That Man Again

That mysterious 'promnent bushes man" who always
bob up opportuney either to the New Deal the back
or if hasy before the Presi-
dents logic is in again
Who he is, where he comes from is just much of a
mystery che which the President breeds those whit
rabbits which live in high hats
He's the fellow m q remember who suddenly
turned to the President that business who had
expressed fear of national debt than 600
simply did know what they talking that
EIGHTY BILLION dollar debt would be drop in the
bucket.
He's the chap who told the President to at
teion complaints about heNew Deals taxing policies
Now he pops the nighttime for the President with the
that the Senates efusua consider neutrality gsla
ton has killed nice little BOOM" ..........
1t left to Senator Vandenberg answer: What
boom? The third term boom?"

Building Being Demolished

The ancient building that has
stood for many years Just be-
low the New Deal cafe and a.
cross the street from the Stucco
House is being torn down. We
are unable to learn whether or
not new building is to be erect
ed on the old site this early. The
Hon j. f. Painter was seen at.
the job several. times The first
part of the week. The inerior of
this two story wooden building
suggests it once was used for .
theatre or church, but shelves
on t n e walls indicate its last
use was as a grocery. PERHAPS
some of our reader know the
hlstory of this building. =
