REMINGTON VOTES
 NEW SCHOOL FUND
Approves of St00,O0 Bond Issue With Assembly's Approval

Newington, Feb. 24.-An appro- priation of not more than $100,000 to cover the cost of erecting Junior high school at the Center was voted at the special town meeting held last night in the Grange hall. As was predicted before the meeting, there was very little opposition to the project although several voters spoke against it.
 The board of selectmen and Town Treasurer Thomas A. Francis were authorized to mak temporary loan in anticipation of permission from the next session of the legislature to issue bonds. Supervisor William H. Mandrey explained that bond issue would be floated as soon as the town could obtain permission. The rate of interest will probably be 1-2 or { 3-4 per cent.
 Tho building will be situated on the property purchased last year by the town on Cedar street. It will provide room for 255 pupils accord ing to MT. Mandry. The first floor will have an assembly hall. two class rooms. an office and a nurses room. The second floor will have four class rooms. and study hall which can be used as a class room should that be necessary. The base- ment will provide space for gym nasium with rooms for manual training and domestic science.
 According to MT. Mandry. 239 pupils. are now transported by the town to school buildings because of congested conditions. This number will be greatly decreased by the new building. It will also make unneces- sary the use of the town hall for school purposes. MT. Mandry esti- mated that there will be 161 pupils ready for entrance into the new school building this fall. He also stated that if the number of chil- dren attending school increases as 1t has in the past, the building will be sufficient for the towns needs for five years.
 Delbert K. Perry, chairman of the town plan commission was present at the meeting and showed plans which he had drawn for the building.
 A building committee was ap- pointed to take care of hiring the contractor. engaging the architect and letting the bids. This committee Is composed of l.. l.. Harding. John H. Fish. Harold I. Dyer, R. H. Er- win, Charles B. Russell, and Dwight M. Chichester. First Selectman James c. Gilbert and chairman of the school board Herbert l.. Welch are ex-officio members of the com- mittee. A meeting of this body was held immediately after the town meeting and Mir. Harding was elect ed chairman. The committee also appointed D. K. Perry as architect.
 It is estimated that with the is- stance of 20-year bonds, the tax rate will be increased about 1.3 mills. This estimate was made by the school board and Mir. Mandrey ex- plained 1t last night, giving the figures to show how the increase was arrived at.
 The Ladies' Aid society of the Newington Center Congregational church will hold an entertainment and social at the parish house on Wednesday evening February 23, at 8 o'clock. The Center school or chestra will render several selections and a program of miscellaneous recitations and readings has been ar- ranged by Mrs. Nellie Eddy, who is in charge of the affair.

MORE WHISKEY
Used Now Than Ever Before,
Says Glass Workers

Cumberland, Md,-The American
people are drinking more whiskey, de-
clared the American Flint Glass
Workers convention in favoring mod
ification of the Volstead law.
"As an idication of the extent to
which the American people have turn
ed to drinking whiskey, and that the
men identified with the glass trade
may understand it," the resolution
states, "be it known that one glass
company produced 1,152,000 whiskey
glasses in one year; another glass
company produced 1,272,384 whiskey
glasses in 10 months, and third glass
company produced 1852 whiskey
glasses in the same period. We have
scores of other factories whose pro-
duction of whiskey glasses has multi
piled to startling figures"
The resolution quotes figures from
the Mail and Express, well-known To-
ronto newspaper, issue of January 13,
1927, that the shipment of whiskey
from Canada to the United States
amounted to $15,453,000 in 1926
These figures were taken from the
official reports of the Canadian De-
partment of Trade.

NON-PARTISAN POLITICAL
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
Reports Questonnaires Submitted to Candidates For
The Legislature and State Senate
j. Lowrey Miller Former Senator Has Bad Labor Record
and is Declared Enemy of Organized Workers
Fathered State Police Bill in 1926
Should Be Defeated

The Trades Council non-partisan
political campaign committee submits
its report on the QUESTIONABLE SUBJ
mitted candidates for representative
from Butler county in the Legislature
and state senator from this district.
The report is self explanatory. How
ever, just this: it will be noticed that
all candidates for representative to
the legislature are considered fair to
labor, though the committee feels that
those who have been tried and not
found wanting should be given prefer
ence to those untried And which is
good logic.
In its report the committee declares
that w. M. Goodwin, present repre-
snetative, has a record on labor that
stands 100 per cent, not only as a
representative but also as employer of
labor, and that he is member of
the Bill Posters Union. Mr.. Good
win is asking for a second term.
For state senator, of the three re-
publican candidates, only one, Mark
Aston, is declared favorable to la
bor The other two, Fred Edgington
and J. Lowrey Miller, are considered
enemies of labor. Edgington as for
mer member of the legislature al
ways stood against labor. And Mil
ler-well, there needn't be much said
about him. In 1925 he fathered a bill
for state police, and in other ways
conducted himself so as to cause the
committee, in its report, to declare
him San ENEMY OF LABOR and
dangerous person to have as member
of the state legislature.
The report follows:

