DEVOTION TO DUTY
On the day following former President Hoover’s
retirement to private life, the Portland Oregonian said:
“Herbert Clark Hoover, who will be 81 years old
in August, can look back on a public career that has
had few, if any, parallels in the history of the republic.
“When Mr. Hoover left the presidency in 1933, he
had even then reached an age when most men look
toward retirement and the tranquil satisfaction of a
sequestered life. But Mr. Hoover never laid aside his
vital concern with the nation’s fortunes at home and
abroad. . . .
“Herbert Hoover should have the warm gratitude
of all Americans for his extraordinary and unselfish
devotion to public duty. . . .”
Mr. Hoover has always stressed the philosophy of
government upon which this nation was founded and
which has been the true source of its strength and well
being. Not long ago he expressed that philosophy in a
sentence when he said: “The remedy is to restore the
checks and balances of power, to reinvigorate state and
local governments and to deflate the bureaucratic em
pires.
Hatfield, Pa., Times: “A $2,500 auto made by hand
would cost $17,500. .. .and consequently there would
be very little automobile production. Because of greater
productivity per man, we have so much more for so
much less, that millions can buy things which they
could not otherwise afford. With the passing of time,
tools and machinery have gradually replaced muscular
effort. Today 90 percent of our total energy is mechani
cal, 10 percent muscular. Without efficient equipment
and machinery, our workers could produce little more
than their grandfathers. Machines don’t make a few
things for a few rich families. Mass production means
mass distribution, mass consumption. More machines
mean more goods for more people!”

Hometown Happy
As 252-Pounder
Swims Channel
CALAIS, France, UP)—“Get in
the water and have a go—or come
home and face the music.”
That, in effect, is what the
people of Bloxwich, England, told
swimming pool manager Bill
Picketing Friday on the Dover
side of the English Channel.
So he got into the water.
Saturday morning—14 hours 6
minutes later—he walked out of
the water on the French side.
Big Bill, a 32-year-old, 252
pounder, said he was making the
swim “simply to satisfy the peo
ple of Bloxwich.” His hometown
raised 350 pounds ($980) for his
expenses.
He had been waiting around
Dover four weeks for favorable
weather. Friday a deputation from
Bloxwich told him to get going or
get home.
His crossing, in heavy seas for
part of the way, was the first this
year from England to France.
“I am only sorry I didn’t break
the record,” he said, “but I did
what I could considering the
channel conditions.”
The record of 13 hours, 45 min
utes was set by Egyptian Abd El
Litif Abou Heif Aug. 2, 1953.
