John L. The Hero
For years now, the columnists, commentators and press in general have been telling us that John L. Lewis is the most hated man in America. Cartoonists fill up pages with pictures of John Q. Public giving John L. the razzberry. It is darkly hinted that even his United Mine Workers respect, but do not love, John L. Lewis.
Come to think of it, we've never talked with many people who were obsessed with hatred for the mine worker's chief. Maybe they're puzzled by his actions, but hate him? Well, no.
Maybe they're puzzled. We have a new theory. We think that the people secretly admire John L. We think that he is actually a hidden hero in the hearts of a great many of us. You've heard people chuckle at his latest outburst against the mine operators. There's no denying that Lewis has a spiced tongue and that he knows how to use it.
Lewis has a spice tongue In many ways, he stands for the little man talking back to the Big man. Anyone who has ever been fired from a job or bawled out by the boss takes a clandestine delight when John L. makes the mighty and once aloof mine owners quake with fear.
way the government is treating their business.
Dozens of testimonials from the "little fellow" have been printed—each of them deploring the anti-trust suit with which the government is "persecuting" the big food chain. Someone has said that the A&P is actually "persecuting" the government with its big ads, but that is beside the point. Another spokesman for the little man has now appeared in the person of George Burger, vice president of the National Federation of Independent Business.
For this, his union undoubtedly loves him. And, as we said,
we have a suspicion that the public is rather fond of the man
with the big eyebrows. ___
According to the giant full-page advertisements with which the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea company is flooding the country, the small, independent grocers of America frown on the way the government is treating their big brother, the A&P.
Burger claims that his group will take action to counteract the A&P propaganda. The association has bought space in several newspapers, and will emphasize the fact that the present action against the A&P is a civil action to prevent the chain from continuing criminal acts of which the company has already been convicted.
The Other Side
Of course, the ads will be small and scarce when compared to A&P's rigantic campaign. Advertising is expensive.
An interesting footnote is that only one newspaper in Washington, D.C., would carry the ads of the small business man. Three other papers, which had printed A&P ads wouldn't touch those telling the other side of the story.
Once there was a little pig who went to college. He loved football—but he always said he didn't have time to practice with the team. Instead he just went out and rooted. In fact, he spent so much time rooting for the football team that he never got his lessons.
Another Fable
At the same college there was an eager beaver who also loved football. But he always took time to get his lessons. When he graduated, he went into the meat packing business and made a fortune.
The rest of the pig went to the meat factory and was made into pork chops, sausage and ham. The beaver sold the meat to his customers and made more money.
The poor little pig never did graduate; but he still enjoyed the football games. One day he died without a penny to his name. The team took his skin and made a football, feeling that he could rest easier if he finally got into the game.
Moral: You may have a lot of fun just kicking around, but you have to be industrious to bring home the bacon.

"Five K.U. sororities list a number of places within the county where members may drink." That rumbling noise we hear is Carry Nation straining to rise from the dead.
"The repeal of prohibition was cited by six sorority presidents as having resulted in more lenient regulations," and the sophomore wolf wants a test case on the Mann act, which he's sure is unconstitutional.
'Small Things'
The Homecoming queen candidates gave the "best judge" a tinkfoul crown, but after the winner is announced, he's liable to be crowned with something else.

Insect Pictures On Display Now
Photographs of bees, ants, and wasps are being displayed on the second floor of the University Art museum until Wednesday, Nov. 23. The pictures were taken by "Life" photographers Wallace Kirkland and Andreas Feininger.
One series shows nests of the white-faced hornet. The ancestors of these wasps were the world's first paper makers. They chewed bits of wood to make tough paper nests, millions of years before man learned the art of paper making. In other wasp nests are shown grub-like larvae which hang head downward in their paper cradles and must brize their elders with sweet saliva in order to get the food they need. Other photographs show the inner rooms of ants' nests.
