DAUGHTER AND SON
KEEP MRS. BUFORD
POSTED ON FRANCE

John T Stafford is in receipt {
a copy OF the MuskOgee COkla
Democrat, in which appears the TO
lowing war news pertaining to fol
ner well known Rock islanders:
Mrs. Mary BufOrd of S02 West
Okmulgee has received the first
letter from her son, Lieutenant
Charles BufOrd, mailed from a
foreign port. However, the let
ter was written on board the
ship the day Lieutenant Buford
was scheduled to land.
In addition to the British mil
itary training and the French
classes conducted by a French
lieutenant each morning while
on board the ship, Lieutenant
Buford conducted classes in
German. He is a second lieu
tenant in the interpreters
corps, having received his COM
mission last January after TAX
ing a course of training at Fort
Sill, Okla He is a fluent lin
QUist in several languages. His
letter is in part as follows:
"Of submarines we saw moth
ing; all around us now are the
little destroyers, working back
and forth just like good hunt
ing dog in the field.
Il thank God every day that
I have been allowed to be one
of our overseas forces"
He also spoke of the British
officers aboard ship and the
highly favorable comments they
made upon the excellent ap-
pearance of the American SOL
diers, their fine carriage and
bearing. Lieutenant Buford is
past 40 years old and enlisted
in the service of the American
government when he felt the
call to serve his country.
Mrs. BufOrd has also some
most interesting letters from
her daughter, Madame Jean Pa
tricot. who lives in France with
her family, having married a
Frenchman when Mrs. BufOrd
took her and her brother to
that country to finish their edu-
cation.

Civic Department of WOman's Club
in Charge-TO Close Before
School Starts.

All four city Fairgrounds have
been opened and are now in charge
of their respective supervisors.
The shortage of equipment, es-
pecially in the East End park and
in the Fifth avenue park, is be-
ing badly felt. 1t is in these loca-
tons that there is most need AMI
where the call for the necessary
apparatus is greatest. Outdoor
games and apparatus that can be
spared by the community is asked
to be donated to the cause.
The civic department of the
the Rock Island Woman's club
has felt it its patriotic duty to care
for these children while their
mothers are working at the Red
Cross rooms and attending to 9TH
er patriotic and home duties.
The Long View playground was
opened yesterday morning and Will
continue to be opened from the
hours of 8 to u O'Clock in the
morning and from 2 to 5 o'clock
in the afternoon. 1t has been de-
cided to have the story hour from
2:30 until $50 o'clock. Other ar
engagements for fancy dancing,
games, Red Cross work, etc, are
being planned.
Women in Charge.
All the recreation grounds will
be supervised and under the care
of the civic department during the
three months of summer and will
probably close just before the
opening of the schools in fall.

life the more we put into it. The man
who is willing to spend and be spent
in the service of God is the one who
of all others gets from life the great
est satisfaction. One of the greatest
things which Christianity does is to
teach men how to be the most valu-
able and useful as children and par
entS, as neighbors and citizens. 1t
teaches mankind how to make the
most of their lives and do the most
with them. In a word is aims to
bring the race to its highest eff
cheney. Christ Jesus found His right
to rule men by His exercise of the
privilege of serving them. That
which appeals to sinful man as a
potent magnet is this love for others
in the life of our Lord. For never
was Jesus more glorious than when
He stopped to lift the palsied, to heal
the sick, to feed the hungry, to re-
store the blind. These, my friends,
are compelling arguments in the life
of our Lord which the world dare not
forget. And whether we be Catholic
or Protestant or unbeliever we should
all so order our lives as to welcome
our final summons. For:
eve live in deeds, not years: in
thoughts, not breaths;
In feeling, not in figures on dial.

Who thinks most, feels the noblest.
acts the best. Bailey.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-01-25

that few more years might be added
to their lives and those who should
engage in the same craft after them.
And while the union, during this
struggle lost some of it's members
who were unable to stand the strain
financially which was demanded of
them yet there were sufficient who
remained loyal to bring the enter
prise to a successful issue. And to-
day it's number is increasing by leaps
and bounds, fewer union bodies having
had a more successful career than the
International Typographical Union.
But its labors were during these years
by no means confined to gaining for
the union mere advantage of wage
and hours of labor. 1t recognized the
worth of trade schools in the better
ment of the craft. After studying
the problem a trade school was in
augurated, which had for years been
carried on by the Inland Printer, the
leading trade journal of the craft.
The course, after revision under the
auspices of the union Representatives
to adapt it to the purposese of labor
organization, was offered to the union
membership. 1t deals with what
might be called the artistic side of the
printing trade-design, composition,
lettering, style and the effective ar
rangement of printed matter. The
course has now become literally
world-famous. The technical teach
ers of many countries have given q
high praise and asked that it be pre-
sented before a body of prominent
educators.
But labor does not organize simply
to spend wisely, through benefits, the
money of its members. And yet this
is work which is of prime import
ance to the wage Garner. The Inter
national Typographical Union has
done this and more. It's old age
pension law has disbursed thousands
of dollars to aged and incapacitated
workmen of the craft who otherwise
would have been compelled to depend
upon the haphazard charity of an
otherwise unfeeling world. 1t has also
worked out through a study of the
problem by competent men NOR
tuary benefit that has more than
demonstrated it's worth to the MEM
bers. Always problem to every
right thinking man is "What will he
come of my loved ones when am
gone ?" The international Typo
graphical Union early sought to Crap
pie with this question to the mutual
benefit of the members and those de-

pendent upon them. And while the
benefit granted by the International
Typographical Union is by no means
sumptuous, yet it is of such a nature
as to give mighty ulift and salts,
faction to all who have in any way
benefited therefrom.
But one of the crowning works
of the International Typographical
Union is the founding of the home,
pictures of which have already been
presented to you. Picture to your
selves the inmates of this home
and it is home in every respect, dis
able from any longer working at their
craft, being again restored to health
and strength, to once again go out to
their work or spending their declin-
ing years surrounded by the comforts
which the funds of their fellow MEM
bers and themselves have made pos
sible. This home of itself has more
than justified the right of the Ameri-
can workman to organize himself into
unions if naught else has. A work
which will do this has in it the ele-
ments of Him who "came to seek and
to save them who were lost"
And now | come to my closing re-
marks. 1t is my preachment Men Of
union labor, do not, l beg of you,
imagine that the church is opposed
to your seeking to better yourselves.
Do not get the impression that even
though there are so-called hypocrits
in the church that all are. Remember
that all the best you have in your
labor organization has been made pos
sible by the efforts of Him who fur
nishes us the basis of our remarks
this evening. The Christian religion
above all others teaches the abnega-
tion of self and the exhaltation of
Christ, the highest type of manhood.
We get the greatest results out of
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-01-25

we have a right to our opinion and
we have no better way of expressing
it or stating our side of any question
than through the labor press.
And if we want to have this priv
ilege, we must put our shoulder to
the wheel and help in the promotion
of this, the most beneficial enter
prise of organized labor.
We should keep in mind the words
of Patrick Henry: 81 have but one
lamp by which my feet are guided
and that is the lamp of experience.
