The Lexington Advertiser
A number of excellent and can
able gentlemen are running for
the office of governor of Missis-
sippl' and some of our people
may want to support one of them
and some another. 1t is up to all
OF us to vote for the man we think
will make the best governor. One
candidate advocates doing away
entirely with prohibition in our
state. During the past years the
hoblest laymen and ministers in
our county have worked hard to
make prohibition a law and have
been of the opinion that it did lots
OF good, even if it was not perfect.
The drinking of Intoxicating Ii
quors is a very great evil - one
of the greatest in the world. It is
responsible for a great many
crimes and for a great number of
ruined lives. Any law that is
against the public sale and use of
alcoholic drinks is a good law. 1t
is not to the credit or the character
OF Franklin d. Roosevelt that in
the national election of 1882 he
helped to destroy national prohi-
bltion. Any man that advocates
doing away with state prohibition
in favor of the open saloon or
unhampered drinking is not fit to
be elected governor of our state.
His leadership is not the type we
need, regardless of the mans per-
sonal character.

The Federal Housing Admin
istration has warned the owner Of
one large apartment development
in the District area to cease and
desist" from renting Veterans
Emergency Housing Program
apartments as luxury hotel space,
it was learned today.
The agency's policy, a spokes-
man said. prohibits renting as
hotel accommodations any of the
nearly $4,000 postwar District area
apartments built with FILA fl
nancing.
What is more, FILA policy now
forbids owners to furnish apart
ments and ask higher rents than
for the unfurnished units.
Exceptions to Policy.
Three exceptions have been
made to this policy. however, the
agency said, but rentals on a fur
nished basis must be approved by
FHA.
The three exceptions are Will
ston Apartments, which was per-
mitted to furnish 1913 units; Glass
manor Apartments, which was
allowed to furnish 40 units, and
Chesapeake Terrace Apartments,
which received an okay to furnish
"a apartments.
The development that violated
the FILA rules against furnishing
apartments without having had
prior approval is in Virginia. II
also violated the rule against rent
ing space for transient hotel use
The Veterans Emergency Hous-
ing Program was approved by
Congress as a means of providing
residential space, with veterans
given preference. and not to pro-
vide hotel space, an FILA spokes-
man said.
Told to Stop Practice.
The Virginia development
which was made possible through
Government-aided financing anc
which has been renting some o1
its apartments for transient hote
use, was requested to stop the
practice at least six weeks ago

The FHA official said consider
able pressure" had been build
ing Cp on the part of some
owners of Government-aid
apartment developments to per-
suade FHA to allow apartments
to be furnished so that they could
be reGted at higher rates, either
on a transient or permanent basis.

made to permit any more apart

This recent practice on the part
of some owners of privately f.
nance:i apartments built prior to

ments and boost rates has re-
moved a considerable number OF

has served to raise the average

SPEAKER AT
CENTURY CLUB
Mrs. Paul Kellogg, of Dover,
Addresses Club on "Re-
ligiOn in the Home"
PAINTINGS EXHIBITED

Mrs. Paul Kellogg, of Dover,
talked on Religion in the Home"
during the program at the Twen-
tieth Century Club last Friday. She
defined religion as something that
goes deeper than the formal ex-
pressions of it which was part of
the life of our forebearers; "it is
a way of life, expressed every min
ute" she stated, saying it could
be adapted to all religions. The
quality is not static one, accord
ing to the speaker, but we are
building it every day, for good or
ill. We represent our rtligion every
hour of every day, in all we do, in
our feelings and actions. 1--WE are
our religion to our children" Mrs.
Kellogg continued, and it can be
impaired by talking about it, our
attitude toward people of other
races and classes; toward strang-
ers; toward the Church, which
some build up by attending regu-
Iarly. She repeated the definition
given by child of the Beatitudes:
"The attitudes we ought to be at. ;"
She stressed the Importance of
good reading matter in the home.
'FWhat is our attitude toward
money our obligations do We
ketp our word is our conversation
honest? do we take concern for
those less fortunate? are we will
ing to help in our community 2"
she questioned. In conclusion Mrs.
Kellogg urged her hearers to stand
up for what they know to be right,
even if it makes for unpopularity.
Mrs. Fred Heinold, Sr., arranged
the program, which included the
reading of two poems, one of them
original, by Miss Julia Griffith.
Mrs. Jonathan Willis, Milford, 1850
Delaware Mother, gave brief
talk; Mrs. r. o. Bausman, New
ark, state chairman, American
Homes, and Mrs. Wilson Vinyard,
Kent County chairman, Fine Arts,
were present. Mrs. Vinyard con-
graduated the club on it's splendid
work in the arts. Miss Doris
Slaughter sang my Task" and
'''The Lords Prayer" accompanied
10y Mrs. John Fearon.
Paintings Exhibited
The exhibits of art at the club
included five paintings by Jeanette
Slocum Edwards, Wilmington;
Cooley Presentations or Embroid-
cry Transfers, Circa 1870, owned

ample of embroidery picture of the
10th century; hand-quilted appli-
qued quilt; and Peter Hunt designs
of "Transformagic," method to
transform old, discarded objects,
which, in other words: there is
more to this than hearts and flow
ers decorations" Mrs. John Schaf-
