Washington, D. C., April 9â€"Durâ€" ing the past week thousands upon thousands of letters and telegrams have been delivered at the offices dmmlonh.no!(knmu‘ mmmpoeunrocinhnuto‘ wote against the Organization Bill. No one can possibly:determâ€" ine whether this deluge of messages from "back home" in themselves caused any one member to oppose the bill who might otherwise have supported it. But that they have had some effect upon the attitude of the House no one can very well dispute. 'l‘hlwlombco!Conzuu‘ keeps his "ear‘to the ground." He keeps it especially close to flu‘ ground in an election year. It might be said that in the months immediately preceding the time that the people go to the polls the Conâ€" gressional ear is unusually acute to the rumblings, especially the grumâ€" blings, in the respective districts. He is wel laware that an alert enâ€" deavor to take political advantage of trese rumblings and a‘s the grumblings. He knows, too, it is rather easy to capitalize upon an unpopular vote made at "campaign time" when public feeling runs high on tha question. The opponâ€" ent does not have to gain ldfil‘- ents by manufacturing issues. One is already made for him. We are speaking of the averaze Member of Congress. There are the exceptions, and they are very few indeed, who listen only to the dictates of their own mind and conscience. It is only the exception whe has the intellectual ability ard the courage to strive to formulate public opinion rather than be led by it. _ It Ihtbe rare Member of Conâ€" gress who is nct influenced by some degae by expression of opinion from "back hore." Even if this deluge of mrssages did not change a single vote on the Reorganization Bill, it at least caused the Congress to proceed with care in its conmaeration of the proâ€" posal. The letters and telegrams at least caused many Members of Congress to shink twice before they jumped. And that is a wholssume rasult.

THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON Waukegan and North Chicago Phone Ent. 1616 HAND FINISHED SHIRTS SOFT DRY In order to discredit these messâ€" ages from the people, the Aiminiâ€" stration leaders have contended the amount to nothing more than inspived ‘flopuu.ndn. It has been argued t only partisans wrote letters and sent telegrams, and that they were bought and paid to: by Administration opponents and came on‘y from Eepublicans. A‘ll of us m.ore or less recogmize propaganda when we see it. No doubt letters and telegrams were sent at the mstigation of this arâ€" nization or thet. No doubt some 3 them werée inspired. Bat if those I versonully received are resâ€" resentative â€" of â€" those received by other Members, 1 can honestly rsy there is every indication that the majority of the senders exproised their sincere, korest conviction arâ€" rived at after some thought. Few were identical. Many showed the personality of te writer and many evidenced criginality of thought. and stimulated the opposition. That which might have been only a latâ€" ent or passive opposition was stimâ€" ulated into active resistance. It is not simpiy these letters and telegrams that bave created the opâ€" position to the Reorganization Bill. Nor is it the result of prsisure from home in un election year. In fact, it is not even the Reorgunizaâ€" tion Bill as such that has aroused so much opposition to it. That which has aroused fears and cuncern among the people and in Congress over this particular bill is more than the delegation uf power which the measure itself »>uld make. Kather there is anâ€" xiety because this bill represents another delegation of power withâ€" au: sufficient checks being réetaiaed by Congress. ltâ€"is the fact that it is another and rot just one Jelogaâ€" tion of power that concerns the people. In other words, if we are to unâ€" destand what lies behind the bitter opposition to the Reorganization Bill, we must look at more than the bill itself. We must look at the delegations of power on other matâ€" ters which Congress has made to the executive. The people gre aronsed to the darigers of a continâ€" uation of this procedure. The Reâ€" organization Bill itself will not deâ€" stroy oar form of government but the continuous following of the theâ€" ory of the proposal will mean an end to demecstic processes. The Reorganizatin Bill itself will not create a dictator, That is a misconception of theâ€" contents of the measure. But the powers alâ€" ready déelegated, the power this bill wil, delegate and a continuation of that â€"philosophy will most certain‘y create a complete oneâ€"man governâ€" ment. I interpret many of the communications I have received against the Reorganization Bill to indicate that the people desire an end to the philosophy of goverpâ€" ment it exemplifies. Subscribe for the PRESS Deerfield Postmaster Announces National Air Mail Week in May Postmaster John J. Weich anâ€" nounces that during ".:nkrrlod May 15th to 21st, 1938, has been designated "National Air Mail Week," the Post Office department will commemorate the 20th anniverâ€" sary of regular air mail service and desires to acquaint the public with a brief view of its history, which is as follows: From New York to Washington in 1918. All over the world in 1938. That is the progress the Post Ofâ€" fice department has made in the transmission of mail by means of aircraft. Since the first regular aerial mail transportation route was establishâ€" ed in the year 1918, the air mail service has developed in such rapid strides that today it is one of the most important features of the postal service. The 218â€"mile air system has exâ€" panded to 30,500 miles in the forâ€" eign system and 32,376 miles in the domestic system, a total of 62,826 miles. Planes flew last year on these great systems a total of over 70 milâ€" lion miles. In addition, there is doâ€" mestic service in the Hawaiian Isâ€" lands and star routes, using plane service, in Alaska. Foreign routes serve Mexico, Central and South America, the West Indies, Hawaii, Midway, Wake, Guam, Philippines, the Orient and Bermuda. It is exâ€" pected that the service will soon be extended to Europe. e Air Mail leaving Deerfield at 6 p. m. connects with airlines to all points in the United States the same evening. It takes approximately 24 hours to the west coast and 8 hours to the east coast. It is earnestly hoped that all paâ€" trons will consider this movement worthy of their full support, not only to assist in the expansion of air mail service which will result by the use of air mail, but to stimulate greater interest in aviation generalâ€" ly as a development highly advanâ€" tageous to the welfare of the nation. The largest and most exciting election in the history of the Deerâ€" field Grammar school was held Satâ€" urday with 726 votes cast. There were 148 straight ballots for the McRoy ticket and 46 straight votes for the opposing ticket. James Rusâ€" sell ran independently. M. B.

