W. Church Now Enriched By His Work Tony D'Orazi With one notworthy mural in a 1 Northwest Church to his credit, Tony D'Orazi, youthful artist, is eager to record his devotion to the same high cause that claimed the best efforts of the old mas- e ters by doing religious paintings d for churches here. He offers his art free and asks only that scaf- 1. folding and materials be supplied. The Church of St. Francis e Xavier in Missoula, Mr. D'Orazi's home parish, was enriched by his g painting a mural of the "Eight n Jesuit Martyrs." This mural has d been highly lauded by art critics La Morte de and its technique likened to that la Elena of old masters in whom D'Orazi seeks inspiration. Antonic D'Orazi D'Orazi has taught in leading March 7 1932 A.D. New York schools of art and has done work for some of the "smartest" of national publica- tions, but abandoned that field because it did not satisfy his aspi- rations. Since coming to Seattle he has served one of the daily papers here. He now is teaching art in the Broadway High night school. He wishes to devote his free time to Christian art as a idam step on the highroad to his life's ambition, the erecution of a mural in the Vatican, where the glory and the spirit of Michelangelo and Bernini are enshrined.

August 4th., I933 Mr. Marvin H.McIntyre Summer Whitehouse Market Street Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Dear Sir: This is a personal letter to you and is there fore to be treated as such. I would appreciate it very much if you do not have it published. The writer is connected with the above con- cern in the capicity of one of the owners. Incidentally, we are now dis- playing the "Blue Eagle", signifing that we are co-operating with The President in his "N. R. A.". This company would like to present to Pres- ident Roosevelt a pair of our trousers (with our compliments), but can not do so unless we know his waist and inseam measurements - and the kind of material that he would like to have. Our summer stock (such as white flannells, white ducks, etc.) is very low, but we have a nice Fall Line. I am sure that Mr. Roosevelt would be able to find a style to his liking - without any difficulty. I would be very happy to present you with a pair for your personal use - under the conditions above stated. I realise that both you and The President are very, very busy men and therefore could not take time to come down and look over our stack, although we would certainly be honored by such a vis- it. In view of the above fact, I have this suggestion to offer: If you would make an appointment for me (with either Mr. Roosevelt or yourself) I would consider it a pleasure and a privelge to bring some sample mat- erials of what we have in stock - or could be made up -to either one or both of you, and then you could make your own selections. Thanking you in advance for your courtsey and trusting I will hear from you shortly, I beg to remain, yours very truly, Stanley G. Hull Stanley G.

McIntyre 25 Market Street Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Dear Sir: Thank you very much for replying to my letter so promptly. I am indded very sorry to have to bother you again, but I am determined that the President and yourself shall have a pair of our tro- users. You made the suggestion that I communicate with a Donald Hopkin (tailor) of New York City, who would furnish me with the President's measurements. I have looked through the N. Y. City Directory, but cannot seen to locate his adress. Will you be kind enough to fur- nish me with this information? THAT After I receive the measurements, it will be necessary the I either see Mr. Roosevelt (or yourseff), so I will know what kind of material he desires. In your letter you made no mention of the pair of trousers that I offered for your personal use. Would you suggest that I write directly to the President and make him this offer personally, or do it through you? I have had the honor of meeting Our President personally (at a Grotto meeting here in this City), but I doubt if he would remember me. I wish to thank you again for you co-operation and for the fine spirit you have shown , in being of help to me, and beg to remain, Yours very truly, Stanley G. Hull Stanley G. Hull 520 Poughkeepsie, N. Y., August 10, 1933. My dear Mr. Hull: The correct address of Mr. Donald Hopkin is 520 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Almost any kind of material you may choose will be quite satisfactory. Much as I would like to do it, it is impossible to arrange an appointment with the President, since he has indi- cated his desire to devote his stay here to rest and study. My tailor in New York is Abe Friedman, 1 Rector Street, whom I am sure will be glad to give you the measurements. Sincerely yours, M. H McIntyre, Assis ant Secretary to the President. Stanley G.

