understand what t means to a human bsing paralyzed by this disease to have that powerle ss- ness lifted even 10 a small degree. It means the differerce betwe an a human being dependent on oth CTS, and an individual who can be wholly independent The pub lie has little conception of the patience and time and expense necessary to accomplish such re- suits, But the results are of the utmost importance to the indi- vidual.
 "Ths' work of the new organiz- ation must start Immediately. It cannot be delayed. Its activities will include among many others those of the Georgia Warm Spr- ings Foundation, Of which I have been president since its incsp- tion. I shall continue as presi- dent of that Foundation. But in fairess to my official responsib:l- ities, 1 cannot a this time take veTy active pzrt in the much broader work hat will b carried out by the new foundation. and l therefore do not feel that should now hold any official pos ition in it. However, because I am Wh5leheartedly in this cause, I have unlisted the sincere inter- est of several representative ani outstanding individuals who are willing to initiate and carry on the work of the new foundation. Its personnel will be announeel as soon as it is compl-ted.'

Statement Issued
 Pres. Roosevelt New Foundation

Copies of President RooSevelt's s statement announcing new Ma tional Foundation for 1nfantile Paralysis have been received by Russell Maynard, who is Chair man of the Committee having in charge arrangements for the Presidents Birthday Ball to be given Saturday, January 29, at the High School Auditorium, at which time an entertainment and dance will be given; 70% of the proceeds will remain in this com- munity, and 3OTo will go to the Foundation.
 The Presidents statement fol lows
 q have been very much con- cerned over the epidemics of in- fantile paralysis which have been prevalent in many cities in differ ent parts of the country. l have had reports from many areas in which this disease is again spread ing it's destruction. And once again there is brought forcibly to my mind the constantly increas- ing accumulation of ruined lives which must continue unless the disease can be brought under control and it's after-effects pro- perly treated.
 My own personal experience in the work that we have been doing at the Georgia Warm Spr- ings Foundation for over ten years, leads me to the very defi- nite conclusion that the best re- suits in attempting to eradicate this disease cannot be secured by approaching the problem through any single one of it's aspects whether that be preventive stud ies in the laboratory, emergency work during epidemics, or after treatment. For over ten years al the Foundation at Warm Springs Georgia, we have devoted our eff forts almost entirely to the study of improved treatment of the af- ter effects of the illness. During these years other agencies, which we have from time to time assist

ed, have devoted their energies to other phases of the fight. l firmly believe that the time has now arrived when the whole at tack on this plague should be led and directed, though not control led, by one national body. And it is for this purpose that a new national foundation for infantile paralysis is being created.
 "As I have said, the general purpose of the new foundation will be to lead, direct, and unify the fight on every phase of this sickness. It will make every eff fort to ensure that every respon- sible research agency in this country is adequately financed to carry on investigations into the cause of infantile paralysis and the methods by which it may be prevented. It will endeavor to eliminate much of the needless after -effect of this disease-Wreck age caused by the failure to make early and accurate diagnosis of it's presence. We all know that improper care during the acute stage of the disease, and the use of antiquated treatment,or down. right neglect of any treatment, are the cause of thousands of rippled, twisted, poWerless bod ies now. Much can be done along these lines right now. The new foundation will carry on a broad guaged educational campaign, pre- pared under expert medical sup ervision, and this will be placed within the reach of the doctors and the hospitals of the country. The predicting physician is in reality the front line fighter of the sickness, and there is much existing valuable knowledge that should be disseminated to him.
 And then there is also the tre- mendous problem as to what is to be done with those hundreds of thousands already ruined by the after effects of this affiiction. To investigate, to study, to de- velop every medical possibility of enabling those so icted to become economically independ- ent in their local communities will be one of the chief aims of the new foundation.
 Those who today are fortunate in being in full possession of their muscular power naturally do not

