A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
Is Recommended by State Board
of Health.

In making your plans for the
Fourth of July, have flag raisings,
speeches, parades, pageants, band
concerts and picnics; omit the toy pis-
toll and anything else that gets its
kick out of blank cartridges or out of
equally dangerous explosives and you
will have a worthwhile independence
Day. At the same time you will help
to cut down the annual crop of Fourth
Of July accidents, burns and injuries,
especially the injuries that cause lock-
jaw. This is the message that DR..
John S. Fulton, Director of the State
Department of Health asks The Re-
publican to give to the people of this
community.
each season has its own particul-
lar problems for the health officer
who aims to keep bit ahead of the
game" DR.. Fulton said. "Lockjaw
from accidents, from fireworks, espec-
tally from toy pistols or from other
uses of blank cartridges is associated
with the Fourth of July in the mind
Of every health officer. There are
fewer accidents from that cause than
there were before the American Med
ical Association aided by the news
papers all over the country started
the campaign for safety and sanity in
the celebrations of independence
Day. But we are an easy going peo
pie and likely to forget these things
unless we are reminded of them, hence
this warning.
"LockjaW-or tetanus, to give the
disease its scientific name-develops
from injuries or wounds in which
street dirt or other solid matter is
crushed into the wound. The size of
the wound has nothing to do with it's
seriousness. Tetanus may develop
from pin scratch, or puncture by
nail or by splinter of wood. The
agonizing stiffness of the neck and
lower jaw which gives the disease the
name by which it is popularity known,
is caused by the poison generated in
the human system in the life pro-
cesses of the tetanus gernl-which is
found everywhere wherever the soil
has been cultivated. This poison or
toxin, as such poisons are called, can
be counteracted by an anti-toxin,
known in this case as tetanus anti
toxin, provided the anti-toxin is ad-
ministered promptly.
Though lockjaw used to be associ-
ated principally with injuries from
fireworks and firearms, much of the
recent increase is due to the great in
crease in automobile accidents, many
of which produce injuries of the sort
already described in which dirt from
the roads or other solid matter is
crushed into the flesh. The increase in
injuries of this sort and the cores
ponding increase in deaths from lock-
jaw is indicated in the records of the
State Department of Health which
show decrease in the deaths from
diseases such as scarlet fever and
diphtheria and an increase in those
from tetanus.
"Tetanus anti-toxin for the preven-
tive treatment of injuries likely to
produce lockjaw is supplied free of
charge by the State Department of
Health. The larger quantities neces-
sary for the treatment of advanced
cases are furnished at cost"

the right road Why not display at
least the same friendly receptivity
toward intellectuals who make an
honest attempt at contact with the
world labor movement?
The New Playwrights' Theatre is
not Communist theatre. No one has
claimed that. But it is trying to be
some kind Of labor theatre, and that
is more than one can find anywhere
else in America About twelve years
ago the Provincetown Players began
their work with plays reflecting the
morbid, interpretive spirit of the re-
bellious intellectuals. The New Play
wrights are giving plays this season
each of which reflects the mass
spirit; the problems of great groups
of workers. To me, this seems a So
cial fact of the highest Importance
1t is a new age; and even the intel
lectuals are changing.
Satire On Open Shop.
The first play is a satire on COM
pany unionism and the speed-up sys-
tenn; the second is a picture of the
immigrant workers faced by all the
injustice of America; the third is a
picture of the world struggle for oil
and of the Communist international
at grips with the fascists and CAPT
talists; the fourth play takes up the
problem of the Negro farmer trans
planted to northern industries.
What other theatre is even at
tempting to scratch the soil of the So
cial conflicts of machine-age Ameri-
ca? And why does everyone expect
theatre of this kind, in it's first
season, to be anything but crude and
imperfect in it's struggle to find it.
self in what is a thankless pioneer
task?
Why Not Applaud?
Why not encourage every honest
and bold attempt to bring the Ameri-
can intellectuals and workers into a
closer bond? Why not applaud every
attempt to create workers art
from whatever source it comes, how
ever faltering and crude may be its
first steps?
When someone gives me good an
swer to this question l will be ready
to withdraw my objection to the
traces of Communist cultism which
the Workers Party is trying to free
itself from, and which l think l can
detect in Comrade O'Flaherty's re-
view.

I do not accuse Comrade O'Flaherty
of having these feelings in excess;
but / do say that he has been uncon-
sciously influenced in his attitude
toward the play by hangovers of this
very American sentiment. Ever since
/ have been in the revolutionary
movement, I, like everyone else, have
been familiar with this holier-than-
thou attitude.
Honest Playwrights.
1t is a kind of cult snobbism that
is fatal to the growth of any move
ment. A group of young playwrights
try to start a theatre which will re-
fleet the life of the working class in
America. They go about their work
honestly; they are not afraid of con-
facts with the Communist movement;
in fact, they seek an orientation to it.
And the reply they get is that they
are not pure enough. They must be
strictly KOSHER; their plays must be
as detailed and accurate as party
manifestoes; there must be no devia-
tons
More than that, they are treated
more harshly than in the reviews that
are given by The DAILY WORKER
to Zeigfield's Follies or other Broad
way girly-girly shows.
Nothing Need Be Wasted"
At least Broadway is a relief from
the class struggle; it is not attempt
ing, like these silly young "intellec-
tuals," to break into "our" private la
Dor movement.
| really can't understand such an
attitude My feeling would be that
the great international movement of
the Communist Party has room for
all workers, whether by hand or
brain. AS Lenin said, Gin big house,
everything can be used; nothing need
be wasted" But have seen this mar
rowness pursue great many similar
endeavors. | know there was very
strong hostility among many Ameri-
can hardshell Communists against
such a magazine as the New Masses.
There is hostility toward various
attempts now being made to organize
an Art Workers Cooperative, with a
Communist orientation, which Com
rade Adolf Wolff is leading. Why
this hostility? Whom does it profit
Does it strengthen the Communist
movement in America?
Let Us Criticize
No one will say that a mass prole-
tartan membership is not infinitely
more important to the Communist
Party of America than the acquisition
of scattered groups of "intellectuals"
here and there. But anyone who
would turn away with superior words
the potential John Reeds and Henri
Barbusses and Ernest Tollers-and,
yes, let me say 1.-THE contemporary
John Howard Lawsons and John Dos
Passos "intellectuals"-is not being
intelligent. That is all that I would
say.
Let US criticize without compromise
the mistakes of such men. Let us
hold them to the path of truth, as we
see it. But let US not act as if they
were enemies, or poachers on our pri-
vate preserves, or silly young fools.
When Communists Lead.
When Communists lead masses of
workers in strike, as at Passaic,
they do not patronize the rank and
file because it is not familiar with all
the theses of Communism. 1t tries
to educate this rank and file; it tries
to lead it gently and realistically on
