Party Lite
Recruiting Campaign
Election FOlIow-Up
Linking Up"

Linking Up
BY C. NJ. Org. Unit 80, See. 1, N. Y.
DURING the election campaign
~ our unit did very little recruiting.
Although at the beginning of the
election campaign we had set our
selves a recruiting quota as one of
our campaign control tasks, we lost
sight OF this important task because
we were so busy with the details OF
arranging open-air meetings, getting
speakers, putting out leaflets, etc.
Just another case of not seeing the
forest for the trees.
After election day, when we an
sly5ed our units work in the cam
paign, we pointed out our slowness
in recruiting as one of our major
shortcomings, and decided to take
immediate steps to remedy the sit
uation Immediately.
First, we decided to carry out
some Of the Sections instructions
in order to make the comrades
recruiting conscious:
l. Checking up on each unit mem
Der at the unit meeting. We find
that this stimulates the comrades to
follow up Immediately certain con-
facts which they were allowing to
drag on indefinitely.
Open Meetings
2. Open unit meetings. We ar
ranged for a joint Party and Y.CL.
open unit meeting for which one of
the comrades volunteered to lead
the discussion on why Every
Worker Should Join the Communist
Party?" We are not following the
suggestion of issuing leaflet to the
workers in the neighborhood invit-
ing them to this meeting because
the workers would regard it as just
another mass meeting, whereas
when they are personally invited to
a unit meeting at which assign
ments are given out, business taken
up, etc, the newcomers feel that
they have attended real, authentic
Communist Party unit meeting. The
unit comrades have a number Of
contacts whom we hope to sign up
at this meeting
Secondly, we decided to arrange a
series of mass meetings in the neigh
borhood for the purpose of recruit
ing and in connection with our va
rious campaigns The main speaker
at these meetings is to be the Com
munist candidate who was most
popular during the election cam
paign.
For example, shortly after election
day we had Comrade Magliacano
speak on the Importance of the
Communist Vote" The attendance
was poor; there we're only about 80
workers present. But four applica-
tons were signed and handed in.
Italian, English Posters
Now we are planning to hold a
similar meeting, to be we'll prepared
with good distribution of leaflets
and posters in Italian and English,
at which the same comrade will
speak on the Washington Congress
for Unemployment Insurance,
This meeting will be part of our
unit work in preparation for this
Congress. 1t will also be used for
recruiting. 1t will also serve to keep
the Communist candidate before
the workers in the neighborhood so
that when he runs again next year,
the workers will know him.
In this way we are linking up
three different campaigns and do
ing justice to them all. We intend
to hold each recruiting meeting in
connection with all our campaigns.
In this way, we are making re-
cruiting part of our other cam
paigns.

COTTON EXPORT BUSINESS is BEING RUINED

Our present cotton policy means complete loss

markets for cotton l ask again, how will we then

What cities? What factories? Or must they start
to raising corn and hogs in competition with the
Middle West?
If there are other channels more remunerative
than cotton raising, in which the economic energies
and resources of the South may be employed the

HENDERSON is STRONG FOR
SANATORIUM

Henderson county is going after the ~
cation of the new tuberculosis sanatorlum
I'M way that should be successful III lano-
INC the institution in this county, the
North Carolina Legislature decides 10 pro-
vide for its construction.
THE endorsement of all organizations OF
the county has been or will be secured Tor
the proposition and there is practically no
opposition from individuals. The little 50
far indicated is based on the question OF
the probable effect of the institution Oh
the countv's tourist business, but after CIV
ing careful consideration to this objection,
II seems that nearly all our citizens have
concluded it is not a sound reason for OPP
posing the building of the institution here.
lCounty physicians appear to be unanl-
mously of the opinion that local health
conditions would be improved by having
the institution in the county. 1t would en-
large the States facilities for taking care
of people afflicted with tuberculosis and
would. the physicians claim, remove from
the streets and public places people who
are afflicted, and who would be placed IL
the sanatorium to remain until cured.
Patients in the institution would not be
allowed to move around on the streets or
mingle with the general public. They
would not be found in business houses or
public places. but would remain in the hos
pital while under treatment. The doctors
also say that no danger whatever to the
public can possibly arise in any way from
the location of the sanatorium IN the coun-
tv. They point out that the States present
institution of this kind is located four miles
from Southern Pines, in the heart or the
Sand Hills tourist country; and, also, that
the location of a number of private msti-
tutions in Asheville and vicinity has not
prevented that city from doing flourish
ing tourist business. ..
The sanatorium bill has not yet been en-
acted by the Legislature, but it is believed
it. will be, and that money will be appro-
ptiated to put the project under construc-
tion at an early date; and while attempts
will be made to locate it elsewhere in the
mountain country, it is believed by Repre-
sentative Sherard and other interested
Henderson county citizens that this coun-
tH's chances for getting the institution are
good.