 The four-story brick and stucc0 building crumpled under the force of the landslide. The mass of earth, stone and weckage trapped approx imately half of the residents.
 The families living on the upper floors escaped, but those in the lower apartments were trapped.
 The victims were identified as Mrs. M. Lachance and daughter, Rosa La Chance, Mrs. Patrick Delisle- S3, and her small child; and Mrs, c. O'Dette, 22,

Having recovered from 2 recent illness, she sought part'time work until she regained her strength. First step in her carefully worked out plan was to have a telephone installed. Next, she canvassed business and employment offices. where she always took pains to leave her telephone number. Three days later, the desired call came, bringing her a job doing typing at home.

than a year, is believed by some to explain Pape's plugging for Blodgett The Bradley-Pryor combine entered ne last Waterbury election and donated $500 here which gave evil dence of the Waterbury publishers tie-up there last fall.
 Congressional Mess
 While it appeared doubtful that Pape would be acceptable as the party nominee for governor, which remains to be decided at New Ha- ven two weeks hence, Pape backed Col. Roy E. Rice from his home settlement, Woodbury, for the f1ftt district congressional nomination, as against Attorney Thomas J. Wall ot Torrington. And today, against At torney Robert L. Larkin, of Wa terbury, Pape presents Blodgett as a compromise candidate, Litch- field county man, "tacitly agreed upon as the district whence the can- didate should come.
 Also, at Waterbury, Hotel Elton Sept. "A, the congressional conven- ton in the fifth district will be held giving further brief to belief that "deal' on Blodgett has been made between the Bradley-Pryor group and the Waterbury g,o.p.
 Harwood May Go Out
 At the same time, from Hartford, comes word that State Chairman Benjamin E. Harwood, of Chester, is on the way out. This move would result as part of the attempt of the Bradley Pryor machine to regain

power lost in several caucuses re- cently one important defeat being the complete triumph of Commit teeman Willard of New Haven, where he will now lead the delegates to the state convention.
 Harwood refused to take part in any move designed against seating Willard at the convention and was not actively opposed to retention of places on the committee by Major Buckley and Charles E. Williamson, of Darien, the latter now under ar- rest on charges by the Waterbury grand jury. Major Buckley was censured by the same jury for al- legged lobbying practices.
 Patching G. o. P. Machine
 Another phase of the state wide attempt to repair the Republican machine under combined leadership of those attacked and those who have attacked them, is the an- nounced liklihood that Attorney John A. Danaher, of Meriden, will run on the ticket for U. s. senator. Danaher, close to Major Buckley for more than a dozen years, served as assistant United States attorney un- der Buckley, and with Attorney George A. Cohen, of Hartford, now interested as counsel in Waterbury for the Citizens Good Government association in the $6O0,00O civil suit against former controller Daniel J. Leary.
 Grand Jury Is COP.
 Thus, the grand jury ramifica- tions enter with prestige the man. euvers of the Republican party to obtain some degree or harmony be- fore the convention with attempt made by deal and compromise to rc.'air the damage of the propagan- da attacks of the Republican press on those who are likely to control the convention. It was agreed that Pape must step down from his po- sition of "double-machine" foe if he is to get the nomination. That he has started an about-face of this sort is shown by his recent editorial attacks on Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport, Socialist candidate for governor, whom Pape blamed for "double-machine" deals which have been attributed over the years to both Republican and Democratic machines.
 With Blodgett and Danaher as political nominees on a ticket with Pape, there would be assuaging of some bitterness against the Water bury candidate for part in the at tack on Buckley, Willard, Harry E. Mackenzie, of Bethal, and evidence

