CHAPTER I

TOYCE moved one of the J suitcases aside and sat down on the narrow berth to read the letter from Aunt Martha. She glanced at the envelope a second time just to assure herself that it be- longed to her. There was no doubt that it came from Aunt Martha; one could never mistake that fine, pre- else handwriting, even were there no Fall River postmark. The surprising fact was that it should be addressed to her, in such a way. The
 words danced before her

Dr.. Baumgardner was upstairs

rear when the terrific shock was
felt and the heavy reverberation
of the bomb was heard. Windows,
in the home were shattered and
damage that may well run into the
hundreds of dollars done to the
porch and lawn. Several nearby
homes were rocked by the shock.
No one could be found who had
seen the dynamiter. That the
bomb was crude and probably
homemade, however, seemed obvi-
Gus from the fact that the greatest
harm came from the detonation
rather than from parts of the
bomb itself.
The case was given to the po-

Leroy Doty, runnerup to George
McClain in the city tournament,
was second in the championship
flight with lat for his 36 hole eff

Another Kansas Citian, Walter

The Swope Park flight found
Boyd Galloway of Omaha tying

play-off Galloway was the victor.
This was Galloway second tro-

PRES. PRAISED FOR EXTEND.
SECURITY ACT
Confined from page II

Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary
of the Association, said:
"As you doubtless have beer
informed by your advisers, the
great bulk of Negro wage earn
ers in this country is now exclud-
ed from the benefits of the Social
Security Act because they are oc-
cupied in agriculture and domes-
tic service.
'Of the five million oolored peo-
pie normally gainfully employed,
some three and a quarter million
are engaged in agriculture and
domestic service, so that you can
realize how important to colored
Americans is the contemplated
revision of the Social Security
Act"
A reply to the letter from the
White House advised the Associa-
tion that the NAACP. communi-
cation would be brought to the
attention of the chairman of the
Social Security Board.
The Association also sent a
letter to Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner, of New York, long known for
his aid in fighting for progressive
legislation, urging him to endorse
the proposed revision of the Soc
ial Security.

No word Is forthcoming from the
Pillsbury Mills regarding the re-

proposed new mill here at Kenne-

the old building was removed that
an immediate announcement from
them would be forthcoming. Prob
ably no one thing could mean more
to this community than the an
nouncement Of the beginning Of the
new mill-especially If 1t is to be as
large q project as we have been led
to believe. It would mean at least
fifty percent increase in the pop
ulation and would provide q sure,
steady payroll. It is not likely, how
ever, that any such announcement
will be forthcoming until national
conditions resume something like q
normal trend.

OREGON MIDDLE

OREGON MIDDLE
The New Deal has won a new but
somewhat questionable victory in
Oregon. This states primaries have
been watched by observers through
out the country, who are trying to
gauge the drift of the political wind.
Oregon's incumbent democratic
Governor, Charles Martin, claimed
to be an Administration supporter.
However, he has opposed various
Administration acts and officials,
has waged an aggressive war against
what he regards as labor racketeer-
ing, and is generally known as q
conservative.
His opponent, a 100 percent New
Dealer, was publicly endorsed just
before the primary by Secretary
Ickes and Senator Norris. Result:
He beat the incumbent, by a narrow
majority.
On the other side of the picture,
the Republicans nominated by an
overwhelming majority newspaper
publisher, who is q relative new
conner to the state. And while Mr..
Roosevelt carried Oregon by more
than 100000 votes in 1886, the Re-
publican gubernatorial nominee re-
ceived considerably larger primary
vote than did the successful Demo-
cratic candidate. Outlook now IS
that the November fight will be
something.

One of the things upon which the
community has always prided it
self is the fact that almost no "for-
eigners" live here. There are no
Jews, no Cinnamon, no Hindus, no
Philippines, no Greeks and no Mig
gers living in our community. This
fact Is one of the things which has
kept the standard Of living as high
as it has always been and we will
be sorry to see the situation change.
However, in the future we may be
able to look back to this period with
the feeling that them were the good
old days. for with the construction
of any large project these elements
creep In and are never entirely
eradicated.

HOAxING THE AGED

We are in receipt of commune
cation from a lady in Yakima, in
which she states that the Townsend
people are all going to support
Knute Hill for congress because he
is friendly to our cause" It is
things of that kind that make us
despair of good government under a
democracy. Mr.. Hill may be friend
ly to the Townsend Plan but he is
one of the worst enemies of the old
people that could be sent to con-
gress. It is men like Hill, rendering
a lip service to pension scheme
they know will never come to vote,
who make the work difficult for
those who honestly believe in rea-
sonable old age pension.
Buoyed up by promises of men
like Hill, Townsend people have OPP
posed rather than assisted those
who were working for modest pen
sions knowing that all reforms start
modestly If they start at all. And
worse than all the rest is the de-
ception that was practiced upon the
elderly people who were led to be-
ueve that they were to live in the
affluence Of $4,000 couple per an
mum. It raised their hopes so high
that not getting the pension was
like losing a fortune.

that is supported by one or more
