( Gisiuad a Mr. “Wiiasiak?
Just to see what might happen let
us imagine the Republican Party win-
ning an overwhelming victory in the
elections.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
would not be abolished because of the
great protection it affords against
runs on banks. The C. C. C. and the
A. A. A. would remain, although
Kansas and Idaho are divided in opin-
ion concerning the A. A. A. “The
Republicans won’t lessen the amount
of Farm Relief by one dollar, but
will probably change its form.” They
question a form of farm relief which
can find no better means of meeting
the problem of over-production than
by ploughing under the wasted crops.
They would probably increase the
amount of conservation relief rather
than change it. The policy is to pay
the farmers to change from soil erod-
ing crops to soil conserving crops.
Both the P. W. A. and the W. P. A..
will ‘have to go, as the Republican
Party regards them as “superfluous”
expenditures. With them old age in-
surance would disappear, although
unemployment insurance would prob-
ably be retained.
The National Labor Relations Board
would go, ‘since it is-.considered by
most Republicans to be unfair to the
employer. Immediate injunctions
against. sit-down strikes would be
put into effect. The government, in
its turn, would be restrained from
competing with the utilities, as it now
does under the T.. V. A.

On Democratic Party

tion of the use of Federal funds seem
to forget this. Through Federal aid,
Miss Ely pointed out, Philadelphia has
at last gotten under way a 65-million
- dollar program to rebuild and increase
the public institutions which the Re-
publicans had allowed to become
“criminally outmoded and inadequate.”
Pennsylvania was the forty-fifth state
of the union to take over county and
municipal institutions caring for the
mentally ill, and this long overdue
legislation was finally. accomplished by
the Democratic législature.
‘Not only has this piece of legisla-
tion meant an increase in efficiency
and a cleaning up of graft, but it has
also greatly decreased the cost of gov-
ernment in the counties and municip-
alities. In this way local taxes will
be reduced and greater efficiency as-
sured. For Philadelphia, another ad-
vance in efficiency of government and
prevention of graft. is the legislation
providing for a city charter to be voted
on in the 1939 Legislature. Recently
New York has finally acquired a com-
parable charter.
A really startling achievement of
the Democrats is the measure which
places the Public Assistance Depart-
ment under the civil service with the
merit system. This department, with
approximately 5000 employees, might
have provided a rich source for pat-
ronage, and Democratic legislation
shows an enormous advance over that
of former administrations. No_ one,
Miss Ely said, who has not tried tg
secure for Philadelphia a better gof-
ernment can have any idea of the cour-
age, sincerity and hard work these
measures have demanded from the
Governor and his associates. —
The labor laws, and through them
the workers’ conditions, have also been
improved. Indeed in no State of the
Union have as many favorable and lib-
eral measures been passed by a leg-
islature in as short.a timé as: has been
done by the present Pennsylvania ad-
ministration. And the budget has
been balanced despite all these addi-

Club Defeats Varsity
Miss Elliott, All-American Goal,
Gives Pointers to Bryn
Mawr Team
On Saturday, November 5, the
Philadelphia Cricket Club hockey team
defeated the Bryn Mawr Varsity, 5-0.
In spite of the decisive score the Bryn
Mawr team played one of the best
games of its season. Not only has the
greater part of the Philadelphia team
played together for several years, but
it also includes top ranking players
of the United States. Two of its
members were on the U. S. team tour-
ing Australia in 1937, two more were
chosen for the Southeast team last
year, and Miss Strebeigh and Miss El-
liott have been All-Americans for a
number of years, Miss Elliott playing
goal.
Fifteen fouls were called on Bryn
Mawr in the first. half in contrast to
Philadelphia’s five. The Cricket Club
team took excellent advantage of the
free shots>thus gained and kept the
ball in the Bryn Mawr half.:of the
field most of the time, scoring four
points. In the second half Bryn
Mayr reduced her number of penal-
ties greatly, there was'a far evener
distribution of the ball on the field,
and Philadelphia scored once.
The Bryn Mawr team played well
together. Both the side halves, Mar-
shall and Waples, backed up the for-

ward attack forcefully. The fullbacks
handled the ball well, but were not
as clever in marking their opponents
as. the Philadelphia backs.
The Bryn Mawr wings, both fast,
were bothered by a new experience—
their inability to outrun the Philadel-
phia. halves.
Miss Elliott commented on the fine
flat passes by the Bryn Mawr for-
wards but felt these plays could be
more mixed. She said that the hard-
est play for a goalkeeper to break up
was an attack of the goal by a for-
ward ‘keeping ball very close to
her stick. The game gave her occa-
sion to demonstrate how a goalkeeper
can time her interference to catch a
ball dribovled too hard.
Although there was little doubt as
to the outcome, it was a fine game,
with much good hockey.
The teams were:
