|SMEDLEY ACTING| FOR CIO GROUP
City Employees Engage Counsel to Carry on Ne-
 gotiatiOns for Changes

Attorney Frederic c. Smedley has been named by the Waterbury chapter, State, County, and Muni- cipal Workers union, to negotiate with the city government in re- gard to wages and working condi- tions. The union, a CIO affiliate, has a large membership in the street, sewer and water department.
 Adjustments in wage scales are to be sought in the 194l budget which comes up for discussion after department heads have submitted their next years estimates by Sept. IS. Changes in working conditions will be sought on the basis that they go into effect this year.
 The union was formed here last winter as a unit of the Waterbury Brass Workers Union, pending ap- plication for charter. The charter from the national CIO union was received June l, and the chapter has been functioning independent ly since.
 After initial clashes with Supt. of Public Works Herbert Scott Smith, the union secured several favorable changes in working regulations. James J. McLarney is the president. turn up at the Denham studios where Pascal is filming Major Bar bara" and present the swarthy pro- ducer- director with a new version of a scene.
 To date he has written 60 new scenes. The whole affair has devel- oped into something of a neck-and- neck race between Shaw and the cast to see who'll reach the cutting room first.
 But the cast doesn't seem to mind. Says Wendy Hitler, the Eliza Doolittle of "Pygmalion" who now plays Major Barbara, the salvation army heroine:
 What an experience it is to speak these lines. Shaw provides you with whole speeches instead of scraps and I find that they have a definite rhythm which makes them easy to memorize."
 The admiration is mutual, for Shaw says the cast is doing a good job and Pascal will do for the film what Diagihlev did for the Russian ballet. Pascal is really producing, not murdering. Pascal is a genius" !" KILLER
 AGAIN
 Whether the production will be a box office click is another matter. The story is of munitions king whose philosophy is first make a sufficient income and then practice virtue" This causes 8 rift in his household. One daughter, Barbara, turns to the saving of souls as Salvation Army worker. The story leans heavily toward so- cial significance. And where Shaw is concerned, social significance has seldom paid off.
 Shaw's path to riches in the the ater has been through the use of romantic material staged in other periods. Arms and the Man" took him to the Balkans, Caesar and Cleopatra" took him 2000 years be- hind the times "The Devils Dis ciple," now being revived in London by Robert Donat with indifferent success, to the American revolution;
 "Back to Methuselah" to Adam and Eve.
 1 Pascal is 8 shrewd enough direc- tor not to forget showmanship. There won't be any famous bath tub sequence as in 'Pygmalion." But in Wendy Hitler, Pascal will have an actress with enough charm 1 tn hrnofho uyo y-T,ofh into O no ,.t which has all the allure and sparkle of a laboratory experiment at the Mayo Clinic.

PATRIOTISM
By n. r. W.

10y N. II. W.
Patriotism isn't just marching be-
hind band and putting out your
chest
Patriotism isn't a flash of fire
works one day of the year and then
submerging your emotions the rest
of the year.
Patriotism isn't always found in
the whooping of the crowd or maud
lin fiag-waVing or surface senti-
mentalism.
Patriotism is the sum total of
the three cardinal virtues: Faith,
Hope and Charity. Faith in the
principles of our government, Hope
in the future of democracy, Charity
toward all and malice toward none.
Patriotism is sincere affection
for our own family, devotion to our
relatives and loyalty to our friends
Faithful to the "Old home town"
and pride in our native state.
Patriotism is that spirit that
makes us want to be Of real help to
our neighbors when they are in dis
tress or meet reverses, to extend
our sympathy when they are strick-
en- with grief.
Patriotism is the tugging at our
heart-strings an sincere kinship

LUMINOUS PAINT FOR HIGH
WAY LINE MARKING

Use of so-called luminous paint
for marking the center lines on
heavily travelled roads where the
night accident rate is higher than
it should be, has been launched by
the Ohio department of highways.
The luminous paint actually is a
white paint into which tiny beads
of glass have been mixed. When
spread on the pavements the beam
of automobile headlights at night
throws off sheen that makes the
center line stand out much more
boldly than is the case where ordi-
nary paint without the beads is
used
''By the use of this type of center
! line marking wherever the night
accident rates show a tendency tC
grow, we hope to cut down the mum
| ber of accidents and aid the motor
lists in keeping on their side of the
highways after dark said Harry
E. Neal, chief of the department S
bureau of traffic and safety. ''All
of this will be a factor in helping
to make Ohio the safest state
Careful checks are constantly be-
ing made, Mr.. Neal said, to de-
termine where the night accident
bad spot" is found the luminous
center lining will be applied. This
type of center lining has already
been applied on a number of high
ways.

