NEW YORK.-About 500 butchers
Of the First Ave. slaughter houses

handing increases in pay and union

they marched on the stage cheer
after cheer rent the air from chil-
dren of the different schools, show
ing the pride taken in those who
become best scholars.
The climax of the festival was
reached with a mass parade across
the stage, with children representing
every phase Of the curriculum Of
the schools. Children carrying
giant pens, pencils, books, globes;
children with geese, and chickens;
children with tennis rackets, oars,
balls, nets representing every kind
of sport; children with animals,
and children dancing. All served to
show the wide nature of Soviet
education. The parade was a most
impressive sight, and as it passed
1 remembered the words of Lenin:
Revolution is not revolution if it
does not show the greatest sohcitude
for children; for they are the fu-
ture, on whose behalf revolutions
are made"
Todays festival demonstrated that
the Soviet Government, and the
working class led by the Communist
Party, have lived UP to Lenins
words. They are preparing a strong
and virile generation, conscious
builders of socialism. AS I left the
festival I could not help thinking
of the great responsibility of the
worlds workers to the Soviet Union

tinue the great work already &C.
