ARE SPORTSMEN
Movements have been started by
veterans organizations in Charles
ton to secure action by Congress to
stop the pollution of streams. They
claim that fish in West Virginia
streams are being killed by refuse
and poison chemicals which are
dumped into the Ohio River and its
tributaries.
They also point out that water
supplies are taken from these rivers,
and that diseases are spread in this
way. Their activities to purify the
streams are prompted by humani-
tartan motives in the interests of
health and the fishing fraternity.
1t would be we'll for veterans of
the Delaware Valley to follow suit
in such action. The Delaware is be-
coming more polluted every year.

Grind and tax you
BY some sneaking, grating plan.
The "tunnycake" is a marine para
site that clings to the bodies of
fish and other sea. life, living at the
expense of the bodies to which it
attaches itself.
In appearance it is like dried-up
potatoe, and it enjoys the advan-
tage of sustenance when the fish on
which it is attached is in search
of food.
A professional politician is a
"tunnycake," of the vilest type. Like
parasite, year by year, he lives
at the expense of others. And he
uses his office to keep in touch with
the petty schemes of graft with
which he feathers his nest.

rhyme" Batter cake, batter cake,

Until he is fiat
Then chuck him in the frying pan
Amid the boiling fat!

The difference between profess
sional politician and public servant
is that the latter gives value for

In hiring public servant you
have the right to demand that he
work for his pay. 1t he grows more
prosperous while the taxpayers be-
come more burdened, then it's time
to fire him. If he has delivered

again.