SCHOOL OF RELIGION
TRINITY CHURCH

The family is the foundation of
our social structure. II the family
life thrives, the community is
strong and the strength of the ma
ton is obvious. The church has a
great influence on the family life of
the community. 1t is with these
ideals in mind that Trinity church
is bringing Mrs. c. II. Hamilton to
McConnelsville next week for five
nights, beginning Sunday. Mrs.
Hamilton lives at Oberlin, and is
the mother of four children. She
is a most friendly person and will
be speaking not about theories
alone but will be sharing some of
her experiences. She has charge of
the Women's Missionary work of
the Christian church of Chic.
We hope that the people of Nor
gan county and McConnelsville will
realize the privilege we will have
this week While the meetings will
be most interesting for younger
married people, any others who care
to come will be welcome. The topics
each evening are: Sunday, par
ents are important; Monday, MAR
riage is a way of life;" Tuesday
Religion begins at home;" Wednes-
day, "Children must grow up;
Thursday, parents in Community
Life Do not forget the time and
place, Trinity church, 1880, Sunday

The Golden Rule, (Armistice Day.,
Luke 6 6:2738, for Sunday, Novem-
ber 10:
In this lesson, Jesus is setting
forth the constitution of the king
dom of God, indicating the kind of
citizens of his kingdom required
and the principles regulative of the
life and attitudes of the followers
of Christ.
v. q. "But l say unto you which
hear, Love your enemies, do good
to them which hate you" This does
not mean that we should take de-
light in enemies as we do in our
relatives or close friends, but it
does mean that we should maintain
a spirit of good will toward all men.
v. %. tBless them that curse
you, pray for them which despite
fully use you Here is the golden
rule of prayer A true Christian
desires the salvation of his worst
enemies. Have you prayed for Hit
Ter?
v. 20. "And unto him that smit-
eth thee on one cheek offer also the
other; and him that taketh away
thy cloak forbid not to take thy
coat also. I1CIc 10 Tic SoiuCh ! u-t-
of patience. The exhortations here
are not to be literally carried out
since Christ courteously rebuked
the one who struck him (John
1892. Rather these teachings
are to be regarded as extreme illus
trations of the kind of spirit which
a Christian should have. ''The more
absolutely we apply the spirit of
the rules, the fewer difficulties
shall we find about the letter. -
Farrar.
V. 80. "Give to every man that
asketh of thee; and of him that
taketh away thy goods ask them
not again" Here is the golden rnle
of philanthropy. Here is broad
and general principle of unselfsh-
ness and liberality safely left to
the common sense of mankind.
V. 81. "And as ye would that
men should do to you, do We also to
them likewise" Here is the golden
rule in practice. In this verse is
couched in few words the cOnstitu-
ton of the kingdom of God. The
golden rule does not consist of many
negatives, but it is positive at ev-
cry point. 1t is easily understood
since one only needs to look at his
own needs.
V. 80. "For if ye love them
which love you, what thank have
We? For sinners also love those
that love them.'' In the next fiye
verses we see the golden rule in
character. The standard of Chris
tian conduct should be higher than
that of sinners, through doing good
to those who treat them ill.
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1940-11-07

v. "a. "And if We lend to them
OF whom ye hope to receive, what
thank have ye? For sinners also
lend to sinners, to receive as much
again" This refers to individuals
dealing with individuals on a
Christian basis of sympathy and
friendship.
V. 35. "But love ye your en-
emies, and do good, and lend, hop
ing for nothing again; and your re-
ward shall be great, and he shall be
children of the Highest; for he is
kind to the unthankful and to the
evil" To be sons of the Highest
is the reward of noble, generous
action. Matthew states more clear
ly how God is kind to the. unthank-
ful by granting them rain and sun
shine.
v, SO. BE ye therefore merci-
full, as your Father also is merci-
full" Because God is God of
mercy, forgiving sins and bestowing
blessings even upon the evil, his
children should be like him. They
should have pity and compassion
upon their fellow men and show
this spirit by their deeds 1t is
God himself who can give us such
spirit if we want it badly enough.
V. 81. Judge not and ye shall
not be judged; condemn not, and ye
shall not be condemned; forgive
and ye shall be forgiven" Here
censorious judging is denounced.
The uncharitable and often unjust
censorship of the motives which
lead to the acts of others, was one
of the practices of the day which
marred all true healthy religious
life. 1t spoils many good work
in our churches today.
V.-38. "Give, and it shall be Civ
en- unto you; good measure, pressed
down and shaken together, and run
ming over, shall men give into your
bosom; for with the same measure
that We mete shall it be measured
to you again. Here is the golden
rule in recompense The great
characteristic of the Christian So
city is generosity; we should be
known as giyers rather than judges.
Boundless generosity, limitless kind
ness to all, saints and sinners
that is what the Master would i'm
press on his followers.

Patriotism is the emotion that
makes a lump rise in our throat
when some intrepid spirit strives to
achieve something that no human
being ever accomplished before.
Patriotism is unashamed at the
moisture that comes yelling up in
our tear-ducts with the passing of
some great and noble soul who un-
selfishly devoted his life to the
cause of mankind or in the service
of our nation.
Patriotism is loving ones coun-
try, respecting it's traditions and
honoring it's people high or low,
rich or poor.
Patriotism is the deep-rooted,
quiet pride of fellowship with a ma
ton of men and women who, by and
large, have high ideals and who
gladly and willingly respond to the
demands on their time and abilities
over and above their regular line Of
duty when our country calls.
