Powell Center Woodwork
Class Hums With Indus
try of Youth.
Mother's going to receive a Christ
mas present from her son this year
made by his own hands—and what's
more, it’s going to be within his budget,
because it didn’t cost him a cent
besides his boys’ club dues, 20 cents a
semester.
Every Friday night, the Boys’ Club
of Powell Community Center meets
In the wood shop of Powell Junior
High School to do wood work under
the supervision of John H. Williams,
who handles the regular daytime wood
work of the school.
From 20 to 30 boys, faces intent on
their work, ply hammer, chisel, saw
and lathe to turn out stools, lamps,
book ends, magazine racks, candle
sticks and other things, simple to make
but effective.
Little Experience at Start.
"Most of these boys never had a tool
in their hands before they joined the
class.” Williams explained when asked
whether they had received previous
training. “Of course, some of them at
tend the school woodwork classes.”
Lately the youngsters have been
playing Santa Claus, making their own
Christmas presents.
Charles O'Connell is making a stand
for his mother so she can place her
magazines on it, right by her chair.
He couldn't afford to buy her one at a
Store. John Lacovaro is making a
lamp with a base shaped like a pump.
By pulling the pump handle, the light
Is turned on. Wallace Riley and
Walter Johnson are making combina
tion book and flower stands.
Eddie Crandall's mother needs a
new bedside lamp, and Eddie has one
almost ready to stand under the tree
Friday morning.
Father Almost Forgotten.
Carroll Jenkins has made two 20
lnch sailing boats. “Mother can’t use
sailboats, so I guess I’ll keep those for
myself,” he said.
Hard-working father didn't seem to
enter into the calculations of many
of the boys. Almost invariably the
question, "Who’s going to get that
present?,” was answered by, “Mother.”
The answer to. “What’s father going
to get?.” was, “Oh, I guess dad'll use
this, too.”

ROOSEVELT PASTOR
IS NOT A PACIFIST
Her. H. S. Wilkinson Declares He
Doesn't Believe in Peace
at Any Price.
Bt the Associated Press.
Rev. Howard Sargent Wilkinson,
President Roosgvelt's new pastor, who
delivered his 'first sermon at St.
Thomas’ Episcopal Church yesterday,
said today, "You won’t find me speak
ing words of wisdom about matters
that do not concern the church.”
Mr. Roosevelt did not attend the
•ervices.
The new minister, formerly canon of
the Garden City (Long Island) Cathe
dral, said the church may take a stand
on peace, because "fathers of the
church have died combating wrong,
and it may be up to us to fight wrong
again.”
“I am not a pacifist,” he added. "I
do not believe in peace at any price.
War may be all that Sherman said it
was—but there may be something
worse than war.”

MEDIATION BOARD
REHEARING ORDERED
Arbitrary Action Charged in Caie
Involving Norfolk A West
ern Employes.
Holding that the National Mediation
Board had been guilty of arbitrary ac
tion, the United Statea Court of Ap
peals today ordered it to hold a new
hearing to decide what employes are
qualified to vote for collective bargain
ing representatives of conductors of
the Norfolk * Western Railway Co.
District Court had decided the case in
favor of the mediation board.
Before an election In 1935 to de
termine whether the Order of Railway
Conductors or the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen should represent
the conductors, the board ruled that
only regular conductors and regular
substitute conductors may vote. The
Order of Railway Conductors was
elected as bargaining representative
and the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen appealed to District Court,
claiming emergency conductors usually
employed u workmen ehould have
been allowed to vote.
. Without determining this question,
the Court of Appeal* said that the
board had not obtained sufficient evi
dence on which to base its decision,
and that a further and more com
plete hearing should be held.
Bridge Beplacei Boulette.
WARSAW VP).—Now that roulette,

gambling places.
