Teachers and Pupils Gather For Second Annual Event At
 Sehoolhouse
History a Feature of the Days Pro.
 gram

Beautiful weather marked the sec ond Old Home Day of Quadie school pupils and teachers past and present. The gathering at the Quadic school house numbered nearly a hundred and fifty, and was as enjoyable as the first old home day last year when II was decided to hold a second one. The morning was passed in visiting and rc- miniscencing. and at noon a basket luncheon was served. Mrs. Cora Clem- ems. teacher of the school, was the general supervisor of the affair. The refreshments were in charge of Mrs. \. T. Davis and Mrs. Ira Munyan. Mrs. Hazel NJ. Davis was head wait ress. Decorating and seating was taken care of by Ira T. Munyan. A. T. Davis and Mir. Bell. The commit tee on parking was composed of Elmer Russ. Robert Tetft, Graham Bell and Henry Davis.
 Following the luncheon Newton A. Ballard took charge as chairman and appointed Emma Pray and Pauline Bell collectors, advising those present to make their donations small. as inc expense was only nominal on account of the generosity of members. The secretary read a report of the last gathering. The names of the thirty seven living teachers of the school were called and those at the reunion made 1t known. Former pupils of the teachers present were also called opon to make 1t known.
 Supt. kimball
 The program WAS opened with q talk by Superintendent kimhall of the Thompson schools.
 Superintendent kimball stated that when MT. Ballard invited him Co at tend the gathering he had told him of the previous one last year: of the roll call Of old teachers; of the paper to be read by Oscar Munyan; and of the bountiful picnic lunch to be served, and had filled him with enthusiasm, but had he then been informed that he would be called upon 10 speak, his en- thusiasm would have cooled consid- erahly. However. Mir. kimball stated he believed he had caught the spirit of the day; that all were gathered to- Rether for old aequaintance's sake He realized how experiences long forgot ten came croWding back Co mind and believed that such gatherings did much Go help us on our way. To ali. he believed. there was something strange and appealing in youth. We remember how we started forward with a vision It seemed especially fitting to him that such a gathering should be called at the old sehoolhouse. that saeh a gathering must tend to renew the old visions and the old courage Mn kimball closed his talk hy urging all present to hc school boy and school eIrl again for the day there on the old school grounds, and fo let youth be born again in the homeland of memory.
 Great Changes
 James W Converse former teach CT. was asked to tell q short story First he expressed his pleasure to be able to be present with them once more and to mingle with those who were there last year. He could not but realize the great change as he looked around and thought of SO many that

women, the United States department
of labor used as a basis four cities
representative of the different indus
trial sections of the country. The con-
ditions and averages they found. can
be taken as representative of the con-
ditions Of the FIVE million older women
who are in industry. They found in
the cities studied a total of 10000
wage-earning women. OF these over
$50 were married. Only 90 of those
who were married and working were
childless. $3.50 had children to care
for. Moreover 4O9s of the working
mothers had babies five years of age
or under.

LIVERY day thru factory gates and
II workshop doors, millions of work
ing women are crowding, hurrying to
take their places in the industrial ma
chine. Over eight and half million
women in the United States are to-
day toiling in the factories and shops,
in the fields and on the farms for
low wages doled out to them by their
bosses.
And it is still believed by many that
these working women represent con-
stantly changing and temporary force
in industry; that this eight and half
million, for the most part includes
young girls who work for that short
time that elapses between the time
they leave school and the time they
get married.
But study of the figures of the con-
ditions OF the working women in this
country will reveal that nothing could
be farther from the truth.

