the same church she attends.
We went out several times and
then had a quarrel, but keep
on going to this church just to
be near her sometimes. Then
another girl became interested
in me, so began taking her
home, but never treated her
any more cordially than just
as a friend.
Now I have made up with the
first girl again, and I would like
to know how I could let the Sec
ond girl down, as I am not espe-
cially interested in her, except
as a friend. I don't care to hurt
her feelings, and I don't want
her to feel embarrassed before
her other friends.

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ In a picture recently pub
lished, describing a Sunday
night buffet supper, the guests
were all in formal attire. Won't
you please say something on the
subject of correct dress for men
as we'll as women on a Sunday
evening?
2. Will you also answer the fol-
lowing: A claims that candles
should not appear on the table
unless they are to be lighted,
and that inasmuch as they
should not be lighted before the
tea hour, they do not belong on
the luncheon table. B claims
that it is proper to have lighted
candles on the luncheon table.
Who is right?

met a young man about a
month ago, who has asked me
to marry him and go away with
him. However, he has no job
and I don't like his associates.
He wants me to draw out my

I'll have to give up my job, and
what will happen to us when my
savings are gone? I am all

What indeed, my dear? You
may well ask that question.
Why should you take out your
savings and go away with a job
less man you've known only a
month? Please don't. Stand
firm, and tell him he has got
to make good and get a job be-
fore you will even consider him.
Personally, I always distrust
these suitors who have such a
lively interest in the savings Of
hard-working girls. I'd rather
hear of your taking interest in
a different sort of young man.

NOT SERIOUS
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
For the past month or two
I've been going with a young
man who is of another religion.
There's nothing serious between
us and I doubt If there ever
will be. He is the kind who de.
pends on his dads income and
insists life owes him a good
time. I understand him per.
fectly and like him because he
is gay and carefree.
The other night when he
called me up, my father an
sWered, as I had gone out. Now,
my dad claims if we see each
other so often We'll fall in love
and might marry. Naturally, he
doesn't want me to marry some
one of a different faith. What
do you think Of this situation?
DAUGHTER.
see no objection to your 60
ing out together occasionally,
since neither Of you seems to be
serious at the present time.
But, as your father says, If you
see too much of each other,
there is always the possibility of
falling in love. You may be
walking into a good deal of un-
happiness with your eyes open.
Besides, my dear, a young man
who just plays around on his
fathers money isn't a good risk,
matrimonially speaking.

XXTOMEN today, Of 40
w or more, even those
of more than SO, are as
young for their years
and just as attractive
as the girl Of 20. Ger
tainly they are not all
so smart, but we believe
the great majority of
them are determined
to ignore the passing
years. They know there
are the natural changes
that come with advanc-
ing years but nothing
in the rules says one
must give up pleasure
and good looks.
When we say q woman
of 40 may look as young
for her age as a girl of
20, you know, we are not
thinking of the baby

There are only a few
of those left now, and
they are not really at

chronology.

with the workers but of them.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1938-09-02
By OLIVER E. CARRUTH

