vv Havey Is Made Cadet Captain Local Man Physics Major At Lehigh C. Russell Havey, Shrine Acres, has been promoted to the rank of Cadet ‘Captain in the Advance Course of the Air Force Reserve Of- ficers’ Training Corps at Lehigh Uni- versity, according to an announce- ment made by Colonel Earl J. Ber- ryhill, head of the Department of Air Science. He is pursuing a course in En- gineering Physics and at the same time taking a two-year course of advance study in Air Science which will lead to a Second Lieutenant Re- serve Commission in the United States Air Force upon graduation in 1955. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. from Wyoming High School where he was a member of various school clubs and sport activities. He is also a member of the Le- high chapter of Kappa Sigma Fra- ternity. Colonel Berryhill emphasized that the Cadets enrolled in this year’s ROTC program represent some of the finest young men in the nation in that they have been very care- fully selected for their skill poten- tial, educational background, and citizenship officer qualities, Doctor Mailey Foretold Republican Losses (Continued from Page One) a little better, than the minority. “There is a divergence between presidential and congressional lead- ership. And there is a difficulty in formulating and advocating a presi- dential view at a mid-term election.” “The minority has a chance of picking up seats in close districts, perhaps fifty to seventy-five mar- ginal districts.” “The story is entirely different appeal of the candidate may be of much greater weight than in House contests. The Senatorial constitu- encies are likely to have a diversity that tends to underrate views. The House has more homogeneous con- stituencies.” “The Majority Party has less dif- ficulty than the Minority in present- ing a united front, as I stated ear- Jier in the discussion, because the president is a leader and the party has a program in the record.” | Glance At History “If you will just look back through history yeu will find that the politi- cal habits of this Country do not accept, as quite proper, the proposi- tion that the president should make an appeal to elect a Congress favor- able to himself. And the sentiment is, at mid-term elections, that sena- tors and representatives should be ambassadors of the localities in Washington. The individual legisla- tor should remain independent in his views, otherwise he becomes lit- tle more than a rubber stamp.” “Now again look at the records of past history—President Woodrow Wilson made a real blunder in 1918, but Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942 exercised real shrewdness and said nothing, whatever, on the matter of having a Congress favorable to him.” “A president should not make an appeal, and if you will study care- fully each administration in the past you will find that every president who entered a mid-term campaign has lost the campaign. And that goes for the minority party. It has been proven that presidents have not been able to transfer their populari- ty to their candidates, for the sim- ple reason that voters seem to re- sent his. Because of the number of factors which enter into this type of election it has been found, down through the Country’s history, with few exceptions, that the party in power loses between twenty and twenty-five seats. And I am sorry to have to say this to those Re- publicans in this audience.” “Let's go back to 1950—President Truman made only one trip across the Country and the Democrats lost five Senate and thirty House seats.” In 1928 Franklin D. Roosevelt even went into the primaries and won one out of nine.” “In 1918 Woodrow Wilson sought the House since th: Senate was Democratic—the Democrats lost six Senate and nineteen House seats; and the Republicans controlled both houses.” “Ih 1906 Theodore Roosevelt sought a Republican Congress and as a result the Republicans lost twenty-eight seats in the House.” “In 1898 President McKinley sought a Republican Congress and the Republicans lost twenty-one seats in the House. “In 1866 President Johnson want- ad to underrate the Reconstruction FOR TRULY NATURAL HEARING, You need a MICROTONE® Many aids will help you hear—But it takes a Micro- tone to bring you superb sound reproduction!

And President Eisenhower himself has not attacked the Democratic Party to create pres- tige for his own party. He is still a hero and no Democrat in his right mind will challenge that. But the fact that he, Eisenhower, has not challenged the Democratic Party has lead people to beliece that the step is normally Democratic, so that Re- publicans will be going to a normal trend which shows up in our history. After two years the voters still think of Eisenhower on one hand, and the Republican party on the other—two entirely separate con- cepts. The Democrats remind voters that the Republican party is a party of depression and unemployment and that absolutely nc confidence has been created in the Republican party. And if the Democrats do win it will be because the Republicans have not done enough to build up the prestige of the party.” “As far as statistics show, the trend of the government has been Democratic. But the Republicans still feel that they can make the Senate. Jointure Board Discusses New Vocational Idea (Continued from Page One) studying. Towanda High School March 8, 9, 10.

FINKELSTEINS %2 Main Street \ Luzerne (Over 40 Years On Main St.) Farm Census To Start Monday Farmers Asked To Fill Questionnaires Field work in the 1954 Census of Agriculture gets underway locally on Monday when a force of enum- erators will start visiting every farm in the area. Farm census questionaires have been mailed to all farm operators. The enumerators will visit all local farms to collect the questionnaires and, if necessary, assist the farmer in filling out the report form. The 1954 Cenus of Agriculture is the 16th in a series of nationwide farm enumerations, the first of which was conducted in 1840. The Census of Agriculture is taken at five-year intervals to provide up to date statistical information about more than five million farms which supply food and raw materials for manufacture of goods used by the people of the United States, now numbering about 162.5 million. The current census will yield informa- tion on the number and size of farms, acreage and harvest of crops, livestock production and inventor- ies, selected farm facilities and equipment and selected farm ex- penitures. Field Supervisor Dr. John J. Stoudt emphasized that all infor- mation about individuals and their farm operations furnished to the Census Bureau is held in absolute confidence under Federal law. It is used only to provide summary fig- ures such as totals, averages, and percentages. The information on an individual report cannot be furnish- ed to any one other than sworn Census employees and thus cannot be used for investigation taxation or regulation.
