Campaign for Funds To Immortalize
Name of George Bernard Shaw Fizzles
Ayot St. Lawrence, England
(L'.R) At the end of a sleepy
lana in this little hamlet is the
red - brick Victorian mansion
from which George Bernard
Shaw departed this life nearly
five years ago.
This is a story of disappoint
ment. When Shaw died, in Novem
ber of 1950, they dimmed the
lights of Broadway for a few
moments because the theater
had lost a great playwright.
Audiences stood up in silence
in Australia.
Corrpared with Shakespeare
Kings . . . Prime ministers...
presidents ... paid their re
spects. Shaw was compared with
Shakespeare.
He had died, finally, at the
age of 93, and men of letters
On The Side
By E. V. Durling
(Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.)
The tides shall cease to beat the
shore.
The stars fall from the sky;
let I will love you more and
more
Until the day I die, my dear
Until the day I die.
Brooks.
The battle of the sexes con
' tinues bitterly waged. Especially
by the female sex. A steadily in
creasing number of literary
ladies are referring to their sex
as "the superior sex." Some go
even further. To emphasize their
point, they refer to the male as
"the inferior sex." One of the
girls referred to a man as an
"incomplete female." To which,
she added that most men have
an inferiority complex because
they cannot give birth to a baby.
How about it. Mister, do you
feel depressed or inferior be
cause you can't be the star at a
blessed event?
Get It Right
As a musical film versionof
"Quo Vadis" is inevitable, it is
important to know exactly what
. musical instrument Nero played
while Rome burned. It was a
' Greek lyre. Incidentally, Nero
also fancied himself as'a singer.
He entered singing competitions.
He brought along about 10,000
hired applauders. When Nero
finished a song, these applauders
clapped, cheered and screamed
hysterically the same as modern
radio and television studio au
diences do. Nero's concerts last
ed three hours. Nobody was per
mitted to leave before one of the
emperor's concerts was over ex
cept expectant mothers. At one
concert, three men were dis
covered disguised as expectant
mothers. They were sentenced
to prison for life.
Asking
Queries from clients: Q. Do
you recall the song titled "I
Couldn't Make My Feelin's Be
have"? A. I believe Sophie
Tucker introduced the ditty you
mention. Q. What was the
name of the large hat Lillian
Russell popularized?, A. The
Gainsborough hat. This was simi
lar to the hat worn by the Duch
ess of Devonshire when she
posed for Gainsbprough. The
painting can be seen in the Met-
Higher Electrical Code
Budget Gets Approval
Salem (U.R) A joint ways
and means subcommittee has ap
proved $305,571 for the electri
cal code division of the State
Labor Bureau. The division had
asked for $185,470.
Sen. Francis Ziegler of Corval
lis explained that it apparently
was a case of authorizing more
funds or suspending operation of
the electrical code. He said it was
based largely on employment of
several electrical inspectors and
other employes.

Horses and Women
It was Oliver Wendell Holmes
who first referred to an after
noon tea gathering of females as
"giggle-gabble-gobble-git." Mr.
Holmes voiced that crack about
eighty years ago but it is still
a good description of an after
noon gathering of women. Few
women have the gift of brev
ity in talking. They use too many
words, especially adjectives.
Asides
One of the major causes of
people suffering from slipped
discs is the way some modern
chairs are constructed. That's
what a physician who has done
much experimenting and re
search on the matter claims.. . .
What type of trees, If any, are
very near your house? Do you
know some trees are more likely
to be struck by lightning than
others? Oak is first in this re
spect. Then in the order named,
elm, ash, poplar and pine.
Wild Section
. What rates the wildest night
life section in any major city in
the history of the United States?
New Yorkers generally claim it
was that part of Manhattan
known as "The Tenderloin." I be
lieve tops in wild night life was
San Francisco's Barbary Coast
Incidentally, in the heyday of the
Barbary Coast, the following
news item dealing with a hap
pening in that section appeared
in a local paper: "Kanaka Pete
of the What Cheer House shot
Cockroach of the Little Silver
Dollar in a fight in the Eye Wink
dance hall over a woman known
as Iodoform Kate." .
