Behind the realistic discussions of these administration-supported measures loomed more romantic aspects of policy favored by Roosevelt advisors, possibly being put out as feelers before trying the ideas out more fully. Subjects under discussion included ways of compelling old age insurance; of getting the unemployed from reg jons of industrial rut back to the land, to grow their ‘vegetables, reviviy the forests, work with their hands; how to help small home building and moderniza~ tion. But that was all in the future, how distant only time can tell.

With the thermometer reaching a new low for this season yester day with a recorded temperature of 23 degrees, the mercury slipped over night down as low as 9 de grees at the waterworks, with a maximum of 12 degrees recorded in the downtown section, and a minimum of 7%. With steaming radiators, cars puffed along all the streets of the city, and neighbors trying to find a more fortunate family whose pipes had not frozen scurried here and thére.

The house judiciary committee Tuesday, morning arranged to hear officials of the Justice de partment, the Tederal alcohol con trol administration and the Inter nal Revenue nureau at a secret mediate legislative action.

People going along_ Oconee street this morning were amazed to discover a thin white covering of ice over the creek which runs into the Oconee river by the bridge. Portions of the ice were thick and of a real white color; other parts were transparent and thin, but a demarcating line of white ice marked the point of junction betweepn the river and the creek.

Scion of a family, that, for generations, has been closely allied with the so-called “privileged’ classes, his sympathies, as manifested in public life as well as in his private capacity, have been inclined chiefly in the opposite direction—in behalf of the under-privi leged element of- society. With him, a new deal for the “forgotten man’” has been a passion; where former administrations have been concerned mainly with extracting taxes, and in lending aid to big busi ness in order that it might become even bigger, Mr. Roosevelt has made it a function of government to as sume responsibility for the welfare of its subjects and especially those, who, through no fault of their own, are unable to provide a subsistence for them selves and their dependents. Just how effectively the machinery of government has been attuned to the banishment of the spectre of poverty, that has stalked boldly through the length and breadth of the land during the late depression, needs no elaboration here. The sympathetic perspi cacity ‘which he exhibited in his approach to the problem, followed by the institution of remedial meas ures that have dealt a staggering blow to the eco nomic ills cf the country, is now history. In view of all of which—-indeed, mueh more that might be mentioned—it was but natural that a grate ful and admiring constituency should resolve to ob serve his birthday in a fashion that, it is believed, will be more pleasing to him than any other manner that could have been adopted, and thus offer con crete evidence of a nation’s appreciation of his humanitarian impulses. The event will be signalized by no blare of trumpets, nor will the celebration be invested with any sug gestion of pompous d isplay; but from one end of the country to the other, subscription dances will be given to raise funds for enlarging the scope of the great philanthropic work that has been established at Warm Springs—an endeavor that, perhaps, lies closer to the President’s heart than any other nen governmental undertaking. His iordinate compassion for helpless victims of infantile paralysis is born of a sympathetic under standing of their affliction, since it has been his mis fortune to be a sufferer of the dread malady, and ynothing appeals more to his generous nature than an enterprise that is designed te expand the facilities for administering to fellow sufferers the treatments that proved so helpful to him. The Roosevelt birthday balls contemplate raising of $2,000,000, all of which will be expended at the Warm Springs Foundation. That Georgia should rally generously to such a cause calls for no argument. That Athens shall sup port the undertaking with the traditional vigor and loyalty, that she always accorded philanhiopic ef fort, should require no urging. But, lest there be those super-timorous souls who may hesitate because, perhaps, they are not masters of the terpsichorean art, The Banner-Herald makes this eleventh hour appeal that they nevertheless buy a ticket to the Roosevelt ball at Woodruff Hall to night, if for no other reason than to aid Athens in her ambiticn to have the largest single ball in the country, as a token of the esteem in which this city holds our great President. It is of course desired that you attend and participate in the festivities, but if providentially hindered, you may at least invest two dollars in a ticket with the consciousness of having contributed that much toward the recovery of some helpless cripple, and at the same time give fitting ex pression of your admiration for the President on his anniversary. We congratulate President Roosevelt on attaining his fifty-second birthday; as the world’s most notable exponent of the cause of social justice, we felicitate him, and, on this, his natal day, earnestly wish him many happy returns.
