THESE DAYS
THE Go leaders are sour

THE CIO leaders are sound

to retain Franklin D. Roosevelt
in the White House.
He helped to found their

DIR. Randolph Ray tells us
about waitress in a cheap
boarding house who mar
ried an able, ambitious but poor
man. He started to build for
tune. Instead of living expen-
sively, she educated herself and
became one of the most culti-
waited women OF our time. She
learned languages, history, social
graces. and lifted her whole
family from poverty to one Of
the foremost positions in the
world. You may say she was
no ordinary woman" True,
but why be an ordinary woman?
You certainly do not have to be
an ordinary wife.
2--The old notion that the
first born was the one most fit
to become king or inherit the
old mans titles and property is
at least SO per cent malarkey.
3-Not in the field of moral
character, nor in the fields OF
science and fact. Two and two
never make anything but four.
