NEXT DISTRICT DAY
IN HOUSE SHIFTED
With Monday as Washington's
Birthday Anniversary, D. C.
Bills Go Over to Tuesday.
“District day” in the House—the
day on which District legislation is
supposed to have the right of way—
is scheduled next Tuesday instead of
Monday, the regular day.
The change was made at the re
quest of Majority Leader Rayburn,
who pointed out that Monday is
George Washington’s birthday anni
versary, and many members would
not be in Washington, even though
the House may be in session.
“District days" arc scheduled regu
larly for the second and fourth Mon- ,
days of each month.
A bill designed to modernize and
humanize Juvenile Court procedure
has a preferred status on the House
calendar and will be the first measure
j considered when the District calendar
I is called up. General debate on this
bill was started on the last ‘'District
day."

U.S. Senator Gerald E Nye says:
"I enjoy the comfort a light smoke
gives my throat”
"I have smoked Luckies off and on
ever since my first term in the Senate
11 years ago, and I hare always en
joyed their taste and the feeling of
comfort and safety a light smoke
gives my throat. I have done a great
deal of public speaking, on the floor
of the Senate, over the radio and at
conferences. Necessarily this results
in a strain on the voice. So naturally,
in smoking, I have to think of my
throat —and I have found that a
light smoke is suitable to my throat
. HON. GERALD P. NYE
U. S. SENATOR FROM NORTH DAKOTA
In a recent independent survey, an overwhelm
ing majority of lawyers, doctors, lecturers, scien
tists, etc., who said they smoked cigarettes, ex
pressed their personal preference for a light smoke.
Senator Nye’s statement verifies the wisdom of
this preference and so do leading artists of radio,
stage, screen and opera, whose voices are their
fortunes, and who choose Luckies, a light smoke.
You, too, can have the throat protection of Luckies
— a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants
removed by the exclusive process "It’s Toasted”.
Luckies are gentle on your throat.
