S'-' :..•< f)i' THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1940 THE LONG ISLAND TRAVBLBR MllKIE YOUTH . ST. CATHERINKS. OntarIo.-JilHa Willkle, older lister of Wendel Wlllkie, has been a reilde’it of this town tor everal years. She la unmarried and has a good Job hs an Industrial chern* 1st hero. In an Interview today, she discussed the old days In ICIwood. \1 think Wen can iwing th3 Job of President,\ she said. “I say this be* eanse the boy Is father to the man, and I have known both the boy and the man. Mora than most of us, Wen reflects his ancestors, his parents, his home and his home tev'n. \Ours was a working family, back In Blwood. ?rom our earliest days father nrged us to work. He Uught us It was honest to one’s s<«lt and dignlfled tnd really fun to work. When Wen was 9 jrears old, be was 4 newspaper boy, and covered his route after school. He delivered the Rlwood Dally Record and the Blwood Call-Leader. \Wen's first regular job. when ne was 13, was driving a bread wagon. This he did evenings and Saturdays. His customers were farmers, and he utilized his Job to learn all he could about land, livestock and farm prob lems. His salary was $3 a week p^ld in cartwheel Collars. \A tew years later he and Brother Fred formed the Willkle Distributing Co., which distributed handbills, cir culars, cards and samples about town. The little business prospered over a considerable period “But Father was especially anxious to have the boys work among strang ers. He told them to «.xplore the coi.n try and find Jobs tor themselves. Every summer he would give them carfare to some distant point and ^ few dollars extra for Job-hunting ex penses. “During these years, Wen pitched hay in Wyoming, helped harvest wheat In Kansas, worked on fruit for an Indiana wholesaler, had a Job as a la borer in a Colorado beet sugar factory, was a barker tor a circus in South Dakota. . “After Wen graduated from college and before be went to law school, te worked a few years at various lobs. He taught suhooi In Texas and became actively interested In boys' organiza tion work. He obtained a position asi a chemist in Porto Rico with the Faj ardo Sugar Co. and worked there a year. Then be returned to Indiana Uni versity for his law course. He prac tised law in Father's ofiice for a year, until he and Brother Bob enlisted as privates, the first <men from Blwood to go to war. After be was demobilized in France, he came back and worked on the legal staff of the Firestone Tire'Co. “Wen is the most ''.onest person 1 ever met. There Isn't an ounce of pose or affectation in him. I think people Instinctively recognize that quality In him. Bver since his earliest days, he has had a tremendous drive—an petus to conquer the task before him.\ EX P E R T JU D G E S P R I Z E W I N N E R Wendell Willkle Beware the government, iiowever virtuous, that demands 100 percent acquiescence. The difference between a good tyrant and a bad one is only a difference in time. Anything you may do at this time to shake the confidence if the great mast of the American people In either the President or the National Government is a sin against- free enterprise, in dividual liberty, political democracy and your own self-interest. Follow the Forgetting politics for a while. Wendell Willkle Inepecu a prize winner, com pering It with tome of the etock on hie own Rueh County fermee Wendell Willkie 1 am not Interested in the support of anybody who stands for any form of prejudice as co anybody’s ace or religion, or who is In support of any foreign economic or political philos ophy in this countr^. .The true liberal Is as much opposed to excessive concentration of powers in the hands of government as to ex cessive concentration in the hands of buMness. In other words, he maintains his freedom against all comers. Unfortunately, because government rarely relinquishes a power which it has once obtained, the emergency Character of depression measures was shortly disregarded; the government embarked upon vast continuing spend- lend programs designed not to pro mote private enterprise but to promote direct flnancial and economic activity by the government. Wendell Willkle I dedicate myself to three things: One, a united ,>eople without class consciousness, distinction or class hatred: Two the rehabilitation of our national economic life; Three, an ade quate defense system. Pressure upon the press is a favorite weapon by which the Administration seeks to silence the opposition—and to the credit of the press, it is generally a futile one. 1 call on you to Join me, not In a political campaign, but in a great cru sade to restore America to its true tradition so that it may stand before the world as a great, united and strong country. Unity of our people, rehabilitation of our economic life, and the building of an adequate defense are indispen sable to the preservation of our way of life.
