COMMUNITY, DRIVES

A National Citizens Committee hal
been appointed to promote the com
munity campaigns and drives in 4O(
American cities. to carry on private
health and social welfare organiza-
tions. The movement is called the
Community Mobilization for HUI
man Needs. 1t has the hearty in
dorsement of President Roosevelt
and many other leaders. In thou
sands of small towns not covered by
these drives, there are social and
educational agencies that must have
similar public support.
Stimulated by the aid of these lead
ers, an army of solicitors will go out
to collect funds for hospitals. well
fare agencies, educational activities,
etc.
What response will the solicitor
meet? Will the householder and the
housewife say they are tired of this
constant begging for money, that
they are solicited in so many ways
that they can't possibly do anything
for anybody else? If they take that
attitude, much sickness and suffering
will go unrelieved. and many young
people will go astray because no one
has opened any door of opportunity |
or recreation to them.
1t is the tragic fact of our civiliza-
ton that it fails to provide welfare
for millions of people. OF course
many have produced their poverty by
their own shiftless ways. Many 9TH
ers are the victims of an industrial
system in which they can't seem to
ind any place. even though they have
ried hard to do so.
In many families, the parents are
o blame for their condition. yet the
are not to blame for the err
ors they did not commit They
hould have the helping hand, and
which their parents don't
eem able to give. Let us take a {
enerous attitude toward all such
gencies in Delaware. and see that {
ne movements to produce human {
elfare are generously supported.

ARE THE NEWSPAPERS FATRf

They had discussion few days
ago at the Williamstown, Mass
Institute of Human Relations, about
the newspapers OF the country, and
the part they play in forming public
opinion. Wilbur Forrest, executive
assistant to the New York Herald
Tribune, took the view that the news
papers today are the most honest and
competent that the country has ever
known.
1t is often asserted by people Of
radical tendencies, that the news
papers favor the capitalistic and
property owning classes, and that re-
ports of news events are so distorted
as to be unfair to struggling and un-
der-privileged people.
Newspapers are not wholly free
from these faults. 1t has always
been the tradition of newspaper life
in this country, that the reporter
must get the facts without regard
to partisan prejudice. and il there
is any controversy, he must getlboth
sides. Newspaper people get such
violent kicks il they do present one
sided reports of news events, that
they are usually pretty careful to
tell the truth so far as they can find |
it. Newspaper work is at best a
rushed and hurried scrimmage, and
it is not strange that errors creep in.
The newspaper that is unfair in
its presentation of facts loses circu-
lation. which impairs its value for
Newspapers come near
er telling the truth than the people
realize.
Absolute accuracy is the ideal at
which every hood newspaper aims.
rhe reporter should see what hap
pens. and tell it as it happened. His
opinions should not color
lis story. 1t is then the duty of
he editor to express his opinions
bout the news, which he has a right
o do. AS all types of newspapers
nd magazines are widely circulated.
IL types of opinion get their chance
} be heard.

THE GOOD NEIGHBOR

In former years. the good neighbor
was the one who helped you in mis-
fortune, who was constantly coming
in to call, and doing friendly acts.
These friendly ways still count, par
ticularly in rural neighborhoods.
In towns. the characteristic of the
good neighbor which is probably
most valued, is disposition to make
a. home place look nicely. People
can do so much damage to their
neighbors by neglect. II the man
next door allows his place to go to
rack and ruin, 1t might damage the
selling value of your home 20 to
25 per cent. People do not like to buy
next to a house that looks like a
slum. The family that keeps a place
that is a credit to the street are
called good neighbors, even IL they
never bring in any nice jelly or
soup when you are sick.

DAIRYMEN TO PROFIT

The coming winter feeding period
probably will be the most favorable
one for dairy producers since the
beginning of the depression, accord
ing to the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics. A large supply of food
grains and hay will place dairymen
in a somewhat easier position this
fall. The output of foodstuffs is ex-
pected to be ample for the greatly
reduced number of livestock in this
country.
Milford chronicle., 1937-10-01
IMPROVED DEMAND FOR FEED
GRAINS

There should be a better demand
for United States feed grains in Eu-
rope during the 1898 season than
for many years. European surplus
supplies have been reduced to low
levels and new crop prospects are
not very promising. Europe as a
whole is harvesting about an aver
age wheat crop, definitely below av-
erage crops of rye, barley and oats.
but probably somewhat above aver
age crops of corn, potatoes. and SUI
gar beets. North Africa has a great
ly reduced barley crop.

