1t is unthinkable, for example,
that the onslaught against the
scourge of Infantile Paralysis be
slowed down because of the bar
barism of raging war.
The battle against Infantile
Paralysis is a constructive one,
fought in the name of child and
adult victims.

fused with the type of mind
which condemns a dog-lover on
the grounds that there are needy

to assume that there is sufficient
human mercy to go around.
The same psychology is often
applied to the exigencies of war.

LIONS CLUB saw
COLORED MOVIES
OF FLORIDA KEYS
OVER 1000 FEET DISPLAYED;
EXCELLENT ADVERTISE
MENT FOR KEY WEST: WY.
OMING LIONS ENTERTAIN

A commercial photographer
with a host of beautiful, colored-
movie shots of the Keys, and
two visiting Lions from the State
of Wyoming provided one of the
most interesting programs ever
enjoyed by the Lions Club, in
session last evening at Stone
Church Annex with Lion Presi-
dent H. E. Day in the chair.
Louis L. Louft, visitor to Key
West and the Keys for the past
five years, an ardent photograph
er with a knack for taking just
the kind of pictures that prove
highly interesting to anyone, has
assembled approximately 1000
feet of colored movies of almost
every feature of life on the Keys.
Many more hundreds of feet
were taken by Mr.. Louft, but
only the best shots, all assembled
IN wonderful sequence, have been
put together to produce what, in
the opinion of all witnesses of
the pictures last night, is believ-
cd TO be one of the best adver-
tisements of Key West and the
Keys ever seen.
Scenes of the highway, the
bridges and various shots of the
Keys are shown, all depicting
either the exquisite water color
lngs or beautiful skies. Then a
few hundred feet are shown of
human-angle views in Key West,
including a veritable florist shop
of all the highly-colored foliage
found here.
Of intense interest were the
shots depicting the life of sport
fisherman. Mr.. Louft, himself
an expert angler, was hero of
several of these Shots-pictured
while reeling in, first, a Sailfish,
then all other varieties of the
huge game fish found in these
waters.
The author stated to the club
that the pictures would, no doubt,
be responsible for creating much
interest in Key West and the
Keys in that he planned to show
them to hundreds of people up
north, especially in Washington,
D. c., his home town.
Desmond Phillips, of Lyman,
Wyoming, and c. Walter Cald-
well, of Mountain View, Wyom-
ing, both members of the Lyman
Lions Club, were the guests who
contributed to the well-rounded-
out program. Lion Phillips, with
his wife, and Lion Caldwell ar
rived on the SIS. Cuba from Ha-
vana yesterday. Both brought
greetings from their far. off state
to the ''Southernmost Lions Club
in the U. S."
Lion Caldwell delighted local
Lions with highly amusing dis
course on, first, his travels to
meet Lion and Lioness Phillips
in Jacksonville, made especially
a problem owing to cancelled air
line schedules in the west and
central states recently, and sec

Duffys S Statement
Provokes Comment
Opinion Of Writers Divided
On Campaign For
Presidency

Many letters have been received by
this office regarding the statement
released last week by President James
M. Duffy Of the National Brotherhood
of Operative Potters in support Of
the campaign of Wendell l.. Willkie
for the presidency of the United
States.
There were practically as many
writer's who did not agree with Mr..
Duffy as there were those who did
agree. There is not sufficient space
in this issue of the Potters Herald to
print all of the letters, and, it is felt,
it would be unfair to pick out one
here and there for publication. In
fairness to all concerned, none of the
letters will be reprinted.
One fact that appears to have es-
capped a couple of the writer's is that
an official Of the National Brother
hood of Operative Potters retains all
of the rights and franchises held by
any other citizen of the United States.
The statement given out by Presi-
dent Duffy was his own personal
views which he had every right to
express since freedom of speech is
the very foundation of this great
country.

Salem, O.-More than sixty men,
bers of Local Union No. az attended
the last meeting to join in the cele-
bration of the locals birthday. Large
servings of oyster stew hit the spot
just right and had everyone in trim
to tear off a few polkas to the ex-
cellent music Of the three-piece or
chestra.
There was plenty of fun to go
around for everybody. One of the
highlights of the evening was the
committees rendition of a song. That
was truly good.
Six new members were initiated, but
the guard forgot to bring the wild
goat so we had to be content with
giving them the usual obligation.
Brother Roy Balsley is getting
along fine following an operation. He
is just like all the rest of the potters

mind you that these are dangerous
times. There is war gazing US right
in the face if we do not take the prop
er steps to prevent it. We can lose
our freedom Of press, religion and
speech just as other countries have
done.
Personally, l believe jobs could be so
plentiful you should be able to quit
one and start on another in five
minutes. President Duffy's statement
that was so widely circulated last week
was we'll received by members of both
political faiths who believe that out
of 140,CCO,0OO people only one man
has the brains to lead this great
country. Naturally, there were some
who did not agree with the statement,
but l wish they would read the article
point-by point and weigh the facts.

