lawyer; O. K. Allen governor of Louisiana. February—Charles Curtis, former | vice-president; Henry Justin Smith, Chi-| cago editor; Hiram P. Maxim, inventor; Albert C. Ritchie, former governor of Maryland. H April—Howard Thurston, magician; James M. Beck, lawyer. May—Park Trammell, senator; A. Mitchell Falmer, lawyer. June—Cyrus H. McCormick; Speaker Joseph W. Byrns; Duncan U. Fletcher, senator; John Hays Hammond, Sr. July—S. Parkes Cadman, clergyman; Louis Murphy, senator, Elleh Fitz Pendle- ton, edtiéator. August—J.' J. McSwain, military com- mittee chairman; Lincoln Steffens, writer; George H. Dern, secretary of war; Floyd B. Olson, governor of Minnesota. September — Ossip Gabrilowitsch musician; Admiral W. S. Sims; Irving Thalberg, producer: October—Anna Macy, teacher of Helen Keller; Lorado Taft, sculptor; James Couzens, senator, November — Chic Sale, comedian; Clark Howell, Atlanta editor; Ernestine Schumann-Heirk, contralto; Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, oldest American actress. ,December—Peter Norbeck, senator; Arthur Brisbane, editor: Foreign notables who died during the year included King George Vy Rudyard Kipling; Earl Beatty, British admiral; Eleutherios. Venizelos, Greek, . statesman, and Louis Bleriot, first to fly English Chan- nel. : A complete list of national and inter- national figures who died would be a long one, but those mentioned were among the best known. The Tampa cigar output is estimated at 350,000,000. A lot of wealth going up in smoke; but that destruction is better than plowing under.—Key West Citizen. Helps the match business, too.—Tampa Tribune, The airplane has one marked ad- vantage over all other forms of com- mercial transportation — its greater speed, Commercial airplanes readily attain speeds 150 miles or more per hour. This is three times the speed customarily maintained by railroad trains and commercial motor vehicles, and four times the speed reached by the fastest ocean liners, such as the Norman- die. The air- plane realizes asavingin time not only because of its greater speed, but because the distance be- tween centers of travel is less by air than by rail or highway. For ex- ample, the distance from New York to Chicaen is 20% less by air than by rail. The airplane has the advantage also ‘of being able to render frequent serv~ ice. Like the motor bus and truck it is a small traffic unit, and it can give more frequent service, in relation to the traffic handled, than’ can rail- road trains and ocean liners, which are large traffic units. The disadvantages of airplanes are more numerous. As a method of trans- portation they are relatively unsafe. In 1934 the passenger miles flown per passenger fatality on scheduled air transport operations were 10,72/,000. The passenger miles per passenger fatality by motor bus are about six times greater, and by rail at least forty times greater. Air tansporta- tion is thus not nearly so safe as bus and rail transportation. None the less air transportation by the scheduled (Address questions to the author care of this newspaper) Today’s Birthdays Carrie Chapman Catt of New: Rochelle, N.
