Governor Sees Growing
Progress OF The State

lNDlRECT-All regular advertisers
know that most of the results OBJ
tanned from advertising are indirect
and sometimes hard To trace back 10
any specific advertising appeal. The
State News Bureau has a case in
point. Several years ago the news
bureau organized a travel service for
tourists into the State. Publicity at
tending the Sct-up attached Miss
Anna Reagan, or Pittsburgh, Pa. She
came and WAS greatly pleased. Par
ticularly she was interested in the
work of Catholic mission among
Negroes at New Bern. Some time
later the buildings housing Inc ms
sion burned. The Pittsburg woman
heard about il, got busy among her
friends, and out of her own gifts and
contributions solicited from others
raised substantial ruad for re-
building. Sequel TO the story came
this week i'll the form OF invita-
tons 10 attend the dedics ton service

William Lyon Phelps

In the twilight of life William Lyon
Phelps had the optimistic attitude
towards people and things that he had
when he first started out as an inStruc-
tor of English literature at Yale Univer-
sity. Author, lecturer, writer, and critic
par excellence, Professor Phelps was re-
garded by one and all as New England's
and Connecticuts first gentleman of
English literature. His death in New
Haven the other day removes one of our
greatest literary figures, not only in this
section of the country but more or less
universally.
AS teacher and critic he held few
equals. He had an approach in writing,
lecturing, and teaching that was under
standing; man of scholarly attain
ments, but not possessing those pedantic
qualities that very often characterize
many persons of similar erudition. He
was the professional but friendly guest of
Women's clubs, teachers groups, founda-
tons, theater groups, and numberlesS
associations. What he had to say about
current books, literature of the past and
the present, was always received with
enthusiasm. He was just, fair, human
and humorous in his estimation of what
other people wrote. 1t was pleasure to
IedI It'll, dllu CIlouSIl Ile Was uOlIlS IIllo
in his official capacity for most of his life,
his subject material was always fresh
and inspiring.
Yu might say Professor Phelps sue
cess as literary critic and teacher lay
in his ability to mingle, to adapt himself
to any group, whether it was in New
Haven, metropolitan New York or Boston,
or Paw Paw, Mich. No man in his posi-
ton was more widely known or appreci-
ated or admired. 1t will be the privilege
of many distinguished writer's to esti-
mate in some degree his Importance in
the literary field. We have not men
toned his writings, which were numer-
ous He lived long and useful life, and
will be missed at many gatherings in days
to come; a familiar figure coming down
the aisle, say, at shubert's theater in New
Haven, or at first night in New York, or
at the Metropolitan opera; a fine gentle
man in light suit, somewhat loose and
baggy, nodding to acquaintance, his
great shock of white hair conspicuous

Notable Victory

The Premier SHUTS or pro-War party in
South Africa has won smashing VIC
tory, which all Americans join Secretary
of State Cordell Hull in hailing. The
South Africans, none too enthusiastic
about going to war at first demonstrated
two to one that they are eager now to
60 down the line against totalitarian-
ism.
This should be of interest to Herr Hit
Ter and to his stooge Joe Goebbels, who
tried to intervent in the South Afri-
can election on behalf of the anti-War
party. Their interference resulted in
bringing out an unusually heavy vote,
which changed the United Party's plur-
atty of 70 to majority of 80, elimin-
ated the anti-war Africander party and
blotted out the anti-war New Order
group

or nights work of catering to the
strategists in global warfare who
are planning big things inside, but
who are only human after all.
Then, on the south or river side
of the Chateau, there is the famous
Sufferin Terrace, the magnificent
boardwalk that is 100 or more feet
wide and at least quarter Of a
mile long. You can walk along here
as much as you please. Everybody
walks along here. You get magni-
ficent view of the river from the
terrace, and sometimes you get a
magnificent view of a couple Of
magnificent admirals or generals or
marshals or chiefs Of staff, taking
a constitutional to keep in physical
trim for the talk and brain work
that goes on inside.
This terrace Is easily the most COL
orful spot in Quebec during the con-
ference. Soldiers and sailors and
their ma'mselles promenade there,
along with the town folk and the
visitors. There is band concert
every evening. The Chateau Is not
BACKED out. You may crane your
neck up at the seven floors of the
main hotel, or the over that rises
above, wondering what goes on in
side. but that's all.
That close can you get to the
Quebec Conference, but no closer.
At the two main portals of the Cha
teau, leading to the courtyard, stand
details of business-like looking SOL
diers. And If you don't have the
right kind of pass, you don't get in.
You may glance furtively over the
broad shoulders of the MP's and
see a pair of Mounties at the front
door, at the center Of the tower
base.
The people who do have the right
kind of passes, who do get in and
can come out again, say that be-
yond that door, in the long gallery,
going up and down the great double
stairway into the famous Cartier
and Vercheres rooms, Is much gold
braid, going about its business. Above
in bedrooms and suites, there are
desks and typewriters and clerks.
pounding out reports. But down the
Railways, nearly everyone is be-
hind closed door, comforting.
In addition to the lower, higher
and highest levels, there might also
be listed, unofficially, the still-lower
and lowest levels.
Just below the Chateau is the
Clarendon Hotel, five-story brick
affair which has just been reprinted
the ungodliest shade of brown ever
conceived. This is the headquart-
ers of the press, which might be
called the still-lower level, though
it is part of the upper city. In
the Clarendon, two to a room, are
the press agents for the big news
to come. They provide the liaison
between the highest level and the
still lower level.
The lowest level is the historic
and romantic town of Old Quebec,
which is symbolic Of every town in
the world where ordinary people
dwell and have their destines shaped
by conferences of people whom they
make important by putting them
in high and higher offices.
This is the backdrop of the con-
ference of Quebec.
