dupont TO society early this season
the School-day romance has as
sumed evident importance. Frank
lin ID. Roosevelt, Jr.. now a sopho-
more at Harvard, has been enter
tanned extensively al the debut
tante's home, both In Wilmington
and at the dupont summer home
az North Harbor, Me. On several
occasions he has been the guest OF
the duPonts in New York City -.
Boston society watched the TO
nance at close range at the recent
debut Of Miss. Barbara Gushing,
sister OF the wife OF James RooSe-
welt. Miss dupont was a guest at
the affair and three son Of the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt,
James, Franklin D., Jr, and John
Roosevelt, were uSherS. Philaoel-
phia lifted an eyebrow Of attention
when Miss dupont was a member
Of the receiving party at the debut
of the younger sister Of Mrs. Dom
ner Roosevelt, former wife OF FL
liott Roosevelt.
RumorS OF the engagement OF
the young couple have been en-
phatically denied by Eugene du-
Pont. father OF the debutane. so
emphatic have these oenials be-
come that speculative gossip, though
recalling the fact that Eugene du-
Pont and the President were class
mates az Harvard. predicts that the
romance will hit a snag Of no small
import.
Miss Ethel dupont is one OF the
dupont cousins known as the Pr1n-
cesses Of Delaware. and heIreSS TO
the vast fortune Of the potent du-
Pont de Nemours Company, which
has been In the hands Of one FAM
lily for more than a hundred years.
The success Of that company and
the power Of the DUPONT family,
known as the Royal Family OF
Delaware lies not only IN its
wealth. but in a clannish coopera-
ton. the concentration Of the
wealth and power OF every mem
Der Of the clan. toward the general
welfare OF the name Of dupont, TO
which the great company stands
as a monument.
The marriage Of the women Of
the dupont family have played an
important part In this scheme. In
the earlier years the inter-mar-
riage OF distant cousins in the
family was looked upon with fa-
vor. OF later years. the rich girl

poor boy" romances In the dupont
family have attracted wide atten-
ton. as 1t has been observed that
dupont heiresses make no effort
to match the Importance Of their
family name, or their wealth, with
that Of a husband. II is said that
the dupont Sires favor romances
OF their daughters with men OF no
great individual interests 50 that
the wealth and power may not be-
come diversified.
A RooSevelt-duPont romance is
said 10 be looked upon with as
kance by the dupont family be-
cause members OF the clan are
avowed enemies Of the New
Deal" Irenee DUPONT, uncle Of
the debutante. is one Of the foun-
ders Of the newly organized Lib
erty League. and one OF the four
officials OF the company who faced
the recent munitions quizz con-
Quoted BY the Senate committee
in Washington by Senator Nye.
Even those who look most pes
simistically upon the development
Of romance find II in many ways
a striking genealogical stud y
Though the dupont family Is one
OF the line Of Samuel Pierre du-
Pont, scientist ard advocate OF adj
vanCed education and economics,
and writer, the members Of that
family have been as strongly ex-
~troverted as the members OF the
Roosevelt family appear TO have
been.
The founder Of the dupont fam
ily came from France TO America
little more than q hundred years
after the Dutch ancestors of the
RooSevelts came TO this country
He came to America TO become
a citizen because he would not
serve under Napoleon. Back In
1906 when Isaac Roosevelt, great
grandfather of Franklin D.. Jr.
who established the family estate
az Hyde Park. New York, was only
ten years old, the sons Of Samuel
Pierre dupont had founded a
banking anc commission house ir
New York City, which failed be-
cause Of non-payment OF monies
loaned 70 France due 10 the III
feeling OF Napoleon toward their
father. Isaac Roosevelt vas but
twelve years old when the dupont
sons OF PIERRE Samuel we're found

HARLINGEN, Dec. l. That
ambulance and fire truck station
ed at the fair grounds are not
lust there for advertising pur-
poses or ornaments. That was
illustrated by the fact that the
Thompson ambulance made an
emergency run, taking a man
who had eaten too much turkey
dinner, to the hospital.
Every strange request address
ed TO the Valley Fair headquart-
ers IN the administration build
ing Is first heard by Miss Sarah
Chatfield. office secretary. One
OF the Oldest requests was for a
mousetrap from a department
chairman who was fearful that
some Of the exhibits might get
chewed up.
A familiar face OF several years
ago was again seen this fair as
Miss Kate Hill, former Cameron
county home demonstration
agent, assisted clubwomen with
their exhibit. She is now a dis
srict agent with headquarters al
College Station.
It's an old map but IL at
tracts lots OF attention. It's a
map Of the Valley painted many
years ago for a land developer
and shows location OF the various
Valley towns. II is on the south
wall of the main exhibit building.
one Of the biggest Jobs watch
men in the main building have
Is 10 prevent someone from steal
ing a part OF San Benito. The
San Benito community exhibit Is
made up Of small houses and OF
her buildings constructed by the
manual training department OF
san Benito high school. one
small boy almost got away with
two houses and a garage but
q Waterman saw him.
Ed Jackson, the genial former
governor OF Indiana who came
down for Indiana day. may soon
settle in the Valley, former
HOLSTERS hope. He owns an or
chard near Mission and other
former residents OF Indiana be-
lieve he may soon move there.
That huge doll IN the Pioneer
Flour Mill booth stops old and
young. This writer wouldn't tell
little children there is no Santa
Clause but instead Of being oper-
ated by an electric motor the
doll Is manipulated by hand by
a gentleman who sits in the
back.
one OF the Valleys newest in
dustrieS Is represented by an eX-
hihit. II is the Snider Packing
Corp. booth presided over by
Mrs. II. NJ. Moore. This company
recently canned It's first Valley
peas as a test and will soon be
running full tilt. Some OF the
products put up by Snider plants
IN other parts Of the country are
shown.
The metal front page OF The
Brownsville Herald is a curiosity
TO many visitors at the newspa-
per booth. The cylindrical cast
Is that from which a recent front
page was Il off. Few know,
until Miss Reba Rich. IN charge
OF the booth explains that The
Herald is the only paper south Of
Corpus Christi that does not
print directly from type but has
a cylinder press.
IT is reporter had lots Of fun
with an Indiana reception COM
mittee badge issued on the occaS-
sion Of former Governor Ed
JacksOn,s visit 70 the fair. $. u.
Williams had a picture Of James
Whitcomb Riley, the HooSier poet,
printed on the badge. The fun
came in finding how many be-
lieved the reporter when he said
that the reception was for Riley.