wrecixine crews from Three Rivers and Quebec.
 Canadian Pacific officials said that none of the passengers was injured severely. Several were treated for bruises and cut, they said.
 The storm was the worst in the Quebec area this year. A e0-tnile wind was reported, and the rainfall measured 3.76 inches,
 Trees were upro0ted and telephone and telegraph poles were torn down. The crippled communication lines delayed and curtailed reports ot death and damage.
 Mother Unconscious
 Roses mother, Mrs. M. Lache14ee, was taken unconscious from the wreckage and reported dead. She regained consciousness later, how ever, and was taken to a hospital, where attendants doubted that she would recover.
 The body of Miss Lachaiace was lying over a living child in a manner indicating that she died while try- ing to protect the child. A frag- ment of flying wreckage apparently had broken her neck. The child was little the worse for being trapped six hours in the wreckage,
 Ambulances from Quebec City took the 20 injured persons to hos- pitals. Several of them were re- ported to be in dangerous condi- ton.
 Those who escaped said they were awakened by a grinding noise. Ter ror-stricken, many rushed out sec- onds before the landslide struck, keeping the toll comparatively low,
 Among them were Napoleon Cor flier, A, his wife and five children. Accounting his experience, Corraier said:
 T was sleeping on the second floor when my wife screamed at me that the house was shaking.
 "We rushed out and could see the earth and rock catapulting down the hill toward the house. It made a terrible grinding noise. A second later and the building was moving toward the road.
 we could hear the screams of the other people,
 "The ground floor started to crumple. Just then we saw Rosa- line and Jea Claude (his ehildreti) climbing through the winoow l thought any second the whole build- ing would collapse and we would be trapped.
 My other three children were on the third floor, it was only 8 sec- ond before I got there. I showed them through the window and then climbed through myself.
 "The window, normally several feet above the ground, had slipped to within two feet of it and we got out safely.
 Tt was pitch dark, and raining bucketfuls. I found my wife and other children under a tree and we went to my brothers house and tried to call doctor and the fire department, but the line was down.

 CATHOLIC SCHOOLS CLOSE
 Vienna, Sept 1.-CUP)-All religi- ous schools in Austria, including Ro- man Catholic parochial schools, will be closed permanently, the editor of the Voelkischer Beobachter an- nounced today.
 The schools simply will not re- open at the end of the summer vaca ion on Sept. 19, the paper said The son of Dr. Arthur Seyss-In- quart, governor of Austria, who is a pupil at the famous Schotten gymnasium, will be one of those forced to transfer to a state school Explaining the move, Beobachter said:
 "The Nazi state stands basically on the standpoint that the training and education of youth in schools is an affair of the state and must be reserved exclusively to the state.
 Beobachter said the municipality will maintain IA special schools for Jews to keep them out of the reg ular state schools.
 Jew Shops In Germany
 Berlin, Sept, 1-(UP)-Mayor Ju- lius Lippert announced measures today under which Jewish shops in Germany would be even more strictly classified than at present so that no German may unknowing- ly patronize a Jewish shop,
 Jewish shops in this area would be listed by districts, of which there are 20 in Berlin. Lippert said the cooperation of Nazi party members would be welcomed in the compiM- ton of lists by a canvass of all shops and investigation of their status.
 All Jewish shops at present are identified by printing the name of the proprietors in large white let ters on the shop window. The let tering is oversize and distinctive and can be recognized a consider able distance away.
 As an example of how it works, a shop named, for instance, The Ber- lin Clothing Shop" would also have to carry in big white lettering Abraham Cohen, Prop"

that the guiding of the Waterbury plan is in the hands of the Brad ley-P Pryor faction of Fairfield county.
 More Deals Exploded
 Time is so brief until the Repub- lican convention, Sept, 16 at New Haven, that political observers ex- pect to find further evidence of the attempt to repair the go.p. machine in daily reports of the Republican press. A multitude of deals and compromises is in the making at sectional conferences in many 8 country club of the state these nights. Results of these will become apparent only as far as those re- sponsible reveal the, machinations which will mean that political am- bition has superseded theology of the propaganda campaign of the last several months against the old guard bloc from the Roraback regime.