FARM PRODUCTS DEMAND
CONTINUES

Farmers we're assured by the Blu
reau of Agricultural Economies of a
fairly well maintained" consumer
buying power and a demand for
farm products during the last quar-
ter of this year. The explanation is
that although business activity has
slackened recently, there is norm-
ally lag between changes In busi-
ness activity and in consumer in
comes and demand for farm pro-
ducts.

TAX COORDINATION

State Governments and President
Roosevelt will join forces in an at
tempt to eliminate Implications of
taxes in Federal and State Govern
ments. During the past twenty years
this type of taxation has mounted to
an alarming state and because of the
high rates created in this way often
results in conflicting taxation.

EASY MONEY

The Government is continuing its
"easy money course" which was set
back in 1882. There was a release of
300 million of the 1.400 million dol
lars of the sterilized gold fund held
in the Treasury. This is being done
to prevent the prospective expension
in loans because of the usual autumn
nal crop movements and business
expansion from reducing excess re-
serves to a dangerously low level.

AN INnIUInI1AI. WASTE

AN INDIVIDUAL WASTES mon
ey when he spends is SO as to get no

spend large part of their money
in other places, it is also form Of

home never comes back to benefit

PROGRESS

Industry income has progressed
about 10 to Is per cent this year ac-
cording to a survey made by the De-

production has been moving along at

in December of last year.

|Anti-FasGst Ordered
Deported 10 Italy
Faces Death in Fascist Italy;
Requests Protests.


NEW YORK.-In an appeal issued
here recently the American Com
mittee for Protection of Foreign
Born requests that letters and tele-
grams be sent to James L. Houghtel-
ing, Commissioner of immigration,
Washington, D. c., protesting the de-
p~ortation of Vincent Ferrero who
has been ordered to surrender at
Ellis Island November 26 and be
shipped to Fascist Italy the follow
ing morning on the SIS 'Vulcania."
In a letter to Ferrero's attorney,
Isaac Shorr, Commissioner Hough-
telling says, in part: while it has
been suggested that deportation to
Italy might result in his persecution
after arrival, it can be pointed out
that this alien has not been in Italy
for 81 years, has therefore taken no
part in current political affairs and
has no enemies in the country of his
birth. Therefore I can see no objec-
ton to his deportation to Italy !"
Writing to Commissioner Hough-
telling, Dwight c. Morgan, secretary
Of the American Committee for Pro-
lection of Foreign Born, says: "A
great deal of evidence has been ac-
cumulated and forwarded to the De-
partment to establish beyond any
doubt that Ferrero faces severe per-
secution if deported to Italy. If the
highest traditions of American de-
mocracy and the reputation of this
country as a haven beyond the reach
of foreign tyrants are to be main
tanned, we believe that the only
course open to you in this case is tc
grant Vincent Ferrero right of asy-
lum in the United States as a politi-
cal refugee"
Ferrero, so, entered the United
States in 1905. He was arrested ir
1884 in Oakland, California, and hello
for deportation, charged with mem.
bership in an organization which be-
lieves in the overthrow of the gov.
eminent by force and violence.
Officials of the American Commit
tee for Protection of Foreign Borr
urged that protests be sent to Wash
ington at once since Ferrero, an ac
tive anti-Fascist, faces not only per
secution in Italy but even death. HI
is being defended by the Ferrero
Sallitto Defense Conference.

OXY-ACETYLENE PROCESS
DEPICTED IN NEW EDUCA-
TIONAL MOTION PICTURE

Modern Woodworking with the
Oxy-Acetylene Flame" a new two
reel silent motion-picture film that
depicts the construction and opera
ton of the oxy-acetylene torch and
the oxy-acetylene process for joining
and severing metals, is the latest
addition to the film library of the
Bureau of Mines, Department of the
Interior.
Reel l illustrates how acetylene,
the fuel gas for the oxy-acetylene
flame, is produced by the chemical
action of water and calcium carbide
and how oxygen, the gas that sup
ports the combustion of acetylene,
is utilized in producing the oxy-
acetylene flame of approximately
$500 degrees F. By mean of ami
mated drawings and photography,
every phase of the construction and
operation of the ~"blowpipe," includ-
ing pressure cages and adjusting
screws, is shown graphically as well
as the utilization of the oxy-acety-
lene flame.
Reel 2 illustrates the use of the
oxy-acetylene process in cutting and
welding metals, repairing damaged
metal appliances, bronze welding
-
joints, welding pipe lines, and in the
construction of all-metal automobile
bodies. Scenes showing the use of
oXy-acetylene cutting machines in
shop and foundry practice and the
flexibility, economy, and dependa-
bility of the oxy-acetylene process
conclude the story of this universal
tool of all industry.
Copies of this film in l6-mm and
35-mm size may be had for exhibit
ton by schools, churches, colleges,
civic and business organizations, and
others interested. Applications for
the film should be addressed to the
Bureau of Mines Experiment Sta
ton, 1900 Forbes Street, Pittsburgh,
Pa. No charge is made for the use
of the film, although the exhibitor is
asked to pay the transportation
charges.

