Preparations Complete For 2lst. Annual
Conference Of The \. A. A. c. P.
New Miniature Course
For the Vest Enl

The beautiful Miniature Golf
Course known as the West End
Golf Course, located at 1929 W.
Cary Street, is one of the greatest
outdoor attractions that the Color
ed people of the city of Richmond
have had for some time. The ideal
location as we'll as it's easy access
sibility adds to its conduciveness.
Besides being on smooth-paved
Street, it is within one square of
the Main Street Car, and the
Church Hill-Byrd Park Bus line is
only two blocks away. The brill
liant light, equal to any that may
be found elsewhere in the city, is a
feature which adds splendor. A
competent instructor is on hand at
all times to render assistance to
those who do not know the game.

New York City-(CNS)- No colored
religious leader appears among the
list announced as the personnel of
the Commission on Crime Prevention
Thru Moral and Religious Education
whic h will suplant the work of the
two commissions on crime prevention
appointed by President Hoover. So far
1T could not be determined if any col
ored leader has been asked to join or
cooperate with the Commission which
held its initial meeting at the head
quarters of the Playground and Recrea-
tlon Association of America here, last
week.
The main objective of the organiza-
ton, according to DR.. j. C. White, the
general secretary of the Church League
which is fostering the organization, is
to extend moral and religious educa-
ton though every possible agency to
all neglected youth in America now
growing up without such training"
Since neither of the Hoover commits

Their on law observance andonforce-

side of crime prevention, there is a
great need for such an organization,

WE ARE MERCHANTS

We. who are members of the vast
and growing army of organized labor,
are. in a sense, dealers in the world
trade. We sell our hours of labor, ex-
acting in exchange a fair remunera-
tion and a right to better living con-
ditions. We do not restrict our en-
ployer in his effort to dispose of the
results of our toll at a price fixed to
admit of profit to him, yet we do
expect as our share of the partnership
in which we furnish the main essen
tial reasonable recompense. Still
our main stock in trade is of even
more importance-not only to our
selves, but to our employer as we'll
and we thus become merchants with
something to sell. We have for sale
an article that requires no demonstra-
tion, no recommendations, no high
powered salesmanship.
1t is an invaluable adjunct, credit
both the dealer and to the consumer.
1t is priceless, yet costs nothing.
1t is silent, yet speaks volumes in
all tongues.
1t is small, yet covers the civilized
world.
1t is comparatively young, yet is as
old as time.
1t is inanimate, yet as active as ar
electric atom.
1t is the Union Label.

THE BIGGEST THING OF ALL

After visiting various lands, OBJ
serving living conditions and talking
with many ordinary folks, the thought
uppermost in my mind is that steady
employment at reasonably good wages
is THE BIGGEST THING OF ALL.
1t is unemployment that causes revo-
lutions, it is unemployment that
breeds crime. 1t is unemployment
that brings poverty. 1t is unemploy-
ment that ruins family life. The
dread of unemployment haunts un-
told millions of workers throughout
the world.
In war-wrecked Europe govern
ments have been compelled to go to
drastic lengths to cope with unem-
ployment. Mussolini, for example, has
issued iron-clad orders to industry to
do this, and that and the next thing,
and to refrain from doing the other
thing, concerning the taking on and
laying off of workers. Britain is still
paving out "doles" to the workers,
and there, also, some measure of
pressure has been brought to bear
upon certain industries to take care
of their workers. Unemployment has
been accepted as governmental
problem in Europe.
Thus far American industry has
been allowed to engage and discharge
workers at will. But will this liberty
be permitted indefinitely if industry
does not develop in future greater
sense of responsibility than hereto
fore? Unless industry bestirs itself
to coordinate it's functioning so as tc
grapple painstakingly and conscieu-
tiously with the unemployed evil, il
is foregone conclusion that govern
ment action by and by will be insti.
tuted. The necessity for this should
be avoided if humanity possible. Sure
ly industry is better qualified to han
die its esponsibilities than are poll
ticians Indifference and inaction
however, will not suffice.-B. c

OLD AGE PENSIONS

A group of kindly people in Ohio
is now engaged in an effort to have
the state take care of our old people
decently. Such human effort ought
to be encouraged We boast a good
deal of our wealth and intelligence
and Ohio is supposed to be both rich
and intelligent-but we do not hold
our heads so high when we face the
fact that most of our old people over
sixty-five are dependent on relatives,
or take room at the county farm.
The proposed plan is to pension every
dependent over sixty-fve to the ex-
tent of one dollar a day. Certainly
a state with a heart cannot do less
than this and maintain its self
respect.
There is a screw loose somewhere
in our economic and political sys-
TEN, when in highly developed state
like Ohio so many fine old people
come to the sunset years without
enough to live on without worry. We
have made some progress in our polit.
ical democracy since the days Of the
French king who, beating his manly
breast. said: 'I am the state" He
probably changed his mind when his
head was about to roll off into bas-
ket. But in the matter of the distri-
button of wealth, we are not far ahead
of the days of the old land baron,
who owned not only all the land but
the serfs as we'll. In sense, the mod
ern industrial worker is about as
helpless.
At this moment in America, when
we boast Of being the richest nation
in history, probably 80 per cent OF
our families live on less than $1,000
a year. 1t is quite agreed that g
family cannot live decently on less
than $1,000. This means that most
families barely get on.
Here are some authentic figures
that Americans would do we'll to pom.

modern industrial system, where

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
 APPEARS IN REMINGTON

(Special to the Herald)


 Newington, Oct. 17-Marie Back us, three-year- daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fred Backus of Ellsworth street, is resting comfortably in the Hartford Isolation hospital, where she is confined with infantile paralysis. The child was apparent ly in good health up until yester- day. when it was discovered that she had paralysis. Her removal to the isolation hospital followed promptly.
 Residents of the town expressed the belief that poor drinking water caused by the drought may have caused the child's illness although this is a theory not held by health officials in other communities where the disease has made it's appearance. The Backus girl is an only child.
 Although no other cases of in fantile paralysis have been found tn the town there is said to be an epidemic of whooping cough in the first grade at the Center school where several cases of this disease have been reported.

 Dr. Martin testified that he has been practicing dental surgery in New Britain for 20 years and has been acquainted with Mrs. Larson for Is or IS years. On the day in question she was in his chair under treatment for growth of tissue over a wisdom tooth which was breaking through the gum and he was using the acid to remove the excess tissue.
