HIS MEMORIAL

Sees Nation Growing To-

New Understanding
DELEGATES NATION
TO END SECTIONALISM

GETTYSBURG, Pa. May 30.
(UP).-On soil hallowed by Lin
coins words, President Roosevelt
today dedicated the nation to a
new effort to make an end for
all time of sectionalism.
His address, in fighting words
struck back at critics Of the New
Deal.
The executive warned of politi-
cal animosity, saying selfish and
narrow views must be surmount-
ed if progress is to be real.
Taking note of opposition to
his program, President Roosevelt
said "the chief hindrance to-
progress comes from three ele-
ments which, thank God, grow
less in Importance with the grow
tn of clearer understanding on
the part of overwhelming major
ity.
"These groups are those who
seek to stir up political animos-
ity, and build political advantage
by distortion of facts and those
who. by declining to follow the
rules of the game seek to gain
unfair advantage over those who
live I'D to the rules, and those
few who still, because they have
never been willing to take an in
terest in their fellow Americans,
dwell inside their narrow spheres
and still represent that selfish
ness of sectionalism which today
has no place in our national life.
eve are all brothers in a new
understanding. The grain farm
ers of the west do not set them
selves up for preference as we
seek at the same time to help
the cotton farmers Of the south
nor do tobacco growers complain
of discrimination if at the same
time we help the cattlemen Of
the plains and mountains"
WASHINGTON, May 80. (UP).
President Roosevelt left for Get

END YEAR AT
IMMACULATE
Patrons Hear Bishop Hafey
Assail immortality in
Moving Pictures

The Ri. Rev. Bishop William J.,
Hafey, of the Catholic Diocese of
Raleigh, North Carolina, was the
speaker yesterday afternoon at
the concluding exercises of I'm
maculata School. following pro-
gram in which diplomas for COM
pletion of seventh grade work
were presented by the bishop 70
Alice Jones and Evangeline Thi-
bodeau.
Bishop Hafey, in his address to
the patrons and friends of the
school praised the educational
work of the Sisters conducting
the school and attacked the hcea'
tiousness of the moving picture
products of the day. He blamed
business men who are the heads
of leading movie producing COM
panies for the quality of enter
tainment that is being offered the
people, especially the youth Of
the land, and the cinema writer's,
a majority of whom he declared
are pagan. The output of the in
dustry, he said, is making a mock
cry of the Christian religion. .
"The first school in the plan OF
God is the home" declared the
bishop, in opening his remarks
"The closer we come to home-llKe
life in the schools, the better The
reason we have enjoyed this aft
ernoon is because it is home-llke
here. The children are happy 10

II is so, too, with the great arts

we always have to go back 10
these great minds? Why do we
not produce such men now?
Decentralization of our cltieS
seems to be one of the most spilen-

did president. Perhaps in course
of time we shall be able to go
