Before X go any further let me
get It Into the record that Im not
a big Coke drinker and never
owned a share of stock in the com-
pany As far as Im concerned the
beverage Is just another American
product like Orange Crush 7Up
or Dr Browns Celery Tonic
By Initiating an anticoke cam-
paign they have given Stalins
stooges a madetoorder excuse
for yelping Down with Ameri-
can imperialism the same
sleaxy slogan used by Commies
everyu bete to divert attention
from the accomplishments of the
Marshall plan
As for the argument that the dis-
tribution of CocaCola would create
unemployment and cut Into prof-
its that too Is a lot of bottletops
The setup of the CocaCola Export
corporation Is such that the entire
manufacture and sale would be
carried out by French personnel
on French territory and under
French supervision and ownership

In the Case of Coca Cola Versus Champagne
The Ban on a Beverage Can Work Both Ways
By BILLY ROSE
No French champagne Is being sold at my night club In New
York and patrons who request same will have to settle for domestic
flzzwater which Is a lot easier on the pocketbook
What gives
The French Communists and CocaCola thats what gives
As you probably know the French national assembly recently patted
a billwhich without naming the product would prohibit the bottling and
sale of CocaCola In France and Its colonies
Two pressure groups were respon-
sible for this measure the wine
Interests which feared that the soft
drink might cut Into their profits
and the Communists who though
they have no love for the vintners
saw an opportunity to take a rabbit
punch at the United States
Suiting invective to word the
Commie paper Lnamanlte un
leased a campaign against the
cocacolonization of the country
loud mouthing
that the basic
syrup is highly
toxic and would
turn La Belle
France Into a na-
tion of cocahoi
let At the same
time the right
wing press front-
ing for the fizz
merchants began
to blab along the
Or to put It another way It would
be the beginning of a new French
Industry and potentially a pretty
big one Judging from the fact that
more than 100000 Americans de-
rive part or all of their Incomes
from the parent company and its
subsidiaries
From where I cogitate It boils
down to this John Q Frenchman
is being denied a choice between
Leftists aided and abetted by the
birdbrain nighties dont like the
Coke and vino only1 because the
country CocaCola comes from
Well Messieurs et Mesdames
two can play at boycott at well
as one and so no French cham-
pagne will be told In my night-
club until the Idiotic ban against
our home product is lifted
Moreover Im hereby appealing
to hotels restaurants and night-
club proprietors all over the coun-
try to follow Suit and to wire or
write me when they do And if
theyd like to explain the boycott
to their customers theyre at lib-
erty to run off reprints of this col-
umn of course crediting this paper
And remember Messieurs et Mes-
dames if that doesnt work we can
get really tough and stop buying
your French postcards
FELIX RETIRES
By Richard H Wilkinson
FELIX BRENDLINGER
WHEN
retired to private life he
ceased to be a figure In May-
field If you took time to analyze
the reason the answer was simple
For 30 years Felix had left his
home on Pleasant street at exactly
733 in the morning walked a quar-
ter mile to the railroad station
boarded the 748
traIn for Long
SMImmU VIeWi and 8pent
Fiction the day In that
l i anf city at a
desk in the insur-
ance offices of Booth GUI and
Dyer Every evening he disem-
barked from the 552 train and re
traveled the quartermile to his
Pleasant street home
Mayfield citizens were used to
the sight of Felix walking briskly
to and from the railroad station
Sometimes some one would ask
him to do an errand In Longvlew
and hed always oblige Frequently
he would deliver choice bits of
news to friends and acquaintances
Booth Gill and Dyer had for their
clients two Jarge steamship lines
and Felix could tell when the boats
arrived in port or when they were
delayed by storms and when Im-
portant personages were arriving
from abroad
There were a hundred and
one things that Tellx could
and did do that achieved for
him a certain recognition
After he retired Felix ceased
to be a figure He wasnt an
especially Imaginative person
nor were his neighbors
The neighbors knew unconscious-
ly that Felix was no longer differ-
ent from any ofthem Felix knew
it too It troubled him It hurt It
made him lonesome It made him
wonder It threatened to develop
In him an inferiority complex
Felix tried hard to find pleasure
In his retirement He planted a
garden and bought some chickens
Youll do no such thing
Felix exclaimed his eyes
gleaming Im catching the
748 In the morning
and oceuplcd his time as much as
he could But It was a physical oc-
cupation and this gave htm plenty
of opportunity to think Eventually
his thinking changed to brooding
and the brooding nourished the
growing Inferiority complex
Felixs wife noticed the change
She tried to talk to him to leam
the source of his moodiness But
ellx couldnt explain It He felt a
little ashamed and didnt want to
talk
Another month passed and
Felixs wife began to think he
was a case for the family doc-
tor Then one day a letter ar-
rived from Booth GUI and
Dyer They wanted to know If
Felix would consider coming
In for it few days to assist in
straightening out some mat-
ters about which they consid-
ered him an expert
The Idea Felixs wife ex
claimed Dont they know but of
course they dont 111 write Im-
mediately and tell them how poor
ly you arel
Youll do no such thing Felix
exclaimed eyes gleaming Im
catching the 748 in the morning
JOB lasted three weeks
THE
During that time Felix became
a figure once more People became
used to him going back and forth
to the train Unconsciously they
fell Into the old routine of asking
him to do errands and demanding
choice bits of news Felix was hap
py again He beamed He put on
weight He felt important He was
important
On the day that Felix finished
up the special work Mr Gill ap-
proached him
Felix how aboutj staying on
with us awhile Youre noV bid
enough to retire We need you
hereNeed
Need me
As long as youll stay Oh
I realize that sooner or later
well have to get along without
your help but none or us real-
ized how Important you were
Felixs face glowed Thanks
Mr Gill You couldnt have said
anything that would make me hap-
pier But as far as staying with
you Is concerned Im afraid Ill
have to turn down the offer You
see Ive got some chickens and a
garden out home that need my at-
tention And well now Ill be
able to retire with a clear con-
science

