Government accounts, as reported by "banks in 3^4 selected centers for the month of November aggregated $333*9 billion. During the past three months debits amounted to $1,026.4 billion or 8.7 per cent above the total reported for the corresponding period a year ago. At banks in New York City there was an increase of 10.6 per cent compared with the corresponding three-months period a year ago; at 6 other leading centers the increase was 4.3 per cent; and at 337 other centers it was 9.1 per cent. Seasonally adjusted debits to demand deposit accounts increased further in November to a level of $352.0 billion, but still remained slightly below the July peak. Changes at banks in New York City and 6 other leading centers were small and partially offsetting, but at 337 other centers, debits reached a new peak of $135-4 billion. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of turnover of demand deposits at 3^3 centers outside New York City remained unchanged at 35*5, a little below the April high but about 3-5 per cent higher than the October-November average last year.

  • Wilderness Hero 3
    Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center’s Wilderness Investigations High School Wilderness Hero #3 John F. Kennedy President John F. Kennedy; 35th U.S. President (No copyright indicated) Common Core Standard Connections Standards addressed will vary depending on how the teacher chooses to approach the lesson and/or activities. Instructions for the teacher: Rarely, if ever, is one individual responsible for the hard work and vision involved in bringing about wilderness legislation, specific wilderness designation, or wilderness management. The 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was an important player in the ultimate success of the Wilderness Act of 1964 (signed into law the year after his untimely death). John F. Kennedy is the focus of this Wilderness Hero spotlight. To help students get to know this amazing wilderness hero, choose one or more of the following: • Photocopy and hand out Wilderness Hero Sheet #3 to each student. 143 o Based on the information found there, have them write a short news article about John F. Kennedy and his role in the story of designated wilderness. • From the list of wilderness quotes found within Wilderness Hero Sheet #3, have students select one or more, copy the quote, and then interpret what the quote(s) means to them. • Use the handout as the basis of a short mini-lesson about John F. Kennedy and wilderness. • Have students research John F. Kennedy’s presidency and from their findings create a timeline showing important events taking place during President Kennedy’s administration (January 1961 – November 1963). o This was a time of significant national and world events (Cuban Missile Crisis, civil rights movement, early Viet Nam War involvement, financial challenges, etc.).

Ponton In 1960, John F. Kennedy, a wealthy New England Catholic, traveled to a rural, Protestant state to contend in an election that few thought he could win. While many scholars have examined the impact of Kennedy’s victory in the West Virginia primary, few have analyzed the importance that his visit to the state in 1960 and his ensuing administration had on West Virginia. Kennedy enacted a number of policies directed specifically toward relieving the poverty that had plagued West Virginia since statehood.

  • Waveland, Mississippi, November 1964: Death of Sncc, Birth of Radicalism
    WAVELAND, MISSISSIPPI, NOVEMBER 1964: DEATH OF SNCC, BIRTH OF RADICALISM University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire: History Department History 489: Research Seminar Professor Robert Gough Professor Selika Ducksworth – Lawton, Cooperating Professor Matthew Pronley University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire May 2008 Abstract: The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced Snick) was a nonviolent direct action organization that participated in the civil rights movement in the 1960s. After the Freedom Summer, where hundreds of northern volunteers came to participate in voter registration drives among rural blacks, SNCC underwent internal upheaval. The upheaval was centered on the future direction of SNCC. Several staff meetings occurred in the fall of 1964, none more important than the staff retreat in Waveland, Mississippi, in November. Thirty-seven position papers were written before the retreat in order to reflect upon the question of future direction of the organization; however, along with answers about the future direction, these papers also outlined and foreshadowed future trends in radical thought. Most specifically, these trends include race relations within SNCC, which resulted in the emergence of black self-consciousness and an exodus of hundreds of white activists from SNCC. ii Table of Contents: Abstract ii Historiography 1 Introduction to Civil Rights and SNCC 5 Waveland Retreat 16 Position Papers – Racial Tensions 18 Time after Waveland – SNCC’s New Identity 26 Conclusion 29 Bibliography 32 iii Historiography Research can both answer questions and create them. Initially I discovered SNCC though Taylor Branch’s epic volumes on the Civil Right Movements in the 1960s. Further reading revealed the role of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced Snick) in the Civil Right Movement and opened the doors into an effective and controversial organization.

