Four Suburbs Added
To Housing Survey

Four Hamilton suburbs will be in
cluded in the low housing project sur

son Kildow, project superintendent for
the Work Projects Administration.
said Monday.
The suburbs are New Miami, Will
liamsdale, Overpeck, and City View

The survey was started November
Is by 20 workers, directed by Kildow.
Enumeration of the west side of Ham,
ilton was completed several days ago,
and house-to-house canvassing has
started in Hamilton proper, East Ham,

The survey is expected to cost ap-
proximately $4,000, of which $4,000
will be provided by the WPA and
$4,000 by the housing authority.

holds true of Japs-
"Some of them are curable; the rest
are killable"-
Which our marines began to dem
onstrate at Wake Island.
Democracy didn't "take' in Ger
many, either
Something is absent in German men
tai and moral structure
Social self-control is something for
eign to them
Democracy" to German minds, is
equivalent to Capitalism
Something inherently related to ex-
ploitation and profits
If the German people did not accept
Hitlerism--
If the "Fuehrer" idea did not fit
their mental structure
They would, before now, be doing
what the Greeks and Norwegians
are
Mobs will do anything
Under the drive of a leader-a
Fuehrer-
But when mobs stop long enough to
think, they ego democratic"-
They then get control of themselves,
personally and socially
And social self-control' is the es-
sence of democracy
Calling forth to action the most es-
sential human capacities
That is why: Eternal vigilance is
the price of Liberty
And that is why the Hitlers, big
and little
Don't like labor unions, and collec-
tive bargaining.

THE -
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes fippantIy, some
times recklessIy. =.

Peaceful streets, except perhaps for
new sharpening of gait.
But men and women going here and
there, safely. No bombs falling.
Take a good look at the scenes of
peacefulness. You may want to re-
member them.
But behind the scenes something
new to America is going on.
Civilian Defense means something
now. A month ago lot of folks were
looking with something like humorous
smiles at those who talked Civilian
Defense. There were even some sneers.
Folks trying to grab the limelight.
But not any more.
Civilian Defense today is a serious
thing and it calls for a lot of hard
work to be done in hurry.
Men and women are giving time,
free, regularly, doing a job for all of
US. Thank them for it.
4
But how little they can do, as COM
pared to what should be possible.
Where are there air raid shelters +?
Where are the gas masks?
They do not exist and they cannot
be built with speed, in quantity.
When the blasts come, civilians will
have to stand and take it, mostly.
There won't be much else to do.
So, the main job of Civilian Defense
is to organize for putting out fires
caused by incendiary bombs, for pre-
venting panic, for rescue and emer-
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1941-12-26

gency treatment of the buried and the
hurt.
And to prepare against enemy ac-
tion in creating havoc in or before air
attacks. For this job and for others,
thousands of auxiliary police are being
sworn in and trained. They will be
unpaid, and their organizers and train
ers likewise will be unpaid. 1t is a
patriotic job.
Since we couldn't have foresight, it
is good that we are working so fast
now that the hellish attack has come
to US.
Every civilian, going about his Ci-
william Defense job, can remember
Pearl Harbor. That phrase-Remem-
Der Pearl Marlborough to go on
every badge and shield and commits
sion for Civilian Defense service.
When American cities are hit, they
will be hit with the same effort to
blast sleeping, unwarned, defenseless
civilians. We shall find Pearl Harbor
tactics ruling the conduct of the
enemy.
1t doesn't do to say "My city will
not be hit" Nobody can know what
city will be hit, or how.
Blows can come from sources other
than the sky.
The one safe rule is, everywhere,
BE ALERT.
Don't go crazy, but don't get caught
off guard BE ALERT, and trained.
| 1t seems to me that unions can per-
form great service in Civilian De-
fense, because they are organized
bodies, with a good deal of discipline.
Organization and discipline mean a
lot That's why armies fight better
than mobs.
Every union can and should take
stock of it's opportunities and give
the best it has in service for Ci-
william Defense. In many places or
ganized labor unquestionably can
take the leadership and do the
best job.
| Also, every union member has an
Identification card on him-his union
card. It's like regimental identifi-
cation. Also, in this critical time,
when you see man wearing union
button, you know that his depend
ability is away better than average.
Never did union membership mean
more or offer greater opportunity
to serve the cause of human freedom.
Garry that opportunity to it's farth-
est lengths. Make it count-for organ
ized labor and freedom can live only
in victory over dictatorship.-C. M. w.

shots, just to show them
Then left them a treaty, which they
could take or leave
Next time America knocked at their
doors
Japan said, "Come in" and began
to learn western ways
Not the old Spanish method, of con-
quest, robbery, slaughter
For which they are now giving us
their form or gratitude.
Japar's foreign trade
Increased over 1000 times, between
1870 and 1896
From 40 million yen, to 5,456 million
yen, in that time
In 1885 their commerce with U. S. A.
totaled ,344 million yen
Over one-fourth of their total for
eign commerce that year
We took one-third Of her total ex-
ports
First we pitied her; then petted her;
then pampered her
But the little brown men couldn't
take it, somehow.
Civilization was something to which
they were immune
They thought it meant science, ma
chimes, profits, war-power-
In 80 years, they failed to get the
key to Anglo-Saxon civilization
But when Nazis came along, they
took to them like ducks to water.
Japan's population is 70 million
About the same as Germany, before
Hitler
What Churchill said of the latter