lis People
Are Human
By William R Nelson
MEMBERS of this and all other
newspaper staffs are victims of
thatquirk of human mature so well
expressed by the axiom which
asserts that An expert is a man
away from home Newspaper
people are very much at home
here so they are seldom looked
upon as experts But they are ex-
perts and specialists In a wide
variety of occupations and profes-
sions all of them vitally Important
to this community
A home town newspaper such
as this one Is published only
through the teamwork of people
of many skills It Is doubtful If any
other business or institution In the
community surpasses the newspa-
per In its complexity In the varied
nature of the expert knowhow its
operation requires
Modern drug
Teamwork stores which
of require a com
Skills blnatlon of
merchandising
and professional aptitudes come
closest to the newspaper in the
variety of demands made upon
staffs But in addition to merchan-
dising and professional abilities
comparable to those of the drug-
store the newspapers people must
also have mechanical understand
ing and skill of a hfgh order
Newspaper mechanical staff
people must know both ho to oper
ate a variety of machines and how
to maintain and repair them
Editorial staff members are spe
cialists who perform their dally
duties within the restricting con-
fines pf a code of ethics fully as
binding as are those of other pro
fessions They must have ability
a liking for people knowledge of
words a feeling for art Insatiable
curiosity willingness to wjrk all
hours under pressure and be fa
miliar with mechanical practices
and limitations of the printing plant
While sharing
Always with their
on neighbors the
Duty enjoyment of a
co mmun ity
event the editorial worker must al
so cover It taking notes names
dates and data so that while others
relax afterward the story of the
event can be written The editor
and reporter like doctors are on
duty every hour of every day
Members of the advertising and
business office staffs too are spe-
cialists each in his or her own wajr
And they too are important to
the community

HOW ME YOU FIXED
FOR BEES
ELMER TWITCHELLS had
THE
quite atime with a piece of
census mall that arrived yesterday
They can take questions In their
stride like most folks but the ones
In this census form baffled them
The first questlqn Elmer noticed
was this
Were any bees owned by you fn
1849
This was a new one Nobody
had ever asked Elmer that before
by mall phone letter or personal
call He hesitated to answer too
quickly Ha remembered seeing
sohfb bees In the summer of 1049
Could there be guilt by association
Did yon see any bees In
1949 he asked the wife
Any what
Bees yon know
bnzzss buzsxs
No 1949 was our wasp
year replied the wife 1
thought yon knew +
Tin not kidding Elmer In
sisted This Is a census blank
Look It also asks It we owned
bees how many
Beading from left to right or
vertical asked Mrs Twttchell
And It asks how many hives
did we have and what we made
from honey and wax
I cant recall any honey in the
last fiscal year but Im not sure
about wax The government
shouldnt bring up a matter like
wax so abruptly Just say no and
tell em we are the hornet type
now about ewes asked
Elmer
Watch your grammar said
the wire
This Is spelled ewe What
Is a ewe
It Is one of the vowels Dont
tell me Washington Is count-
ing them I Jo it pat down that
we had two ewes one new and
one used ewe
It asks here If we had any
rams or wethers around
pressed Elmer
I couldnt be sure This neigh-
borhood Is getting less and less re-
stricted said the wife
Did we own any rabbits goats
geese ducks or pigeons
We had a pigeon during the
first quarter I didnt know Wash
ington cared
What about profits from nuts
fruits romalne plmlentos chic
ory and escarole Elmer was
still reading from the form
I made a killing in chicory But
the escarole was Jn your name
said the wife
Here the keepers entered and
took the Twitch ells away They are
looking for the government offi
cials who sent them the census
form headed This Is Your Agri
cultural Census Blank Answer all
questions clearly and honestly
