For the sixth time, Norman
Thomas is a candidate for the
Presidency of the United States
on the Socialist ticket and while
he stands no chance Of election,
he has gained in stature and
public approval He has neither
become a slave of the Kremin
nor has he gone over to capt.
taL5m as reaction to asso-
citation with Communism.
This year, 1t is anticipated
that Norman Thomas viii rel
ceive a fairly large protest vote.
For there are some who Just
will not vote for Tom Dewey
and the Republicans; who are
distressed by Trumans' lack of
knowledge and ineptitude; and
who abhor Henry VILLAGES COM
pete subserlvience to the Krem-
lin. They will vote for Thomas
to express their dissatisfaction.
Norman Thomas is a socialist
He believes in the specialization
Of the means Of production and
distribution. He calls attention
to his 1928 program, which
Roosevelt adopted in 1882 in
some of its Immediate provisions
and which, in some respects,
both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties accepted in 1913
Thomas hImsef points to thesel
provisions:
6. the principle of collective
bargaining must be recognized.
eve must have) IAN adequate
national program for flood
control, flood relief, reloresta-
ton, irrigation and reclama-
eve must have) "a system of
heath and accident insurance
and old age pensions as well as
unemployment insurance.
eve favor) Shortening the
work day. securing to every
worker a rest period of no less
than two days in each week.
g. the farmer is entitled to
special consideration because of
the importance of agriculture.
because the farmer is unable to
control the prices of what he
buys and what he sells"
Too much can be made of this.

(A) One day the chlorination
plant of municipal water
works broke down and unpuri-
fled water was passed into the
pipes for several hours before
the equipment was fixed. A
short time later a large number
of townspeople were afflicted
with dysentery, and they sued
the city for damages. The city
protestd that the wave of dy-
sentery was lust a coinci-
dence." However, the court
held the city responsible. The
judge said the employees at the

WCBT is one of the conmun-

1t has a large audience. 1t has
been successful. The Crewes
were among the earliest to put
an AM radio station in a city
of this size. They were equally
in the lead in applying for, and
establishing an FM radio station.
For their courage and for their

IQ) MAY A BOY COLLECT
DAMAGES IF BITTEN BY A
BEAR AT THE ZOO?

(A) The most popular occu-
pant of small city zoo was a
playful black bear. One day
the keeper led the bear out of
his cage and chained him to a
tree in the middle of a grassy
area. Several spectators began
tossing peanuts to the bear, who
eagerly snapped them up, Final
ly one boy, holder than the rest,
got just a little too close. The
bears paw shot out and his
claws raked the boys arm. La
ter the youngster sued the city
for the damages he had suffer-
ed. The court granted his claim
saying the bears keeper should
have had more sense than to
tether a wild animal in such a
public place.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Gov. Earl
Warren, vice presidential candidate:
Clark Gable ana Victor Mature,
actors; Jack Smith, singer, and Lou
Boudreau, baseball manager, yester-
day were named the five most virile
men In America"
The selections were made by the
international Artists Committee, q
group of 40 illustrators. The reason
for the survey Of American men was
given by Reno Biondi, committee
director, thus:
Ever since the advent of the new
look, artists have needed more
virile men as models. An extremely
feminine woman needs a very manly
opposite to bring out the best points
Of both.
These five are about as virile as
you can get. They're positively
loaded with hormones, or appear
to be" r,
Mr.. Biondi said many committee
members wanted to include bald
headed men in the final list but
were overruled.
I'VE felt since the general impress
sion of virility includes hirsuteness
we'd eliminate shiny pates," Mr..
Biondi said.

Before heading toward the State
