The Thomasville Times Enterprise column reports on political banter surrounding Hoover Smith and Roosevelt, plus local items about civic life. It notes readers’ letters, comments on Prohibition, and a note about the Vashti School’s twenty-fifth anniversary as a local institution.
The Thomasville editor rejects both major party candidates. The paper declares it will vote for Walter George, criticizes Republican machine influence, and cautions readers against baseless rumors about affiliation. It defends editorial independence and urges intelligent, honest judgment.
A Florida perspective notes the widespread damage near Palm Beach with hundreds dead and a hopeful spirit for rehabilitation. It urges national support beyond state relief, citing a Red Cross estimate that twelve million dollars may be needed beyond the initial five million for Florida and Puerto Rico.
Underwriters favor oil burning furnaces as spark free and safer for roofs, while noting many regions still rely on fireplaces and stoves. The cost of shingle roofs raises fire risk and insurance rates, and ashes handling remains a fire hazard amid coal use.
