CHAPTER XIII.
The Leader Is Kidnaped.


And the things Whitlow kept say
Ing! Abrahams could hardly believe
his ears.
He was not only saying them. He
was getting away with them. He
was provoking angry and abusive
cries, but he was getting support
and more support.

shouted Rud. Hear what I've got
to say"
Uproar.
This Is a private meeting of the
party and If you don't agree with
me-say 1t afterwards. But hear
my case"
The majority was for him. No
doubt of it, Abrahams' arithmetic
was swift and sound.

IN, he resolved, I quit. What was
he saying?
Il tell you we've had this-this
guy making us ridiculous long
enough. I tell you he's not leading.
I tell you he's standing in our way.
He's selling us to bankers and rich
Americans. He's setting us against
the trade unionists and Communists
who have Casa poor case but
they have case. He's doing nothing
for the Socialist cause, while our
navy, our navy, the navy this coun-
try pays for, bombards American
workers homes He's making
mischief for us with the Jews?'
Abrahams applauded internally.
No Quarrel With Jew.
DO they do any harm here? Do
people mind them? But that's the
game they played in Germany and

ferent, where never in the whole
OF history has there been such
thing as pogrom-we have to
do likewise! Just to split the
1--WE got no quarrel with a Jew
As such-who has here? But these
snti-Jews and these pro-Jews are
poison. It's stale old quarrel from
the Middle Ages. Who wants that
{otten quarrel in our new world?
TO hell with all this Jew-conscious-
hess, either way! I tell you it's
a new world we're living Inland
we want to get on with it and
get in order. Who wants to play
Jews against gentiles, Catholics
against Protestants, Socialists
against individualists, Sunnites
against Shiites now? It's all old
stuff. It's dead stuff. It's yester-
dayism. Politics from Petticoat
lane. What I say about these Jews
Is. smash up the Ghetto and let
them run. We want new against
old-and this leader who has been
pretending to lead us is so old, SO
stale; he's sort of antiquarian. He's
q curio. He's collector
That's Horry-boy. That's the
hero Of the society Judys. That's
the darling Of dear old Lady Rag

Lady Garbees, who spends her
whole life trying not to speak with
q nasty native American accent.

There is one case in which the
motors have the right Of way in

Each car displays q tag or a nag

indicated by the number Of cars,

Honolulu-by the way, the word
is pronounced with the "o's' long

day while crossing King street and
noted that it came from raggedy-
Andy brown Hawaiian who was
strumming the instrument and sing

from curb to curb.
And the significant thing about
this situation was that apparently
nobody was paying the least atten-
tion to this demonstration of con-
ddence in the rule Of the road.

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING
INeTALIMENTH.

Oisat1ected members of Lord Bohun's
Fascist and moribund Popular Socialist
party had seized upon Rudolf Whitlow-
clever ambitious, ruthless young man
with . eift for oratory-as the iogical
man to GUST Bohup from the leadership
and restore the party to life. Rud took
ceit and BY force and made speech
denouncing the British government that
put down poor white" rising. He
called for unity Of the common men OF
both nations and the crowd answered
with cheers. Bohun-a sadist owner
OF g secret torture chamber-was quick
TO diagnose the speech as part of plot
to oust him and determined on a show
down. Both sides agreed to a private
meeting OF the party to decide which
line to follow and both Sides-as Monta-
4ue Abrahams. who printed the tickets
Tor the meeting. discovered-plotted to
pack the meeting with their toughs and
Dominate by sheer muscle. Rud had the

