Zone watcher for the Workers
(Communist) Party must stay in
side the guard rail from before
voting begins until after the bal
lots are counted, where paper bal
lots are used, and where a voting
machine is used, until the numbers
revealed on the machine are copied
onto the report. Watchers must see
that no change is made, but that the
number on the machine is the" same
one copied on the report.
"In cases where the number
showing the vote for candidate
does not read 1000 before voting
begins, the number that is shown
must be subtracted from the total

Communist watchers must see
that no one enters the voting
booth or machine other than the
voter himself. A blind man only
may ask that some one go in with
him to help him to vote. The in
spector of elections will have two
of the election officers, not of the
same political party, help him.
"Red Guards on election duty

count has been made, are delivered

THE TRUSTING PLACE

A little path went creeping
Into a shadOwed wood,
1 asked if 1 might follow it,
1t answered, IF you should
You'll find it not so easy
There are vines that hide the way,
Tall trees that lean together
And whisper things, they say.
"Flowers there are that beckon you
Another way to take,
Squirrels that scold you roundly-
Perhaps there is snake!"
But 1 was not affrighted;
1 begged, "Pray let me try"
And so into the gloom we went
That tiny path and I.
1 found the warnings all too true,
Twas hard the way to find,
Through tangles deep, this way and
that,
The little path did wind!
1 know it tried to lose me
The birds all scolded So
The chipmunks chartered loud and
fierce
And tried to make me so.
They seemed to tell ME plainly that
1t was no place for me;
But I-well, 1 was curious
And stubborn as could be!
trailed the wandering pathway
To bower of leafy lace
Twas then found the secret out
A lovers trysting place!

FAR.REACHING GAS DECISION

A decision by the U. S. District
Court of New York promises to be
far-reaching in its effect on the SER
vice of gas throughout the United
States.
The cost of piping gas to a con-
sumer is the same whether the con-
sumner uses a small amount or the
maximum amount of gas that pipe
will carry.
For this reason the practice has
become general to charge each GUS
toner a service charge, covering
cost of bringing gas to him, and
then charging the large consumer a
slightly lower rate per thousand Gu
bic feet than is charged the very
small consumer.
The New York Legislature passed
a law prohibiting the imposition of
a service charge by gas companies,
but the United States District Court
has held that a company has the
right and the power to determine
reasonable forms of rates in the alb
sence of discriminatory or excessive
rates.
The court also held that a rate
structure which fails to include the
element of a service charge is un-
reasonable for customers using gas
in regular and substantial quanti-
ties, and "fat" or straight meter
rate is for that reason condemned.
Furthermore, it was decided that a
statute prohibiting a service charge
or preventing a form of rate based
on a service charge, is arbitrary,
conHscatory, and in violation Of the
constitutional rights of customers,
and>the gas company.

OUR NEW FRONTIER

In the past history of Our Country
there were several frontiers or i'm
aginary lines that marked a division
in the geography Of the nation.
For a century the plainly under
stood meaning of frontier was a
movable line of settlement by popu-
lation extending westward from the
Atlantic Ocean.
The new frontier today is a great
line Of industrial advance, moving
steadily from the Northeast to the
South and West, finally to drop into
the Gulf Of Mexico and the Pacific.
The advance will not stop until in
dustry and population shall have
spread uniformly from the Atlantic
to the Pacific.

POWER OF THE PRESS

"The power of the press" has been
an educational fact for more years
than the average man cares to Jug
gle in his statistical sojourns.
Many of us use the expression au-
tomatically without considering the
deep educational value of publica-
tions of the day.
It is interesting to step into a
bureau where daily papers, weekly
and monthly periodicals, news,
trade and fiction journals are on
file, and to observe how many of
them have to do with specialized
subjects of either spot or feature
news value; but more than that of
definite educational value.
On the writer's desk are. a pile of
magazines and papers at this writ
ing. One of them is an advertisers
magazine in which various selling
and merchandising problems are
discussed by experts of wide exper-
ience. These articles go deeper
than being just news. They probe
problems both from the theoretical
and practical points Of view, yet
they are news.
Another periodical discusses the
short story writer's problems, mar
kets and constantly changing
techniques.
Still another discusses the steno-
grapher's world, while the one be-
low in the pile has to do with
weaver's problems. Weavers are a
big class interested in many types
of textiles, and just as The steno-
grapher's paper goes at problems
confronting typists in law offices,
doctors, merchandise, newspaper
offices and so on, so does the weav-
ers paper divide it's attention be-
tween the needs of artisans and ar
fists in a wide variety of mills. New
problems are, of course, particular
ly appealing because they have both
news and educational value. Says
one fibre and fabric journal, for in
stance:
"The weaving of the newest of
the worlds textiles, rayon, is just
beginning to be comprehended by
ICAGllC lebOlOl OOll y4dlnI 10 lctll
ly general that this is a hard textile
to handle. Actually it is the cas-
lest of all yarns to work. In. .weav-
ing, knitting or braiding, two main
considerations are involved-the
avoidance of pulling, and the avoid
ance of unnecessary rubbing. If it
is known how this textile acts
under pulling and tension, then the
yarn becomes a pleasant servant
with fewer tricks than almost any
other thread"
The article then goes. on in a
newsy, comprehensive fashion to
discuss such things as tension,
elasticity, pirn- winding, affects of
friction and so on.
Next in the pile is a national ed
ucators publication, and after that
a huge collection of papers and
magazines designed for housewives
and their multifarious problems.
Then comes one for which design
ers are the audience Later on,
newspaper for hotel employees, one
of large collection of, publications
known as "house organs"
Last, but perhaps first in point
of public education are the daily
describing, discussing,
picturing the events, problems,
joy and sorrows of a ma
a world! Sometimes the
scene changes even to other worlds,
and we find an article on the pos
sibilities of life on Mars.
Yes "The power of the press" is a
fact; but perhaps we ought to say
''the powers"
