Clothes And The Child
By LOIS SNELLING
Dora sent a box full of clothing to
her young nephew, and among the
things included was a pair of pants.
Visiting in the home later she hap
pened to see the pants, fresh and new
as on the day she had sent them.
"Why, Lil," she said to her sister,
"Don has never worn these pants at
all. What's wrong with them?"
Embarrassed, Lil shook her head.
"I didn't want you to know," she said,
"because I thought you might not un
derstand. It was sweet of you to send
them, and they are so nice and made
of such expensive material. But Don
wouldn't wear them."
"But why? They are nice pants
the style is good, and the material!"
"Well, they are short—and Don
says all the boys in his crowd wear
'longies'."
"But, Lil, you can't let a little tad
like Don select his own clothes—de
cide what he ought to wear!"
"Oh, yes, I can, and I believe par
ents should—to a certain extent, I
mean. Of course, we shouldn't cater
to overmuch vanity or to the desire
for extreme styles or too extravagant
tastes.
"I'm sorry, Dora, about the pants.
I know how you feel, for I've some
times had my own selections turned
down, too. I often argue with Don on
the subject of clothes, but if he is de
termined, I usually give in to him. For
I'll tell you frankly, I'd rather disap
point him in almost any other way
than to force him to wear what he
thinks is not correct. Nothing will
give a child an inferiority complex so
quickly as the feeling that his clothes
are not right."
"I understand that," Dora protest
ed, "but these pants are right."
"Not in Don's mind—and it is his
mind that would develop the complex.
I tried to tell him that the shorts are
stylish, and he didn't doubt my word.
But he knew that his friends wear
'longies', he would be conspicuous.
And I knew that if I made him weal
th use pants while he felt that way, I
should be placing him under a handi
cap just as surely as if I arranged
his hair in a queue.
"Why, Dora, I've seen little girls
completely transformed by being
dressed in beautiful frocks. In fact,
I can remember, very distinctly, such
a transformation act in a small girl
named Lil. I remember, too, when I
was in a little school play—how
scared I was! Practicing in my
brown gingham dress, I felt certain
that I never should be able to get up
before an audience and do my part.
But when the time came, I was so
elated over the way I looked in my
pink fairy costume, I forgot all about
being scared.
"And don't ever think little boys
are less sensitive about clothes than
girls. In fact, I believe they are more
so. Their clothes need not be so fine,
or so many, but they've got to be just
right.
"It wasn't altogether the change in
Cinderella's outward appearance that
enabled her to go out and carry off
the prince, in spite of all the other
girls' charms. It was the satisfaction
that her fine clothes brought to her
really lovely mind."
"I guess you're right," Dora ad
mitted. "I know that I am always at
my best when I am certain that I'm
well-dressed."
"Yes," Lil smiled reminiscentially,
"and

