United Press International London (UFD It was the en vious Sassius who said of Jul ius Caesar: "Upon what meat does this our Caesar feed that he is grown so great?" There are times when the British seem to feel the same way about the United States- perhaps, from their point of view, with some reason. First, the bustling giant from overseas elbowed them out of the center of the world stage at the end of the 1914-18 war. Then, with every passing year, they have seen the influ ence of the former colonies push and thrust into corners of the globe that used to look only to Britain. Most of the British, a civil ized and tolerant people, rec ognize this as the same tide of history which once swept them to world supremacy and accept it. What they find harder to ac cept, however, is the Ameri can cultural invasion of the British homeland. A letter to a periodical from a reader once put it perfectly: Isn t there some . British way of saying 'hot dog'? The writer thus plaintively expressed the irritation so many of his countrymen feel at the eager acceptance by the masses of the American way of life they see in films and on television. Retanimtni This resentment crops up in newspapers and magazines. It runs In cycles. At its mildest it is apt to be a querulous complaint about British actors or actresses using "midatlan tic accents" or a suggestion that coal fires (British) are better than central heating (American). At its most severe it can alarm those Amerilcans who have not been here long enough to realize that this snapping and snarling has no connection with the basic An glo-American feeling that the other is a good fellow to have around in time of trouble. "I wish we could stop fall ing for the American image quite no wholesale," said the Sunday Express recently. "It is enough these days only to put the word 'American' in front of anything from a kitch en to a space ship, a fashion to a TV serial, a luxury home to labor relations-for the British to back out bowing' all the way." The newspaper wanted to know why the British applied adjectives such as "boyish, handsome, charming" to Pres ident Kennedy and "dodder ing, square, droopy" to Prime Minister Macmilian. The newspaper said Brit ain's most popular TV pro grams featured an elderly po liceman, a group of rough and ready Liverpool cops and an old junk dealer and his son "cheating, fiddling, crafty and dirty." In contrast, it said, as por trayed on American television and in films and musicals, American men are splendid, brave, warm, generous and human. TV lawyers like Sam Benedict and Perry Mason are so soft-hearted they some times turn down fees. TV med icos like Dr. Ktldare always cure their patients. TV mar shals may be sentimental but they always get their man. And American TV criminals even have a streak of honesty. Although the article did not mention it, American TV shows are also among the Fort Rock Bronze Marker Stolen Fort Rock-OIPD-The bronze marker mounted at the en trance of Fort Rock Cave when it became a national historical landmark last month has been stolen, rancher Reuben Long has re ported. Long, who owns the land on which the cave is located, said the marker was pried loose from a large bolder and stolen sometime before July 18. It was first reported miss ing by a Pendleton family. State police are investigating. Smokey Sayt: I wiNmt woo umy RL JJ M I whin you ml tarVi .. .KEEP IP THE GOOD most popular on British tele vision. There was a time earlier this century and extending to very few years ago when the British popular press built up mis stereotype of an Ameri can: money - grabbing, loud, boastful, flashily-dressed. Cartoonists still tend to de pict the overseas visitor in a violent tie, a broad-brimmed hat and always with a camera slung over his shoulder. But much of the bite has gone out of the characteriza tion, possibly because there has been such a tremendous influx of American tourists recently that the Britons can see for themselves that this type is the exception not the rule. British columnists, writing from the United States, still tend, however, to emphasize the odd and off-beat in Amer ican life, to stress sex and crime, rowdyism and teen-age delinquency in preference to more serious study of the big friend across the sea. They give items which may be true of small groups or areas, a broad national sweep. Interspersed with the digs and the more serious howls that can follow any political happening in which Britain feels it has been slighted (such as the dropping of Skybolt) are instances of the underly ing friendliness. Mrs. Kennedy - always "Jackie" in print - is genu inely liked. The most widely circulated newspaper in the country, the Daily Mirror, made President Kennedy its 1962 man of the-year. ' But this doesn't ever mean it's closed season on the Unit ed States. One of the new hit musicals in the West End of London is titled: "An Evening of British Rubbish." A member of the company, John Mahoney, was asked about the curious name. "It may be rubbish," he said, "but at least it's good British rubbish and not a for eign import." . For "foreign" read "Amer ican." 4-H NEWS Nuity Nitten Needles The last meeting of ' the Nutty Nitten Needles 4-H club was held July 23 at the home of the leader Mrs. Varner. The meeting was held in the yard and refreshments of Kool - aid and cookies were served by Conny Varner. Miss Jeanne Caddick from Vancouver, B.C. was a visitor. We collected food for a family in our neighborhood because the father was In the hospital. It was decided that we all collect clothing to be donated to the county detention home. This will be a community project. We practiced on our contest for the fair and also worked on our projects. Sandra Mayfield, Reporter.
