cedure the executive committee

soon after the biennial state con-
vention. If it is a gubernatorial

The Gallup Poll
Poll Seeks Opinions OF
Seven Most Prominent In
National Surveys
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
Of PuhIic Onininn

OF Public opinion
PRINCETON, N. j., May
10.-One thing the Repub-
.lican Party has no shortage
of as 1913 approaches-possi-
BILE presidential candidates.
Polls across the country
asking people to name the
man they would like to see
President in 1948 persistently
bring up seven names:
% Governor Thomas E. Dewey,
of New York; (2) Harold E. Stas-
sen, former Minnesota governor;
90 U. S. Senator Arthur H. Van
denberg, of Michigan; () U. S.
Senator Robert A. Taft and 80
John W. Bricker, of Ohio; 60
Governor Earl Warren of Califor-
mia; and Cd U. S. Senator Leverett
Saltonstau, of Massachusetts.
1t is of course a long way from
election day, but there is ~increas-
ing speculation about who will
win the nomination at the conven-
ton in Philadelphia.
There is, moreover, no necessary
relationship between a mans pres
ent standing with the public and
his chance either for the nominal
ton or for eventual election.
The list of names which the
public mentions most often when
asked to name their choice for
l948 does not necessarily even
include the man who may turn
out to be the Republican candidate
in 1913.
History has shown that a man
unknown to the public a few weeks
or months before nomination time
a be nominated and win the
support of voters in the party he
represents.
1t is n of the odd facts of re-
cent years that only a matter of
days before the 1914 elections, on
ly SIS per cent Of Democrats could
name the man who was elected
vice president on the same ticket
with Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1914
Harry S. Truman.
Willkie was relatively unknown
only a short time before he won
the COP. nomination in 1910.
However. because of the per-
sistence with which the above
named seven Republican possibili-
ties have cropped Up in Institute
polls and in the columns of politi-
cal commentators, the Institute has
made further investigation of pres
emit COP. voter attitudes toward
these men.
Instead of trying 10 get a rela-
tive ranking of the men, the In
stitute had field reporters ask:
'Wil you tell me frankly what
you think of each of these men as
Republican presidential material
for 1948. Generally speaking is
your opinion of them favorable or
unfavorable.
The replies point to the strength
and weaknesses Of these men
among COP. voters:

Governor Dewey's position is rel
atively good. He runs about four
favorable votes to every one I'M

False Fire Alarms

A false fire alarm is not a trivial
matter.
Each time one is sounded, it costs
the city an average of $50 in gasoline,
wear and tear on equipment and other
expenses to answer the unnecessary
call. It also subjects the firemen to
needless risks as they rush to the scene.
Because a speeding fire truck is a
definite traffic danger, it alo provides
additional opportunities for street &C
cidents.
The city began installing new fire
alarm boxes in Lake Forest last week.
After they were connected to the de-
partment's system but before they were
formally turned over to it, four false
alarms were sounded through them in
a three-day period. Apparently juve-
niles were responsible. While they think
it quite a prank, it isn't and parents in
the community should warn their
youngsters against such practices.
There is a stiff penalty for engaging
in this foolish business and, if the
guilty one is app%rehended, the firemen
intend to see that it is applied.

Senator Vandenberg wins a good
rating from voters. Among those

Senator Taft, leader in the U.

But think, kids: Very few Ameri-
cans have truly humble homes, by
world standards. You weren't
bombed out. You aren't parking in
a squalid cellar or rat-infested
attic. Why, most Of you, bet, have
radios and refrigerators. Cars,
maybe. And clean,. white sheets
and warm blankets.
Oh, some United States homes

