 Plan for Secret Ballot

Naugatuck, May 9--A regular meeting of the local unit of the Unit cd Rubber Workers of America, a CIO afnliation, will be held at 2:3o Sunday afternoon at Linden park hall to discuss plans for the election in the U. s.

 A publication of the United Rub- Der Worker unit here, issued yester- day, asserts the election twill open the way for the union to negotiate a contract with the company for higher wages, bonus for night work, better working conditions, put @ check on speed-up, improved sen- iority plan and many other benefits for the workers"
 There will be watchers represent ing the company and the union at the voting place, and in addition, it is expected there will be agents rep- resenting the National Labor Rela- tionS board.

What a Guy Thinks About In a Hospital Bed
Special to The Democrat.)

NSRSSsSs w AMV DGHhVGEAySy
 Station Hospital, Camp Edwards, Mass.-Dear Boss: Three weeks
 ago. if you remember, that hospital assignment where got that inter- view with End Lieut.. Alice Young, ! was Q gay and healthy young fellow.
 Today I'm sitting up in bed re- cuperating from Q hernia opera ton.
 There was something I omitted in my last hospital story and that was the behind the scenes details, because l was not e patient at tho time. Especially in Ward 103 where your reporter IS confined. The ward is under the supervision of lst Lieut.. Jack Jururtz, a for mer Brookline, Mass, surgeon and graduate of Tufts College. He is quite familiar with the boys at Bauby's Beach. Then, of course, the unsung angels of mercy de- serve plenty of plauditS for their untiring work. There are three Florence Nightingales" attached to this ward and they are under the direct supervision of the charming End Lieut. Olive Sylvia, who was formerly Q night super visor in one of the Massachusetts, hospitals. To complete the nurs. ing staff in Ward 103 there are 2d Lieuts. Anne Tori and Leona Cote, two lovely women in white who work with amazing efficiency and truly are 6 credit to the United states Army.
 Parents of men in the service never need fear of their offspring not receiving the best of medical care.
 Enlisted men arc given every preference in regairing their health after a hernia or appendix operation. Special diets are pro- vided, the orderlies are we'll trained in their duties and they give you plenty of everything. Fruit juices are plentiful here.
 Of course, in every hospital tragedy enters upon the scene such as the young corporal. Smith, who died from an accidental gun wound.
 That was when the real Army spirit was shown, the medicos and the nurses worked feverishly in trying to save the young corporalS life. But fate had willed 1t that he should go on to greater glory. But our hats are of to the doc- tors and nurses who worked with untiring efforts in trying to save the lad.
 The wards are large, airy, and the hunks are very comfortable. At the present time workmen are putting the finishing touches on the screens on the porches. From all appearances, it's much better than 8 Bear Mountain health re- sort, no kidding.
 Well, boss, this is my fifth day here and don't know when they are going to let me out, so I thought I would ramble of this news letter to you.
 So, it's regards to all the gang and further publication of the camp gossip will have to be post poned from this end until Tin back on the road to recovery.
 So-long for awhile,

size of the crowd. Toppenish took
two rooters buses and fair repre-
sentation of the downtown fans
were on hand. Kennewick looked as
though they had declared a legal
holiday so that the fans would see
the game. ~
After reading this if you come to
the logical conclusion that I must
nave missed some of the finer points
OF the affair you are not wrong.

plenty of seats so took one beside

asked If that seat was taken. Did
you ever watch a game with six
people on your lap?
Bob Smith and his one handed
turn shots were not going in top
form or a different final score
might have come through. If this

something that came out of an
auto plate department i'm July.
Ray Normile. Kennewick mentor.
made the statement to this column
some time back that Toppenish was
headed for the state tourney and
they would be fine candidate to
represent this conference. Normile
naturally wasn't going to come out |
and tell me what fine ball club he |
has, but he must feel the same way |
about his club that this column does. |
The Lions wouldn't let us down over
IN Seattle should they come out on
top in the valley tourney and get a
crack at the state affair.
It seemed a bit ironical that on
he programs handed out at the
'ame that they not only listed the
position and numbers of the Kenne-
wick squad, but also the age of
ach player was given. Superin- 1
endent Black obviously has a fair
ense of humor. |,

Tires burning. Toppenish isn't going

Tonight the Lions are going To
have plenty to handle when they

are at the moment in a stall in

Notwithstanding the so called
guaranty of freedom of worship" in
the Soviet Constitution, religion has
been relentlessly prosecuted in Rus
STA during the whole period Of the
Communist regime.
Not only have churches been de-
filed and desecrated or destroyed
Not only have religious orders
been dissolved and deprived of their
lawful property
Not only have ministers of rei-
gion been exiled to Siberia or exc
cuted--
Through its monopoly Of educa-
ton the Soviet Government has
TAUGHT G0BtESSNESS to the
children of Russia;
Through its puppet society, the
League Of the Goddess, the Soviet
Government has spread the poison
Gus doctrine Of atheism across the
land;
And every means of propaganda
has been employed to deride religion,
and to deprive the people of any
knowledge Of the counsels of religion,
or of any desire for its consultations.
A part Of this propaganda - OBJ
served by travellers in Russia twenty
years ago and longer - has been to
placard public buildings with flam-
boyant and blasphemous posters pur-
porting to "expose" religion as the
"opiate Of the Masses" unscrupu-
lousy used by their "exploiters" asa
means Of holding them in economic
slavery"
The pictures on this page are au-
thentic reproduction Of two-ONLY

ion which have been Haunted to the

SAINT campaign against religion.
