How does it look, Ed? Do you
think the farmers will support the

told him.
Farmers generally appreciate
what you have done for them. A
lot of them think you have done
more for the farmer than any other

on that is clear and the farmer
can figure it out for himself. But,

MAJORITY LEADER


1t is a striking symptom of the
focus of public attention that the
election of Representative John
Mccormack of Massachusetts, as
Majority Floor Leader attracted lit
tie more than passing notice.
Two years ago, before the war
crises both the event and the man
would have been top head front
page news. And they would have
warranted it.
In the legislative machinery of
the House, the Majority Leader IS
a key pin. Through the power he
Yields both open and undercover,
he can decide the fate of bills
More than one Strong-willed Ma
jority Leader in the past has been
the virtual boss of the House OF
Representatives.
No President can hope to get
] to first base in the House without
the good will of the Majority
Leader, and without a Majority
Leader who is smart. Otherwise the
White House incumbent is sure to
be in constant hot water putting
through the legislation he wants.
In addition to all this, McCor-
mack's election was political

land Democrat, and the second
northern Democrat. in the history
of the House to achieve this post
Until McCormack's victory every
Democratic Majority Leader in the

ficant facts about McCormack's
election. One was the fact that he
is a strong New Dealer and close
personal friend of the President !;
and the other that he was elected
with Southern votes.
Mccormack is a diplomat and not
a Slugger He will rule by per-
suasion, not the strong arm. This
does not mean that he is a pussy
footer or softly. He can fight and
hits hard when he has to, as the
House well knows from experience.
But McCormack's instinct is to
talk softly and use the gloved
hand.
This trait Of standing firm for
what he believes, without arousing
personal animosities, may arise
from McCormack's early condition
ing. He came up the hard way.
Mccormack is a teetotaler. He's
a boon companion, but his only
excess is cigars. He is rarely with
out one clutched in his teeth. Two
other additions are corned beef
and cabbage, which he will eat any
time of the day or night; and ami
mails ~
Mccormack and his wife, Met
ropolitan Opera star in the early
20s, are inseparable. Childless, they
are deeply devoted to each other
and in the 10 years of their mar
ried life have never missed an eve
ming meal together Their romance
is famous on Capitol Hill.
After Mccormack election as
Leader, a group of friends, among
them Speaker Sam Rayburn, whom
Mccormack succeeded, gathered in
Rayburn's office for a pow-wow.
The Speaker reached for the tele-
phone, announcing he was going
to break the good news to- Mrs
Mccormack.

for Jacksonville music lovers. The
Center has arranged to present
two internationally known artists
in a concert of songs and dramatic
recitations at $50 P. M. Monday,
March II, in the Center Auditor
ium, Chayele Grober, soprano, and
Sidor Belarsky, basso.
Madam Grober is an outstand-
ing Jewish mime and one of the
creators Of Habimah, the Hebrew
Art Theatre, which originated in
Moscow and is at present func-
tioning in Palestine. Her mimi
table characterizations and inter-
probation of Jewish folk music
have won for her international
fame.
Sidor Belarsky is a former lead
ing basso of the Leningrad State
Opera Company and possesses a
rich voice often compared to that
of Chaliapin. Mr.. Belarsky will be
heard in a number of Yiddish and
Russian folk songs and several
operate selections.
Due to the limited seating capa-
city of the Center auditorium, we
urge the public to make advance
reservations. Tickets may be pro-
cured at the Center office and
from members of the Board.
Talmud TOrah Plans Purim Play
A musical play dramatizing the
story of Purim is being rehearsed
by members of the Zimra Club and
students of the Center Relig-
ious Schools. The parts of Esther,
Mordecai, Hannah and Ahasuerus
have been assigned to talented
members of our school.

ST. AUGUSTINE

AS announced in the previous
issue of the Southern lewis h
Weekly, st. Augustine's Annual
1910 Purim Ball will be held in the
Civic Center, Wednesday evening,
March goth, being jointly spon-
sored by the Congregation Sons
of Israel, the Daughters of Israel,
st. Augustine Lodge of B'nai
Birth and the Young Judea Club,
w t h Israel Feiden as general
chairman and Mrs. H. Ross as
vice chairman. The net proceeds
are to be devoted for ALLEGATION
through the United Jewish APP
peal and it's constituent agencies,
the sponsorship having been en-
larged with a view to securing the
benefit of the combined efforts of
the membership of the sponsoring
organizations. The situation in
Central and Eastern Europe is
tragic, and the needs of the vari-
Gus committees functioning there
are tremendous, the immediate
duty of the American Jewish Com
munity being to provide relief in
the crisis.
Thus it is the hope and expec-
tation of the sponsorship that the
community, and its friends in the
proximity, win give the 1910 Ball
wholehearted support with view
to making it memorable success
and at the same time provide
funds that will help alleviate the
plight of the victims of modern
totalitarian warfare.
One of the interesting features
of previous ball is to be repeated
this year. Entrants in the 1910
Queen Esther contest, Miss Bede
Feigenbaum, Hiss Myra Gamsey,
and Miss Florene Wexler, have
their various campaign managers
and the competition is daily be-
coming more spirited. The winner
will be duly presented at the Ball,
together with her encourage.
It is expected that all those at
tending will find the various COM
mittees have provided we'll for
their individual enjoyment of the
evening.

 The Pond Hill group stressed the narrowness of their roads, Burgess Fremont Hoadley saying he had to get almost off the road recently at a point near the Pond Hill school to permit bus to go by, and another Pond Hill resident said the board of education members should be invited to take a ride on the bus on Pond Hill when roads are icy,
 That Millville roads are not too good was also pointed out by some. MT. Mai said that one section of Millville is being accommodated by the school bus and that another section is not accommodated, adding he felt this was unfair.
 MT. Hoadley wondered how mem- bers of the school board would feel if their property were to drop sud- denly $500 in value, and said the closing Of the Pond Hill school would mean a decided drop in property values.
 He said residents of that section should see that lower assessments are placed on their property this fall. MT. Mai said all Millville resi- dents get for their taxes has been roads and school.

few maintained they would not send their children to school today.
 The Millvile group asserted par ents have not been informed when the bus comes, and although par ents of older children who went to more central schools last year may know the bus schedule, there are many parents who do not know it. Parents also do not know what school their children will attend, it was stated at the session.
 Albert Mai, chairman of the meeting, said he felt either the board of education or the superin- tendent should have arranged to announce by August 30 the bus schedule and the arrangements for Millville children.
 Those Millville parents present who decided they would send their children to the central school to- day were united with others in maintaining that this step did not mean the protest against the clos ing would be dropped.
