TOWN TOPICS
We are gratified.

We are gratified.
The largest crowd we have
seen at Hungarian dance was
present at the first annual round
up of the Youngstown Family of
Pioneer American Hungarians.
We were glad to see SO many
of the old folks turning out for a
reunion and we were glad to
see that they found what they
expected an evening which
"reminiscences could be engaged,
an event where old friendships
were revived and renewed.
We were also glad to see our
young people there. TEey had a
good time and certainly must
have had some inspiration from
their fathers and mothers, who
enjoyed themselves so much.
The Pioneer Family movement
is a good movement. Let it re-
main a social movement. We
should not connect it with any
thing else.
We thank the Cleveland "Old
Timers" Emery Pal, Uncle
Ibos and Bertalan Rendes for
loking us up and we were also
glad to shake hands with the
old timers and their children
who came from Sharon, Sharps-
vile, Farrell, Niles, Warren and
from the farming district. We
and they all had a good time.
s.
A Baseball League organized
with teams of young Americans
will. Hungarian blood in their
veins will be in operation this
year here, Akron, Cleveland,
and Alliance.
The Slovaks had successful
baseball leagues for years. They
have learned sooner than we did
that our young people are
attracted to sport and to the
American games.
We are glad to note that a,
least three of the six teams in
the League will represent Ver-
hovay branches. In this distric,
we could easily have a Verhovay
League of six or eight teams.
In this connection let us con.
gratulate Branch 364 of the
Verhovay. They have grown
from a small beginning to nearly
20 members now. We are GER
tain they will place a good
team in the field.
We would like to see Branch
365 at Campbell which has also
grown rapidly get some under.
standing with the Campbell Kul.
turs which would make both or.
ganizations bigger and better
The Kulturs deserve praise for
their efforts in organizing the
Hungarian League.
This Sunday we are starting
to celebrate Mothers Day.. The
first Hungarian celebration will
be offered by the St. Stephens
amateur players and the two
choirs. We are certain that il
will be a worthwhile entertain
ment and recommend to all to
visit South High School Audi
torium next Sunday evening.

the appointment of General Glass

PROF|T-SHARE
PLAN DECLINES

LONDON, July 26. U.P)-Profit-
sharing appears to be declining in
Great Britain.
OF the 655 such schemes known
to have been started at various
times in the united kingdom. the
ministry of labor reports that more
than half of them were extinct
last year. About one-quarter of
those abandoned disappeared eth
er because the business was wound
up, or because it passed into new
hands with different ideas; the
others were dropped, it is stated,
either because they did not i'm
prove business or for other reas-
ons were unsatisfactory to The en-
ployers. or because the employees
received increased wages or short
er hours in lieu of the annual
share in the company'S profits.
In 1919 and 1920, when profit
sharing was popular, 90 different
schemes embracing $1,000 work
people were started; last year not
a single new scheme was launched,
and five old ones were wound up.
British experience seems TO show
that banks and public utilities
make the greatest success of pro-
apparently because their
income is less subject 20 violent
The biggest single scheme in
Britain consists of seven banks
with 14.700 employees; the average
share of profit received by the en-
ployee in 1888 was $3.50, an increase
of 16 per cent on the ordinary
wages, or salary received. Public
utility companies-gas, water and
electricity-had 68 such schemes in
effect covering $4,000 employees;
the average share of profit amounts
to over s45, an increase Of 4.8 per
cent on earnings.

CONGRESSMAN BURNHAM GIVES
ACCOUNT OF STEWARDSHIP

pension, though he has forwarded
copies of the plan to Harry L..
Hopkins, chairman OF the Presi-
dents commission and to Secretary
Perkins. The congressman stated
he favors an old age pension plan
of some type but believes it is pru-
dent to await the findings of the
Presidents commission rather than
to try to force adoption of any
particular plan at this time.
Touching on radicalism he point
ed to the Boy Scouts as one of the
greatest organizations in combat
ting Communism. The latter seeks
to instill it's doctrines in the minds
of the young and finds the Scouts
the greatest obstacle in this part
of its program. He urged, for this
and other reasons, the utmost IN
support for the Boy Scouts.
He paid a high compliment to
Phil Swing for work at Washington
in behalf of the valley and assured
his hearers they may be sure Swing
is doing everything possible in the
present water crisis. The congress-
man related his work in this con-
nection at the request Of Chairman
Graham of the board of super
visors and President HeweS of the
irrigation district, who contacted
him in Chicago on his way home
from Washington. He Immediately
got in touch with federal officials
and placed Imperial Valleys case
before them.
Declaring that friendship is even
more effective than political affil-
iations in getting things done at
the capital, Burnham read several
letters from Democratic congress
sional leaders. including one from
Carl Vinson, chairman Of the naval
affairs committee, Of which the
congressman is a member, thank
ing him for his aid and expressing
the hope he will be back on the
committee in the 74th congress.
Welcomed BY Mayor
The congressman stated ad-
journment does not mean the end
of work for him as he is maintain
ing offices in Washington and in
San Diego to take care of work
in this district, there being over
500 veterans claims alone requir-
ing contact with federal bureaus.
Congressman Burnnam concluded
his talk with a stirring plea for
the suppression of radicalism- and
upholding American ideals, the gist
of which will be found on the
editorial page of this issue.
Mayor Charles E. Anderson Of
ficially welcomed the congressman
TO FL Centro and an expression of
appreciation for his services to Inn
perial Valley was given by Walter
Havekorst.
On behalf of the women of I'M

