mankind's ills, but to assist in the development of
handicrafts as a vital force in the various phases
of the life of today. Many interesting courses have
been given to meet special conditions. A group of
nuns, whose work is with small, blind children,
spent eight intensive days in the school taking in-
struction in forms of handwork suitable for their
little charges. A group of occupatonal therapists
took a ten weeks' course in projects that cost five
cents or less. Three missionaries from distant
parts of the world have learned techniques that
could be used with materials found in the countries
in which they serve. The headmaster of a boys'
school took a special course to keep his boys busy
on rainy days. A business man from Florida
worked out his dream of utilizing plant forms
when making tiles. Infantile paralysis cases have
provided interesting challenges in forcing the use
of both hands. One of these students comments
that it is a lot more fun making a big basket than
it is to do calisthenics. It may be seen, therefore,
that the school aims to give the student the pe-

culiar training he requires rather than to force him

To date, more than 1500 people have taken in-

Supply and Advisory Service, Universal is also
serving thousands of individuals, schools and
organizations.
A list of courses will be sent to anyone on request.

THE UNIVERSAL PLAN UNFOLDS
The phenomenal growth of the Universal School
of Handicrafts in Rockefeller Center testifies to
the rising tide of recognition accorded handicraft
activity for its cultural and therapeutic values.
Private and public schools all over the country,
including many of our leading universities, have
adopted forms of handwork as part of their regu-
lar curriculum. Hospitals and other institutions
have demonstrated beyond doubt the value of
handicrafts for bringing mentally and physically
sick people back to health. Creative centers and
groups are springing up like mushrooms in rural
community and city alike. People find a new joy
as they learn to make things of beauty with their
hands in their chosen medium.
The Universal School of Handicrafts came into
being three years ago, not as a panacea for all of

Dear President:
My name is Clifford Lester and I am taking this opportunity
to write to you and to let you know that I am doing everything in my
power in this part of the country to continue you in office. I am a former
president of the Teamsters Union of this city and I have a wide acquaintance
with the laboring men of this community and of this county. Realising a I
can from my connection with the teamster's union all that you have done for
the working people I am constantly engaged in tring to get you the labor
vote in this community one hundred per cent. I am enclosing a picture of my
truc with your picture on it. I drive this truck aroung Oakland and Alameda
County every day and if you dont get all the labor vote here it wont be
because I have not tried to line it up for you. At the present time I am
not connected with the Teamster's Union because my ideas conflict with the
"higher-ups" in that organization but I have always been a union labor man
and I know that labor never had a better friend in the White House than
your excellency. In conclusion may I say that I am putting this truck out
at my own expense so that I can in my own way do something to repay you for
all you have done for the working class of this country.

I am one of several Honey Producers of the Apalachicola
River Valley, in Gulf County, Florida the Home of the Farmous Tupeloo
Honey. It will not granulate or ferment, and is the best Honey Produced
in the U.S.A. It is the only Honey that can be eaten by those suffer-
ing with diabetes.
I have depended practically all together for the past 35
years, for my livelihood on producing this Tupelo Honey.
We had a good market and a good price, for all we could
produce, until the Hoover depression came in 1931, since then markets
have been dull, with very slow demands. We are hoping that you will
make our Famous Tupelo Honey, a regular diet for our Army and Navy.
I am sending you prepaid one 5 gallon Tin of this Famous
Tupelo Honey, for you and your Friends to try the Quality of it, and
if you like you may have the contents analyzed. It is high in fruit
sugar and low in can sugar.
We honey producers greatly appreciate the Wonderful President
you have made, and are working for you 100% We feel confident of
your Re-election.
Trusting that this will receive your personal consideration,
I beg to remain.

