Lady OF The Land" Mrs. Roosevelt

the elevator and she did. She has
been running 1t ever since and
nothing has happened. Another
amusing anecdote was Of how
when they had first moved into
the White House, her son, upon
borrowing an old dilapidated car
Of friends, went out for the eve
ming. It was their first day at
the White House and the guards
were not all familiar with the
members of the Roosevelt family.
When ne came home that evening
he parked his car in front Of the
White House. When he tried to
get into the House, the guard ask
ed him who did ne think he was.
Upon getting the reply that he
was John Roosevelt, the guard an
swered with a yeah? How do I
know" Finally an older guard
peelSed through the window and
decided that he had a family
look and would let him in. The
Roosevelt family found out that
every time they or any of their
guests came in or went out they
had to register on the ushers book.
Mrs. Roosevelt concluded this
amusing story with, when people
try to protect you, every minute,
and keep the world away from
you, how easy 1t would be to lose
contact with the outside world. The
President can't leave the secret
service behind because they are
charged with his safety. But the
rest of us can walk around in the
outside world. It's good for us all
and / am not sure If 1t isn't good
for the President to. to have his
family see the country as they al
ways have and bring their impress
sions hack"
She spoke or how we should
know our community as a whole
and not individually. Times have
changed and because of transpor-
tation and communication facili-
ties, we have to some extent grown
closer together. TO know the prob
lens and conditions in different
parts of our country is very inn
portant. Although our education
al system is very remarkable,
mere are many places that it is
not as successful as 1t could have
been. What are we ourselves do
ing to help education and the
young people? We should see that
every child in the state Is getting
fair chance and should do what
we can to help. we" Mrs. Roos-
evelt stated, must have the inter-
est of all the people at heart, ev-
erywhere, know conditions In ALL
parts of the country" We should
get more national viewpoint and
not keep it in our own conmuni-
ties.