ELECTRICAL CO-OPS
SHOWING PROGRESS
Eastern Carolina Groups

I'm tho Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, May 12-Good progress is
being made by the Sampson-Duplin
electrical cooperative, which has al
ready received approval of the Fed
eral Rural Electrification Administra-
ton, and by the proposed coop in
Brunswick county, Dudley Bagley di-
rector of the State Rural Electrifica-
ton Authority, told the REA board
at it's session today.
The so-called Sampson county pro
ject will serve several hundred users
on a total of about $50 miles of line,
he said and actual beginning of con-
struction should not be long delayed.
At present the Coop has every
thing in readiness to go ahead as soon
as an advance on the federal funds
already allotted can be obtained.
1t was originally planned to con-
struct a generating plant for the CO
op, but after $4,000 had been allotted
for construction of the plant an ar
rangement was made with the Caro-
lima Power and Light Company for
the purchase of Juice" at wholesale
rates for distribution over the Co-op's
transmission lines.
The Brunswick county project is
in more nebulous state, and it can
not yet be, determined whether It
will go through as cooperative pro-
ject or not, Bailey said
The Tide Water Power Company
has an application pending with the
Federal REA authorities for a loan
which would enable it to serve the ter
ritory intended to be covered by the
coop, along with other territory in
its section. But if the TWP's request
for loan is finally turned down, it
is certain that the coop will go ahead
with it's project of electrifying the dis
trict along the highway from Supply
to Shallotte, with power obtained by
connecting at the South Carolina line.
According to advices from Wash
ington, funds for ALLEGATION to North
Carolina have been expended and
there will be no chance for that the
Tide Water loan can be approved be-
fore July 1, when new funds will be
available for ALLEGATION

A Trip To Washington.

A Trip To Washington.
"a bus load of twenty-one people
| including school children and out
siders, left Thursday morning, March
81, at 200 o'clock, for Washington
D. c. Stopping on the way to look at
the Capitol, at Richmond, and sew
eral other places, we arrived at Mt.
Vernon at 4. Everything was beautiful
here, but the most impressive thing
| was a view from the back of the
house over the Potomac River. The
air was very misty, and at the bot
tom of the grass-covered hill the river
started. In the distance, barely visible
to the eye, signs of the other side
could be seen.
After leaving Mt. Vernon, it was on
ly a short while before we reached
Washington. Here, and all the way
from Mt Vernon, the Potomac River
could Ee seen every few minutes.
Afterwards we were carried to our
cabins, which were very nice, and then
we had supper After this, we went to
the Loves Capital Theatre. The best
seats cost two dollars and the price
reduced as the seats grew less desir-
able, so we were able to get seats
for 40c in the balcony. The floors were
covered with carpets about two inches
thick and everything was beautiful
with chandeliers and other things of
that nature.
Shirley Temple in "Rebecca of
Sunny Brook Farm" was on, and after
that was vaudeville which was I'M
usually good. The different kinds of
lights which were cast upon the stage
to make it show up better were more
varying and made everything far
more beautiful than any used around
here anywhere.
The next morning we were carried
to the Bureau of Engraving, where
money was being made and was piled
in stacks over two huge rooms. We
saw the capitol which was so beauti-
full that just don't know how to de-
scribe it. Under the dome of the Cap
itol is one huge room with carvings
all over it and at the top of the dome
was large painting
We went through the White House.
the congressional library, and saw the
place where the unknown soldier lies
the depot the house of congress and
so on. BY this time we had seen so
many beautiful buildings that we just
could not appreciate all of them. We
went through the museum which was
made up of two huge Buildings, and
everything imaginable was in it.
We went up in the Washington
monument which is 555 feet high and
looked out over the city. After seeing
the Catholic Monastery and going
through the zoo, in which we saw al
most every kind of animal we started
home. 1t took about eight hours to
come back and I think everyone sat
up the rest of the night at home tell
ing about the trip. All enjoyed going
and have not stopped talking about
it yet
All of which brings back memories
of my trip to that city nearly twenty
years ago when 1 spent one whole day
and night there. Of course could
not see much in that short time but
l saw 4 lot.
And now will tell you what miss
ed tonight by being on one of the
committees and having to attend
lodge, as we are busy preparing for
the convention. Mrs. P. H. Guerrant
