Diego for the building of addi
tional modern barracks to house
approximately 1920 new recruits;

ANOTHER NEW DEAL FLOP

The latest New Deal crackpot
scheme to give business shot in
the arm has flopped as dismally
as all the rest.
The scheme, you will remember,
was to change Thanksgiving Day
from November 80 to November
%. The Presidents theory was
that since Christmas shopping did
not get under way until after
Thanksgiving, by moving that holi-
day one week ahead, the retailers
of the nation would have an extra
week of good business.
That was the theory. Here's how
it has worked out:
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ports that department store sales
in the country as whole for the
week ended December 2-the
extra week of Christmas shopping
declined 5 per cent compared
with the corresponding week a
year ago when Thanksgiving was
observed as usual on the last
Thursday in November.
In only four of the IL Federal
Reserve Districts did department
store sales show small gains and
these were more than offset by
losses in the other districts.
In the Boston area a gain Of 22
per cent last year over the pre-
ceding year was turned into loss
of 20 per cent this year.
So the great Thanksgiving Day
experiment takes its place along
with the slaughter of 100000 pigs
and the plowing up of every third
row of cotton as just another New
Deal folly.-Ex.

SWIVEL CHAIR PATRIOTS

Sometime ago
Harsh words did flow
In multiple profusion
About a certain document
The U. S. Constitution.
Our super patriots,
Vehement,
Pursued, they said,
Red-hot scent
OF something that most
Surely meant
Intrigue by our own
President.
They stormed the ramparts
And they fumed
Until the rest of us
Nigh swooned.
And WONDERED why we
Could not see
This pending, dire
Calamity.
1t seemed to laymen
Such as I
These self-styled patriots
Did not try
To see where danger
Really stood
In Haunting, brazen
Hardihood;
How Nazi Bunds, quite
Unashamed,
The Father of Our
Country claimed,
Forgetting that their
Hessian horde
Sold out their souls for
Bed and board;
And had these traitors
Had their way
There'd be no free
U. S. today.
Thou, patriot of the
Swivel chair,
Go hide your head in
Sheer despair;
Repent that you have
Sold your soul,
Like Hessian horde, for
Sordid goal.
Then aid the man who
lead the fight
For honor, justice,
Freedom, right.
And, when at last the
Fight is won,
And strutting buffers
Start to run,
May peace come to your
Dull, warped mind,
To you and yours, and
All your kind.