issues and to help develop these issues
into class issues. For the street
nuclei, as well, the Daily Worker is
an educator and leader.
What Must the Party Do for the
Daily Worker?
TT is automatic that the Party life
4 and growth are to a great extent
tied up with the life and growth of
the Daily Worker. But what must
the Party do to make the existence of
the Daily Worker possible?
In the United States, we have the
greatest need for fighting working
class daily to counterfeit the influence
of the most powerful bourgeois press
in the world. 1t is in this condition
that we also find the reason for our
having such great difficulties in main
tanning our Communist English daily.
The financial and organzational diff
ficulties are so vast that they appear
to the skeptic and the weakened as
insuTmountable
Yet the Party can overcome these
dificulties. The Party can do almost
everything. If it has the spirit, the
determination and the correct policy
for achievements. Our membership
has already shown that we have
enough spirit, revolutionary determi-
nation. and communist outlook to put
over an English daily and to keep it
going two years under the most try
ing circumstances. The question be-
fore us is: Can our membership now
rally to take those steps which will
give a firm, an unshakable, granite
foundation for the Daily Worker? The
answer to this question, hinges around
the answer to the question of how
big an army of Daily Worker sub
scribers we can build.
Let's put the case concretely. What
can be done by our Party to give us
an army of fifty thousand bona fide
regular subscribers to the Daily Work
err? We answer:
L. Every Party member must be a
subscriber to the Daily Worker. This
must not be an empty wish nor a
pious hope No Party member can
be in good standing unless he is a
Daily Worker subscriber. No matter
what other Party organs he may read
or subscribe to, no Party member is
doing his full duty to the Party unless
he subscribes to the central unifying
Party organ.
2. Every Party member must get
at least one new subscriber for the
Daily Worker This is a minimum
task which no one in our ranks should
shirk OF turn down.

ME are finishing the reorganization
w of our Party. We are now wind
ing up our campaign to build our Party
Organization on a Bolshevik basis.
This is most important period in our
Party life.
No Communist in our midst will
Y challenge the fact that it was abso-
lutely necessary for US to reorganize
the Party on the basis of shop and
street nuclei. In our reorganization
of the Party we have not only set up
Party apparatus enabling US more
effectively to cope with the tasks of
winning the leadership of the work
ing class, but we have also struck
staggering blows at the very taproots
of Party strife,
If anybody has ever doubted the
I absolute necessity of the Party's hav-
ing the Daily Worker serve as an eff
fective guarantor of its existence. his
doubts have certainly been dispelled
by the role played by the Daily Work
er in the reorganization campaign.
The Daily Worker and Reorganization
T ETS ennmerate briefly the serv-
IL ices rendered by the Daily Worker
in helping the Party reorganize it
self.
1. The Daily Worker has rendered
considerable service beside the tech
nical one of giving information as to
arrangements, meetings, instructions,
and conferences involving the exc
cution- of our reorganization plans.
2. In order to succeed in our reor-
ganization campaign it is absolutely
necessary to have strong theological
campaign in advance,-to deal sledge-
hammer blows to the apathy and OPP
position here and there manifesting
itslef in our ranks to reorganization.
Only a Communist daily could fulfill
this task. If it were not for the Daily
Workers contribution to the success
of our theological campaign, the Party
could never have proceeded as vigor-
ously as it did in. actual reorganiza-
ftion. The most hopeless pessimist in
tour ranks cannot paint dark enough
picture of the condition which our
Party would have found itself today
if we had not moved forward with the
speed and energy with which we did
in the reorganization campaign.
3. One of the essential pre-requi-
sites to the success of reorganization
is to create a condition whereby the
actual field experiences, the actual
day-by-day experiences and progress
of reorganization are brought home
to all comrades. This task was full
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-09

