Heres What A Presidential Election
by The House Of Representative Means

candidate received majority on
the first ballot, the voting would
have continued until one did.
The Daily National Intelli-
gencer' of Washington comment
ed at length editorially on the
conduct of the election. 1t noted
the collaboration and calmness"
which characterized the conduct
of the members of the House ::
the order and regularity" of the
proceedings, and the "forebear-
ance on the part of the victors,
and the sober resignation of the
vanquished friends of the sew
eral candidates, on the result be-
ing ascertained."
In 1887, when Martin Van Bur-
en- was elected President by the
Electoral College, none of the
four vice presidential candidates
received the required majority.
In conformance with the Con-
stitutlon, the Senate then had to
choose between the two top can
didates-Richard M. johnson
and Francis Granger. The pro-
cedure differed radically from
that followed by the House in
naming Adams. The secretary
of the Senate called the names
of the senators in alphabetical
order, with each senator voting
his choice. johnson received a
majority and was declared elect
ed.

All Farms Need
First Aid Kits

First aid kits are essential
equipment on every farm" de-
clared w. o. Davis, Halifax coun-
ty agent for the State College
Extension Service, here this
week. Facilities for prompt
treatment Of injury may save a
life or prevent serious infection,
he asserted
According to recommendations
of the National Safety Council
Davis said, good first aid kits
need not be expensive or diff
cult to provide. Home made kits
containing the essential medica-
tons, drugs, and dressings may
serve equally as we'll as the
more costly prepared kits on tha
market, he added.
The Extension agent recon-
mended the following materials
for assembling a good first aid
kit:
A tight box, preferably metal
such as small cash or fish
tackle box: rolls of adhesive
tape Of yaring widths, sterile
cotton, swabs and sticks. sterile
white cloth for bandages anc
tourniquets, matches, ointment
for burns, tinture of iodine
boric acid, tincture of merthio
late, tincture of benzoin, liquid
green soap or benzine, and rub
bing alcohol.

British Hail
New Jet Plane

LANGLEY, Eng. -(AP)- Br-
titan has put its newest jet figh-
ter plane-said to be capable of
flying faster and further h n
any comparable jet aircraft TIL
rough its first public exhibition.
The plane, built for the navy
by the Hawker Aircraft Co.. has
been flown at over 900 miles an
hour. The government has not
disclosed details of its speed or
range.
Designed primarily as a car
rierborne fighter, the ship has
folding wings. Its most revo-
lutionary feature is that two air
intakes for its single Rolls Ro-
yce engine are situated at the
wing roots, patent arrange
ment enabling the exhaust to be
discharged from two positions
in the trailing edge instead of
from one central exhaust at the
trail end of the fuselage. The
device allows more room for
bullt-in fuel tanks, thus provid-
ing greater range.

Buffalo Boom
Being Urged
For Brazil

RIO DE JAMEIRO -(AP)-
The Indian buffalo will be the
animal of the future in the ANA
ION valley" says the Brazilian
Minister of Agriculture, Daniel
de Carvalho. "a big agricultur
al plan to recover the rich lands
of the Amazon region is under
way. The buffalo would be a
great help to feed farmers 1t
will give milk and meat. The
buffalo lives there at ease. 1t
has found an excellent climate
and no other region for natural
conditions fit it better" he says.
Buffalo already exist in Bra
I'll. Still their breeding is not
yet spread throughout the coun-
try. Some herds can be found
in the Marajo island, at the mo-
nth of the Amazon River. From
this great fluvial island buffalo
meat is sent to Belem, city
of 100000. Small herds are also
found in the States of Para, Al
agoas, Bahia, Estado do Rio and
Minas Gerais.
j. Seara, an expert of the
Brazilian Ministry of Agricult-
ure, said he thinks it is a good
idea to intensity the breeding of
buffalos in the Amazon region.
The Indian buffalo is the most
resistant domesticated animal I
know, he said. 1t can easily
adapt itself to its climate. 1t
never contracts consumption.
Its milk has more nourishing
value than ordinary m | k.
These reasons have con
WINGED me that the time has ar
rived to start with great buffalo
herds in the Amazon regions. 1t
will make smoother the hard
task of conquering the jungles.
1t will greatly help man to set
tie in regions where he would
feel safe to get good milk and
good meat. Brazil is a tropical
country. The Indian buffalo is
tropical animal. So it is, OF
course, the animal of our hot
lands in the Equatorian lati-
tude."

Washington (AP)-You've prob
ably heard lot of talk in this
election year about the possibi-
lity a President may be elected
by the House of Representatives
This would happen only if none
OF the Presidential candidates
received a majority, 266, of the
53l Electoral College votes cast
by the 4S states in December.
Then the House would be re-
CURED under the Constitution to
select a President from the three
top candidates. The election
would be held in January. Each
state delegation would have one
vote.
The last time the House elect
ed president was in 1924. Then
the electoral vote totaled only
26l, divided among "a states, and
four candidates - John Quincy
Adams, Andrew jackson, Henry
Clay and William Crawford.