SUMMER HEALTH
TALKS
REST
Sponsored by the Ohio Public
Health Association

Everybody has known for long
time that all work and no play make
Jack dull boy. Only during more
recent years has medical science be-
gun to emphasize that all work and
no rest make Jack and the other
members of Jacks family sick men
and women, old before their time.
Rest is the greatest medicine in the
world. 1t is the leading factor in the
cure of tuberculosis, colds, and heart
disease. 1t plays prominent part in
the relief of practilaly every other
ailment to which man is heir.
If rest is so valuable in restoring
the broken down human machine, it
seems reasonable that, if given a
chance, it ca ndo much to prevent the
breaking. No labor on the Sabbath
day is good physical as well as reli-
gious advice. A vacation some time
in the year with a change of scene
and activity may mean less weeks in
the year to work, but the chances are
that it will mean more years in the
long run. After all one is long time
dead, and can well spare a few months
from eternity for the enjoyment of
this world.
Current legend has it that Thomas
A. Edison can work and achieve
greatly twenty out of the twenty
four hours in day. But then, Edi-
son can do good many other things
the average citizen cannot do. Most
people need at least eight hours of
sleep every night, at least one day
of rest every week, and at least two
weeks of vacation every year
When more people can learn to
stop occasionally for repairs, therell
be fewer of them spending half their
lives with one foot in the grave and
the other dragging YEARLY along the
ground.

RADIUM PAINT
IS DEADLY

New York.-A group of physicians
and social workers have called on
Surgeon General Cumming, of the
United States health service, to start
a federal investigation of the use of
radium paint.
The United States bureau of labor
statistics reported in May, 1926, that
two firms in this country manufactur-
ing luminous composition for watch
dials in 1925 sold their products to
119 firms. Certain firms are using the
old brush method of applying the
radium paint to watch dials. The
workers contract the deadly poison
when they wet the brushes with their
lips.
The use of this poison sis apparent
ly widespread and increasing" the
Cumming letter stated.

LABOR'S SYMPATHY
Extended Mexico By Presi-
dent Green in Death
of ObregOn

William Green, president of the
Pan American Federation of Labor,
sent the following telegram to Presi-
dent Gales of Mexico, in which he
expressed the sorrow of the working
people affiliated with the Pan-Amer-
lean Federation of Labor for the un-
speakable and unjustifiable assassi-
nation of President-ele Obregon:
"His Excellency, Plutarco Elias Cal
les, President of the Republic of
Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico.
'The trgaic death of President-elect
Obregon has created feelings of deep
regret and profound sorrow among
the working people affiliated with the
Pan-American Federation of Labor.
We cannot understand the mental and
moral characteristics of any person
who would assassinate man so sig
nally honored and universally pro-
claimed by the people of Mexico.
1T was an unspeakable and un-
justifiable crime calling for the swift
and certain punishment which we are
sure will be meted out to the guilty
'In behalf of the officers and mem
bers of the Pan-American Federation
of Labor | extend throught you to the
relatives and friends of President
elect Obregon my sincere sympathy in
their sad bereavement.

defeat Mr.. Miller and succeeded, de-
spite the fact that Miller's whole
campaign was made on the state po-
lice issue. We consider Mr.. Miller
as an ENEMY OF LABOR and a
dangerous person to have as a MEM
ber of the state legislature, and call
upon all labor and their friends to
VOTE AGAINST HIM.
Candidates for the Legislature
Mr.. w. M. Billy Goodwin, demo-
crat, candidate for legislature. Ga
Dor record VERY GOOD.) AS a
member of the last general assembly
Mr.. Goodwin supported labor in all
ways and voted with labor on ALL
bills that labor was interested in.
Mr.. Goodwin is a member of the Bill
Posters Union and an employer of
union labor in his business of The
w. M. Goodwin Poster Advertising
Co. and the Miami Sign Co. We can
recommend Mr.. Goodwin as a friend
of labor.
John Martin, Middletown, demo-
crat, business man. (No labor rec
ord.) Has signed questionnaire as
labor desires. We consider him as be-
ing fair to labor.
Mr.. John F. Heath, Hamilton, at
torpa, OF lovr doroooro+ M loLo,,
record.) Has signed questionnaire as
labor desires. We consider him as
being fair to labor.
Mr.. 0. P. Mccormick, farmer, fair
field township, republican. (No labor
record.) Has signed the questionnaire
as labor desires. We consider him
as fair to labor.
Mr.. Arthur A. Phillips, republican,
Middletown, member of R. r. Tele-
graphers' Union, Division No. 8. (No
labor record) Mr.. Phillips has many
qualifications to recommend him as
a candidate for the general assembly
and would no doubt be of much use
to the labor movement. We recon-
mend Mr.. Phillips as friend of la
Dor and deserving of our support.
The committee has gone through
the records of those candidates who
have held public office, and also en-
deavored to be as non-partisan as
possible in the matter of making such
recommendation as will be found in
this report, having in mind that
where candidate who has held office
and has been friendly to labor, is
deserving of the support in preference
to others who are still to be tried.
The committee trust that the affil-
lated local unions will endeavor to
educate their members to lay aside all
party affiliations, and any other af-
filiations that they may have and to
vote for the friends of labor and re-
ward them for their friendliness, ano
to vote against the enemies and de-
feat them.