GERBEN DE VRIES TEMPLE ORANGE GROVES NEW PORT richey FLORIDA ack8/15/83 August 10, 1933. Hon. Louis McH. Howe, Secretary to the President, Washington, D.C. My dear Mr. Howe ,-- Unless something unforeseen happens, I will harvest a very choice crop of Temple oranges in December. To show my appreciation for what our President is doing for National recovery, I would like to send him some of this special variety of fruit at that time. To guard against anything happening to the fruit in transit and that it may be delivered to the President personally, will you kindly suggest to me the proper method of handling. Mr. John S. Taylor, President of Florida Citrus Exchange will vouch for the fact that I am a reliable grower. Very respectfully, Gerben Hries GERBEN DE VRIES TEMPLE ORANGE GROVES NEW PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA, Dec. 15, 1931 Dear Friend: It has been stated on good authority that my Temple Oranges EXCEL all oranges of all varieties grown in the Pinellas section this season as to color, size, texture, juice content and eating qualities. Having opportunity to dispose of part of this year's crop to the fancy retail trade in Tampa and St. Petersburg I hereby offer my friends the same grove run oranges at the same price. $2.50 per half-box, properly packed, delivered at Express station here, ready for shipment,-or $3.50 per half-box, express charges prepaid to points east of the Mississippi River. No orders for shipment to Canada accepted. Temple oranges are packed only in half size boxes. This fruit will be fully tree ripened and colored by January 1st,-but if you get your order in now I will be in position to give same preference over local demand. If you also wish to have some Temple oranges sent by me to your friends or relatives, include same in order and be sure to give correct addresses SO there will be no delay in transit. With order enclose check or Money Order, specifying whether or not to send express charges prepaid. Temple oranges like these were sold in some of the best northern retail markets last season at $1.00 per dozen, but the growers did not seem to get the benefit of those high prices. This year, rather than risk the "auction" I have decided to sell direct, SO my friends and your friends may know what this super-orange is like. The definite horticultural description of a Temple Orange as given by Hume in "CULTURE OF CITRUS FRUITS," is.-"First introduced in 1917: form oblate; size medium to large; skin smooth or pebbled, leathery, thin, separating easily from the pulp; sections 10 to 12, with very thin partitions; flesh orange, melting, free from rag, very juicy; acidity and sweetness well blended; flavor spicy, rich, vinous and very characteristic." spritaly Yours for tasty "juicy fruit," Gerben De Vries. Franklin D. Roosevelt Hyde Park, Dutchess County, New York, Jan 20, 1933. Mr. Gerben M. De Vries, Temple Orange Groves, New Port Richey, Florida. My dear Mr. De Vries :: Mr. Roosevelt was much interested in the plan you are promoting for consuming the wheat surplus by marketing for domestic use "cooked wheat" in cans.

WE DO OUR PART P.7 9-D NRA es U.S. WE DO OUR PART P7 7 9-8 "N-I-R-A" (a game) DEDICATED to Sistie and Buzzie Dall by Sister Dolores Saint Ursula Convent 1339 East McMillan Street es Cincinnati, Ohio "N-I-R-A" Any number of players. Playground - gymnasium. P7 9-D Equipment : Two note books; two pencils; a piece of chalk; and a United States Flag, or a whistle. Diagram : On either end of the playground there should be a three foot goal, and a six foot safety zone, indicated by lines drawn across the floor space. For the above given dimensions, the distance between the two safety zones should be at least eighty feet. Organiza- tion : The players choose a President and he will choose two senators. The mentioned senator will re- present the "gold" standard; the second named senator, the "silver" standard. The other players will form a circle, and the first chosen sen- ator counts them off by two's. The one's will be the "gold" es team; the two's the "silver"team. The "gold" senator will take his team to the goal at the right. The "silver" senator - to the left goal. There each senator will place a value on each of his players, count- ing off by: nickle, dime, quarter; nickle, dime, quarter, until every player has a value. Each senator will also value one player at one dollar, plus his given number. But the dollar play- er should be unknown to the oppos- ing senator and players. P7 Bothe sides of players remain in their goal until a signal is given by the President, who will either 9-D wave a flag or blow a whistle. Immediately, the "gold" senator will say, "forward" and promptly, his players will run over to the "silver" goal line or, as near as, they dare to venture. When the "silver" senator thinks the opponents are near enough, or off their guard, he will call in a loud voice, "N-I-R-A". Instantly, the "silver" players will dash after theiropponents, tagging them before they reach their safety line. The captured players will, at once, turn around and go to the "silver" senator, who will remain at his safety line, and there each captive will state his value. When the senator has made a note of his gains, the captives will be free and should run to their own goal and be ready for their opponents' approach. The "dollar" player, if caught, es will give his value as, "one dollar" plus his first given value, when he returns to his goal, his senator will take the "dollar" value from him and give it to another player, in order to keep the "dollar" player unknown. By this time, the "silver" team also should be ready for its signal, because the senators. must be very prompt in order to give life to the game. The "silver" senator will call, "forward" and his team will run over and give a dare to its opponents, and P 7 7 the same procedure as above will take place, that is, the sides will alter- nate after each challenge. 9-8 Rules : Every player must remember his given value. Honesty should be the ideal, if a player fails in this he is out of the game. Promptness must be strictly observed and alertness should be practiced. No goal man may have his foot over the goal line before the signal is given. When the chased players cross their safety line they are safe. The chasers should endeavor not to cross their opponents' safety line. A player may tag but one opponent in one running. The game may continue as long as the time permits. The Final: At the close of the game each sen- ator will add up his gains. es This being done, both will approach the President and present the results of their victories. Thereupon, the President will rise, give the signal for order, and state the results of the game. Object : The object of this game is to see which senator can bring in the most money towards the President's "N-I-R-A". \ PP7 9-D es August 16, 1933.

