BY SALLY LIGHT, Staff Writer
PENNSYLVANIA News Service

Tucked away in the valleys and
wales of half dozen southeastern
counties of Pennsylvania arc the
homes and settlements of some of
the quetest but most industrious peo-
pie of the state.
They don't go in for fancy dress
and rarely make a public utterance.
They live mostly by themselves on
their well-tended farms and homes,
just as their forefathers did
They are known as the Mennonites,
a proud, healthy and energetic sect
of people.
Although the dresses of the women
may be varicolored, they are simply
cut. Traditional white lace caps arc
worn indoors-stiff but dainty. Black
bonnets, tied under the chin. are worn
outdoors. The boys and girls dresses
are often colorcd, but plain and
practical.
The men are picturesque in knee
length black coats and broad-rimmed
hats following traditional lines. These
are made of different materials and
are sometimes family striped.
1t was through the invitation of
liberal-minded William Penn, founder
of Pennsylvania, that the Mennonites
began coming to this state as early
as 1888
They settled in Pequea Valley,
Chester, now Lancaster county. At
first, the Indians subjected them to
severe hardships, but eventually they
found peaceful life which they have
been leading ever since.
By ITS there were over 500 fami-
lies in Lancaster county. 1t is their
descendants who live in Pennsylvania
now and who hold biennial world
conference to perpetuate the order.
Here the delegates gather to make
their reports which have been showing
a steady increase in membership. 1t
is estimated that there are now co.
600 Mennonites throughout the en-
tire United States.
The Mennonites are productive,
hard working and honest. In their
quaintness they lend color and in
tercst to progressive and busy COM
monwealth.
Picty is an outstanding forte with
them as they go about their simple
life. Another basic tenet is opposition
to war. They believe in acquiring the
necessities, but foregoing of the luxu-
rics.
Many are financially comfortable
but they continue to practice thrift
and tolerance as did their forefathers.
1t is interesting to note that essenti-
ally farmers, they chose to make
their homes, for the most part, in the

best fertile valleys of Pennsylvania.
Mennonite settlements today will
be found in Lancaster, York, Mont
gomery, Lebanon, Bucks, Berks and
Chester counties, as we'll as some
parts of Dauphin, Mifflin and Somer-
set counties.
Their houses are small and neat.
Rich earth gives color to well-pat-
termed valleys and sturdy mountains
which form a fitting background for
these believers of simple, solid living.

since March, it is the Republican and
not the Democratic platform that
deals with this vital matter. While
the Republicans advocate additional
expenditures for housing and veter-
ans, they do not attempt to compete
with the spending program of the
Democrats and they do not go nearly
as far in the direction of paternalistic
government or national socialism. On
the contrary, they denounce excess

strongly for economy. The admins

be economical and effective. They in

size and cost of government, the
elimination of waste, the abolition of
overlapping, duplicating and eXtrava-
giant governmental agencies. The
budget must be balanced and the great
debt reduced. The Democrats mention
the debt only casually and the budget
not at all.

For Mr. Truman and the Demo-
Gratis have definitely gone so far to
the left that, by comparison, Govern
or Dewey and the Republicans are
way to the right. For several reas-
ons. the candidates and the platform
of the Third party do not affect this
situation One is that the platform was
framed by the Communists who domi-
mated the Wallace movement and is
about the most added piece of idiocy
ever presented by a political agency.
1t could only appeal to the dimwitted
and gullible Another is because Mr..
Wallace emerged from his Phila-
delphia experience a bedraggled, dis
credited and absurd figure. BY his re-
fusal to say whether or not he had
written the imbecilic Guru letters he
convinced everyone who read the
record or witnessed his performance
that he was, indeed, their author 1t
amounted to public confession and
iustifies the horror which so many
feel when they consider how close this
furtive and silly man came to being
President of the United States. A
third reason is because it is now gen.
orally agreed that Mr. Wallace will
poll an insignificant number of votes
in the coming election-certainly not
enough to affect the result.

