THE COMMUNITY THEATRE

The community theatre which made
great hit at the Butler county fair
the past two years, has received wide
publicity in a full page article in
Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent
issued last week. Accompanying the
article are cuts of old music hall on
the fair grounds which was turned
over for community theatre purposes.
The cut of the interior of the build
ing shows the stage, piano and benches
used for seating, while another shows
the outside of the building plastered
with signs advertising the show.
There is also cut of Joseph FIGHTER,
instructor of public speaking and
dramatics at the local high school,
who has done so much for the success
of the community plays. The article
was written by Emerson Robinson,
of this city. Some time back Mr.
Robinson wrote an article, published

women for the affection they feel for
their mothers. Last Sunday was
Mothers Day. 1t was universally OBJ
served by all the people, by special
services in the churches and by wear
ing flowers, that beautiful and touch
ing tribute to the best of all-Mother.

cessity of organization.
| 1t is not contended or advocated
that it would be desirable for union

hold it up to the view of passengers

that is to be more commended thar
keeping your union in your pocket anc
never saying anything about it to any.
one.
People belonging to fraternal organ
iZations are boosters for them. They
talk about them continuously They
emphasize their good points at every
opportunity.
What transpires in the meeting of
union is the business of the mem
bers. 1t is not to be hawked about
the streets and shouted in public
places. There is nothing to be gained
by this.
But there are to be great many
things gained by members of organ
lied labor whenever the opportunity
| affords by impressing on those they
| meet the things in general organized
labor has accomplished for the work
ers.
1t is just as easy to tell about the
benefits of unionism as to hold forth
on the pleasantness or disagreeable-
ness of the weather.
Get your union out of your pocket.
Think about and talk about it. And
you will find that the seeds of con-
versation you sow in many instances
will result in bringing into the fold
of organization those with whom you
have conversed.
Every person brought into the union
is assisting you to better wages and
conditions. Every person remaining
unaffiliated is helping the employer
to lower wages and make conditions
more irksome.
Get your union out of your pocket
and pant the seeds of organization in
the minds of the workers you meet
going to and from work, on the job
or wherever you come in contact with
| them.
You will find time invested in this
way bringing you dividends both
pleasing and beneficial.
What a harvest there will be if the
thousands of unionists in Hamilton
will get their unions out of their pock-
cts and tell the other fellow about it.
Your union won't grow in your
pocket.

KNOCKING THE POLICE

We hear much knocking of the
police department by few people.
Yet just recently Reverend John B.
Cavitt, of the Good Government
League, spoke words of praise for the
department and intimated that many
of the knockers really didn't know
where of they speak and that the de-
partment didn't receive credit for
which it is ofttimes entitled
J. d. Brees, state examiner, and his
assistant, H. w. Frillman, who have
put in six months examining the books
of the city's various departments, and
who know pretty we'll what they are
talking about and who, as rule, play
no favorites nor show partiality, say
in their report:
"While there is much criticism di-
rected at the police department we
believe that if those who criticise
would take time to investigate they
would find less to criticise and much
to commend"
SO there you are Reverend Cavitt,
of the Good Government League, and
the state examiners, men who have
had occasion to come in close contact
with the police department and know
a little something of its workings,
praise it and say there is much to
commend, while many who don't
know a bit what they are talking
about in this instance, WELD the ham
mer with sturdy arm.
Take your choice.

WHY STRANGLE YOUR UNION?

Many well-intentioned unionists
keep their union in their pocket.
That is they feel that so long as
the dues book in their pocket regis
ters the fact that their dues are paid,
and they are in good standing every
thing is we'll in the world of organ
lied labor.
That it is better to have a paid-up
union card in your pocket than not
to have any is beyond question But
it remains true that your union will
not grow in your pocket.

to you on the street car going to work
or coming home may never learn from

That's a pretty good stunt of Ser
vice Director Mason, having the
meter readers check up the number
of people living at each place they
visit and thus getting pretty accur-
ate account of the number of people
living in Hamilton. If those doing
the checking will get real interested
in the matter they ought to be able
to give US as accurate account as we
could get from federal census. Evil

Trenton.-Co-operation in sowing
New Jerseys road problems was the
KEYNOTE of a dinner meeting of the
State Highway Commission and the
New Jersey Association of County
Engineers at the Stacy-Trent. The
engineers were the guests OF the com
mission and the dinner was followed
by an informal discussion of road ques-
tons, the underlying purpose of which
was to bring about a closer under
standing between the commission n
the engineers.
General Hugh L. Scott, chairman OF
the commission, was the POSTMASTER,
and every engineer present was called
upon for an expression of views. Gen
eral Scott stated that there seemed to
have been a misunderstanding as to
the attitude of the commission toward
patent paving. This was due to lack
of c~learness in the first announcement
made of the commissions policy, which
was subsequently corrected, although
the correction apparently had not
reached all the engineers. he said.
1.-THE commission is not opposed"
said General Scott, tto the use of pat
ented materials. 1.-THE only question
is to get proper open competition. The
desire of the commission is to use the
material which is necessary and use
full for the purpose at the lowest pos
sible cost and to save as much money
for the state and the counties as we
can