My Dear President:
It is with the deepest of pleasure that I am today sending you under
separate cover to your home at Hyde Park, New York, a hand hooked
rug in red, white and blue, in the center of which is the words
"FIRESIDE CHATS". The occasion for this is the fact that we as
Democrats, myself, husband, Mother and Son, thought that in part it
might convey to you the sincere feelings of one of many families
in the United States, as to how they felt about your past record and
your third term, of which weare very proud and happy.
A little history concerning the rug: The burlamp is a Sea Island
Sugar sack, the woolen material is the clothing of many of our
Sparks and Reno Nevada school children as well as University Boys.
It consists of six sweaters and five little woolen ski ts. Each
article was washed, sterlized and deodorized, and stripped by my
Mother. I designed the pattern and hooked it myself in ten days.
Every stitch was a pleasure, and for every stitch that is in it, may
you live just that long in days, and longer to continue to guide our
beloved America to brighter, happier and more prosperous days, that
the little children, whose cloths went to make this, and all of the
other children of America, may enjoy a full life in this great
country of ours.
We sincerel hope that you will enjoy this rug as much as we who are
sending it to you, emjoy doing so.
I started this rug the night I was positive of your victory, and that
was at 10;45 Western Day light time, or Pacific Daylight time.
Will you when again talking to Mr. Jesse H. Jones, ive my kindest
regards to him, and tell that as a little girl I played on his yard
where his home stood out on Main Street, in Houston, Texas, and that
we listen to his talks often, and that it takes us back home each
time in memories and thoughts.
Again wishing you and your wife a long and happy life together, may
you serve us many moons, and if necessary and you can stand it, may
you run again, and if you do, I'll be at the poles again to vote for
you.

Sundry military and naval units have discov-

Our delicacies are delighting the denizens of
Norfolk Navy Yard, Fort Bragg, Fort Benning and
other concentration points. If an army still moves
on its stomach, then we are playing a not insignif-
icant part in the nation's defense.
It occurs to us that you, as commander-in-chief of our
uniformed forces, should have the opportunity of apprecia-
ting what your militiamen are munching. Therefore we take
the liberty of sending you a sample box of Lance peanut
butter sandwiches, salted peanuts and candies. They are
for your pleasure.
At this time of year particularly our thoughts turn to
the good things of life coincident with our friendships.
Certainly you have been America's friend-cementing
her ties of brotherhood, stimulating her business
progress and commanding for her the world's respect.
To your fearless and pioneering leadership we attrib-
ute in a large measure the phenomenal growth of our
organization and the general prosperity of our
employees.
Enjoy these Lance goodies, Mr. Roosevelt.
Try for example a ToasTchee, delicious with
your favorite beverage, hot or cold....And
in the meantime we'll promise not to grum-
ble if Old Santa, on his way south, is

The picture seen by Rabbi Levey has been seen by a

returned to office a third time a big man, a really great
American. It is regrettable that SO many of the Willkie
adherents failed to accept the will of the majority in the

proper spirit. Most of these people are cutting off their
noses to spite their face and are merely retarding the aboli-

The reason Roosevelt won is because the people recognized

Press Release No. 309:
Last year five prizes were awarded Mr. John J. Loughlin, 133 E. 35th Street,
New York City, from Underwood & Underwood, official photographers of the New
York World's Fair of 1939. This year up-to-date he has received six honorable
mentions from the New York World's Fair Photographers Society of America. He
has taken unusual shots of the Perisphere and Trylon, the theme picture of the
New York World's Fair, which are very hard to duplicate.
Judging the picture of Abraham Lincoln by the New York World's Fair Photographers
Society of America, Mr. Loughlin was honorably mentioned. This picture was taken
on a moonlight night and will be hard to duplicate. It was taken with an ancient
box Brownie Kodak which Mr. Loughlin has used for about twenty years, which proves
it is the man behind the camera. In this connection, I might say that each week
the Photographic Society of America have different judges and this makes me feel
that Mr. Loughlin's picture has won their merit. This proves that any individual
had as much of a chance to win as anybody else. I do think the contest was really
judged by the merit of its pictures. The same applies to Underwood & Underwood,
who, as stated above, were the official photographers of 1939, New York World's
Fair.
Mr. Loughlin wants to thank the judges through the press, who were the judges of
the Photographic Society of America for selecting his pictures as honorable mention,
also Underwood & Underwood, who awarded him prize pictures.
The Louisville, Kentucky papers are going to copy the Abraham Lincoln picture
and put it in their rotogravure sections. This picture will also be published
February 10, 1941 in the News Edition of America Chemical Society, Washington,
D. C. of which Mr. Harrison E. Howe is editor. This magazine is very popular
and this picture will be seen throughout the country. This picture stands out
as one of Mr. Loughlin's best shots at the entire Fair. He has submitted this
famous Lincoln picture "With Malice Toward None" to register of copyrights,
Library of Congress, Washington, D. C.
One of the most photographed objects on the Fair grounds is this picture of
Abraham Lincoln by C. D. V. Hunt known as "Malice Toward None" and a picture
of which Mr. Loughlin presented to Honorable Henry Horner, Governor of the
State of Illinois.
