SOCIAL SECURITY VS TOWNSEND PLAN
Congressional action jumped into full swing with the
receipt of the President’s Social Security Plan this week.
With a majority in both houses never before accomplished,
the Democrats are planning on,pttshing through this trem
endous measure calling for the cooperation of the people in
an attempt to provide for future emergencies and the alle
viation of suffering brought about through economic depres
sion. r
A diversion of opinion is gradually growing into a sem
blance of a break over two issues. The President, and his
cabinet committee which prepared a security plan of forty
thousand words, is prepared to put through his own plan
for social security. But in the intervening time since elec
tion, the Townsend Plan, has been brought before the public
which has, in many respects, lined itself up fvfth its propon
ents Numerous congressmen have endorsed this plan which
threatens to bring about a fight in congress. Its drastic
measures calling for the relief of the aged and take care of
unemployed who are no longer able to support Jthemselves,
have received a great measure of support. But so, likewise,
has the President’s plan which in many ways follows closely
the exioms of the Townsend Plan.
_ Progress, as the people of the United States recognize
it, has been made in nearly every detail of their lives, ex
cept one. That one is the care of the destitute and aged.
Not many years agoa the question of the care of the aged
devolved entirely upon the charity institutions established
for their care. Today the National Congress has this ques
tion as its major feature of legislation. What shall result af
ter its passage in Congress, has been prophesied in glowing
terms by leading economists of the nation.
It is a direct example of progress when the one hundred
and twenty-five or thirty million people of the United Stat
es are asked to cooperate for the advancement of sociology
and economic security. We arq still a nation of people and
as people we must learn to cooperate for our future welfare—
that one clause on which the United States of America draws
its power and established right to live as the greatest nation
on the globe today.
FAMILIARITY IN ADVERTISING
Lewis J. Raemon, business manager of the Anniston
(Ala.) Star, says:
“Any newspaper man will tell you that printing names
of people, especially the names of your neighbors and friends
makes a paper rich with human interest. Perhaps next of in
terest to reading about people we know is reading about
things which we own and use or wish to own.
“Advertising brings us news of familiar articles we all
employ or hope to obtain. It enkindles pleasant sensations
as we pause to admire the pictured smart lines of an automo
bile even though priced beyond our means. Ae we read an
advertisement relating the superior shaving qualities of the
very same kind of razor which we used this morning, our
own good judgment is confirmed for selecting that particular
razor. What could be more intimate, more personal or con
cern us more vitally?
“If anyone doubts the fact that interest is aroused by
advertising a simple experiment will demonstrate otherwise.
Into the hands of the doubter place a magazine printed in a
foreign language unknown to him. Let him therein see the
picture or trade-mark of an article or product frequently ad
vertised in our own American publications—it will rise out
of the printed page and catch his eye like an old familiar land
mark. Ask any Doughboy who saw American cigarettes ad
vertised in a French paper if this isn’t true.”

Star’s Part In Sun
day’s Show Covers
Period of 30 Years
“The Secret of Madame Blanche”,
a new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film
with Irene Dunne heading a stellar
cast, will be the feature attraction
at the Dream Theatre for Sunday.
The picture, based on Martin
Brown’s notable stage play. “The
Lady”, is described as presenting a
t vivid cross-section of life and is said
; to offer Miss Dunne the most pow
; erful characterization she has ever
j attempted on the talking screen.
The story which covers a period of
thirty years, first presents Miss Dun
ne as a member of a New York mu
sical show. The production is tak
en to England and the show girl mar
ries a titled young/blade who sub
sequently becomes involved in a ser
ies of complications and commits
suicide. The young widow is left
with a baby son, but she soon loses,
him too for the unsympathetic fath-1
er-in-law takes the child away from,
her by process of law. Then conies
a period of wandering about the cap
itals of Europe until the time of the
World War when she unexpectedly
finds her son during a cafe browl.
A man is killed in the fracas, and to
shield her son, Miss Dunne should
ers the blame without revealing her
identity. An unexpected turn brings
the story to a smash conclusion.
Lionel Atwill plays the role of1
the bitter fahter-in-law and Phillips
Holmes is cast as the young English- j
man who commits suicide. Other
players include Una Merkel, Doug-!
las Walton, C. Henry Gordon, Jean
Parker and Mitchell Lewis. The pic-*
ture was directed by Charles Bra
bin, who last filmed “The Mask of
Fun Manchu.”