The Checklist is compiled from individual lists furnished by the publishing agencies and from copies of the publications furnished by the same sources. Though every effort has been made to produce a Checklist free of error, in some instances the lists furnished by the agencies have not been entirely exact. For this reason, it is not to be expected that the Checklist is entirely complete or accurate. The publications are listed alphabetically according to the names of the issuing agencies, the name in each case being that which ap­ pears in the title of the publication. Whenever the information is available, the entry gives the name of the publishing agency, the title (frequently in short form), the name of the personal author or editor, the volume or other serial number, the date of publication, and the number of pages and the price (if any). Orders for copies of state publications must be sent to the publishing agencies except in the case of the Acts and Joint Resolutions and the Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1962, and Cumulative Supplement (published by the Code Commissioner), the Journals and the Reports and Resolutions (published by the General As­ sembly), and Reports of Cases Heard and Determined by the Supreme Court of South Carolina (published by the Supreme Court).

  • Dallas, November 1963
    Dallas, November 1963 A television documentary November 22, 2013 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas—perhaps the most infamous single event of the twentieth century. Dallas, November 1963 observes the anniversary by looking back on the world-altering assassination from the perspective of a young surgeon at Dallas’s Parkland Memorial Hospital who worked valiantly to save the president’s life. Dr. Kenneth Salyer, who has gone on to become an internationally renowned reconstructive plastic surgeon, recounts in riveting detail the events of that infamous day, the nature of the president’s injuries, and his startling medical insights into the reality of what occurred at Dallas’s Dealey Plaza when the president was shot. For half a century, historians, journalists, forensic scientists, and amateur investigators have tried to determine conclusively whether assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone or as part of a conspiracy. Numerous theories continue assert that there must have been a second gunman, yet if in fact there was one, his identity has to be considered perhaps the best-kept secret of all time. One of the several surgeons who worked valiantly to keep the president alive, Dr. Salyer believes— and argues forcefully—that the very heavy leather back brace the president wore because of injuries he sustained in World War II (and which Dr. Salyer personally cut away) factored directly, even decisively, in the president’s death. Dr. Salyer contends that the brace kept the president rigidly upright following the first, non-lethal bullet wound to his neck.

  • 22 November 1963: Where Were You?
    22 November 1963: Where Were You? Our Class had a unique relationship with President John F. Kennedy. He became president when we became upper class. He was a Navy Man, war hero, skipper of PT- 109. He loved football and the Army-Navy game. We lost our ‘rubbers’ when we marched in his Inaugural Parade, and we lost our innocence on 22 November 1963. Our experiences that day were unique, and for the first time since throwing our hats in Halsey Field House five months earlier, we were all unified via a single event. What is your story? Where were you when you first heard that the President had been assassinated? Our classmates contributed the following memories. Ron Walters (6th Co): I remember that day. I was on the USS Cromwell (DE- 1014) off the coast of Brazil when President Kennedy was assassinated. Mike Blackledge (4th Co): I had just returned from [grad school] math class at North Carolina State and as I came through the quadrangle, I heard the radios reporting from the open windows of the dormitories. I received a second shock when one of the undergrads called out, “Hey, I wonder what Jackie’s doing tonight?” Two different worlds. Bob Lagassa (2nd Co): I will never forget that day. I, along with a large group of '63 classmates, was in the middle of a typical Submarine School day of study and lectures at SubBase New London when we heard the fateful news. We were stunned, shocked, angry, tearful! Classes were suspended the remainder of the day and we went to our loved ones for consolation.

  • Lyndon B. Johnson, "Let Us Continue" (27 November 1963)
    Voices of Democracy 4 (2009): 97‐119 Barrett 97 LYNDON B. JOHNSON, "LET US CONTINUE" (27 NOVEMBER 1963) Ashley Barrett Baylor University Abstract "Let Us Continue" was one of the most important speeches of Lyndon Johnson's political career; it served as a gateway to the leadership and legitimacy he needed for his presidency to succeed. This essay investigates the composition of "Let Us Continue" and seeks to rightfully accredit Horace Busby as the most important speechwriter to contribute to its artistry and success. The essay also emphasizes the obstacles Johnson confronted in his ascension to the Oval Office. Key Words: Lyndon Baines Johnson, John F. Kennedy, Theodore Sorensen, Horace Busby, presidential assassination, and speechwriting. All I have I would have given gladly not to be standing here today. The greatest leader of our time has been struck down by the foulest deed of our time. Today John Fitzgerald Kennedy lives on in the immortal words and works that he left behind. He lives on in the minds and memories of mankind. He lives on in the hearts of his countrymen. No words are sad enough to express our sense of loss. (2‐7)1 Lyndon Baines Johnson November 27, 1963 The assassination of President John F. Kennedy represented a period of national mourning for the young leader's tragic loss. Although the "president's ratings in the polls were as low as they had ever been," Americans struggled to process the tragedy and feared the threat to their national security.2 No one realized these threats better than Lyndon B.
