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. .

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).

make the new 1938 General Electric refrigerator
the finest, thriftiest refrigerator ever built
? ' .
(1) BIGGER VALUE
Today's General Electric refrig
erators have twice the cooling ca
pacity, four times faster freezing
than the famous General Electric
refrigerator made ten years ago;
yet, the price today is $100.00
lower.
(2) LESS CURRENT
General Electric refrigerators not
only provide greater cooling ca
pacity and faster freezing, but also
actually cost far less to operate.
In fact, today's General Electric
operates for about one-third the
cost of its 1927 predecessor.
(3) LONGER LIFE
The Ion? life of General Electric
refrigerators has never been ques
tioned. There are over a million
General Electrics in use today that
have been providing uninterrupted
service for periods of 5 years or
longer.
