Do You Think Roosevelt Should Be Elected
For A Fourth Term?
Lib Young: “I definitely think
Roosevelt should be elected for a
fourth term. He knows the situa
tion overseas as well as here at
home better than anyone else.”
Carolyn Hobson, Wilma Dean
Latta, and Ruth Turner are in
favor of the President’s being
elected for a fourth term, because,
as they put it, “it’s unwise to
change horses in the middle of the
stream.”
Ann McGirt: “I believe it would
be better not to even have a war
time election. However, I don’t
believe Roosevelt would win if he
was nominated.”
Mary Lib Martin; “I think that
we of America shouldn’t spend so
much time fussing over politics
during war time. It would be bet
ter not to have a wartime election
at all, in my opinion. Roosevelt
has a fuller knowledge of the world
situation than anyone in Wash
ington. Also, some people think
that his election for a fourth term
would lead to a dictatorship, but
if we don’t win the war we’ll
have a dictator telling us what to
do anyway.”
Peggy Kimrey: “I think Roose
velt should be allowed to remain
at the helm until the war is over.
If another man took over, I’m
afraid there’d be a slight mix-up
in affairs.”
Barbara Cook: “I think that
since Roosevelt has been in office
for twelve years, it’s time to let
someone else take over.”
Ann Clement says that she is all
in favor of Roosevelt’s being elect
ed for a fourth term—“Why? He’s
just a good piece!”
Melba Bailey, Flora Ann Nowell,
and Sue Anderson believe that
since Roosevelt knows more about
the affairs of the nation, he should
be President until the war’s end
and that there should be no elec
tion until then.
India Boozer: “It is my belief
that Roosevelt is the only one who
can pull the United States out
of the situation it’s now in. In
my opinion, he’s done more for
us than any other President we’ve
ever had.”
Kathy Lee is of the opinion
that it’s someone else’s turn now.
As she puts it, “If one man re
mains President for such a long
time, our country will turn into a
monarchy instead of a democracy.
For this reason, I’m not in favor
of Roosevelt’s being re-elected.”
Shirley Runnings, Bradeene
Blackmon, and B. J. Jenkins voice
the opinion that it would be un
wise to change hands during a

crisis such as our country is now
in. They believe that Roosevelt
should remain in office until the
war is over and that we should
wait until then to hold our next
Presidential election.
Mary Sue Searcy: “After all, we
don’t want a dictatorship. Al
though I’m a Democrat, I think it
would be dangerous to elect Roose
velt for a fourth term.”
Kitty Cooper, like many others,
sufficiently says that “you can’t
change horses in the middle of the
stream.”
Jayne Alice Blanton and Mozelle
Hooks think it would be the best
idea for Roosevelt to stay in office
until the war is over. They explain
it this way: “I think that if we
put a new man in office who
doesn’t know much about the af
fairs of the nation, the enemy will
gain by it. They will think that
since we are arguing about who
will run the country we will lose
much time, money, and energy. It
will at least boost their morale, if
not hinder us in winning the war.”
Jane King: “I certainly am in
favor of the President’s being re
elected in 1944. He knows more
about the situation we’re in now
than anyone else does, and I think
he is the only one who can
straighten things up.”
Sarah Bangle says that Roose
velt knows a lot about the war
and our part in it and that be
cause of this, if for no other rea
son, he should remain President
until the war’s end. She also is
of the opinion that there should
be no wartime election.
“I think,” says Jackie Lowry,
“that if the country changes its
principal leader during this crisis,
there will be a disruption in the
affairs of our nation. Therefore, I
strongly believe that President
Roosevelt should be re-elected in
1944.”
Rachel Nanney thinks twelve
years is long enough for one
person to hold an office. She be
lieves that should Roosevelt stay
in office, he will soon become phy
sically disabled as a result of the
past years of hard work. She is
not in favor of the President’s be
ing re-elected, but she emphasizes
the fact that she is not in favor
of Wendell Willkie either.
Ruth Ann Barber says enthusi
astically, “I think it’d be a swell
idea for the President to remain in
office another term. I think Mr.
Roosevelt is a wonderful person
and I believe the country would
profit by his remaining in office.”

HOW TO LOSE FRIENDS
AND HUMILIATE PEOPLE
By ANNE
How many A’s and B’s have you
made after reading “Classroom
Conduct”? I just know you came
through six weeks tests with flying
colors.
Have you written to that boy
friend lately who is overseas?
Well, if you haven’t, it’s a crying
shame—so just take out your hand
kerchief and cry right now. Makes
you feel better, doesn’t it?
All this serves to bring up my
topic for the week. It is as fol
lows: “How to Keep Up the Sol
dier Morale” or “Listen Vamp, Go
Slap on the Stamp.”
First of all you have got to find
someone to write to. 'This should
be simple enough.- Peek in the
numerous boxes in the post office
until you find a name that par
ticularly appeals to you. Or per
haps you have a co-operative fri&nd
or roommate who will allow you
to add a Postscript to her let
ters. Gradually increase the size
of your P. S. until it will re
quire three cents to carry it alone.
From this point on it is pretty
much up to you, so start your cor
respondence now. Don’t letter
nother day go by.
Perhaps you already have a man
of your own. My, but you’re lucky!
If you have, take precautions not
to let your correspondence lag.
Write often—at least once or twice
a month. This should be often
enough to keep him “on the
string.”
Be sure and tell your soldier all
the news. Tell him everything
(well, almost everything) that you
have been doing. Make him jeal
ous by telling him about all the
cute lieutenants and captains you
have been going around with. Let
him know you don’t have to sit at
home waiting for a buck private.
Casually tell him that you were the
“Bell of the Ball,” or to phrase
it better ‘"The Belle of the Wall,”
at the U. S. O. dance last Satur
day night.
Dwell on the subject of all the
good food you have been having
lately such as steaks, candy, and
cokes. This will really make him
homesick for you know that he is
out on bivouac and is eating “K”
rations.
Complain continuously about all
the studying you are having to do
TAGOWIZUM
and about all your troubles in gen
eral. This is an excellent way of
getting sympathy from your sol
dier.
Tell him how sorry you feel for
him and that you just know how
awful he must look. Relate the
dream you had about him the
other night in which he was shot
not once, but twice in the big toe.
When he reads this he will cer
tainly take extra precautions, there
fore, his life will be in much lesS
danger.
As long as you are writing, you
might as well kill two birds with
one stone. Why not strike up a
correspondence with the censor?
You have no idea how jealous your
boy friend will become.
Try to give your boy-friend as
much information as you can about
his family. Don’t keep back any
thing. He is bound to find out
about it sooner or later so don’t
even spare him the worse. Tell
him about the terrible wreck that
little Janie Bell had in the family
car last week and about Johnny
getting kicked out of school for a
month. Oh, yes, and his Mother
hasn’t had a cook for ages and
ages and her hair is turning grayer
by the minute and don’t leave
out the news about his father. He
will just die laughing when he
hears that “Father” has the
mumps. It is the little things like
these that keep up a soldier’s
morale. Remember it is up to
YOU so “If you don’t write, it
just ain’t right.”
