n. r. l949 may go down in
history as q companion measure
to II. r. l776---the famous Lease
Lend Bill. Present indications
are that there will be just as big
legislative battle over this new
measure as was fought aver the
Lease-Lend Bill. Every American
citizen should study this newest
and latest proposal for the len
rehabilitation Of power in the
hands Of the President, for there
has never been more important
or far-reaching piece Of legisla-
tion considered by any American
Congress than this particular pro
posal. With the hope that every
citizen will read and study the
measure carefully, it is herewith
being reproduced in full:
A BILL
To authorize the President Of
the United States to requisition
certain property for the use Of
or disposition by the United
States.
Be it enacted by the Senate
and House Of Representatives Of
the United States of America in

Notes of Dissension
(By Emmett j. Scott

President Roosevelt's Proclamation
of al unlimited national emergency, as
was to be expected, has provoked nation
wide, worldwide comment These COM
ments have run the gamut of domestic
and international dscussion-frqm sy-
cophantish, self-serving over-praise to
derisive scorn and some unfair criticism
Each sentence, each paragraph, of
the Proclamation and of the Presidents
radio address has been subjected to clos
est analysis and scrutiny.
Unhappily, the unity of purpose the
Presidents speech was designed to pro-
mote and affect among our people has
not been brought about. Hard and fast
cleavages in public opinion are being
established according, it seems, to ones
reasoned judgment, ones prejudices
against, or sympathies for, one or the
otheh Of the warning belligerents.
The President, it will be remember
ed, restated with great fervor a former
thesis as a significantly important part
of the program to which he has commit
ted US for the establishment Of the new

The beginning Of the Revolu-

was the pattern for the Dec

later, his own Bill of Rights,

9 Days After Death.
The Trial Opens

Only nine days after the death
OF Dolda Brewer, at 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon, May IS, 1896.
the trial opened before Supe-
rior Court Judge George L. En-
cry and a jury. County Atty
Weston NJ. Hilton opened TIL
trial and began by pointing out
the failure of Sheriff Greenleaf
TO find the body on his first
search and of its sudden appear
ance an hour later.
The judge ruled, however.
that the witness need not be an
expert, since he was familiar
with the deceased's handwriting.
And this testimony that Mrs.
Brewer always spelled her hus-
bands first name with an "e"
instead of an ii" was a severe
blow TO the defense.
The jury solemnly filed out.
In three hours they returned
with a verdict of Guilty Of
murder in the first degree
meaning life sentence, for there
is no capital punishment in
Maine.
The wrinkled. coffee-colored
defendant never flinched. Brewer
turned TO his attorneys:
IL cant understand this. I'm
convicted OF murder because my
wife spelled my name RIGHT.
Gosh, they can't put n man In
Jail for that"
But they did.

Differs From Cider

Before we 60 into the making
Of the juice, let's clarity the dit-
ference between it and cider.
Cider is the liquid which comes
from apples and is allowed To
ferment. Apple juice is paSteur-
lied, which process kills all bac-
terra and yeast and does not
allow the liquid 10 work.
Three years ago there were
about $4,000 cases of apple Juice

there will be between 100000
and 100000 cases turned out

we have heard of apple juice for
at least 25 years, but it is only
recently that it has become pop

juices, for every one is conscious

Apple juice popularity has