New York Stocks

NEW YORK, July 26. UP)-The
worst break in securities prices this
year accompanied an avalanche of
unconfirmed war rumors today in
Wall street.
Stock prices dropped to 10 points
in trading that reached around 81
100000 shares. Bonds had the
widest shakeout of the year with
q. S. government joining in the
weakness. Wheat lost more than
a cent buShel.
Traders were nervous before the
opening. The Austrian crisis and
assassination of Chancellor Dollfuss
troubled a trading community al
ready anxious. Drought conditions
in the west, labor situations, weak
ened margin accounts, etc, had
placed the market in a vulnerable
spot for a sharp bear drive.
Big traders and little traders,
domestic orders and foreign orders
dumped holdings. Tickers fell six
minutes behind. There were spo-
radio outbursts of selling and ac-
tivity scattered through the day
with no real assistance until the
final half hour when prices firmed
about a point from their lows but
still held far below previous closing
levels.
All Dow-Jones averages went back

preaching the 1898 low.

gressman, but would be given
straight facts.
President W. H. Tyler, Jr., of
the chamber of commerce, ex-
pressed that organizations appre-
ciation to the congressman for &C
cepting it's invitation and assured
him of Ell Centro's pleasure in hav-
ing him as guest.
At the conclusion of the pro-
gram Congressman Burnham went
to Calexico, having been misin-
formed that the political rally there
was open to all comers instead OF
being limited to Democrats.
Though speakers in behalf OF
other Republican candidates for
office were barred, the committee
in charge graciously invited the
congressman to the platform and
asked him to speak to those pres
ent.
II want to express my sincere ap-
probation to the Democratic COM
mittee at Calexico," the congress-
man stated this morning before
leaving for San Diego, "for their
splendid courtesy given to me last
night. 1 was greatly embarrassed
when 1 found that I had injected
myself into purely Democratic
rally. l had been misinformed of
it's nature Or I never would have
imposed myself on the meeting.
The 'fair-play and courtesy extend
ed to me touched me deeply and
1 wish there was more of the spirit
in all of our political transactions.
1t would make for better govern
ment and happier people,"

INSECTS RAID
STATE CROPS

LANSING, July 26. W.H)-Insects
infesting Michigan crops have lost
all sense of politeneSs.
At least that is the conclusion OF
Michigan state college entomolo-
gists, who claim the bugs this year
arrived considerably ahead OF
schedule and are changing around
long after they should be satisfied
with the damage done" "
Beetles, moths, flies, bugs and
many other kinds of insects have
combined in all stages of develop
ment to make 1884 a "pest' year
of record in the state S farming his
tory, a survey by the college ento-
mologists shows.
These insects have launched a
concentrated attack on everything
planted. At this time, scientists
point out, the cut worm continues
to cut down plants weeks after the
cut worm IS usual season of de-
struction.
The army worm is likewise par
asite without any sense of propri-
ety." insist the specialists. This
worm usually multiplies in crops
on low areas and then marches to
other fields as the original food
supply becomes exhausted.

CITY PLANNING
To CELEBRATE
ITS BIRTHDAY

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., July 26.
Nebraska City will observe its
80th anniversary in July.
In July of 1854, two months af-
ter the passage of congress of the
Kansas s-Nebraska bill, organizing
the territories of Kansas and Ne
braska. Charles w. Pierce, civil
engineer, began the survey of Ne
braSka City.
The original townsite containing
800 acres was purchased by the
Nebraska City Town company ear
lier that year of Sergeant Hiram
P. Downs. United States Army Off

merged with the Nebraska Press,
founded in 1853.