Congress awarded the 1876 cleo

The 18th amendment passed
In 1904 governed the election. But
within its framework the House
established some rules for pro-
cedure. The rules passed by the
House in 1925 were not binding
on succeeding Congresses. But
they did establish a precedent
and shed some light on how the
House would set about the lob
OF naming chief executive.
They required that member

Dry Cleaning Hints
Offered By Agent

Pointing out that drycleanins
rishaps increase during fail and
winter months when the activi-
ties of the housewife are more
confined to the house,
| Miss Florence Cox, Halifax
County home demonstration
agent for the State College
Extension Service, today urged
homemakers to exercise care in
using drycleaning materials.
Home drycleaning with flam-
mable cleaning fluid she sid, has
dlsfigured or fatally injured
many persons, and has burned
houses to the ground or demo-
lished them by explosion. She
added that the National Safety
Council recommends commercial
drycleaning as less expensive,
more effective, and rnuch safer.
For persons who find it ncces-
sary to do their own dry cleaning
at home Miss Co. warned that
it is. imperative to Use only a
non-flammable cleaning fluid.
She added that a fluid may be
marked "non-explosive' and still
be flammable.
Never. under any circumstan-
ces, use gasoline, naptha, or kero-
sens for garment-cleaning pur-
poses,' she stated.
The home agent said the fol-
lowing rules, suggested by the
National Safety Council, should
be observed at all times.
Do the drycleanlng outside the
home, where toxic and other
vapors will be quickly dissipated.

Freezing Foods
By Jean Steele, Home Agent

It is time to get ready to freeze
strawberries and rhubarb. Do not
wait too late to get containers. II
is more satisfactory to buy the kline
you want than to get the assorted
boxes for those usually contain some
of the ice cream type containers
which are not vapor proof moisture
proof.
One may get cardboard cartons
with cellophane bags inside, a more
expensive cardboard carton with a
plastic bag" that may be used and
washed in hot water and used again
or the glass jars that can be used
indefinitely though it takes more
space in the locker.
Select your containers from one
of those three types of containers in
large enough quantities to, last sew
eraI weeks. 1t is not advisable to
get the cellophane bags for two
years for when they dry out and
become brittle they should not be
used

Chapter For FEPC

ter the work by cutting off it's
funds.
Spurred by the advances made
during the wal by the FEPC, a
movement was launched to obtain
the passage of a permanent FEPC,
The National Council for a Per-
manent FEPC was the organiza-
tons name. Each year a bill has
reached the floor of the Senate
only to fail Of passage because
of the usual tolerated soutahern
filibuster. The most consistent and
sincere supporters of the bill have
been Senator Dennis Chavez (DI(
N. MO who authored it, and Sen
ator Glen Taylor 3D., Idaho),
candidate for vice president on
the Independent Henry Wallace
ticket.
The National Council is putting
on a renewed drive to get favor
able action on current proposed
FEPC legislation. 1t is centering
it's fight around three important
factors: First, the success of state
FEPC in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, and others, and in
municipalities such as Philadel-
phia, Pa; second, the campaign
promises Of the Republican party
which is unhampered by a south
ern pustule; and third, by the
support of prominent personages
such as Henry Luce, Beardsley

Charles H. Tuttle, Eric Johnson
and Nelson A. Rockefeller among
others.
But even this is not enough.

Missing Parts Of
Traffic Light
Cause for DELAY
BY Jimmie N. Jones

In answer to many questions re-
garding the installation of the
traffic light at the intersection of
Germantown and Euclid avenue,
as mentioned sometime ago thru
our column, has been brought to
light. In an interview with Fred
Bowers, sponsor of the move, to
install the light at the dangerous
cross section of the West Side,
Mr.. Bowers stated he had con-
tacted the officials in charge of
the lighting system and found the
light had been received by the
city officials but three main parts
of the set had been damaged thru
shipment and would have to be
replaced before the installation
could be carried out.
The parts will have to be sent
from the factory and just as soon
as they arrive, work will begin.
Since the intersection where the
lights are to be placed is n of
the most difficult in the city, the
the system had to have special de-
sign and with more than the usual
pattern used in other parts of the
city. the missing parts are of vi
tai Importance in order to make
the system fit inv it'll the plans
for the type of traffic in the
area.
City officials pointed out the
change of the present system at
the intersection of Germantown
and Summit street will have to be
made in order to coinside with the
proposed system at the Euclid
avenue in order to meet with the
traffic flow westward from the
Summit street point.
