country into depression. Meek and most of the other eight Republicans he beat out in the GOP senatorial primary Tuesday took up the cry. Meek has called Douglas "this charming exponent of political expediency . . . . a gigantic paradox, a veritable giant of the art of double talk." And, if he wishes, he can borrow from some of those he licked charges that Douglas is a "Fear Dealer," an "apostle of gloom" and socialistically inclined. Borrows GOP Lines But Douglas, too, can borrow from one or two of those defeated Republicans. He could quote Julius Klein, for example. Klein is a Chicago public relations consultant who poured out a stream of pre-primary statements that went like this: "Douglas has only one hope and prayer--that is Joe Meek will win Tuesday. " 'Joe Meek, where were you when Klein and I were fighting in the Pacific theater of war?' Douglas would be asking Meek. I don't know what Meek will answer -- because he was a traveling salesman at the time Douglas and I were helping our country. "I don't know why Meek is a candidate now for the Republican nomination--he never was a Republican. "But I do know he is antilabor. I know he is anti-Negro. I know Joe Meek is the candidate of special interests, the big merchants. . . . Meek's nomination would mean disaster for the Republican county ticket as well as its state ticket." Meek Is Confident Party members who gave Meek a decisive victory in the primary didn't see such disaster ahead. And their candidate says for himself: "I can defeat any Democratic opponent that runs on the record of the New Deal, Fair Deal or any other socialistic deal." Words like that give point to the presence of his office desk of a book Douglas wrote in 1932, "The Coming of a New Party." Te 22-year-old volume is dedicated to Norman Thomas, leader of the Socialist party. At the time Douglas called Thomas the "best representative of the new spirit in American political life." Illinois voters may hear more about that. Meek's chief concern, he says, is "worry over a planned economy" that would submerge individual freedoms under "a vast bureaucracy." As far apart as Meek and Douglas are on most issues, they do talk something alike on others. Each wants to cut taxes in ways the administration opposes. Douglas is for boosting personal income tax exemptions from $600 to $800. Meek says "taxes must come down" before spending, thus "forcing us to live within oue income."

Housewives for miles around would bring in firkins of butter, weighing 25 to 50 pounds. By spring three or four tons of butter were ready for shipment to New York City. On the south end of the store, a wood pile was a common sight. Farmers hauled cords of wood in trade for groceries or any other merchandise desired. The wood sold for a dollar a cord.

One permits the Genesee Camp Ground Association to acquire land for holding religious and educational meetings under jurisdiction of the conference. The other provides for the election at the conference this year, of nine trustees of the Silver Lake Institute. It permits three trustees to be elected for terms to expire in 1955, three for terms to expire in 1956, and three for terms expiring in 1957. The legislation also provides that trustees to be elected in 1955 and thereafter will hold office for three-year terms. Senator Harry K. Morton of Hornell introduced the legislation. [[line]] Hornell Aviatrix to Appear in Forthcoming State Film HORNELL--Mrs. Blanche Stuart Scott of Hornell, one of the first students of Glenn H. Curtiss, and the first woman to pilot a plane, has been asked to take part in a film, "Look To The Sky", being made by the Bureau of Aviation of the New York State Department of Commerce. The script of the film starts with the first days of aviation around Hammondsport when the late Mr. Curtiss centered his activities and operated his factory and flying school in that town. According to a letter received by Mrs. Scott from Walter Willets, senior business consultant of the Bureau of Aviation, filming parts of the proposed picture will be made in and around Hammondsport in the near future. The making of this aviation film follows the celebration of the 50th anniversary of powered flight which closed last December. During the 50th Anniversary year Mrs. Scott was active in the various functions held in connection with the celebration. She received citations and was one of 10 American fliers to receive mention as having contributed the most to the development of aviation. [[Image]] MRS.

[[line]] [[top line cut off]] Reich Travel BERLIN, April 17 AP--The Russians rejected again tonight Western proposals to ease travel and lower other barriers between Soviet-occupied East Germany and Allied West Germany. The Russian instead renewed demands for "All-German Committees" to negotiate the restrictions--a move aimed at forcing the West to recognize the puppet East German regime. Soviet High Commissioner Vladimir S. Semyenov made clear the Russian intent in similar letters to the American, British and French high commissioners. He called their attention to the March 26 Soviet proclamation of "sovereignty" for the East German government and said it gave the Soviet zone regime rights to handle their internal and foreign affairs, including relations with Western Germany. Semyenov's note, made public by the official East German news agency ADN, replied to letters of March 17 from the Western high commissioners. At that time, the Allied commissioners accused the Russians of stalling in removing obstacles to free travel throughout Germany and of evading their responsibility as an occupation power.
