FERA Rules Against School Dormitories Stringent regulations covering dis- bursement of relief monies may prove an insurmountable stumbling-block in the way of creation of dormitories E. A. Willson, state administrator of FERA, said Saturday. The proposal had been advanced to Willson by Arthur E. Thompson, state superintendent of public in- » struction as @ federal project during the winter months to aid both chil- = dren and families of farmers. Willson explained that under pre- sent regulations, the federal aid could not buy food for such dormitories “be- cause some of the children who would be in the dormitories would not be > on relief. “We could advance relief to the Tespective families, Willson explained, ‘and money could be spent for: food for the child at the dormitory instead of at the home, but at the present ‘time, that is as far as we can see to go. “If the state were not a federalized area,” Willson continued, “the dormi- tories could be established and we could pay a share of the cost, but \ Moodie Smile Becoming Famous THOMAS H. MOODIE ! didate Has Had Varied Ca- reer in Active Life No man who ever has run for pub- | lic office in North Dakota has had a | wider or broader experience than! ‘Thomas H. Moodie, the lifelong Dem- ocrat who was drafted by his party to run for governor. Moodie burst into the North Pakote political firmament like a comet in March of this year. For months thinking citizens of the state had been praying for a candidate who was above reproach, a man capable of dis- charging with honesty and integrity the duties of governorship, one who would have the confidence of the peo- ple. Among those citizens who raised his voice for that type of man was Thomas H. Moodie, the Williston edi- tor, who never had held public office, never had sought public office, and who did not even dream he might run for public office. Unanimously Endorsed Years of unselfish community labor in Various parts of the state, years of loyalty to his hundreds of friends had focused the attention of some forward looking citizens on him. And s0 it came about, over his own vigorous protests, that Tom Moodie won the unanimous endorsement of the North | Dakota Democratic convention in Mi- not, Back of the wholehearted acclaim that greeted Moodie's candidacy was the knowledge by those who knew him best that no better man could have been found to seek the governorship. Moodie’s friends recalled that he had been born May 26, 1878, of sturdy Scotch parents at Winona, Minn., off- spring of a people that have been known throughout the centuries as fathers of enterprising, honest and able men, Mr. Moodie was still an infant in arms when his father died, and he was forced as a small boy to aid his ‘under the present set-up this Cannot ‘be done.” mother in keeping their home.

Forced by financial circumstances to discontinue his high school educa- tion when he was 16, he moved to jWadena, Minn. with his mother. There he became a printer’s appren- |tice in the printing house of C. C. ;Eastman, publisher of the Wadena Pioneer. Under Eastman's Tutelage Eastman, one of the stalwarts in the days of personal journalism, was re- garded as one of the nation’s greatest newspaper men, He~Biways took .e personal interest in his employes and was particularly impressed with the ambition and early maturity of mind that Moodie revealed. He impressed upon his apprentice the importance of ever striving to improve his mind, re- minding him that the newspaper busi- ness in itself was the greatest source lof a liberal education. Moodie's first contributions to news- Papers were obituaries composed without copy from the printer's case junder Eastman’s direction. He was required to study the autobiography of Benjamin, Franklin and to read and give revorts on certain books |which Eastman placed in his hands. With the end of his apprenticeship, Moodie discovered he also se) ni garded as a capable reporter employer, and he was urged to be alert to opportunities that would broaden his own horizon, It was during this period of the 90s ‘when linotype machines were being generally introduced.

Half asleep, cold, hungry, Moodie threw a switch under the moving cars. No one was hurt, no damage was done. But the superintendent didn’t relish the idea of delay and promptly ordered Moodie to return on the next train. His railroading days were over. Moodie now determined to return to his first love.
