MODERN ART TRENDS, SUB
JECT OF EXHIBIT OPENING
AT 'U' GALLERY, JUNE 26
If, when you started to read this,
you were on your way to a riot,
fire, or to see Karloff in his most
recent horror role, then save your
energy you'll need it) and go over
to the University Art Gallery any
time from Saturday, June 26th to
July oath and take a peek at what
is being billed as the most unique
art exhibit in the country today
the Fantastic Art, Dada, and Sur
realism Exhibition from the Mu-
scum of Modern Art in New York.
How can we say that we're not
spoofng you when we say that the
pencil drawing that Johnny brought
home from his first grade class has
a slight edge over some of the stuff
that is in the exhibition; or that
the nightmare that you had last
night has the same tone as the
famed surrealist Dalfs works or
perhaps those of de Chirico whose
hobby is the painting of empty
squares that inspires one with a
feeling of mystery and fear. Per-
haps the most unique object in the
exhibit is Oppenheim's "Object
1886: Fur-Lined Cup, Plate, and
Spoon" which from all appearances
seems to have been created with a
Misunderstanding.
Our advice to you is this. Don't
go with an idea that you are going
to see some beautiful paintings of
flowers, trees, etc., because you
won't. Much of the stuff is re-
pulsive to many people. Carry your
own smelling-salts because it will be
in demand and if you feel yourself
fainting away, rush for a door for
fresh air.
The Gallery is located on the
University of Minnesota campus in
Northrup Memorial Auditorium on |
the fourth floor and third floor cor
ridor. During the run of the exhibit |
the Gallery will open at 9 a. m.
and close at 6 p. m. every day ex-
cept Sunday when it will be open
from 2 p. m. to -. p. m.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scottie Faison, 214

pecting "blessed event."

Duluth News

The presiding elder paid his
quarterly visit to our city on Sun
day, June 10, 1887. A nice crowd
attended both services. With the
help of some of the church mem
bers, Sacrament was administered
to the sick.
In memory of June Pendelton,
who departed this life two years
ago, June 20, 1885. Gone, but not
forgotten by her family and a host
of friends.
Fathers day found both churches
we'll attended. Flowers were given
to Calvary Baptist Church. One
bouquet was in memory of the de-
ceased fathers and the other as a
token to the living fathers. The
flowers were given by Mrs. Sarah
Waters.
Eugene Waters and Billy Maui
pins were the proud recipients of
two letters from the Washington
Junior High School.
A number of Duluthians have re-
ceived invitations and are planning
on attending the wedding of Miss
Dorothy Pittman of Minneapolis.
Our youngsters are making WON
derful progress along different
lines in school. Eugene Waters pre-
sented his mother a much needed
end table which he made in school.
Joseph Waters presented her with
combination stool and step lad
der. Others have similar gifts to
their mothers, not having the cor
rect information concerning the
same, l cannot mention.
Wallace Rodney and Joseph Wa
tiers will be among those who will
go down to Washington Junior
High School. Do they think they
are the big shots?
Ruth Lees mother and sister are
in the city to spend some time with
her. 1 think they are from Kan
sas City.
Aunt Kate (Mrs. Kate SMITH
spent a few days in the city and
made the rounds visiting her ole
trends.
The Minnesota steel plant is lay
ing off some of its men, indefinite

estate in order. Just as soon as
the business angles are cleared up
then you will receive your share of
the estate which will be at least
six weeks.

