A Message to the Regularly Employed
My words tonight are not severe like
those last Saturday night-not words
of denunciation.
They are kindly, but also, warning.
Like my third division of human So
ciety, you who are regularly employed
are also victims of the brutal system
operated by organized greed You,
like the rest of us, are parts of the
machine that is trying to make
mechanical robots of human souls
created in the image of God.
Your value to the extortionate sys-
tenn of unfair, unlimited profits, is de-
termined and proportionate to the use
you can become in declaring dividend
checks to the so-called big men of our
Wall streets. Big men, so called, re-
member-big. brutes is the better term,
for any system that would issue a
dividend check in the face of underfed
little children is brutal system.
So remember as you read, that we
are all in the same boat, and back in
1929 organized greed rocked the boat
and some 10 million of us fell over
board into the waters of economic dis
tress. With these preliminary re-
marks, let me ask the question: What
recovery do you want? What have
you lost?
Well, first of all, you haven't lost
your job, though we admit you are like
the one man street car, i.e., working
on a doubling-up system.
One of my friends, John Ralphson
happens to be laid up right now, run
ragged by the doubling-up system,
but he told me the other day7he was
anxious to get back into the harness,
for he missed his pay check.
No, you haven't lost your job or
your pay check.
However, you have had the pay
check cut, cut from about 10 per cent
to 40 percent, but listen, when Or
ganized Greed ordered your boss to
cut your check, he also fixed the mar
ket so you could live some way. He
needs you in his system, but as stated
above, only in proportion to your
value in dividends.
Let me submit statement subject
TO vour correction. Write and tell me

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Food YOa Eat Greatly
Affects Your Appearance
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutrifionist for the State Board
of Health.
THE USE OF DRY SKIM MILK

Dry skim milk is one of the cheap
est and best of foods. 1t contains ey-
erything but the fat of whole milk.
For the last three years the gov
ernment has distribused about Al
million pounds of this product
through the Federal Surplus Com
modes Corporation. Many people
have been educated to use it.
The government is anxious to pro-
mote the use of this product first be-
cause Of its fundamental health
value in the diet and second because
of its greater use would help the
dairy farmer.
The typical Delaware diet is too
low in calcium. Dry skim milk
would be the cheapest way to add
this extra calcium TO the diet. Dry
skim milk is not a substitute for
whole fresh milk. in that it does not
contain the butter fat. 1t should be
used in addition to. and not to re-
place whole milk in the diet.
Many farmers either waste their
ohAhA VI lCCu IL " i've
stock. Important as it is that farm
animals be well fed, it is certainly
more important that our children
get the food they need.
An increase in the amount of dry
milk consumed would help our milk
producers in Delaware. Much of the
milk which we produce, although it
is not itself dried, does go into
pool to replace Pennsylvania milk
which has been dried.
Dry skim milk can be used for the
same purposes as fresh skim milk.
1t is easy to use in cooking and
many of our Delaware people are
familiar with it from surplus COM
modify distribution.
The best package which has been
developed in a glassive-lined paper
bag, moisture proof which can be
bought in quantities for a little over
one cent apiece.
Retailers are glad to stock any
product which their customers re-
quest. Many years of research and
of public education have opened the
way for the sale Of this valuable
product. Now 1t is UP to the con-
sumers to take advantage of this re-
search and education.
Government bulletins wi.h direc-
tions for using dry skim milk can
be secured by writing the Board of
Health.

Did you all hear about our finan-
cial secretary, Henry Wilkins and
the peaceful night he enjoyed last
Saturday? He had had a very hard
day and was very tired when he
went home, so finding that his wife
and son would be out for the eve
ming, he thought 1t would be a grand
time to get to bed early and enjoy
a well earned nights rest. On the
way home he had stopped in town
and bought a big chicken rooster
for his Sunday dinner, but finding
his wife ready to go out and being
so tired himself. he decided to fasten
it in the cellar and wait until Sun
day morning to kill and dress it.