Must Enforce Motor Vehicle License Law Another plea for enforcement of the Motor Vehicle license law by local officers and police of the State Highway division was issued today by Secretary of State Edward J Hughes® through the State Autoâ€" mobile department. Plates have been available to all motorists since Dec. 14 and warnâ€" ings have been given in the months of February and March. Failure to abide by the law is a serious hindrance ;to the enforcement of other laws and interferes in the apâ€" prehension of criminals because of difficulty in tracing cars through liâ€" censes. ‘The Motor Vehicle Law stipulates Jan. 1 as the dead for the purchase of license plates. 101 N.

ALLIED VAN LINES Since the beginning of time the world has been cursed with conâ€" fiicts, some apparently excusable, some ‘ apparently inexcusable, but all, in the last analysis, absolutely unnecessary. In investigating the fundamental causes of war, one finds greed, stupidity, hate, envy, lustâ€"a whole gamut of emotionsâ€" plus one other trait or characterâ€" istic, a trait that lurks in all male breasts. To define this peculiar and universal characteristic is virtually impossible; to portray it, somewhat easier. On May 6 at the Deerfield Grammar school, the Stagers will present, in their production of "Men Must Fight," an interpretaâ€" "Men Must Fight" Next Production of Deerfleld Stagers Instructor in Piano and Pedagogy of Music 40 Deere Park Drive, South â€" Tel. Highland Park 1044 AGENT FOR Roger Balke â€" Instructor in Piano and Musical Theory Annemarie Wirzâ€"Balke ever built. Owners all over the country report averages of 22 to 27 miles on a single gallon of gasoline. But economy isn‘t all the story by any means. The Standard "60" is built with the same precision as the De Luxe "85," and has the same 112â€"inch wheelbase chassis. It is easy to look at and ride in tion of this particular bit of human psychology. In this drama, packed with tense moments, rich in irony, pity and deep feeling, an American family is displayed, a family torn between pacifism and patriotic duty. Fatherly duty, mother love, doubt; despair, obligations to one‘s country as opposed to obligations‘ to one‘s conscience will appear on the mirâ€" rorâ€"like stage, literally a mirror beâ€" cause of the accurate portrayals the authors have drawn, portrayals which will reach the hearts of all audiences. Without taking sides on any isgue, the final decision is left up to the spectator, in which fact lies the great power of this drama, by far the most potent of producâ€" tions presented by the Stagers to date.
