a recent visitor as a professional

the Summer theater idea is not new,
but the barter" is. 1t originated
with Robert Porterfield, while he was
touring the country, during the de-
preston, as a member OF walter

born down in the southwestern part

Hundreds of tourists have enjoyed
the plays at Abingdon during the

get to see much of the theater and
were delighted with the prospect OF

visited. The price of admittance was
the produce which they brought in.

show. These vegetables later ap-
peared on the table of the company
where they lived in an old house
nearby. The usual price Of q ticket

TIME NOW RIPE
To MODERNIZE

"Now is the time" to modern
ize all types of property.
That is the advice given in a
letter from James A. Moffett, thu
Federal Housing Administrator
to John Dean Milligan, housing
editor of The Washington Times
and chairman of the publicity
committee of the Washington
Better Housing campaign:
The letter reads:
"FOr the last few years many
people have neglected normal
improvement and repairs on
their homes.
"Whether it is ones dwelling
or his business home, he takes
pride in ownership of 1t. Many
In the name of economy have
neglected both, with resulting
decrease in values.
Personally, I believe the
American home is a little tired
of trying to enjoy poor health.
"Your committee has plOughed

of interest in fixing.up. Now
you do the next necessary
thing, namely bring together
the manufacturers who can
supply the neCeSsarieS for re-
pair and mOdernizatiOn of

that the property Of the 1,18l bor-

Teachers Ask
School Board
Full Sick Pay

Demands for the return of full
sick pay continue pouring in upon
the Board of Education, which last
Christmas cut the illness refund in
half while the teachers were away
for the holidays. The hardship to
the teachers as well as the danger
to pupils whose teachers come to
school ill because they cannot af-
ford to stay home and suffer the
loss in pay has aroused widespread
resentment, and a determined cam
paign for full sick pay refunds is
in full swing.
Among the latest resolutions is
that of the Tilden Parent Teacher
Association which has also asked
for the appointment of the 500 sub
Stitutes. This like the numerous
resolutions from individual schools
cites the harm done to teachers and
pupils and points out that no other
city employees have been victinized
in this way for the sake of econ
omy." Other organizations which
have gone on record as demanding
full illness refunds are the High
school Teachers Association,
Teachers Union, and the Classroom
Teacher Groups, which have sent Pc
titions to the schools to be filled
out by the teachers and sent to the
Board of Education.

SchOOlBOard
Seeks Reds
In Colleges
Check on Students To
Be Made by School
Heads

The Board Of Examiners Of the
New York City school system has
announced through its chairman,
DR.. G. ]. Smith, that it is planning
to make more searching inquiries
regarding the personal traits of
teacher candidates" in the colleges.
1t is unfortunate, according to DR..
Smiths latest announcement, that
colleges in the past have not kept
an adequate account Of their stu
dents activities in riots and I'M
seemly demonstrations of one kind
or another.
The Board of Education is thus
extending its red hunt. The start
was made last summer when it
helped push through the reaction
airy bill requiring all teachers to
take an oath Of loyalty. Following
this it asked the Beard of Examin-
ers to inquire into the loyalty" of
candidates for licenses who applied
to take the examinations. The
preparation for a loyalty quizz to
be given to college students to
eliminate them even from applying
for teaching examinations as the
next step. Such a quizz is in prepa-
ration.
Protests against this vicious fas-
cist drive to crush all independent
opinion among teachers is being
felt at the Board. In answer to
these, DR.. Smith was forced to an
nounce hypocritically last Friday
that We're not board of inuui-
sition and we're not heresy hunt
ing" That the entire campaign of
suppression is directed to the pur-
pose Of forcing the teachers to &C
cept without protest the coming
economy drive in the schools is
made plain by his reference to the
militant demonstration which pro-
tested last year the frame-up of
Isidore Blumberg, who succeeded at
that time in exposing the drive to
cut salaries.
The failure of the Board Of Ex-
aminerS to issue the complete uuizz
although it had made the an
nouncement over a week ago, shows
the effect of the protests that have
been made against it. The entire
campaign against freedom Of ex-
preston is proceeding slowly in the
face Of the growing resistance to It
among the teachers.

Union Votes
Unity With
UTA on Bill

Cooperation with the Unemployed
Teachers Association was voted over
the heads Of the Teachers Union
at a meeting held last week which
was marked by an attempt to eject
one Of the members who appealed
to the membership from President
Linvinville's autocratic d ecision.
Fought bitterly by the Legislative
Representative, DR.. Lefkowitz, the
membership voted to aid the un-
employed teachers in their fight
against the duel job evil.
This first delegate assembly of
the year also supported the rank
and file in its fight to seat Isidore
Begun, who had been Illegally ruled
off the ballot and who was elected
IN spite Of this by a write-in vote,
by voting for a special meeting at
which this would be taken I'D. The
bitterness of the fight on coopera-
ton with the U. T. A. as well as on
the matter Of seating Begun showed
that the bureaucracy was deter
mined more than ever to keep the
rank and file Of its membership
from expressing its desires within
its own union.
A rank and file motion was made
to work together with the U. T. A
in fighting for an anti-multiple lob
bill in the legislature. This was
bitterly fought by Lefkowitz, despite
the well-known fact that the u. T
A. had been in the forefront OF
the struggle to get jobs for the un-
employed teachers. Chairman Lin.
vile resorted to a parliamentary
trick of demanding a two-third vote
to pass the motion. This exposed
his liberalism" to the newly elected
delegates and they refused to up.
hold his decision and overwheln.
ingly passed the motion to invite
the U. T. A. to a joint conference
on the anti-multiple Job bill. Co.
operation with the Classroom
Teacher Groups on the same bill
was defeated.

Drive on Militant
Students In W est

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 31.-A
drive to expel radical and liberal
students was begun today by
authorities of the University of
California, Los Angles branch.
Stimulated by fascist elements
for long time, the campaign came
to head when students began
circulating an initiative petition to
hold political symposium. De-
spite indictments from the univer-
sity authorities the Student Coun-
Gil refused to smash this move
ment.
Last Friday night the notorious
Los Angeles Red Squad" broke up
a meeting to consider a petition
against the R.O.T.C. (Reserve Of
ficers' Training Corps. The squad
marched around the building in an
effort to intimidate the students.
Provost Moore of the Los An
geles branch of the university has
repeatedly issued virulent "anti-
Red" statements similar to those
of President Sproul of the Univer-
sity of California in Berkeley.
