When our ex-President Hoover was running lor the big office In Washington, we were promised a chicken in every pot. and a car in every garage. This I know! They must have run out on both the chickens and cars before they arrived at my home.We were lucky to have beans and potatoes on our Sunday dinner menu. My husband getting four days’ work per week and helping next door neighbors plus feeding the men, women and children that came to my door, and. I had hardly enough to feed my own family. We managed to survive, by the menfolk wearing cushioned seats in their pants, put there by patches on top of each other.To think the public has a chance when election day comes to protect themselves from such living conditions and won't do it. 1 can’t understand it. Give me the good ‘'Democrat'1 way of living. Forbid the Hoover days ever returning . . .City. —Mrs. Jack Dolin, Sr.Editor Gazette:i want to congratulate The Gazette and Special Writer Virginia Hall on the excellent article in last Sunday’s edition of your paper. I refer to the story on the variety show heing sponsored by the Clara Jarrett Dept, of the St. Albans Woman’s Club which gave readers a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes.This was an excellent prevue and reflects your interest in surrounding towns. You, the staff of The Charleston Gazette, have shewn repeatedly that you have an interest in what goes on outside of the Charleston city limits and your readers appreciate it.Virginia Halt selected the exact humorous approach to her story and I am sure her article willGive us more stories in the same slant. I have heard many comments on Sunday’s write-up.St. Albans. —Satisfied Header.Editor Gazette:The person who wrote in the Reader's Forum concerning the monster of Braxton County seemed to be implying that the people who saw this thing were imagining it, to get in the spotlight of publicity. Well, I don’t think they were imagining. I think they actually saw it.The mother who saw the monster had her children with her at the lime it was seen, and I don't think any mother would teach her children to lie.This person also said the city slickers of New York thought we were a stupid lot of superstitious hillbillies. There are some intelligent and happy people in West Virginia.Foster. —Virginia Whitten.Editor Gazette:That pitiful, emotional speech made by Sen. Nixon should earn him the title of “The Johnni Ray of the Politicians.'’City —Alice L. WingfieldIntercepted MessageOct. 1952Dear John:Our Chamber of Commerce isn’t too interested in your income—just so you spend some of it during your visit here.Yours,Sen. J. J. Sparkman,Veep Candidate,City.
