MRS VINCENT NOLAN Administratrix of thr Instate of Ben Nolan, Deceased State Bank of Woodstock, Clerking "mrt' >t%~: if & C0N8RK88I0HAL VISWB by Congressman Chatmcey W. JtMd AUCTION Make the Thanksgiving record complete this year. It's easy, with highspeed flltn and amateur flood bulbs -- even if you have an Incxpensifi, camera. » OPBCIAU events--days of special activity--always offer snapshot 3 erial. And Thanksgiving, nui ao off now, Is one of the best of these days, from the standpoint of the camera fan. Thanksgiving picture taking should start before the day itself, if you want a complete record. A shot of the turkey--being purchased or being brought home-- starts off the series nicely. Arrival of visiting relatives means more pictures. Preparations the day before Thanksgiving -- such as the baking of pies or the icing of cakes --these are also possibilities for the camera. Don't overlook human-interest shots as the dinner is being prepared -- such as Johnny peering hopefully into the kitchen, or the turkey emerging from the oven, brown and steaming. Get a shot or two as the table is being set, and the holiday delicacies brought in. A picture of Grandfather or Uncle John carving is practically a "must" on your Thanksgiving Day list. A shot as the wishbone to broken-- that's important, too. And there air* lots of other pictures--along siiat> lar lines--that reflect the spirit of the day, and are of great value in * family record. For indoor shots, use amatear flood bulbs. Two or three of tlSi large bulbs, plus the daylight that comes into the dining room or kitchen, will provide enough light for snapshots on high speed film. The large bulbs burn about three times as long as the small ones. Place the photo lights where they won't be in the way--then snap your pictures unobtrusively, whenever the subject isn't too far away from the lights. With two large bulbs la cardboard reflectors, about five feet from bulbs to subject is correct for box-camera snapshots on highspeed film. Get a really complete record of this year's Thanksgiving. It's fun --and, as you view the pictures later on, you'll agree it's well worth while. •$" John van Gnflder *- CHARLES LEONARD, Auctioneer Phone Woodstqek 478 Having decided to quit farming, and moving to Harvard, I will sell at Public Auction on the Margaret Nolan farm, mile west of St. Patrick's Church in Hartland, lMt miles north of Hartland Station, 6 miles northwest of Woodstock, 7 miles southeast of Harvard, on-- THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16 Commencing at 10:00 sharp, the following described property to-wit: 130 HEAD LIVESTOCK 47 Dairy Cows Mostly Holsteins, nearly all neW milkers and some close springeip, some with calves by side.

It is interesting to note that thirty-two Democrats thirteen Republicans and one Farmer* Laborite who voted for the embargo in July were prevailed upon to oppose it in the November voting and two Republicans and four Democrats who opposed the embargo in July supported it in the recent test. While the will is supposed tor be a cash and carry measure, capital observers point 'put with interest that the House for home unknown reason by a vote of 228 to 196 refused an amendment proposed •by Congressman Wolcott of Michigan which sought to prevent the extension of credit to any belligerent nation by the Reconstruction Finance Corpora tion, the Export-Import bank or other of our federal agencies. Capital observers point out that apparently a majority of members of the House were more "credit" minded than Vcash" minded.,, If serious about the "cash" part tbify would have sustained the Wolcott amendment. In all probability it won't be long before the Johnson Act, which prevents the extension of credit to European defaulters will be repealed. The Dies Committee Mast Be \ Continued That the Dies Committee investigating un-American activities will probably be continued for at least one more year and possibly two, became evident when a Resolution was introduced seeking a two year extension of the life of the Committee. This Committee has brought to light extensive -evidence of the activities of subversive groups that are seeking to undermine ©ur very form of government. A short time ago the Committee disclosed a list of names of several hundred government employees who are on especially friendly terms with a communist front organization, and recently it was disclosed before the Committee that the Communist Party was bending every effort to place as many members as possible on the government payroll with the hope that they) will be of assistance to the Party in J its efforts to overthrow our govern-1 ment It is hoped that the life of the! Dies Committee will be extended. Subversive activities must be uncovered. The safety of our nation depends upon our ability to stop these groups from boring from within. Art The National Gallery of Art endowed by the late Andrew Mellon may eventually house the art collection of j Joseph E. Wldener, Philadelphia cap-1 i t a l i s t . The W i d e n e r c o l l e c t i o n i s v a l -J ued in excess of fifty million dollars. It is reported that Mr. Widener recently made an inspection tour of the beautiful new pink marble National Gallery of Art building which is rapidly nearing completion and well informed capital observers say that Mr. Widener will announce the gift of his art treasures to' the National Gallery within a short time. If the Widener collection is given to the Gallery it will make the second famous art collection that has been donated to It within five months time. During the latter part of July, the National Gallery of Art was the recipient of the famous Italian Art collection of Samuel H. Kress of New York valued in excess of thirty million dollars. If" the Widener gift becomes a reality, and his collection takes its place along side the famous Kress treasures, the National Gallery of Art will he the mecca for art lovers from all parts of the world. ?. • ' Banana OB ^ Oddly enough banana di derived from bananas.'