mato juice are served at q long
buffet table, covered with black and
orange. in the living room. OF course,
there would be orange or black
candles, or perhaps those fat little
wax pumpkins with wicks in them.
A centerpiece of real old fashioned
persimmons hanging on their sill
very twigs would be pretty.
Second Course at Bob's: Cream Of
mushroom soup-canned will do,
naturally!-with toasted crackers,
and celery stalks, stuffed or plain. A
big wooden bowl Of apples, nuts and
autumn leaves centered on a table,
bare except for orange paper rec
tangles under the plates. Red can
dies, and perhaps some paper favors
picked up inexpensively downtown.
Third Course at Mary's:: A nice
dish of crabmeat-cooked or canned
baked with an equal amount Of
macaroni. CYou can buy this
canned, If you wish, or cook it your
self, it is very simple) Mix the
crab and macaroni with a thick
white sauce, sprinkle well with
grated cheese and breadcrumbs, and
bake in oven until cheese and
crumbs are Drowned. You don't
have to have anything but this for
this course, but you can serve cold
sliced raw tomatoes if you wish. Red
checked tablecloth, couple Of
bronzy NUNS floating in red glass
bowl
Fourth Course at Joan'S Joan Is
lucky--she has an "old family re-
tainer" to help, so she volunteered
for the biggest course. Roast duck,
or turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet
potatoes baked with marshmallows-
and green vegetable will do. Sweet
cider makes its appearance here.
The tablecloth may be length of
golden yellow sateen on which black
cats and witches have been ap-
pliqued. Yellow pompom NUNS,
daisies and green leaves as center
piece. If Joan's mother has yellow
china, maybe Joan can use that.
Fifth Course at Harrys:: They do
say the men are better at salad
making than the women. Let Harry
prove this here and now! On a
bare table, with a centerpiece of
vegetables In a wooden bowl-a
highly polished eggplant, some gol-
den carrots, green and red peppers,
Evening star., 1947-10-26

and perhaps q shiny avocado for
green accent-he will serve forth q
big bowl of crisp green lettuce,
tossed with his own private version
OF French dressing. The salad will
also be made in a wooden bowl, and
If his family has the small individual
wooden ones as we'll, it can be served
in these. Otherwise pottery plates.
II the table seems too bare, try
homespun sior loosely woven mats.
Cheese straws would be fine with
the salad.
Sirth Course at Lucille's: She has
the biggest house Of all. Here the
furniture is pushed back in the liv-
ing room to allow space for dancing
or games. The decorations should
be really Halloween in feeling-smau
jack o'lanterns on the mantelpiece,
festoons of orange and yellow paper,
witches and black cats pinned to
the curtains, autumn leaves in pro-
fusion. Lucille serves piping hot,
highly spiced little pumpkin tarts,
and black coffee from big trays, to
her guests who are seated about the
room, with small side tables for
their plates. When the last crumb
has disappeared, the plates and cups
are collected, and the evenings well
on its way. Then the real fun starts.
A word to the wise-this amounts
to a lot of food in the long run.
So provide just enough for single
helpings there will be
waste, and this is no time for that.
In fact, some of your parents may
feel the dinner is altogether too
lavish-if so, consult with them and
with your group, and settle for
something simpler. 1t isn't the food
so much as it is the fun of the
progressive" business, and the gen.
eral get-together to defy the spoeks
and witches of Halloween.

The Young Idea
Progressive Dinner Partv
For Teem-Agers' Halloween
The Young Idea
By Peggy Ross

Remember, last week, we told
you we'd 60 into the details OF q
last-minute progressive dinner party
for Halloween? This form Of en-
tertainment has the additional ad-
vantage that it spreads the work
and expenses around among several
hosts and hostesses, rather than
centering all the grief on one
willing soul.
Drum up a group Of six hostesses-
or there may be a host or two in
cluded, If some Of the boys have
cooperative mothers, who will help
them in their part of the entertain
ment. II possible to manage, the
various homes should not be too far
apart, so that little time is lost
between courses. This group, which
will do the hosting" should get
together as early as possible and
plan the menu, games and decora-
tions. Also, it is nice to try and
fix up transportation and escorts for
the gals in going from house to
house. Because of this element,
elephoned invitations are most
atisfactory, for all arrangements
an be made during the conversa-
on.
Each host or hostess agrees to
jrepare and serve in his or her house
one course of six-courSe dinner, to
the other hosts and hostesses, es-
corts, etc.-making IL guests in all.
Each hostess. is responsible for the
decorations in her house, and for
favors, II. they are to be provided.
It is well, in threshing out the
details, to plan that the boys or
girls with the largest homes should
take on the more elaborate courses,
leaving the simpler ones to those
with less space, and perhaps little
or no assistance. Although dessert
sounds simple to manage, it will
conclude the dinner, and the games.
dancing and so on will start-so that
hostess should have the largest place
Of all.
The guests start the first course
at, say, o'clock, at the designated
spot, and progress from house to
house until the dessert is reached.
Then, as we said, they settle down
to the fun.
Perhaps this would be the menu.
First Course at Sdlly's:: Assorted
canapes and appetizers such as