Labor Day, 1898, is an excellent
time for union men and women to
give thought to strengthening Of the
labor press, to make it more effective
than ever before in championing la
boris cause.
Since the first Labor Day celebra-
tion. the labor press has been a
powerful factor in promoting and ad-
vancing the interests Of American
workers. 1t is needed now and will
be needed in the future, as much as
in the past. In these days of national
and international uncertainty and
danger, it is vitally important that
labor have press pledged to sup
port the workers cause come what
may. Only strong support can as
sure labor press fitted to survive
and flourish in unfavorable as well as
in favorable times.
The labor press is the only press
the worker can depend upon to sup
port his cause through thick and thin,
through times of peace as well as
times of stress. Unless the worker
supports his press when times are
favorable for its development, it will
not have the opportunity to grow and
strengthen itself for the times when
it perhaps will be the only medium
through which the worker can present
his side of controversy.
How Worker Can Help
There are many ways in which the
worker can support the labor press.
Of course his first duty is to subscribe
to his labor paper and see that his
fellow workers do likewise. Then he
can talk labor press whenever he sees
the opportunity. He can point out
what a strong labor paper does for
the cause of trade unionism. He can
direct attention to the fact that the
labor paper serves the community by
exposing corruption and injustice
He can show that the labor paper
not only ends the activities of rascals
who rob and exploit the people but
that it makes those disposed to try
the same game, think twice before en-
barking on career which is pretty
sure to be ended by the white light
of publicity.
Friends of the labor press can alse
be alert to aid the editor in making
his paper of the greatest interest anC
value to union men and their families
They can often suggest features ane
articles which will prove of interest
Send in the News
OF course the editor knows abou
the calling of strikes, signing of new
agreements and other important labor
news in his community but he ma,
not always know of less importan
events which are of keen interest t,
his readers. Among these are dance
and other social affairs given b,
unions or of organizations made III
largely of union members. A timel
"tip" on these affairs will be appre
ciated by the editor. He will ais
appreciate information on affairs an
events of all kinds affecting unio
members.
BY supporting the labor press
and cooperating with it in every
possible way, the worker is not
only building up strong and
powerful press of his own. He is
forcing the daily papers and other
publications to give constantly an
increasing amount of space to or
ganized labor and its activities.
Thus by supporting the labor pres

Buy Lake Como and Control 1t

The Town Of Smyrna it is
said, has an opportunity to
buy and own Lake Como. The
property has been part of the
Webb's Mill property for
many years. Now is the time
to segregate it from the old
mill and make and keep it one
of the beauty spots Of Smyr-
ma. Since Lake Como is a
recreation center both sum
mer and winter and since it
has come to be a community
center for water sports and
ice skating, the body Of water
should be owned and controll-
ed by the Town of Smyrna.
Should this property fall into
private ownership other than
J. Frank Webb (who has al
ways been most liberal to the
public to use and enjoy IT'D it
might fall into other hands
NO would not be 50 liberal.
Lake Como should be owned
by the Town. Silver Lake at
Dover, once was privately
owned. Now it is understood
to be owned and controlled by
the municipality Of Dover.
Dover saw the advantage of
acquiring Silver Lake. Smyr-
ma should likewise see the adj
vantage Of holding title to
Lake Como. The lake not
only means much to Smyrna
but it is a constant source Of
pleasure to the guests of
State Welfare Home whose
grounds run down to its wat
er's edge. Town Council
should not let the opportunity
pass. They should acquire it
now.

Is per cent reduction in wages
will be effective October 1.
The Mediation Board made its
official report, confessing fail
ure of its efforts, on August
81. The month of September,
therefore, was a period of
compelled inaction by both
railroad managements and
labor in so far as altering
working conditions is concern
ed because the law specifically
says that the status quo must
prevail for 80 days following
failure of mediation.
Says the Journal Of Provid-
ence, r. l.: ''In all probablil-
ity, however, wages will not
be reduced October 1. Nor is
it likely that there will be a
strike next month, despite the
call issued by the unions for
"a strike vote which will be
counted the latter part of this
month. For President Roose-
velt has the power under the
railroad law to appoint a fact
finding committee. The ma
tional welfare demands that
step, if otherwise a strike IS
to be called. Such a commit
tee would have 80 days to
complete its task. And, as in
the case of the Mediation
Board, no change in the status
quo could occur for 80 days
subsequent to the fact-finding
committees report.
"While there is no threat Of
an immediate rail tie-up,
therefore, the outlook two Oh
three months hence may be
gloomy indeed unless eco
nOmic reason begins to assert
itself in the ranks of the labor
leaders. Whether a Is per
cent cut is too drastic is some I
thing for a fact-fnding COM
mission to determine. But
some degree Of reduction ap-
pears to be in order on the
basis Of present.traffic and net
earnings Of the carriers.
Freight loadings the chief
source Of revenue are now
about 20 per cent below the
level of a year ago. And dur
ing the past six months, net
profits of most of the lines
nave been either extremely
slim or entirely non-existent.7
