J. T. D.'s IDEAS
Some reasons why I enjoy The
Butler County Press:
1. They are friend of Labor and
the Common Man.
2. I get more "common sense" read
ing in their four pages than some
papers ten times the size—with long
drawn out articles to fill space.
3. The hue to the line and the
chips fall as they may.
4. Their articles are condensed and
to the point, like "off again, gone
again, Flanigan." and—
5. If I had the Fame of the Roose
velt Dog.
Some one is constantly demanding a
law to restrict the other fellow.
Ecery new law enforced, takes just
that much more freedom from the
masses.
We should stop making new laws,
and demand repeal of thousands now
on the statutes books and remove the
cause for unnecessary Dictation.
In my writing I presume you "gen
tlefolk know" my education is some
what as that of the young lady who
on applying to the School Board of
position as Teacher, being asked as
to her qualification, said, "I'm not
much of a Rithmaticker but a splendid
Gramerist."

Final Fox Hunt Saturday
Hamilton, Ohio. Residents of
Princeton and vicinity will conduct
their final fox hunt of the season
Saturday. The hunt will start at 1
p. m. at the Murray Urmston farm
and hunters will be permitted to use
shotguns. The previous hunts resulted
in the bagging of a total of 11 foxes.
HUNTERS AID USO
Middletown, Ohio.—Fox hunters
have donated $62 to the United Ser
vice Organizations fund, it was an
nounced today.
Voluntary Cooperation
(From American Federationist)
This is in a very special sense la
bor's war—the existence of free unions
is at stake. We have earned the right
to share in responsibility and help
work out problems. We can get crit
ical workers as needed through our
unions and our families. We are proud
to have a responsibile share in the
operations of the War Manpower
Commission. We have helped woi-k out
the l-egulations of voluntary manpow
er control by which woi-kers are di
rected to jobs that need them most.
The result has been a volume of
production that is the greatest in all
history. Free workers outproduce
slave workers. Cooperation is more of
fective than regimentation.
Federal Investigation Aske
Of Florida Mass Arrests
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Tnves
tigation of "unwarranted and illegal
arrests of 25 Negro workers in High
lands County, Fla., is urged in a let
ter sent to Assistant Attorney General
Tom C. Clark by the Workers Defense
League.
Sheriff Doyle Schumacher made the
arrests on charges of vagrancy. The
sheriff, alleging that most of his vie
tims were found loitering around "juke
joints" and places of suspected gamb
ling activities, has threatened to "con
tinue the haul until the manpower
shortage is over."
"There is good reason to suspect
that these Negroes were arrested on
false charges, as were the Ft. Lauder
dale workers in February and March
1944, and that this is a further at
tempt to coerce and intimidate Flor
ida Negroes," DWL national secretary
Morris Milgram told Clark.
"We understand that the sheriff
excuse for the arrests are that he
isn't tolerating idleness among those
able to work during war time," the
WDL letter said.
The following correction appeared in
4-small town paper:
'Our paper carried the notice last
week that Mr. John Doe is a defective
in the police force. This was a typo
graphical error. Mr. Doe is really
detective in the police farce."

