"Happy Days"
A renegade to Philadelphia's rich Republicans is William Curtis Bok, able young son of the late great Editor Edward Bok, grandson of the late great Publisher Cyrus Herman Kotzschmar Curtis. Three years ago this heir apparent to the soundly pro-GOP Saturday Evening Post shocked his conservative fellow citizens by stumping for the New Deal. Last week they received another jolt when smart, pretty Nellie Lee Holt Bok, onetime religious education director at Missouri's Stephens College for Women, followed her husband into Democratic ranks.
A Republican for 14 years, Mrs. Bok opened a series of nationwide broadcasts entitled "Happy Days," sponsored by the Democratic National Committee. Declared she: "In three years Mr. Roosevelt has established our foreign relations on such a high plane that even his political foes do not question his policies.
