In memory of HER passing, May 5, 1935. FROM $525,000 TO $63,000 A seat on the New York Stock Ex change recently sold for $68,000, an advance of $11,000 over the previous ly quoted price. Financiers consider it a "vaguely hopeful sign." At least, it demonstrates that there are per sons who believe that money will be made in the stock market again. Compared to 1924, when the price of seats were from $76,000 to $101, 000, the 1988 quotation is not so bad. However, if one looks to 1929, it is possible to understand the late con sternation among the brokers. In that boom year seats on the stock exchange sold for from $525,000 to $625,000. Later, in 1982, when most brokers had headaches, a seat sold as low as $68,000. One wonders if the legitimate ac tivities of a stock broker warrents such a fluctuation in the prices of seats on the New York Stock Ex change. It is easy to believe that only the lure of speculative profits and "easy pickings" explains the fabulous prices paid in the big boom. The Seven Dwarfs? Their Characters In "Snow White" The seven sterling dwarfs in Walt Disney's first feature-length produc tion, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," showing at the Paramount Theatre Sunday, Monday, and Tues day, May 1, 2, 3, will not be strange personalities to anyone viewing them. Each represents a type of human be ing in this fascinating production in Technicolor which RKO Radio dis tributes to the world's picture houses. Doc, the self^ appointed leader, is self-important and pompous. He has a habit of getting his words and ideas mixed and of searching for the right word in vain. He's overly gracious and very efficient in his own mind until an important decision is necessary, when he becomes so ner vous that he cant make any decis ion at all. Happy is a fat roly-poly little fel low with a perpetual smile ami a bright cheery voice. Sleepy sees lift through half-closed eyes, and talks always through ai yawn. He talks little, but when he doss say something it is straight to the point, even though he doesnt know it Grumpy, the real lender of the group, is "agin" everything. His chief hete is "wimmin." He is grou chy, a crab, and yet, much to his disgust, he has a very soft heart un der the veneer. When trouble arises, it is Grumpy who sets first Dopey is a lovable slightly-balmy fellow who gets a great kfck out of life. He is sly and mbchlrvous. Sneesy is subject to hay fever and talks through his none. He always mini st the wrong than Bashful is kind-hearted sad willing, and an incurable romantic. He Is especially shy, however, in the pree ones of Snow White. . _| ^ CKMft LAXATiVi ^ ?? MJSWB08N mill I U8fitslfejl*?jeFf* -1M>h '?"-?^-.r'^yitj^B Congressman Han cock's Ten Promises To the People of North Caroline: first, I shall not make my maiden speech in the United- States Senate in support of bar rooms for the Dis trict of Columbia, nor will my last speech be in advocacy of the estab lishment of a race track. I will de vote my time and energies to the real and definitely serious questions confronting our Nation. Second, I will not have as my sec retary of Virginia or of any other State except North Carolina. I am not only confident I can, but I am determined to, employ from my na tive State such people as 1 need and am allowed. When North Carolina fails to have among its citizenship the brains I require it will then be time for me to come home and retire from public life. ^ Third, I shall not sell the name and dignity of your Senatorship to any- : body or any concern, be it a slick "alien" trading with the War De partment or a brand ' of cigarette which I may or may not smoke. As long as I am your representative the 1 title to that office shall be and re main vested in the people of North : Carolina. I shall be your Senator, ! responsible to you and beyond the touch of any interest, save the in terest of the people of our great State. Fourth, I shall not follow the sen sationalism of William Bandolph Hearst, arch enemy, of President Roosevelt, or any other foe of pro gressive government I will get my publicity on the basis of constructive - accomplishments or do without pub ! licity. - Fifth, I shall not, through concern over the free access of liquor, offer any silly bills providing that it may be given to dumb animals; but instead will give my thought to the serious problems of State and Nation and ex pect our intelligent people, by refer endum, to determine the sort of liquor laws they may want Sixth, I "ha.11 not for months at a time leave the affairs of North Caro lina to the discretion of a resident of Virginia or anybody else, but shall serve the people who elect me. My office shall be open, not closed, to those who have business with me dur ing office hours. Seventh, I shall not belittle the dig nity of your Senator by bouncing about the country advertising myself and a 96-year old man who has be come the father of a baby. His ac complishments is sufficient reward unto itself and I do not consider it the function of a Senator to add to his advertisement. Eighth, I shall not promise the vet erans or any other group to have one of their members in my office and then repudiate that promise, but, be ing myself a member of the Ameri can Legion, I shall help them with their affairs sympathetically and per sonally. Ninth, I shall not be the most costly Senator North Carolina ever had, and I shall have no interest in investigat ing the Virgin Islands. There are many islands off the coast of my State, and I feel the impulse of con sistency when I say that I should like to investigate them, but those inves tigations will not cost the taxpayers any money. Tenth, I shall not be a resident of the world for five years and a resi dent of North Carolina for one, but shall be available to the people of my State just as much in years when I am not a candidate as in the years when I am. And when I make speech es to the people of North Carolina or any other State I shall make them under my own auspices or that of the Democratic party. I shall not use your office to propaganda tin am bitions of any league or gropp of self seeking individuals. (The above were taken from his opening speech made in Raleigh over WPTF in the interest of his Candi dacy for the United State Senate). (Political Adv.)