Taste and Baste Club met the second
period in the morning.
The meeting was conducted with
the usual procedure with the president
Shirley Townsend, presiding.
The club decided rather than just
give baskets at Christmas, as they
had always done, to collect all kinds
of old toys and repair them. This
will not only provide pleasure for the
girls but also make some little child
happy. If there is anyone who wants
to give the club any toys we will glad
ly accept them.
AS there was no further business
the meeting was turned over to the
program chairman. The first thing
was a piano solo by Barbara Brown.
Following this there was a discussion
on Problems on Date Night" Five
girls discussed the different questions
that they had prepared which often
arise in a persons mind pertaining
to dates-hours for dates, how often,
behavior on dates, etc. Having dis
cussed their questions the club was
asked if they had any questions to
ask. These were talked over in an
informal way and think everyone has
a clear idea as to what to do.
AS there was no more time a mo-
tion was made for the meeting to ad
journ.

school body.
ASSEMBLY PROGRAM
On Friday, morning, the high school
attended most interesting assem-
bly, in the auditorium; the program
began with a Bible reading and the
Lords Prayer. Following this, sew
eral members of the Sophomore Eng
lish class participated in a most in
teresting debate on the subject: Re-
solved, that the English Grammar
Book by Tressler is more beneficial
to the Sophomore class than the liter
ature book, "On The High Road" The
affirmative participants were Avery
Gordy, Tommy Jones and Sherwood
Ferris, while those debating negative
ly were Maud Adams, Helen Tarr and
George Redden. These students were
very well informed and represented
their class quite well. The judges,
Mrs. William Dennis, Mrs. G. j. Beau
champ and Mrs. Charles Hudson made
their decision in favor of the affirma-
tive side.
The second part of the program
was provided by the Glee Club who
sang two numbers, "Drink To Me
Only With Thine Eyes," and "The
Bulldog On The Bank"
. After announcements by the presi-
Cents of the Student Council and Ath-
letic Association, the school was ap-
pre- priately honored and entertained
with wonderful speech concerning
Education and Citizenship by Mr..
Earl Tromley, Post Commander of
the Worcester Post Number SO of the

HAVE YOU ANY OLD TOYS?

IL
Have you any old toys that you no
longer want? If you have, and If
you would like to see them put to a
good use-give them to a member OF
the Taste and Baste Club. This year
as their Christmas project they are
collecting toys-repairing and clean
ing them and distributing them to
children at Christmas, who would not
otherwise have toys.
So many children are so fortunate
at Christmas time in having toys and
games to make them happy. 1t is
hard to realize that there are some
children who never have play things.
For the past two years the club
members have distributed food at
Christmas. But this year it is their
wish to give a little fun to the young
folks by dressing dolls and repairing
toys for them.
The boys in the Home Work Shop
Club have kindly consented to help
with the repair work that is too diff
cult for the girls to do.
Members of the club will gladly call
for any donations. The following
girls may be notified: Ellen Sirman,
Shirley Townsend, Margaret Godfrey,
Beatrice Adkins, Shirley Haubert.
Won't you help us make some child
a little happier this Christmas?
"HOT LUNCHES"
What you are depends on what you
eat. With this idea in mind the Snow
Hill High School Cafeteria is trying
to provide adequate lunches for every
child in the school. It is so important
that each child receive a hot noon
meal, especially as cold weather is
coming on.
It has been proven through tests
and check ups that children who do not
eat a nourishing lunch are more in
clined to fall down in their school
work in the afternoon classes. They
lack the energy necessary TO con-
centrate on their lessons, this energy
could be provided by nutritious food.
The health program for the school
this year provides for phys. al exam
nations of many of the students with
special attention to the undernourish-
ed ones.

able to buy his lunch. More than 5Snir-
ty children are being given hot vege-
table soup or milk and crackers free
at noon time. The school would like
to serve more lunches without any cost
to the children, but this cannot be
done without the cooperation of the
patrons.
Many people in the community have
an over supply of vegetables such as
potatoes, turnips, onions, etc., that
could be put to such a good use in
providing soup for the children. AS
the Thanksgiving holidays approach
why not make a special effort to con-
tribute your over supply of vegetables
to cause that will promote better
health, clean minds and an equal
chance for the under lourished chill
dren.