People's Character
An address given by Spencer Mil
ler, Jr., Director of the Workers' Edu
cation Bureau of America, on Thurs
day, September 25, 1941 at Federal
Hall, New York City, in connection
with commemoration of the anni
versary of the enactment of the Bill
of Rights under the auspices of the
Citizenship Educational Service and
Federal Hall Memorial Associates.
The Bill of Rights is the heart of
our constitutional democracy. It came
from the heart of the people. The
first ten amendments to the Constitu
tion enacted by the first Congress of
the United States one hundred and
fifty years ago today were in fact a
people's charter. These amendments
arose out of the insistent demand of
the common people—the farmers and
town artisans of that day—together
with such leaders of the democracy as
Jefferson and Madison. They and the
other colonists had seen their houses
broken into, their papers ransacked,
their charters taken from them, their
right to trial by jury jeopardized,
troops quartered in their midst, the
right to speak, assemble, and print
suppressed. They had made heroic
sacrifices to secure the recognition of
these rights they were determined
that these rights should be preserved.
"So strongly indeed did the peopie
feel about the fundamental guaran
tees against encroachments on their
rights that the Constitution could not
possibly have been adopted," in the
words of James Truslow Adams, "if
the people of some of the more im
portant states such as Massachusetts
and Virginia had not been assured
that as soon as it was adopted ap
propriate amendments would be rec
ommended by Congress in the way
provided under the instrument itself."
Moreover, it is interesting to recall
that before the Bill of Rights was in
corporated into the Constitution, there
were Bill of Rights in many of the
State Constitutions. Many of the
Founding Fathers thought these
guarantees sufficient. The people,
however, divined the future more
clearly. They sensed that the Fed
eral Government would in days to
come acquire more power and that re
straints on such power should be in
corporated into the Federal Constitu
tion. History has certainly vindicated
their conclusion. It is the peculiar
virtue of the Bill of Rights that its
substance has changed and is chang
ing by the gradual process of inter
pretation. But with ail this change,
after a hundred and fifty years this
People's Charter is still the bulwark
of our liberties.
Today the American workingmen
have come anew to recognize that the
four freedoms guaranteed in the Bill
of Rights are their very breath of
life. Without freedoms to speak, to
print, to assemble, to worship there
can be no democracy and no labor
movement without freedom to think,
to teach, and to act in cooperation
with others there can be no Great
Society. Where labor is not free,
these all are in bondage. Where labor
is not free, there can be no enduring
democracy. Where labor is free,
there is the possibility of democracy
and justice for all. For the trade
union movement is the very bulwark
of the democratic way of life and the
fearless champion of social justice.
Destroy the trade unions and you de
stroy the first line of defense of a
democratic society and the best hope
of social justice.
This People's Charter which we
have come to commemorate this day
is not only the shield of our liberties
but the very buckler of unity for a
free people, through which we shail
be able to achieve the American
dream. Americans all will do well to
rededicate themselves to the timeless
principles as embodied in this great
document, for in it lives "the sum of
man's victories over the forces of
barbarism and oppression, and in its
preservation lies the hope of man as
a free individual."

LABOR NEWS
FROM BRITAIN
WORKERS' WELFARE
NATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
TRIUMPH OF PLANNING
London.—Within a year a bigger
workers' welfare organization has
been built up in war-time Britain than
ever existed before. It is the creation
of the Ministry of Labor and National
Service.
Fifteen months ago, the Minister
(Ernest Bevin) arranged with his
ministerial colleague at the home of
fice to take over its factory inspec
torate and the machinery for the ad
ministration of the factory acts. It
has combined these with the welfare
activities of his own ministry in a
new Factory and Welfare Depart
ment.
A report upon its first year's work
has just been presented to the Min
ister. It reveals a widespread organi
zation, engaged in remarkably useful
work.
In each of the eleven divisions cor
responding roughly to the civil de
fense regions into which the country
has been divided, there is a divisional
welfare officer.
Under his direction are local wel
fare officers and nearly a hundred of
them are at work in the vaiious re
gions.
Their main functions are to see
that the workpeople in their areas
especially the workers transferred
from other areas to do work of na
tional importance—find satisfactory
accommodation, facilities for meals,
transport, recreation and all other
amenities that can be provided for
their health and comfort. This is
merely one aspect—though an im
portant one—of the welfare work
carried on under expert and sympa
thetic supervision.
Serving the Transferred Workers
What happens when a number of
workpeople are transferred from one
area to another will show how the
welfare machinery operates.
It is the business of the local em
ployment exchange officials to ar
range for the journey of such a group
of workers. If the journey is very
long and complicated a member of one
or other of the voluntary associations
assisting the Ministry's Welfare De
partment, or a representative of the
employers will accompany the party.
It is met on arrival by a welfare
officer. He is already aware of the
arrangements made for the reception
of the party, and has helped to find
billets and he takes the party to the
local employment exchange..
There representatives of the Food
Office, of the Billeting Office, of the
A. R. P. Office, are in attendance to
give each member of the party infor
mation and to assist them in getting
their ration books transferred, their
gas masks inspected, and arranging
for the transport of their luggage and
personal possessions to their billets.
The party of transferred workers
will spend the first night at one of
the Reception Hostels maintained by
the Ministry.
Here voluntary workers under th^
supervision of the welfare officials
see that proper meals are available,
and that the transferees find their
way to their billets next day often
the transferred worker will be accom
panied to his billet and introduced to
his hostess.
At the hostels the transferees are
told of the amenities that are pro
vided in the district and where they
can get heip and guidance from the
official bureaux when any difficulty
arises.
Such a difficulty, for instance, as
discomfort or unpleasantness with the
landlady upon whom a transferred
woaker may be billeted.
It may happen that a worker feel,
uncomfortable in his billet. He may
find an unsympathetic landlady in
stead of a friendly one. She may re-