on her vacation this summer.
Would you suggest that / make
this trip?
Ans.-Of course you should drop
everything and make this trip to
BERMUDA with your friend.
Money doesn't appear to be a prob
lem with either you or your friend
and a months vacation at this re-
sort will bring about a complete
change in you.
G. S. C.-Tell me, please, if my
husband will remain here all of
this summer as / would like him
to?
Ans.-It will be necessary for
him to make the trip out of the
city and he will SECURE EN-
PLOYMENT. / am afraid that
you will be disappointed again for
it is very evident that he will re-
main out of the city for another
summer and work.
o. C.-Will l ever marry the
man that / am in love with and
will this business ever pay?
Ans.-Marriage will not take
place within the next eighteen
months for you and this party.
The business that you two are con-
nected with could be worked up so
that it would pay fair income I. .
but it will take quite a bit more
of your time than is being given to
it at the present.
A. R--Will the girl that 1 love
wait for me and is there a chance
of my getting out of here?
Ans.-Your girl friend is still
very much in love with you, and
still has confidence in your ability
to do the right thing and live right
when you are free. Good behavior
goes long way with people in
your circumstances so / suggest
that you hold this in mind always.
Your sentence won't be as long as
you expect.
II. M. S.-Why did the boy that
l have been going with stop coming
all of a sudden and does he love
me?
Ans.-He never did love you &.
he admired you but thought it best
to call it quits before the affair
became serious. Take this little
"shake down" like a man and don't
begin crying on someone's shoulder
for it is only natural that every
one get a "jolt" of this kind in
their lives.
P. P. K.-I don't have many
friends and l am old. Will / get
any kind of pension and what
should 1 do this year?
Ans.-Remain where you are
this year as you have many
friends around your place. When
the laws in your state are passed
upon and are in effect you will be
among those who will come under
the pension regulations. It will be
some time yet before this matter
swings into action.
L. B. J.-YOu have helped me be-
fore and / am coming to you
again. What must 1 do about my
arm and will it ever get back to
normal again?
Ans.-Don't waste any more
precious time trying to treat the
condition of your arm for you
aren't saving one cent. Let
doctor see it and he will be able to
prescribe and cure this condition.
See one at once.
M. M. K.-Why has my husband
changed so much towards me? Is
there another woman or am / to
blame?
Ans.-Your husband is a "big
baby" and he just can't seem to
exist without affection and coddling
that he received when you two
were younger. Yes-you are
somewhat to blame for his actions
for you have taken him a bit for
granted here of late. Give him
affection or he may seek elsewhere
for it.
L. P.-DOes he really love me
and will he divorce his wife and
marry me as she says?
Ans. He is just foolish"

In spite of the alarrns of a few who seek to regain control of American life, most business men, big and little, know that their government .;is, trying to make property more se- cure than ever before by giving every family a real chance to have a property stake in the nation.
 Dangers from Monopolies
 Whatever danger there may be to the property and profits of the many, if there be any danger: comes not from governments at- titude toward business but from restraints now imposed upon busi- ness by private l1onopolles and fi- llancial oligarchies. The average business man knows that a high. cost of living is @ great deterrent to business and that business prosperity depends much upon a low price policy which encour- ages the widest possible cUnsump- tion. As one of the country's leading economists recently said "The continuance of business re- covery in the United States de- bends far more upon business pol icies, business pricing policies, than il. does on anything that may

 Our competitive system Is not altogether competitive. Anybody. who buys any large quantity of manufactured, goods; knows this, whether 1t be the governrnent or. an Individual buyer. We have anti-trust laws, to be sure, but they have, not been adequate to check the growth of many frlon-. opolies. Whether or not they might have been adequate origin ally; interpretation by the courts and the difficulties and delays of legal procedure have now defi- nitely limited their effectiveness.
 We are already studying how to strengthen our antitrust laws in order to end rlonopol not to hurt but to free legitimate busi- ness. As we plan today for the crea- ton of ever higher standards of living for the people of the United States, we are aware that our plans may be most seriously af- fected by events in the world out- side our borders.

any group. And the kind of peace we want is the sound and perma- nent kind, which is built on the cooperative search for peace by all the nations which want peace. !, The other day I was asked to state my outstanding impression gained on this recent trip. said that 1t seemed to me to be the general understanding on the part of the average citizen of the broad objectives and policies which I have just outlined.
 Five years of fierce discussion and debate-five years of infor- nation through the radio and the moving picture-have taken the whole nation to school in the nations business. Even those who have most attacked our cbjectives have, by their very criticism, en- couraged the mass of our citizens to think about and understand the issues involved, ana, under standing, to approve.
 Out of that process, we have learned to think as a nation, and out of that process we have learned to feel ourselves nation. As never before in our history, each section of America says to every other section, "Thy people shall be my people,"
 For most of the country this has been 8 good year-better in dollars and cents than for many years-far better in the soundnesS of its prosperity. And everywhere I went I found particular opti- nism about the good effect on business which is expected from the steady spending by farmers of the largest farm income in many years.
 But we have not yet done all that must be done to make this prosperity stable. The people of the United States were checked in their efforts to prevent future piling up of huge agricultural sur- pluses and the tumbling prices which inevitably follow them. They were checked in their efforts to secure reasonable minimum wages and maximum hours and the end of child labor. And be- cause they were checked, many groups in many parts of the coun- try still have less purchasing power and lower standard of living than the nation as & whole can permanently allow.
 Says Citizens Understand
 Americans realize these facts. That is why they ask government not to stop governing simply be- cause prosperity has come back a long way. ..... .
 They do not look on government as an interloper in their affairs. On the contrary, they regard 1t as the most effective form of organ ized self-help.
 Sometimes I get bored sitting in Washington hearing certain people talk and talk about all that gov- ernment ought not do-people who got all they wanted from govern ment back in the days when the financial institutions and the rail- roads were being bailed out in 1883. It is refreshing to go out