Minerva, O.-Local Union No. 70
met at six thirty last Friday evening,
under the able guidance of their
worthy president, Bud Smallwood. A
rather small turnout was there to
discuss many important items Of in
terest to the shop. The clay shop has
an extremely interesting question up,
pertaining to the women finishing
casted ware. This seems to be caus-
ing a lot of trouble here in Minerva
and to date there has been no action
taken.
There have been three apprentice
liners put on the bench and one kiln
hand on the decorating kiln. We are
glad to see these youngsters getting
a chance to learn a trade They have
all been members of the local for
some time and it seems that we need
some young activity in some of our
local meetings. The only way to get
it is to depend on the youth in the
trades.
The local went on record to sup
port the civic enterprise now under
way in Minerva, namely the Com
munity Chest Drive We have asked
that labor have a voice in the COM
mittee The officials of the local en-
dorsed the drive, so let every member
in the shop keep the good work up
by giving it your financial help as
well.
With the business taken care of in
short order, we adjouvnei ths. meet

Committee Supports

Washington, D. C. (speciaD-Re-
election of Congressman Earl R.
Lewis Of the 18th Ohio district was
urged today by the Good Government
National Committee, the National
civic body which supports candidates
of both major parties "on the basis
of their personal fitness for the office
sought"
In announcing this non-partisan
support for Lewis, the Chairman of
endorsement committee, Richard A.
Staderman, declared: "At no time
within our memory have we seen a
Congressman build a record more
rapidly than has Earl R. Lewis. We
commend most heartily the conscien-
tious way in which the Ohio congress
man has served the best interests of
his district. In voting against the
SMITH AMENDMENTS to the Wag-
ner Labor Act, he supported what la
Dor leaders told him was the lifeline of
the American Labor Movement; it
certainly took a man with an open
mind toward labor to do this, in view
of the fact that only one Representa-
tive from Ohio of his party affiliation
voted thusly and that man was Earl
R. Lewis. We commend also his in
PRODUCTION of bills to protect the ever
harassed WPA worker, and to stabilize
the WPA wage in his State.
For the businessman of his dis
trct he has tried to secure new in
dustry for the upper Ohio River Valley
and assist in getting government de-
fense contracts for the present indus
try that is located there. For the
manufacturer he has fought and still
is fighting for higher protective
tariffs to protect the Great Home
Markets of America for the manu-
facturer For the coal miner and op-
orator he has offered a bill to tax the
imported foreign coal and fuel oil
which is attempting to cripple this
great Ohio River Valley industry. We
feel certain that both miner and oper-
ator alike will in some way benefit
from this proposed piece of legislation.

Baltimore, Md-The fortieth ami
versary of the founding of Local 2S
of the International Brotherhood Of
Electrical Workers was celebrated
here at meeting in which local
State and Federal public officials
joined with labor. The celebration
described as one of the most impress
sive in the history of Baltimore Ia
Dor, included a birthday banquet at
the Lord Baltimore Hotel, sightsee-
ing tour and other festivities.
The chief speaker at the banquet
was President Ed ]. Brown Of the
Brotherhood, who told of remarkable
gains in membership, working stand
ards and influence made by the Elec-
trical workers in recent years and
ascribed this to cooperation between
the union and employers. Such CO.
operation, he said, will assure further
progress.
Brown also declared that it is the
Brotherhood's aim to free its ranks
of all subversive elements and he
urged all locals to assist.
"Our locals should have the cour-
age" he said, ''to bar from member
ship anyone subscribing to any ism
other than Americanism."
Other speakers included the Broth
erhood's former chief, Dan w. Tracy
now assistant secretary of labor; its
counsel, Isaac Lobe Straus, former
attorney general of Maryland, and
such public figures as Senator George

Predict Two Million
New Jobs For l94l
Defense Expansion Expected
To Hike Employment
Over 40 Figure

Washington, D. C.-The Bureau of
Agriculture Economics predicted that
American business and industrial ac-
tivity in 1941, influenced largely by
national defense spending, should ex-
pand to the extent of employing at
least 100000 more persons than in
1910.
Such an increase, when coupled
with prospective enlargement Of the
armed forces under conscription,
should, the bureau said, reduce the
nations unemployment rolls - which
it placed at between 100000 and
0,OO0-by about 100000 persons.
These forecasts were contained in
the bureaus annual outlook report on
economic conditions for the year
ahead.
Other developments forecast in
cluded "higher wholesale prices, some
wage increases, improved domestic
demand for some farm products, an
increase in steel production to the
record levels of 1916, 1917 and 1929"
a modest" improvement in textile
plOuuCIlOIl, d HISl CcloC
in heavy construction, and further
slump in agricultural exports.
The bureau explained that it's fore
casts were based on the defense pro-
gram as now projected and upon the
assumption that the European war
would continue.
The bureau said that industrial ex-
ports to Great Britain should increase
if that nation continues the fight with
Germany. 1t is believed, the bureau
added, that the British have sufficient
buying power to finance any possible
purchases of industrial products in
this country during 1941.
The defense program already is
having "a very stimulating effect
upon general business sentiment and
indirectly upon lines of industrial ac-
tivity not directly benefited by de.
