A Man to Remember A SIMPLE memorial dedicated in Miami the other day bean the word, Tm glad it was me instead of you!" They were tpoken by a brave man and deserve de-serve to be remembered. They were the dying words of Anton J. Cermak of Chicago, who as mayor of that city -was riding with Presidentelect President-elect Roosevelt six years -ago when mad Giuseppe Zangara fired his cowardly bullet and hit not the president-elect whose life he sought, but Cermak. So fast do events move that we are inclined to forget how Cermak, dying in the hospital, looked up at the president whose life he had saved, and gasped, "I'm glad it was me instead in-stead of you!" The least the rest of us can do is to remember him.