sent his coming home, if he is doing
dirty work, with muddy boots and
clothes, perhaps at awkward hours, in
volving the use of the bathroom and
the serving of meals at inconvenient
times.
It is the business of the welfare of
ficers and their voluntary helpers to
smooth out such difficulties by keep
ing in touch with both the workers
and their families upon whom they
are billeted.
There are other difficulties, too,
such as food supplies in the billets.
The landlady may also be a war
worker and she may find it difficult
to do her shopping on that account. It
is the business of the welfare officers
to keep an eye 6n this aspect of af
fairs, and to help the landladies in
their task of providing meals for the
billetees.
In conjunction with other authori
ties it is their responsibility to see
that canteen facilities are provided
and, if necessary, to urge the need of
a scheme of public restaurants in the
area.
Many of these restaurants have al
ready been established on a "cash and
carry" plan which enables meals to
be taken from thA restaurant and
warmed up at hoiiJR*-
Care of the Disabled
Another very significant feature of
the Ministry's welfare work not dealt
with in its report, now engages the
active interest of the trade unions.
The Ministry has prepared a scheme
to assist disabled men and women,
civilians injured in air raids, or by ac
cidents in factories to get rehabilita
tion treatment and proper training to
fit them for suitable employment as
soon as they are discharged from the
hospital.
The aim of the scheme is not to
patch up disabled persons arid rush
them back to any employment, but to
qualify them by proper training to
undertake the most skilled work they
are capable of doing.
A long list of trades has been com
piled and arrangements made for
training disabled persons to work at
these trades. Maintenance allowances
on a generous scale are provided for
them whilst they are undergoing
training and rehabilitation.
This official welfare work links up
with the work of voluntary organiza
tions, including St. Dunstan's, the
wonderful hospital at Roehampton,
and the model village created as a
sanatorium by the British Legion in
Kent.
There is, too, linked up with these
official and voluntary welfare activi
ties, the organization established
across the Atlantic from which comes,
mainly through the American Red
Cross, a swelling stream of medical
and surgical supplies. Shipments of
surgical dressings alone from Amer
ica to this country exceed to date
more than 14,CC0,()00.

