(Political Advertisement) THE PRIMARIES I truly believe that our approaching November election will be the most important and vital of any that has been held since the election in 1860, when Abraham Lincoln was elected President. While every indication points to a sweeping Republican victory at our November election, we must--remember that no *political battle. Was ever won without an effort, and the larger Republican vote we can get to the polls on Primary day, the greater will be our victory at the November election. * . ' Let's all put our shoulders to the wheel," and get out the largest Republican vote on primary day ever cast in this county, ^ | •. 'iK A Very respectfully yours, CHARLES P. BARNES.

RINGWOOD 'S"V. mm How WPA Brings lfight r~~' to Youth of America New York.--Students of the Stuyvesant high school, assembled for a presentation of a wholesome little skit called "School Days," as presented by actors of the WPA drama project here, found themselves suddenly whisked into the giddy whirl of Parisian night Hftv while faculty members murmured to themselves that "school was never like this for us." Through a change in the cataloging of WPA plays, "School Daxs," known as Play 4A, was re-numbered 3A. Play 4A b£came__'-Parisian Nigkts," a spiCy revue for presentation at vettrans'" hospitals and other places where the WPA felt It might be appro ciated. When 4A was ordered for the high school, "Parisian Nights'- instead of "School Days" was sent out.
