Up-Holds New
Deal
Washington. May 4. ? No elec
tion since the re-election of Pres
ident Roosevelt in 1936 has caus
ed a fraction of interest that was
displayed in Washington over thei
Florida primary yesterday in
which Senator Claude E. Pepper.
100 per centi New Dealer, received
an overwhelming majority over
four opponents. ? C
The interest was due primarily
to the fact that the primary was
regarded generally as furnishing
the clearest test of New Deal ver
sus anti-New Deal sentiment' to he
found in any single primary con
test of the year.
The result has been to stimu
late New Dealers and to depress
anti-administration Democrats es
pecially those up for re-election
t'his year.
Senator Robert R. Reynolds
was jubilant.
"I am not at all surprised." said
Senator Reynolds. "Senator Pep
per had supported the administra
tion all the way through and I
felt that the people of Florida
were just as grateful for what the
New Deal had done for them as
the people of North Carolina and
other states. Representative Wil
cox, Senator Pepper's principal
opponents voted against such ad
ministration measures as the wage
and hour bill and the reorganiza
tion bill, while, of course. Senator
Pepper favored both of those bills
as well as other administration
measures."

LOUISBU&ti BAPTIST
CHURCH
The service of worship last Sun
day morning was based upon the
theme of the Christian home,
which is t'he major emphasis for
this month. The pastor spoke on
! the subject, "Family Religion." |
He alleged that many ntarried
couples never realize the itnpor
. tance of religion in the hoiuftjiu
til they have children of tnteiir
own; that a christian home is the
best place in which one may catch
religion. Moreover, he attributed j
youthful delinquency and broken
homes to the lack of family re-;
j ligion.
At the evening service of wor
j ship the theme was "Successful
: Christian Living." Success in any
1 realm is based upon a proper
; technique. One cannot build a
I bridge or play a piano without
; technique. Neither can one live a
! successful Christian life without
a proper technique or method.
Such a method would include
daily prayer, the daily reading of
J the Bible and service.
The Sunday School was well at-'
| tended. The Training Union ;
brought together 62 individuals
for the closing assembly. Both
the teaching and training pro
grains of the church have been en
larged under the leadership of
Miss Elizabeth Lassiter. Director j
of Religious Education
The program for this Sunday
includes Sunday School at 9:45 a.
m.; B T. U. at 6:45 p. mV and
Worship Service at< 7:45 p. m.
There will be no morning service;
of worship on account of the Bac
calaureate sermon at the Mills1
High School. The evening service
will be devoted to an observance
of Mother's Day. The members
of the church and congregation
are expected to attend this ser
vice in order thati they may pay a
tribute to their mothers.

MOTHER
EVERY individual citizen should make a spec
ial effort to show his or her appreciation of
Mother on Sunday ? Mother's Day. She is the
one individual in this world who will go farther
and do more to protect, defend and assist you in
adversity as well as good fortune than any one
else. It is exceedingly unfortunate that most of
us forget the debt we owe Mother. We forget
the proper respect for her too often and have
passed unnoticed the little deeds we could do for
her happiness and pleasure. Let's turn a new
leaf, add to the many kind thoughts and acts and
this year really make Mother happy that you and
I are hers, and that we still remember her. The
deeds may not be elaborate or expensive; often
it is the smaller things that bring the most pleas
ure. The thing that counts most is the sincere
love and thought for Mother.