filled by the Daily Worker admirably.
The Daily Worker-Party Organizer.
XTE are now pretty well on the road
W towards completing the reorgani-
zation. Our main remaining reorgan-
ization task at this moment is to re-
organize the isolated branches. Our
next drive must be to make these new
ly. organized units-the shop and street
nuclei-iving, well-functioning units
/. The Organization Department
may work out the best plans for pro-
noting activity among these units
The Party may have the best organ
izers In the field. Yet, unless we have
a constant medium of effective con-
tact with the entire membership of
these units, we are lost. The Daily
Worker IS the best medium for this
purpose. We have no other means
today at our disposal which enable
the party center to coordinate and
direct all party activities, all party
life.
2. There is tremendous value for
our membership in being able 10 TARA
to the Daily Worker for articles, Civ
ing the general instructions and lay
ing down the policy for developing
the Party organization. The record
of the progress, the experiences, the
trials and the successes of the shop
and street nuclei, must be an open
book which will inspire our Party to
drive further in the task of becoming
the leader Of the workers. This sort
of news is the greatest invigorator of
our new Party units. In this fashion
the Daily Worker promotes the con
fidence Of the party membership in
itself and increase the initiative of
our rank andSfile in the Party work
The activities OF one shop nucleus
prove to other shop nuclei that pro-
gress is actually being made. This
enchances the initiative and desire to
work in the ranks Of increasing num-
bers Of our Party.
8. Thru the development of sys-
TEN of effective Daily Worker cor
respondents, our Daily is welding a
vital link in the chain of our grow
ing, eficents Party appafathss The
creation of such an apparatus Is an
indispensable prerequisite for our
being able to win the masses to com
munism Every Communist Daily
Worker correspondent is veritable
party dynamo in the centers where
the proletarian masses are congre-
gated.
4. Above all, the Daily Worker
serves to poEticalize the Party units.
1t serves to broaden the concept of
our shop nuclei members from cen
tering their viewpoint on mere shop

the non-Communist proletarian mas
ses. Therefore, the distribution of
the Daily Worker must, under no cir
cumstances, be regarded as mental
work. The distribution of the Daily
Worker is one of the basis, one of
our fundamental Party tasks. The
literature agent is not one Of the sec
ondary officers but is one of the main
Party functionaries, upon whose sue
cess depends the progress Of many
of our efforts. In every trade union
the Party members have a field for
pushing and putting over the Daily
Worker.
4. The distribution of Party litera-
ture, particularly the distribution of
the Daily Worker, should be a per-
manent feature of the regular order
of business of all Party unit meetings.
5. The Daily Worker is the official
organ of every member of our Party.
Every member of our Party should
write to it, should write for it. Every
Party member should tell the Daily
Worker his or her shop experiences,
his or her strike experiences. This is
one of the best means to make the
Daily Worker living paper, a paper
breathing the fighting spirit of the
class struggle. Every Party member
can do a great deal to make the Daily
Worker a. genuine lightning-rod
amongst the non-Communist prole-
tarians.
Let's Move Forward.
THE last two years-rather the first
L two years-have been years of up
hill struggle for the mere existence
of the Daily Worker. 1t is now our
duty to devote our energies for the
development and the improvement Of
our Daily ighter,-The Daily Worker,
-as an invincible champion of the
working class interests.
The first guarantee for our being
able to concentrate all our efforts on
improving the Daily Worker is the
insurance of the existence of the Dali
ly Worker. The first guarantee for
the eistence of the Daily Worker,
for its continuity, is substantial, a
permanent. loyal army of spbscrib-
ers.
To build such an army for the
Daily Worker-that's the outstanding
task we now face. The realization of
this task is of paramount significance
for the future of our Party.
On the eve of the third year of the
Daily Worker, the Party can be proud
of its having measured up in the past
to much more difficult tasks. We GER
tainly will measure up to this task.
This immediate party goal will be
reached with many laps to spare.

TOMATOES ARE A GOOD
WINTER HEALTH FOOD

Because tomatoes are goo6 health
food for use in the winter months, in
these days when the tomato harvest
is at it's height foresighted house
wives are canning tomatoes.
Canned tomatoes contain the same
vitamins that are found in oranges.
Provided they are canned the right
way the vitamins are not destroyed
in the process, and eaten in the win
ter they help to maintain health.
Inez Hobart, extension specialist
in nutrition, department of agricu1-
ture, University of Minnesota, gives
this recipe for canning whole toma-
toes:
Select firm ripe tomatoes of uni

minutes or until skins loosen; cold
dip. Remove stems, cores and skin

patent medicine advertisement, but
list of some of the danger signals
of tuberculosis sent out by the Min
