M. SPENCER PAYING OUR DEBTS Has it ever occurred to you the faith all of us have in Humani ty? The man who does not pay his debts is so debts I have in mind cannot be paid with money or its equivilent. They must b_- paid with deeds of kindness, thoughtfulness, smlies and words > of cheer. Let me illustrate: a man' was driving his car without a! thought of trouble when it sud-j denly stopped. He was miles from] help; within a few minutes an other automobile came into view, stopping beside my friend. The driver asked, “May I help you?” He pushed my friends car sever al miles and when asked his! charges he smilingly said, “Noth ing at all. It is my way of pay ing a little debt I contracted when I had to be pushed. All of us have had to be push ed ime way or another and have been the recipients of acts of kindness. We should seek ways and means of repaying these debts. We cannot be at peace with ourselves if we take without giv ing. o SH nwwaaftw.c . —«i declined all predictions and tips on the figures. It was learned, however, that the revised total of the April' 1 population of the 48 states and the District, of Columbia was slightly higl er than the 131409.- 881 preliminary estimate issued by the bureau about two months ago. On Capitol Hill, the apportion ment figures were aiwaited for their possible effect on the basis of individual Congressmen. Reapportionment on the basis of the present 435-seat size of the House and the mathemaitca! formular used in 1930—the pro cedure so far favored by Con gress—may switch a number of seats. On the basis of the preliminary figures, which are not expected to change much, California ap peared to have won two more seats than the 20 she now holds. Other indicated gains were: Ari zona, from 1 seat to 2 seats; Flor ida, from 5 to 6; New Mexico, from 1 to 2; North Carolina, from 11 to 12; Oregon, from 3 to 4; and Tennessee, from 9 to 10. The indicated losers of seats were: Illinois, from 27 to 26; In diana, from 12 to 11; Kansas, from 7 to 6; Massachusetts, from 15 to 14; Nebraska, from 5 to 4; Ohio, from 24 to 23; Oklahoma, from 9 to 8; and Pennsylvania, from 34 to 33. One of the possibilities suggest ed by the preliminary figures was that California might get three, instead of two, extra seats in which case lowa might nave to surrender one of its 9 places- j Appointment is done by a com-' plicated mathematical formula prescribed by Congress. Under a law passed last Spring, this is the situation: The first week in January, the President will relay to Congress the census report he will receive' tomorrow. Congress may take 60 days to decide whether it wants j to change the apportionment method or the number of seats J or whether to have any reappor- j tionment at all (after the 1920 census Congress decided not to FRESH Oranges £‘“ D “IOc Grape Fruit 3 for lOc Apples peck 25c Brazil Nuts pound 15c Walnuts lb. 25c Pecans Lar 9 e lb. 22c Candy M ’ xed lb. 20c Chocolate Candy I™' SI.OO Coconuts 2 foivlsc Raisins maid pkg. lOc DATES 2 lb.
