Eagles Pension Drive
'The Fraternal Order Of Eagles Is
conducting a campaign in Indiana to
organize an old-age pension club in
every community where they have an
aerie. Already more than 70 of these
clubs have been formed, and candi-
dates for the legislature are awaken
ing to the fact that they will have the
voting strength of these clubs to con
tend with in the coming primary and
election. Already politicians and can.
didates are expressing sympathy with
the movement, but what We want is
their pledge to support an old-age pen
sion law at the 1928 session of the
Legislature.
THE plan of the Eagles is to have
each aerie appoint committee of five
whose duty shall be to organize a club
in their community. These five can
add the names of as many men and
women to their committee as they
choose, and canvass the community
for members of the club, having them
sign pledge to support an old-age
pension law; then appoint a commit
tee to visit all legislative candidates,
and in the name of the club demand

clader Mrs. Estelle Hewson. who re-
turned Wednesday morning from serv-

during the next winter will not be as

near the Polish border, feeding and

Our territory near Minsk covered
five districts, in which we distributed
relief for the Quakers. and for the

which had asked the American
Friends service committee to act as

up to February, $4,000 refugees
had passed through Minsk. and of that
number, about 200 were detained in
Minsk for sickness, or because they
lacked the papers to take them

ADVOCATES TEACHING
CHILDREN BY RADIO

CINCINNATI, April 26.-One of the
most novel suggestions for the use of
the radiophone is advanced by James
G. Fisk, a member of the Cincinnati
board of education. Mr.. Fisk says
that he would substitute the radio
phone for teachers. He also declares
that he is in earnest about his plan
and has requested details from an
electrical engineer.
Fisk says further that under his plan
each of the $4,000 school children in
this city would be furnished with a
receiving set and that the lessons
would be broadcasted at certain hours
of the day from a central station. The
children, he said, would go to the
school buildings but once a week for
further instruction. He declares the
plan would entail saving of hun
dreds of thousands a year to tax
PAYERS.