Straight From
Washington
By STEPHEN M. YOUNG
Congressman at Large, Ohio
Washington.—The greatest mass
slaughter in history is occurring in
Russia. Many Americans find it hard
to shed even crocodile tears over any
misfortune that comes to Dictator Joe
Stalin. The trouble is that he and
those close to him are not being
slaughtered but hundreds of thous
ands unoffending Russians are, simply
because Hitler needs desperately oil
and wheat. Stalin had a hand in train
and bank robberies in his younger
days. As soon as he came to power in
Soviet Russia he has been busy order
ing the execution of his fellow coun
trymen and sending those he saved
from the firing squad into exile to
Siberia. His only other activity, ap
parently, has been to buy ill-fitting
clothes. He went into a partnership
with Adolf Hitler, signed a 10-year
non-augression alliance at Hitler's so
licitation and the war now waged by
Hitler against him is the case of a
smarter and more unprincipled bandit
and blackguard double-crossing his
fellow conspirator. An interesting
sidelight is that Communists in
America who were carrying on peace
demonstrations picketing the White
House folded the day Hitler marched
into Russia and began urging immedi
ate declaration of war against Ger
many.
President Roosevelt in his historic
conference with Prime Minister
Winston Churchill asked, "Winston,
how long did your generals tell you
the Russian army would last?" "Three
weeks," answered the Premier, "and
what did your generals advise you?"
"They said two weeks" replied the
President "but let's skip it. I don't
mention it as they're pretty sensitive
on the subject."
Lend Lease
It is with extreme gratitude that I
acknowledge my reelection to the oliico
of Mayor.
It is my intention to continue to merit
the good-will and support of the Potters.
O. Earl Greenawalt
What, by the way, has become of
those prophets of doom of last March
who said this nation would be in the
war against Hitler within thirty days
after the passage of HR-1776, the
Lend-Lease Bill It is evident that
President Roosevelt is striving to
keep the war away from America.
Only Congress can declare war and if
Ham Fish were to offer his resolution
to declare war against Germany there
would not be thirty votes cast in the
House of Representatives in favor of
this resolution.
There comes a ^ime in the history
of a nation when fateful decisions
must be made. Japan's hour of de
cision is at hand. Congress is de
termined to maintain America's his
toric freedom of the seas even if this
has to be supported by warships with

blazing guns. Our peril is that Japan
has cast her lot with Hitler and has
bound herself in an alliance which
was the result of shrewd manipula
tion by Hitler. Hitler's purpose in
securing an alliance with Japan was
to immobolize our war fleet in the Pa
cific and in event of war with Japan
to divert shipments of war supplies
from the Atlantic to the Far East.
Japan has always been this nation's
best customer. It would seem un
thinkable that a war could break out
between our nations. However a reck
less military and naval clique may
force the Japanese Empire into a war
which would be ruinous to her people.
There never will be any AEF ir. the
Pacific. The Chinese have the man
power. American officers and tech
nicians and the American Xavv will
do the job. It would be suicidal for
Japan to make war against this coun
try but you may be sure if American
freighters are captured in the Jap
anese Straits or interferred with in
the Far East your Navy will go into
action. Japan's air power and sea
power, while formidable, would be de
stroyed. Under President Roosevelt
our Navy and Naval aviation have
been builded until today they are the
most powerful in the world. If there
should be war between Japan and
America it will be due to the mili
tary elements in Japan who have
brushed the moderates aside and
gambled desperately on the idea of a
Hitler victory in Europe. Should
Japan attempt to blockade our com
merce with the Dutch East Indies or
interfere wiih any military shipments
to Siberia our Navy and Naval avia
tion will meet the attack and uphold
the right of this nation to trade peace

Clinic Uncovers
Three T. B. Cases
Three more persons with tubercu
losis were revealed at the regular
monthly clinic held in East Liverpool
last Thursday afternoon. Out of the
thirty-seven persons examined, it was
discovered that three had active, pul
monary tuberculosis requiring imme
diate hospitalization, two had early
silicosis and thirty-two either had no
tuberculosis or healed tuberculosis.
Dr. E. E. Kirkwood, superintendent
of the Mahoning County Sanitorium,
was the examining physician,' assist
ed by Mrs. Jeannette Carpenter, pub
lic health nurse of East Liverpool,
and Mrs. Jennie Calhoun, public
health nurse of Wellsville.
Dr. Kirkwood was of the opinion
that all three persons who were dis
covered with active tuberculosis stood
a good chance of recovering if they
would enter a sanitorium immedi
ately.
These monthly clinics are spon
sored bv the Columbiana County Pub
lic Health League in the interest of
discovering tuberculosis when it is
more readily cureable. The Health
League is doing all in its power to
see that the people of Columbiana
County are protected from those who
have active tuberculosis, but it can
not finance the hospitalization of these
persons. The cost of hospitalization is
rightfully a public responsibility and
should be paid out of public funds.

nervousness?"
"Oh, dear no! She's rich enough
