Another term in the White House has been assured for Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who together with his running mate, Harry S. Truman, right,
received a total of 432 electoral votes, 17 less than the Democrats se
cured In 1940. Truman, senator from Missouri, gained nationwide fame
as head of the committee investigating war expenditures. Dewey and his
Tunning mate secured a total of 99 electoral votes, unless late soldier
votes change the picture, which is not considered likely by most political
observers.

Indian summertime back home

The maples and the chestnut trees
All red and gold ana Drowm . . .
Gee, what a peek at that would
mean!
To take a cood. deep breath
Of smoke and flame at sunset time
And get no thought of death!
The leaf piles burning in the street,
Bov. what a grand oia smeu,
Ajid how it used to linger at
The evenins shadows fell!
Things burning in the autumn time
vh. hurnlne everywhere
But not from tank or torch or gun;
And just peace in the airi . . .
The trees aglow all rich and whole
Their toDS a flaming red
Not blasted into twisted shapes
Not blackened, limp and dead!. . .
The corn stacked up like sentinels
Acrnss the countryside
Where no one's killed another man
And not a kid has diedl
The leaves in mounds on my home
street
A-cracklin'. and the rush
Of all the neighbors to put out
The fires in the brush. . . .
The smell of chestnuts roasting and
The scent of newmown hay. . . .
You take the global battle grounds
I'll take that scene today!
My white and yaller rabbit hound
The rabbits just beyond. . . .
The squirrels on the garden wall
And wild ducks in the pond. . . .
The sumac in one ruddy blaze
In every path and glen. . . .
I'd like a look at it before
They send me in again! ,
The try-outs for the football team
The school lot and the cries
Where all the fighting is in fun
And not a school chum dies! . . .
Indian summertime back home
For one brief peek today
I'd make them Krauts pay extra for
The time I ve been away I

honor of Loutakhi, Greece, children lined up to greet the Tommies when the British troops crossed the Cor

HOUSING SHORTAGE
(Scene: Any real estate office.)
I am looking for a place to live.
Who isn't?
.
Have you anything on your list?
About how many rooms?
Five rooms will do.
We have nothing in five rooms.
Well, I might use seven or eight.
Sorry. Nothing in seven or eight.
In a pinch I could do with two or
three.
We haven't had any small apart
ments in months
Then why the differentiation?
It's Just office routine!
Can't you help me out some way?
I've got to have a roof over my
head this winter.
We have a couple of places, but
that's the trouble: the roofs are off.
Would you mind living in a barn?
Not if the horses and cows are
willing to vacate.
One horse is pretty stubborn about
it, but we can get all the others out.
What, the rental?
$100 a month.
Isn't that high for a barn?
Not when you consider the owner
is leaving in a set of horse blankets.
Have you anything in a trailer?
Don't be sillv: all the trailers are
occupied by the capitalistic classes.
What's the situation m nouses xor
sale?
We have quite a few houses but
you'll have to act fast.
Why?
Because vou can set a house to
day for only three times what it'.
worth. Walt a week and you may
have to pay four times the value.
What have yon to offer?
I've got a nice little five-room bun
galow out in an exclusive swamp.
It ha. a portable bath, defective
plumbing and all modern defects.
You can have it for $10,000 cash.
Isn't that high?
High! Why, It cost eight hundred
dollars to buUd it!
t
.How old i. it?
Only six years. It's one of those
Federal Housing Loan bungalows.
Oh, the kind with no nails and
with overcoat buttons for door
knobs! This one has extra value. One of
the doors Isn't warped and part of
the cellar Is dry. You can have it
for $12,500.

Dear Hi The French kids' early
cry of "Vive les Americains!" has
now been supplanted by "Cigaret
pour Papa?"
It isn't quite true that the British
drive on the left, the French on the
right. Both our Allies drive in the
middle just like everyone in the
United States does.
.
The French gals have learned that
there's at least one wolf in every
foxhole.