Symbolic Red Cross Emblem
ToApp
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Once again,
next month, the scarlet emblem of the
American Red Cross will appear in the
windows of American homes, symboliz
ing the financial support of the nation
in supporting the manifold services of
that organization to American fighting
men overseas.
In every nation of the world, this red
cross has long been the symbol of uni
versal humanitarianiam, both in peace
and in time of war. Today it is worn
by medical corpsmen of all armies and
navies serving the wounded. It pro
tects hospital tents, ships, planes and
trains. Painted on each of the Inter
national Red Cross ships bearing food
parcels to prisoners of war and ex
changed prisoners homeward, it is a
guarantee of safety from acts of war.
To the giver doing bis part to fulfill
the $200,000,000 goal of the American
Red Cross in 1945, it represents his per
sonal part in supplying the material
things which add to the morale of the
American serviceman whether hospi
talized or able-bodied.
The window sticker means more
than dollars contributed to the Red
Cross," Chairman Basil O'Connor de
clared. "It means service clubs, can
teens, recreation rooms and clubmo
biles for the men in war theaters."
To the American Red Cross, each
window sticker is a family's request to
the Red Cross to continue its responsi
bilities on behalf of the son in Italy,
the neighbor's boy half a turn around
the globe in the Philippines, and the
brother fighting on Ihe Western Front.
It is the expression of faith of the
American people that Red Cross will
maintain the supplies of surgical dress
AFL Union Triumphs
In NLRB Vote Contest
Blue Island, 111.—AFL Federal La
bor Union No. 23733 won a smashing
NLRB election victory at the plant of
the Cardox FU'e Extinguisher Co
here. The vote of the workers was
269 to 45.
Organizer John Schrier reported to
AFL President Green that the com
pany was disposed to recognize the
union until the latter submitted a
proposed contract. The company then
showed fight and the election was
called. The union, having demon
strated its strength, will now resume
negotiations on the contract,
Dewey Asks Huge
Public Works Program
Albany, N. Y.—Addressing the
opening session of the State Legisla
ture, Governor Dewey outlined a huge
program of State public works, to be
undertaken in the post-war period at
a cost that might exceed $1,000,000,
000. He recommended an immediate
start toward expanding the State's
social welfare laws. The Governor
also advised a program of pay in
creases for State employes, including
members of the Legislature, that will
increase payrolls by about $6,500,000
a year.
OPA Gives Extra Gas
To Merchant Marine
Washington, D. C.—AFL members
of the OPA Advisory Committee suc
ceeded in bringing about an agency
ruling which will permit the purchase
of extra gasoline by members of the
merchant marine on shore leave be'
tween trips.
The ruling grants to the Merchant
Marine the same consideration which
is extended to members of the armed
forces who needs transportation on
leave or furlough for a period of
three days or more.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
An elderly preacher was stationed
in a section of the deep South where
his parishioners didn't have much
money for his salary. They did help
his budget, though, by inviting him
out to dinner.
As his presence would make these
meals something of an occasion, there
would always be chicken on the table
—fried chicken, roast chicken, chick
en and dumplings, all kinds of chick
en.
It so happened after years of these
chicken dinners, the old pastor went
fishing one day. He lost his balance
and dropped his false teenth in
creek. The clay-colored water quickly
covered them and they were lost to
his sight.
Studying the situation a moment,
the preacher reached into his lunch
box, took out a chicken bone and tied
it to his fishing line.
As the bone dropped below the
water level, the false teeth jumped
from the creek bottom and clamped
firmly on it. The preacher then tauled
them out with ease.

ICE ROOM
An Englishman touring Canada was
staying in a wayside hotel. One night
it was very cold and the Englishman,
feeling it pretty badly, came down
stairs early next morning to get
warm.
At the same time a trapper, who
had been out looking for his traps,
came in at the door. Icicles were hang
ing from his mustache and with a
pitying expression, the Englishman
looked at him, and exclaimed:
"By jove, old man, what room did
you sleep in?"

Americans are proud of their ar

Cod houses across the land reveal
American ingenuity in producing in
dividualistic evolutions of Old World

tall chimneys, takes particular pride
in the Langley-Boardman house
erected in 1805. Note the gracefully
rounded Ionic portico and Palladian

In Armed Services
Cleveland, O. (ILNS).—Warning
of the American Federation of Labor
nearly two years ago that vital war
production would suffer if too many
skilled workers were taken by the
armed forces was recalled here by
union members when the National
Tool Co., announced it had offered to
guarantee a 25 percent jump in pro
duction if military authorities would
trade 50 skilled employes in uniform
for 50 other men from its shops.
The company is engaged in produc
tion of great importance to the mili
tary services.
"I have prepared a list of 50 key
men from our plant who were drafted
and inducted," said Samuel J. Korn
hauser, president, "and have submit
ted it to the heads of the War and
Navy Departments, Selective Service
and the War Production Board, with
the statement that if these men were
returned to their former duties in our
plant, we could increase our produc
tion by 25 percent."