GETTING ALONG .
Hartford, Conn. (U.R)
Michael Delia Ferra told friends
at his birthday party that "I
guess I'm getting old." He turned
100.
said his place in literary history
was assured.
Almost immediately a $700,
000 "Shaw Memorial Campaign"
was started. Eminent people all
over the world gave their sup
port. But not their money. The
memorial campaign never got
off the ground.
There were to be Shaw
scholarships for promising play
wrights ... a repertory theater
devoted to Shaw's plays ... a
fund to maintain his home as a
museum.
One year after Shaw died the
"campaign" was quietly wound
up. Less .than $2800 had been
collected.
The national trust which was
going to run the Shaw museum
has had to offer the place for
rent. . ,
Pilgrimages Lacking
The pilgrimages to the Shaw
home which his admirers en
visioned have never material
ized. A few sightseers occasion
ally gape at the house, but they
seem more inclined to wander
into the 500-year-old pub for a
drink. -
Ayot is hard to get to, except
by car, which is one reason
Shaw chose it as a place to live.
Another reason was the local
graveyard, where Shaw had
noticed an epitaph for an 83-year-old
woman. The stone said
she had been "cut off before her
time."
"Any place that considers 83
the prime of life, said Shaw,
was the place for him.
ANPA President
Blasts Wilson for
Censorship Urge
New York (U.R) The presi
dent of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association today
blasted Secretary of Defense
Charles E. Wilson for restricting
information. He said the great
est concern , of the American
press was "the ever present urge
to censorship and a limiting of
news sources.
Richard W. Slocum, ANPA
president and executive vice
president of the Philadelphia
Bulletin, spoke af the publish
ers' 69th annual, meeting at the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel here. He
said the association' maintained
"a questioning attitude toward
everybody who occupies a place
of power."
Calls for Chang
""We shall hope that our well
intentioned secretary of defense
will quickly see the error in his
recent resort to censorship in an
effort to check alleged secret
leaks," Slocum said.
"This is not to say we do not
trust and respect and even ad
mire public servants," Slocum
said.
"But experience has shown
that the power of government in
some people brings resentment
of the operation of a free press."
He expressed his approval of
"the critical eye and voice of
our readers" but lashed out at
the "complaints of a few dis
appointed and disgruntled parti
sans, even at an ex-President."
The latter part of his state
ment obviously referred to for
mer Presidetn Truman's remark
last week that the nation had "a
one-party press" favoring Presi
dent Eisenhower.
Union Leaders Condemned
Slocum condemned the lead
ers of some newspaper unions
who, he said, were "pussyfoot
ing" and "looking the other way
when their members are not
living up to their contract work
obligations."
"The death of the Brooklyn
Eagle, the deaths of some other
newspapers with strikes as the
executioner, are shocking
things," Slocum said. "They
must not be passed over lightly.
It is a shameful blot on the rec
ord of normally stable news
paper unions when their mem
bership joins in concerted ac
tion,' in violation of contractual
commitments, particularly so
when the immediate result is the
death of a voice of expression
to- the people."

WASHDAY WAS DRUDGERY in Grandmother's dsyvwr. long hours of sweating,
straining, back-breaking work. Today's bousewift uses a modern washer and dryer.
Manufacturers have reduced washday chores to a tyrn of a dial..
But to mass produce millions of washers and dryers, manufacturers must
be able to sell them by the millions. Only by advertising can a manu
facturer talk to millions of people at one time.;
ADVERTISING TELLS the story of new home appliances ... and helps sell them;
The more it sells, the more must be made keeping the production lines and the Jobs
going. The result:5 newer, better home appliances at prices more people can afford
to pay.- Advertising helped make the difference in home appliances, and In our
American way of life.