The Truman platform leaves them
no excuse. 1t is "libera" almost up
to the Wallace line. Not once in the
entire document does the word econo-

travagance mentioned. Even the re-
hottest suggest Of retrenchment, re-
duction of saving, in order to render
easier the vast expenditures abroad
necessitated by the Marshall plan, is

When to all this is added that for
the first time the Democrats have
abandoned their historic states rights
doctrine; that the Republicans are
less explicit and offensive in their
civil rights declaration and less sub
servient to the union labor bosses, it
is easy to see how accurately one
party can be classed as Left and
Liberal and the other as Right and
Conservative. This distinction could
have been drawn in 1886, in 1910 and

New Manager For Alaska S.S.

The appointment of MT. H. N. Peterson to the position of gen. eral traffic manager of the Alaska Steamship Company was an nounced December 9, by MT. G. w. Skinner, president of the company, as an organizational charge fol- lowing the recent consolidation of the Northland Transportation Company with The Alaska Line.
 MT. Peterson's service with the Alaska Steamship Company dates back to 1918 when he joined the traffic department as stenog- rapher. He rose to assistant gen. eral passenger agent in 1927, to general passenger agent in 1883 and to passenger traffic manager , in l94l, which position he has held up to the present promotion.
 Other charges effective at this time include the appointment of Messrs. J. D. Nelson and Walter J. Manahan to the positions of as siStant general traffic managers, MT. Nelson from freight traffic manager and MT. Manahan from the Northland Transportation Company where he last served as traffic manager.
 Joining the Alaska Line in 1918 also, MT. Nelson advanced to the position of aSSi S ant general freight agent in l927,' general freight agent in 1883 and to the position held before present pro- motion in l94l.
 Mr. Manahan'S steamship career began with the Pacific Steamship Company in 1919 with which com pany he served both in Alaska and West Coast ports in various capa- cities, his last position with that firm being general agent in ket- chikan in 1883. The same year he became assistant manager of the Northland Transportation Com pany with the title of traffic man. ager which position he held until his transfer to the Alaska Steam ship Company.
 Also included in the current changes was MT. R. C. Rose, who was promoted from chief clerk, passenger traffic, to assistant gen. eral agent, headquartered at Pier

ty Of the central government over
the lives and the resources of the
people. He appeals to labor by ad-
vocating the complete repeal of the
Taft-Hartley law, and by calling the
Republican Congress an anti-labOr
body.
Mr.. Dewey, of course, stands
pretty much on the opposite side Of
most of the big domestic issues
Where Mr.. Truman says that the
last Congress was the worst in
American history, Mr.. Dewey says it
was one of the best and endorses its
record. He, like other COP. strate-
gists, argue that the Taft-Hartley
law is protection for legitimate
labor and it's unions. He believes
that a resumption of price control
would lead to a police state, and
that the Truman policies in general
are a threat to the freedom of Am
ericans.. Only on the subject of fore
ign policy are the two candidates in
general agreement. Whichever one
wins, the broad principles underly-
ing that pOlicy-such as a multi
billion dollar aid to Europe and
/ fTmness in our dealing with the So
Wet UniOn-Will be continued.
One interesting facet of the Dew
I ey campaign is his emphasis on bet
ter administration of the govern
ment-On getting necessary jobs
done with less confusion, for less
money, and with a smaller number
of employees for the taxpayers to
support. Here, in the view of many
objective reporters of the national
scene, ne is on firm ground. Some
of Mr. Truman's friends, even, ad-
nit that he has made bad appoint
ments to fill critical jobs on the
high-pOlicy level that he has
made little effort to cut down the
overlapping Federal bureaucracy
that he has often issued statements
that were in conflict with those OF
members of his own official family
and that he has shown only a mod
est gift for organization and admin
istratiOn.
On the other hand, Governor Dew
ey's whole public career, from his
/ gang-bUster days on up to Governor
has been characterized by a re.
markable talent for getting things
done with a minimum of fuss. He be-
lieVes in teamwork, and at Albany
he has surrounded himself with al
extremely able group of assistants
