Despite lots of antagonism from
sports quarters, and lots of praise
irom the merchants, President Roo-
sevelt will stand by his recent an-
nouncement that he will proclaim
Thanksgiving Day on November 23,
instead of the fifth and last Thurs-
day of the month. He also announces
in advance that November 21st, the
third Thursday in the month, will
be proclaimed Thanksgiving Day in
1940, thus giving the calendar mak-
ers and football promoters a full
vear in which to make their dates.
While some state governors declare
their intention to ignore the procla-
mation of the President, this year,
Governor James of our own state,
says he will follow the wishes of
the President and recognize Novem-
ber 23, as the holiday.

opposition at the primary in his
quest for nomination as County Con-

should not neglect to give him a
complimentary vote. That he will

By this time next week the pri-
mary election will be over and the
nomination winners will be known.
At this time, in the case of some of
the offices, neither party can do a
thing but guess at the results. Some
of the contests promise to be close,
from all appearances, particularly in
the commissionership race in both
Republican and Democratic ballots.
All through this campaign, the
Press-Courier has contended that
the northern portion of Cambria
county is entitled to representation
on the board of commissioners, and
no one has aitempted to refute the
claim. Over a long period of years
we have heard voters deplore the
fact that Johnstown always gets the
commissioners and we should have
done something at previous elections.
In previous years, we of the north
of the county, in both parties, have
usually managed to get two or more
candidates in the field at the pri-
maries, with the result that these
candidates siaughtered their votes,
and the south was “sitting pretty.”
This year the story is different. For
perhaps the first time since the
turn of the century, oniy one can-
didate from the north appears on
either ballot. They are George C.
Hoppel of Patton, and William R.
Stich of Spangler. Voters in the
north of Cambria county, who have
the interests of the north county
really at heart should make one of
these men their choice together with
any other of their picking on pri-
mary day.

What do the printers think of be-
ing ousted from the AFL? Senti-
ment of an important part of the
International Typographical Union's
membership on the AFL demand to
pay assessments to fight the CIO
was voiced by Elmer Brown, Presi-
dent of Local No. 6, of New York
City: “We will never pay a tax to
fight another union,” he said “Nor
will we contribute one cent to de-
stroy any organization which is
working in the interests of labor.”
Following his recommendation, the
local passed a resolution urging the
ITU convention to “take no action
that might compromise the tradi-
tional and long established indepen-
dence of the ITU.”

to par among voters for the coming
primary, and now with the situation
such as it is in Europe, the interest
has gone down a good many more
points. The candidate has only one
recourse, and that is he must get out
and sce the voters personally, and ask
them to do their “bit.” The national
situation, the WPA, the elcetion—all
have been scuttled into back pages.

That's one thing that Stale Sena-
tor John J. Haluska, now a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for county treasurer, could ever be
accused of. Mr. Haluska, who has
been through many a county cam-
paign, and one state-wide tussle, has
always recognized that his money
should be spent in the districts
wherein he sought votes. Incidental-
ly, Haluska is making rapid progress
in his campaign, and most all obser-
vers accord him the strength to be
nominated easily. Senator Haluska
has a labor record and background
that our readers well know. In his
aspirations to be county treasurer,
he asks the continued support of his
past friends, as well as the new.
such as to merit the support of the
mine workers and other members of
organized labor. Upon our request we
wrote Mr. Hibbs and asked him to give
us a brief resume of himself, and sub-
stantially we received the following:
W. Lloyd Hibbs was born in Juniata
county, Pa., in 1882, and since 1895 has
been a resident of Cambria county. His
early education was obtained in the
Cresson public schools and after earn-
ing sufficient money as a locomotive
fireman for the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, he attended and is a gradu-
ate of Dickinson College and Dickin-
son School of Law. Since his admission
to the bar in 1910, he has practiced law
in this county with offices in Ebens-
burg and Cresson. On our own part,
we might state here, that Mr. Hibbs
has the confidence of the people who
District Attorney of Cambria County,
by counseling with justices of the |
peace, the magistrates and constables,
he weeded out trivial cases and unnec-
essary witnesses, and, as a result, re-
duced the number of cases returned to
court by more than one-third. In dol-
lars and cents, this effected a saving to
he taxpayers of at least $25,000.00 a |
vear. Law and order prevailed during
his administration.
°
As a Worxmenss Compensation
Referee for the Seventh District, be-
cause of the character of his work,
he received the written and personal
commendation of the Chairman of
the Workmen's Compensation Board,
Hon. David L. Ullman, for his “sane
and intelligent handling of the cases”
before him, and his “fair and com-
| and courteous treatment to all who had
| problems for consultation with him. As
the father of six children, he is inter-
| ested in making Cambria County a
| cleaner and better place in which to
| live. As a lawyer and former District
Attorney, he understands the prob-
| lems which confront the District At-
| torney, and possesses the sound judg-
ment with which to meet them. As a
| citizen, he has stood, and will stand,
| for the principles of our Democratic
| form of government and the basic in-
stitutions which sustain it, and pledges
| the influence of the office of District
| Attorney in backing up the work
| which the home, the school, the church
| and community effort are doing to
| create a wholesome environment in
| our county. He is sincere and earnest
| and his past record is a guarantee of
his future performance.
