THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER

A recent bulletin of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association carries
word of the newspaper advertising views
of Safeway Stores, Inc, large Western
food chain. These views could be profit
ably emulated by industry and commerce
in general.
In brief, the Safeway company be-
lieves that newspapers of regular publica-
ton, large and small, perform an i'm
poPtant public service, and that advertis-
ing revenue is essential to, keeping the
price charged the subscriber, low enough
to bring the paper within financial reach
of every possible family.
The company believes that when the
so-called free circulation newspaper at
tempts to lure advertisers, using lower
rate as bait, lit is the beginning of vicious
circle-first, depicting the established
publication; next, through bankruptcy,
depriving the community of such news
service; encouraging the free distribution
paper into becoming paid circulation and
news distributing publication, followed by
additional free circulation papers and thus
completing the cycle
Finally, the Safeway company in
structs its division managers to avoid using
handbms and free distribution papers ex-
cept len absolutely necessary, and then
to use The job shops of local regular news
papers where possible.
here is logical and progressive
policy. The local newspaper fills vital
place in the American scene. 1t is more
than business-it is record of the times
in which we live. Through news and COM
ment it brings to its readers knowledge of
what is going on at home-as well as what
is going on in the far flung capitals of the
world. Measured by the rigid yardstick
of dollars-and-cents alone, the newspaper
advertiser gets his full moneys worth
and at the same time makes possible the
existence of an irreplaceable institution.

PROF. H. OBRYANT
.EULOCIZES LINCOLN
AT LIONS MEETING
ORGANIZATION DESIGNATED
OFFICIAL LOCAL CLUB IN
STEPHEN FOSTER MEMOIR
AL DRIVE

Prof Horace O'Bryant, princi-
pal of Key West High School was
the speaker at the meeting of the
Lions Club Thursday evening at
Stone Church Annex The session
commemorated Abraham Lin
coins Birthday and Prof. O'Bry-
ants address was on the Char
acter Of Lincoln.
Declaring Abraham Lincoln to
be generally recognized as 'the
greatest president of the U. S.,
Prof. O'Bryant called attention to
the many sterling qualities of the
Civil War president. Without
almost unsurmountable difficult
ties in political, state and domes-
tic affairs. it was wonder that
Mr.. Lincoln rose to the majestic
heights he did, The speech was
appropriately elimaxed with a
recitation from memory of Lin
coins Gettysburg Address.
The Lions Club has been desig-
mated the official local organiza-
ton to assist in the statewide
drive to raise funds for the Ste
phen Foster Memorial. Local
choral groups will be contacted

volunteered for Scene d, 2 of the
Historical Pageant, and a special

Christine Calico, Mrs. Anne Liv-
ingston and Mrs. Eva Warner.

BROTHERHOOD WEEK

The growth of totalitarianism abroad,
both fascist and communist, makes it par
ticularly appropriate that this years OBJ
servance of Brotherhood Week, under the
auspices of the National Conference of
Christians and Jews, should be devoted to
the theme, Democracy and Freedom"
America has more to fear from the propa-
ganda of subversive elements from within
than from attacl by any outside nation or
group! The United States can perform it's
most useful sesyice toy civilization by MAX
ing demoeacy workshere We must re-
pudiate al prizes Of hatred. The Amer
lean population includes the descendants
of forty old world nations, people of all
racial strains, followers of every great liv-
ing religion. If we allow hate and rumor
mongers to set group against group, we
are lost
Strife between Christians and Jews,
by more than one subversive organizer in
Europe, who wanted to get factions fight
ing among themselves, that they might
step in to dictate over all. American demo-
cracy reeds mutual trust and cooperation
am6nH Protestants, Catholics and Jews.
That Is the message of Brotherhood Week.
A great deal of propaganda is being
spread in both South and North America
to weaken the faith of Americans in demo-
cracy and freedom. This propaganda
takes its most vicious form in libelous
campaign against particular racial and
religious groups. Sometimes this propa-
ganda is disseminated under high-sOund-
ig and patriotic phases. It is, however,
completely un-American, and it's objective,
far from being patriotic, is to foist totali-
tartan principles upon the people of this
country This propaganda of prejudice
and hatred is not the spontaneous reaction
of decent Americans; it is a carefully or
ganized, well-financed, INSCRIPTIONS cam
paign to break down traditional American
concepts of tolerance, religious freedom,
justice and fair play. Any attempt to
blame a single group for economic ills,
political situations or theological systems
is vicious, INSCRIPTIONS and without any
basis in fact. Such attempts will be re-
jected by every decent American no mat
ter what his faith or political leanings or
economic status.
America must, and will, set an ex-
ample to the world by rejecting all doc
trines of hatred, and by making goodwill
and cooperation among all faiths, classes
ard groups a reality.

COMING HERE TO
CHECK UP AUTOS

According to the office of Tax
Collector Frank H. Laid, agents
of the Motor Vehicle Bureau of
Florida are expected to arrive in
Key West on February 49,,
and start the regular check on
motor vehicles without the 1889
license tags. ' "''&
There Will be-! several, ,of the
agents in the city at that time
and what their actions will be
cannot be predicted. But it is a
well-estahlished fact that there
will not be as much leniency
shown as has been the case in
the past.
They have been taking the
cars found without the 1899 IL
cense, arresting the owners. stor-
ing the vehicles, and when the
cases have been disposed of in
court, the owners pay all the
charges, including the fees for
storage, if they are found guilty.
There have been sold to the
present time 1861 tags, which is
a larger number than were sold
at this time last year, but is still
far short of the LOO sales antici-
pated by the tax collector at the
beginning of the sales period.

Unions Pledge Support
To Roosevelt Dance

w. D. Murray, son of Senator
James E. Murray, has been selected
by national authorities to be chair
man of the Presidents Birthday Ball
on January Both of this year. This
ball is an annual event designed to
raise funds to carry on the work of
curing infantile paralysis victims
President Roosevelt so it was
brought out by Delegate Simmons,
gives his name to this particular
event because he was a sufferer of
infantile paralysis himself and it is
to alleviate the suffering of this
dreadful disease that the dances are
held everywhere. Chairman Muir
ray has announced that the first
general public meeting will take
place at Judge Downey's court room
Thursday, January 18th, at 8 p. m.
Organized labor is really behind
the event and it is hoped that Chair
man Murray will utilize all the re-
sources of the labor movement to
make the event a success. Butte
has already established a national
reputation for its generosity toward
this very noble purpose.

Resolution ON Death
OF Charles Allen

An expression of loyalty and de-
votion which has been the means
of placing the labor movement be-
fore the nation of the world was
symbolized by Charles Edward
Allen, a member of the BARRIERS
Union, who died December 30th.
Charles Allen religiously attended
the meetings of his union and of the
Silver Bow Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil, although he was not regular
credentialed delegate, was always
present and often conversed with the
officers and members of the central
labor body and in these conversa-
tions divulged a deep and abiding
affection for the interests of the
working people and their problems.
Mr.. Allen was a native of Illinois
and came to Butte more than 40
years ago. He resided with his wife
at SIS West Mercury street, at which
place, until recently, he operated a
barber shop. At the time of his
death he was vice president of the
BARRIERS Union. The Trades and
Labor Council at its regular meet
ing last Tuesday resolved to express
its admiration for the qualities of
this man and express sorrow at his
death and to those loved ones whom
he left behind.
