“MY ANCESTORS MET THE
MAYFLOWER” WAS FAMOUS
SAVING LATE WILL ROGERS
(By The Associated Press)
HOLLYWOOD. Aug. 17. — Rogers who once said lie
studied the Fourth Reader for ten years, claimed he didn't
know much about books—“All I know is what I read in the
papers”—he often remarked.
It was from the daily press that the actor and humorist
gathered material upon which he based his opinions and
philosophy. He is a true American. There was Indian blood
in his veins.
“Maybe my ancestors didn't come over on the Mayflow
er, but they met the boat,” he once declared.
He greeted the offer to write a daily column for news
papers in the country with the remarks. “Aw! I can’t write
but I’ll try.’” He incidentally became one of the two highest
paid syndicate writers in the world._
