New Deal publications may have played a part. For instance, the Federal Works “Millions for Defense” pictured New Deal relief spending for de- fense in the depression years, well ahead of the national alarm of 1939. “Technology on the Farm,” by Henry Wallace’s de- partment of agriculture, outlined a 10-year program further ac- centing help for the poorer farm- ers of the nation. And a report by the Securities and Exchange Commission added up the hun- dreds of millions of dollars of family holdings by the Fords, duPonts, Rockefellers, Mellons, ec. Then there was the relief vote, generally regarded as a reservoir of strength for the party in power, and votes from several big city political machines, like the-Kelly-Nash setup in Chicago, and from the solid south. But the big element still re- mains the threat of war. Siarted in ‘37 The story of how the Demo- crats won begins with Christmas week in 19: Another economic setback had the country by the throat. Steel production had dropped 70 per cent in a few Agency’s ; “11,000,000 unemployed,” the} $17,000,000,000 worth of Roose-; velt public debt, the “hamstring- ing” reform laws. ; Snell dismissed the clouds of} war with one oddly-worted sen-| tence: | ! “Above all, we oppose the con- | tinual preaching of war against; and hate among our own people.” : From then on out, the New! Deal marked time on domestic issues, offered fewer and fewer reforms, more and more big de- fense plans. Republicans multi-: plied their attacks on spending, ‘extravagance, and in a final splurge, took a business man to head their party ticket in 1940— the one big business man who had throughout the New Deal championed business against “big government.” As war spread, the Republicans supported defense and conscrip- tion, but charged the President with a slow administration of de- fense, and insisted he was lead- ing the country toward war. Will- kie also talked up to the dicta- tors as the campaign swung into its climax. But all this came late. The margin of Roosevelt vic- tory was established in 1938 be- cause he saw the war clouds first. United Thank Offering Collected The fall ingathering of the United Thank Offering of St Paul’s church was held Monday night after a short business meet- ing of the Woman's Auxiliary in! the Parish Hall Mrs. E. J. Bayly, called the meeti opened with the president, g to order, and xiliary hymn and prayer. Reports from various committees were read. It was voted to have Mrs. Thomas G. Price, Diocesan presi- dent of the Woman’s Auxiliary, as guest ker at the annual Advent Social, December 10. The date for the educational meeting, at which Mrs. C. McA. Wassell is scheduled to speak on China, will be announced later by Mrs. Bayly, Christian Educa- tion secretary. Mrs. Reba Sawyer, U.T.O. cus- todian, was in charge of the in- gathering and program. Mrs. Wassell spoke on the U.T.O. workers in China. Frances Mora sang a solo and her mother, Mrs. Josephine Mora, accompanied her on the piano. The offering will be presented at a corporate communion, Sun- day, November 10, 7:00 a. m. A social hour followed. UD. OF C.

SPEEDY BALLOON LA JUNTA, Colo.—A toy bal- loon, inflated with natural gas, was sent up by the chemistry class of the La Junta High School, just to see how far it would float. It was found the next day by Howard Mantzey, of Dawn, Mo.,a distance of 575 miles away, making 15 hours. of the kitchen and all food served at the Beachcomber. Mrs. Poor was here with the Sutton Line two years ago and operated the house boat at Dry Tortugas. She liked Key West well enough to return this year and start in her own business. Everything at the Beachcomber will be homecooked, including the pastries. NAVARRO SELLS G.E.

WILLKIE SENDS CONGRATULATIONS (Continued from Page One) states north of the Mason-Dixon line last night were wiped out in surprising tactics that found usually Republican rural districts recording practally even totals for both candidates, to allow the cities to settle the issue. Surprise of the election was the gain, now apparent in the House of Representatives for the Democrats. On the face of late Teturns, that party will gain ten new seats in the lower house. The Senate is still controlled by the Democrats by a large ma- jority. Roosevelt carried the industrial east states, including New York and Pennsylvania, the solid south, as usual, jumped to the far western states and was run- ning close in bordering states. Willkie’s strength was mainly in the mid-west farming areas.
