America Only
National Love
Cairo (U.R) The United
States seems to be the only
country in the world where love
is regarded as a national prob
lem. No other people in the
world devote as much time to
the study of relations between
man and woman as the Ameri
cans do."
This is one of the impressions
which George Aziz, foreign ed
itor and columnist of the lead
ing Egyptian newspaper Al-Ah-ram,
brought back from a 10
week tour of the United States.
Aziz has recorded his impres
sions in a book "America The
House of Goha." (Goha is a leg
endary comic sheik in Arab folk
lore whose house is a labyrinth
where one loses one's way.)
All Ought To Have Love
Aziz says Americans tend to
believe that the idea ' of love
should be "sold like any com
modity" because they think that
love is "something which every
body ought to have." The major
ity of Americans, he says, mar
ry for love and almost all their
songs are about love.
Contrary to the impression
foreigners get from American
films and publications about
Hollywood, Aziz notes, most Am
erican women are brunettes not
blondes, and most of their men
prefer them that way. They are
also shapely enough to attract
Orientals, he says.
Aziz stresses the "magnitude
and diversity of life in the Unit

ed States. What strikes him most
about the American character
generally is an optimistic out
look upon life, an extrovert na
ture, a spirit of free competi
tion and friendliness towards
foreigners.
Washington, Aziz thinks, is an
"odd" city. Although it is the
capital of the greatest democ
racy, he explains, its inhabi
tants do not have the right to
vote, and although it is the
capital of the biggest industrial
country in the world, it has very
few factories and the tempo of
life in it is comparatively slow.
Another surprising thing about
Washington, Aziz says, is that
it has 10 women for every eight
men.
The writer discusses some as
pects of American domestic pol
itics and foreign policy.
"The Communists would be
making a big mistake if they
believe they can bring about an
upheaval or a revolution in Am
erica," he writes. "Conditions
which breed revolt do not exist
there . . . There are no traces of
any general discontent or rebel
lious tendencies and there are
no subversive activities to speak
of. The reason is that social jus
tice prevails everywhere."
Another reason, Aziz adds, is
that "capital has become the
slave of the community and not
its master as the Communists
claim."

'Grossman of Year1
Contest Offers Prizes
Portland (U.R) T h e Pacific
Northwest "G r a s s m a n of the
Year" contest sponsored by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce
will offer $1500 prizes this year.
The chamber said the regional
winner chosen from Washington,
Idaho and Oregon grassmen
would receive a $1000 irrigation
system, or other equipment of
like value. The contest closes in
the fall.
The Oregon grassman title
would be worth $300.
American press: "It can be said
that American newspapers play
ed an important role in bring
ing the United States out of its
isolation and evoking American
interest in world affairs."
Aziz says that he went to the
United States with the precon
ceived idea that materialism
permeated all walks of life
there because of over-industrialization,
.and that Americans
were "ruled by the dollar." But
he found out that this was
wrong.
"The American citizen's mo
tive in working hard and seek
ing the highest possible material
profit," Aziz says, "is his keen
desire to raise his living stan
dards and to lead a comfortable
and prosperous life."

A letter signed "Jerry" came
to the post office the other day
for Ray Williams. It was from
Brig. Gen. William L. Lee, with
the letterhead "Headquarters
Thirteenth Air Force Office of
the Commander." Ray had writ
ten him as an old friend before
"Jerry" Lee became the "Tough
est Guy in the Air Force."
"Glad that you liked the story
in the Saturday Evening Post,"
General Lee wrote. "Some parts
of it are not exactly accurate,
but close enough. I can't agree
with Sherrod that I am the
'Toughest Guy in the Air Force'
because I know several that I
think are tougher in more ways
than one.
"Guess he hung such a title on
the story to attract attention to
it. And, I must say that it did
because I've been getting many
letters from friends and from
many people that I do not know,
about the story."
The letter, in a reminiscent
vein continues:
"Has been some 28 years since
I saw you and the old world
has turned around many times
since then. Many things have
happened in the interim, but by
and large, I've had good sailing
and have no regrets about the
past. Don't believe that I would
make any changes if I had it all
to do over.,
"You mentioned the foreman I
was working for at Wink. His
name was John Drummond. The
last I heard of him several years
ago, he -was still with the Texas
Electric Service company and
was living in Midland, Texas.
"I had already graduated from
Texas A&M college when I was
at Wink. When I left there, I
went to the flying school at
Brooks Field, San Antonio,
Texas. This was in February,
1928.

incapacitated, but it appears that

(Distributed by King
Secretary for the same man
for thirty-two and one-half
years! That is the record of
Mary Butler, who for that period
has been. the "Girl Friday" of
William F. Bowe, distinguished
barrister of Flushing, Long. Is
land. Am trying to get Mr. Bowe
to do some experting for our
Horses & Women department on
the subject of "How to Keep a
Secretary Happy." I may also
ask Miss Butler to furnish a
few helpful hints for other sec
retaries among our readers on
the best way of buttering up
the boss.
Young Mothers
Baltimorean says she is only
19 and is the mother of five
children. That's quite' a family
for a teen-ager mamma. How
ever, it is not the record. A
Chicagoan was the mother of
nine children at the age of 19!
She was married at 13, had trip
lets at 14, twins at 15, twins at
17 and twins at 19.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
is the most valuable asset of a
race horse? A. Best characteris
tic a race horse can have is con
trollable speed. The best horses
run as asked to by the jockey.
They conserve their speed when
asked to and turn it on when
the jockey wants them to. Q.
Ever hear a song titled "To
Have, To Hold, To Love?" A.
Yes, indeed. That was one of
Ernest Ball's best songs. It could
stand a revival.
Among the Married
Is your wife a speed girl as
a home manager? How veil is
she informed on housekeeping
efficiency? Regarding how long
it should take a woman to do
her housework a domestic effi
ciency expert says it should be
rigured on the basis of half an
hour for each room plus one
hour for each small child. As
for example, if a woman has
a six .room house and two small
children her housework should
be done in five hours.
Early Start
When Bob Feller was 7, his
father started him . practicing
pitching. When Bobby Jones was
7, his father gave him a set of
golf clubs for Christmas. If you
want your son to be a champion
or a star in baseball, football
or golf you better get him inter
ested in the chosen sport very
early in life.

erans in such a manner, and I'm
sure that all those who have
taken advantage of the facilities,
appreciate it.
"My boss has asked me to put
in four years in the Philippines
and I have agreed to do so. Wash
ington has approved me staying
on. Since we have been here 32
months now, we will be around
until August, 1956, unless some
body changes their mind in the
interim. There are many worse
places than here, and I might as
well stay put where I am wanted,
instead of taking a chance on
getting reassigned to some place
that is not so good."
The letter closes with "very
best wishes and kindest regards."

- An exaggerated statement? Sure... but no
one likes the draggy, knocked-out feeling that
results from harsh dieting. Yet many people
seem to reduce comfortably, seem never to lose
strength and vitality while they lose pounds.
