Federal

Democracy
She Warns

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn
Federal assistance to the
states in solving the twin
problems of health and edu-
cation which form barriers
to "equal opportunity for a.
children in the south" was
endorsed by Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt in am impassioned
address here Monday night.
The First Lady, who was
the keynote speaker of the
three day second annual
Southern Conference for HUI
man Welfare, led the panel
discussion on Children in the
South"
"Every child, regardless Of
race, should have an equal oppor-
tunity to develop his native abil-
tiles to the fullest" Mrs. Roose-
Welt asserted, adding that they
are not now getting that chance.
Citing the poor health facili-
ties now existing for the great
masses of southern people, the
Presidents wife declared that in
her opinion this formed the chief
stumbling block in the path OF
that onportunitV.
She suggested as a sound So
luton, the giving of federal as
sistance to those localities not
now affording medical care to all
citizens, leaving the control of the
institutions which the govern
ment would build in the hands
of those localities.
The same assistance should be
given those communities whose
educational facilities for ali chill
dren, fall below the national
standard, she said.
Accepted by many Of her hear
ers as tacit endorsement of the
present fight to wipe out poll
taxes in the eight Southern states
still having them. Mrs. Roosevelt,

Monument
Unveiled To
Lee BattIe
Bv A STAFF WRITER

ATLANTA, Ga.-(SNS)-
On Monday, Forsyth, Georgia,
was the scene of the unveiling Of
a monument to the late Lee Battle
who for forty years worked as a
janitor at Mercer University. DR..
Louie D. Newton, Atlanta pastor
and Alumnus Of Mercer, presided
as master of ceremonies. The prln-
cipal address was delivered by
Judge John B. Guerry of the Geor-
gia Court of Appeals.
In MS brief, but able summary
Judge Query made differential be-
tween those who reach greatness
through service and those who
climb up by the ways of honor and
high office. His tribute was to a
fine man, as he said. "a man who
had attained greatness through
| loyalty, honesty and kindness" He
closed in the fine lines of Tenny-
son:
Kind deeds are more than clairo-
nets
And thoughts than Norman blood.
In a few months there will bt
installed in the chapel OF Mercel
the Lee Bait lie chimes. These
chimes will toll the hours and pla!
the hymns of the ages. In then
will be embalmed forever the sac
red memory of a great man Wh'
used what he had well and through
the humble channels OF service at
tained an honor that will proclaim
his noble name long after thous
ands of Alumni and faculty mem
= oers are forgotten.
Well did Daniel Defoe write:
"Recollect that trifles make per

And perfection is no trifle."

Salem, O.-Every year Salem holds
a patriotic day for the benefit of the
merchants. This year patriotism was
the theme and all merchants were ask
ed to decorate their floats and win
dows accordingly.
Local Union No. AZ walked off with
third prize of fifteen dollars for their

Many of the members were disappoint-
ed because we didn't take first prize
but considering our float only cost
eight dollars and the first prize win
ner cost $2O0.00-well that should ex-
plain it. Next year we will walk off
with top honors.

Conference Report Contract Signed BY
Fills l. u. No. 20 Hall Woodbine Laundry
Conference Committee And
Executive Board Given
Vote Of Thanks

Minerva, O.-Here is the same old
story from Local Union No. 70, only
told in a different way. Our article
has been appreciated by it's absence,
but we hope that the renewal of its
appearance will instill the members
with a sense of duty strong enough
to bring them out to the meeting and
get first hand version of the doings
of that body.
The last two meetings have been
presided over by substitutes in the
absence of Brother Sn1nllwood who is
in New York working at the Fair.
Brother Becknell filled the chair for
the September 13 meeting and Sister
Scott for September 27.
The hall was filled for the confer
ence report which was very well de-
livered by Brother Becknell. We feel
we owe the Executive Board and all
of the entire conference committee a
vote Of appreciation for the effort they
put forth for the entire trade and there
should be no back biting remarks from
the rank and file in regard to their
efforts. They did better job than
you or | could do and all the assist
ance we can render in the furtherance
of the things they have started is an
obligation we should be anxious to
carry out.
The decal girls here have settled
their price controversy on the new
pattern and everything is going fine
in the decorating department. The
hour schedule is rather irregular but
due to the change in the Federal law,
the firm is trying to find a logical
solution to the forty-hour set up. The
rest Of the shop is not on full time,
but the outlook for increased pro-
duction seems favorable, as we seem
to be moving stock fast.
The committees on uniformity have
all been appointed and we know that
they will gather the required data as
fast as possible.
Sister Scott gave a report Of the
proceedings of the Ohio State Fedora
ton of Labor convention and the out
look for increased labor legislation
is promising.
Why there is not larger repre-
sentation from the Ceramic workers
at this convention is a question. 1t
brings together great group of peo-
pie who are striving to advance our
trades and conditions for US and as
we are all laborers in the greatest
industrial state in this country we
surely should try to support and ad-
vance the greatest labor activity in
our state.

selves resolutely to the achievement
of the brotherhood of man under the
Fatherhood of God throughout our
own land. This is a goal worthy of
any effort.
"Particularly we urge Protestants,
Catholics and Jews in every American
community to work together in mutual
trust and confidence on projects of
common concern to them as citizens
of free land.
Finding homes for refugee chill
dren, helping the work of the Red
Cross, obtaining jobs for the unem-
ployed, securing better recreation and
health facilities, and combating the
causes Of crime-all these are prob
lens which should command the at
tention of citizens of every faith. They
can be solved democratically by joint
action on the part of all Americans
and to solve them is the most effective
answer democracy can make to to-
talitar;anism."
The appeal was made public by
Franklin E. Parker, Jr., co-chairman
of the New York round table Of
Christians and Jews. 1t was circu-
lated in 1000 communities throughout
the nation