Labor Consolidating 10
Defeat Mayor Dore

E. = Determination by
both A. F. L. and c. l. o. forces to
defeat reactionary Mayor John F.
Dore for reelection was expressed
this week at a meeting at Moose Hall
called by the political welfare COM
mittee of the powerful Washington
Commonwealth Federation.
Dore, working in collision with
Dave Beck, Seattle Transfers I'm
ion %"czar," has during his present
term ordered pickets dispersed with
the promise to send them to 'the
jail, hospital or morgue," and his
police have acted as Transfers IN
ion organizers in aiding Teamster
officials in coercing C. I. 0. ware
housemen to quit their union and
join the Transfers.
Two hundred and fifty delegates
packed the hall.
C. S. Hill, delegate from the A.
F. L. Building Service Employees
Union, declared:
"The issue in the coming city cleo
ton campaign is not a case of an
A. F. L. candidate versus a c. l. o.
candidate, as newspaper stories i'm
ply, but a case of both branches of
the labor movement uniting against
Dore for the cause of good govern
ment."
No candidate to oppose Dore was
named.
Citing the recent New York City
elections, in which Republican-Fu-
sion Candidate Fiorello LaGuardia,
backed by labor and progressive
forces, won over opposing Demo-
Gratis, Howard G. Costigan, execu-
tive secretary of the w. C. F., said.
'The defeat of the present city
administration is of as much politi-
cal significance to the United States
at large as the victory of LaGuardia
in New York; the defeat of forces
that are fomenting labor warfare ir
Seattle will mean the end of labor's
civil war in the Northwest"

Journey to Bethlehem
Not Like Today's Travel


A CCUSTOMED to our swift and
~ modern transportation, it is
difficult to visualize the hard
ships of that journey from Nazareth
to Bethlehem, or the great fatigue
and WEAKNESS suffered by Mary and
Joseph. CONSERVATION filled their
hearts at the decree of Caesar; yet
there was nothing to do but obey
the summons. They must make the
long, tiresome journey and at
oncel"
No shining motor car waited out
side their gate; no silver-winged
plane stood throbbing in a nearby
field; not even the meanest ox-cart
was available. While others rode
by in gorgeous caravans, a patient
little donkey was their only means
of transportation. We can imagine
the tall and bearded Joseph leading
the animal along, glancing back ev-
cry now and then with words OF
cheer and encouragement for Mary,
or pointing out some landmark
along the way.
Behind them now was the Sea of
Galilee and Mt. Tabor. Through
the plain of Estraleon they labored;
then came the rough and uneven
trail through Samaria, where even
the sure-footed donkey stumbled at
times. To the west, the Jordan ran
its course, to empty farther south
into the Dead sea. Along their way
they passed many places whose
names would be known and revered
around the world in the dim future
Did Mary have a vision as
she went by that one day the Son
whom she was about to bear would
go up and down this country preach
ing a new Gospel of love and peace
and hope for man, and that His
birth would be held in happy and
blessed remembrance by all the
peoples of the earth until time would
be no more?-Katherine Edelman.

cherge of welfare and social Serv-
ice work in the recently estab-

Hanrahan said that operation
of the new division the past 80

department since its organization
in 1922 would not only be main

arrangement there would un.
doubtely be closer contact with

Details of coordination within
the department and with outside

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 8.
The city hall will move into the

o. P. Bosnian, who enlisted in
the World War, was gassed in
action with the A. E. F. and re-
ported as dead, was reunited with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Bos-

The veteran said he could re-
member nothing about his early
life until ten years ago when he
found he was in Pasadena, Cal.
Believing he had relatives in this
section, he came here and made
inquiries. He readily recognized
his brother but only partly recog-
nized his father when he first saw
him and required some time re-
membering his mother.
The BoSmanS had mourned him
as dead.