 They want the financial budget balanced. But they want the human budget balanced as well. They want to set up national economy which balances itself with as little government subsidy as possible, for they realize that per- sistent subsidies ultimately bank rupt their government. z.
 They are less concerned that every detail be immediately right than they are that direction be right. They know that just so long as we are travelling on the right road, 1t does not make much difference if occasionally we hit @ thank you marm".
 The overwhelming majority of our citizens who live by agriculture are thinking with the production of crops. They want government help in two ways-First. in the control of surpluses, and, second, in the proper use of land.
 The other day a reporter told me he had never been able to un- derstand why the government seeks to curtail crop production and, at the same time, to open up new irrigated acres.
 Two Different Objectives He was confusing two totally separate objectives.
 Crop surplus control relates to the total amount of any major crop grown in the whole nation on all cultivated land, good or bad controlled by the cooperation of the shop growers and with the help of the government. Land use, on the other hand, is Q policy of providing each farmer with the best quality and type of land we have, or can make available, for his part in that total production. Adding good new land for diver sified crops Is offset by abandon ing poor land now uneconomically farined.
 The total amount of production largely determines the price of the crop, and, therefore, the difference between comfort and misery for the farmer.
 If we were foolish enough to run every shoe factory twenty-four hours day, seven. days 8 week, we would soon have more shoes than the nation could possibly buy "a surplus of shoes that would have to be destroyed, or given away, or sold at prices far below the cost of production. That simple law of supply and demand equally affects the price of all our major crops. ....
 You and I have heard big man. ufacturers talk about control of production by the farmer as an indefensible economy of scar city" And yet these same, rnanu- facturers never hesitate to shut down their own huge plants, throw men out of work, and cut down the purchasing power of whole communities whenever they think they must adjust their production to an oversupply of the goods they make. When it is their baby who has the measles, they call t not "an economy of scarcity" but sound business judgment
 Of course, speaking seriously what you and I want Is such gov renmental rules of the game that labor, agriculture and industry will produce a balanced abundance without waste.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-13

This afternoon have issued 6 proclamation calling a special ses- sion of the Congress to convene oil Monday, November 15, 1887.
 I do this in order to give to the Congress an opportunity to con- sider important legislation before the regular session in January, and to enable the Congress to avoid a lengthy session next year extending through the summer.
 I know that many enemies of democracy will say that 1t Is bad business, bad for the tranquility of the country, to have a special session-even one beginning only six weeks before the regular ses- sion.
 But I have never had sympathy with the point of view that a session of Congress is an unfor- tunate intrusion of what they call politics" into our national affairs. Those who do not like democracy want to keep legislators at home. But the Congress is an essential instrument of democratic govern ment; and democratic government can never be considered an in- truder into the affairs of demo- cratic nation.
 Result of Western Trip
 l shall ask this special session to consider immediately certain important legislation which my recent trip through the nation convinces me the American people immediately need. This does not mean that other legislation, to which I am not referring tonight. is not important for our national well-being. But other legislation can be more readily discussed at the regular session.
 Any one charged with proposing or judging national policies should have tirst-hand knowledge of the nation as a whole.
 That is why again this year I have taken trips to all parts of the country. Last spring I vis- tied the southwest. This summer I made several trips In the east. Now I am just back from a trip all the way across the continent, and later this autumn I hope to pay my annual visit to the south east.
 For a President, especially, 1t is & duty to think in national terms. He must think not only of this year but the future years when same one else will be President.
 He must look beyond the av- craze of the prosperity and we'll being of the country, for averages easily cover up danger spots of poverty and instability.
 He must not let the country be deceived by merely temporary prosperity which depends on Vasteful exploitation of resources which cannot last.
 Thinking as . Nation
 He must think not only of keeping us out of war today, but also of keeping us out of war in generations to come.
 The kind of prosperity we want Is the sound and permanent kind which is not built up temporarily at the expense of any section or