Dear Mr. President: It was a great privilege for me to ride in your party on last Saturday, August 12, on your trip through the Shenandoah Valley, and on your tour of the C. C. C. Camps in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I am a banker by occupation, but in my leisure I devote some time to the press, I was with the press car of the Harrisonburg Daily- News Record through the courtesy of Mr. John R. Crown, Editor, and right-hand man, of Senator Harry F. Byrd who owns an interest in that paper, The people up here think lots of Senator Byrd. I also write special stores for the Staunton News-Leader (Augusta County), and am enclosing herewith a clipping taken from that paper which contains a story of mine, written from a local standpoint, and which was added to a. portion of an A. P. story. I live near the first C. C. C. Camp which you inspected near Grottoes, I was in the vicinity of the Camp yesterday, and the boys are still talking about your visit, It was a great inspiration to them, as well as to the rest of us Virginians, to have had the honor of your presence. We are honored again this week by the presence of another high government official in our locality. Secretary Hull is now at a river camp located not more than two miles from where I am writing where, as I understand, he is taking a. week's vacation. Mr. Staley, of Harrisonburg, Official Photographer of the Shenandoah National Park, took two excellent head profile pictures of you at the Grottoes Camp from the running board of your auto- mobile. These profiles are about ten by fourteen inches, and are excellent. One showed you smiling at the boys, and the other gazing at the mountains, They are excellent character studies, and if the photographer has not supplied you with copies I shall be glad to forward you the two with my compliments. We extend to you a hearty invitation to visit us again in the near future, and I hope it may again be my pleasure to see you. Very respectfully yours, Frank S. Driver, Weyers Cave, Virginia.

My dear President; Due to being misinformed the past week as to your vacation, I have held up the package of Artichoke sticks and noodles that I was to ship you at Washington. Today I have sent you this pacakge and hope you will enjoy them. I have also mailed Mr. Frederick Bates, Chief of the Polarimetry section, Bureau of Standards a large supply of the same products for a test and analysis. Bates has assisted me in many ways for the past few years on the American Artichoke. I firmly beleive that the American Artichoke flour mixed with ordinary flour will make a better food product and if the tests now being made by the Bureau of Standards show that it can be consumed by the Diabetic's I am sure that it will open up a new and large industry all over the country. The small plant of Canepa Bros of 150 Sullivan St. New York City is only an experimental one on my products. We are now supplying Bloomingdale Bros and on Monday start shipping to Abraham & Straus Co. of Brooklyn with these finished products. The 111 schools of the City of New York are going to enlarge the planting of artichokes this fall as the director of gardens advised me that the growth of these plants was so large that they were going to plant the larger amount. Many of the leading newspapers from time to time are writing articles about the new dreaded white man disease "Diabetis" caused from eating to many starchy foods. The American Artichoke is a non starch vegetable and should help our people a great deal. On Sept. 15th or 30th I will start to market a very large crop at Fort Bragg. N.C. and will send you some of the raw material and also my special recipe booklet showing how this vegetable can be prepared for the table in 120 different ways. Again hoping the package will arrive O.K. and hope you enjoy the sticks and noodles, the last mentioned should be cooked as you would spaghetti. Thanking you in advance, Respectfully yours. AAD/BB.

These products have been accepted by this company and we are now awaiting boxes and other packing materials so that deliveries can be made. I hope to establish plants in every large city in the United States from results that I will receive here in New York. This will be the means of employing a great deal of help and also the planting of larger artichoke acreage throughout the country. The Board of Education, City of New York who received seed from me last year are now planning to increase the planting withh the next 30 days as the crops have surprised the ones who have charge of the many nature gardens here.
