Barber Genasco roofing materials

appearance of these Genasco roof

these asphalt shingles can be made

 Now Chile arrests six prominent leaders of pro- totaltarian activity and seizes cache of in Puerto Montt.
 All this in two weeks time. It is, of course possible that some South Ameri- leaders are using the pretext suppression of Axis activity to dispose of embarrassing opponents But it is likely that any dissident elements in South American countries would look to Berlin for help-as was the case in Bolivia in July.
 The prompt action of neighbors to the south shows that the Germans aren't proceeding with their usual diplomatic fnesse in dealing with Latin American countries Possibly they anxious to create diversion to distract interest from the Battle of the Atlantic. More, it shows that the Good Neighbor policy, with all it's faults, is working-that Latin Americans are anxious to please this country, that they longer so anxious to avoid giving offense to the Axis.

MAY THERE ALWAYS BE A
 LABOR DAY

The first Labor Day celebrated in this country 57 years ago, and before that laborng groups in Europe held parades and talked of labor problems every year on the first day of May.
 But it's doubtful if before in the history of this country or the world either any Labor Day held as deep significance as does the will observe next Monday.
 Not that any history making action on the part of Americas laboring is slated to take place on that day AS in the past it will be day of par ades, speeches and picnics all the land
 As in the past, too, it will be a day when America pays respects to the men who make the wheels of industry turn But in the past has it been so vtally necessary to the nation, and the world that American industrial wheels be kept turn ing and be made to turn faster.
 In most of continental Europe this year there is no Labor Day, fact that adds dramatic signif- canoe to our own observation of the day dedicated to the working
 No, in Hitler's Europe there is Labor Day, but every day is "laboring day" for thousands of men and women and children. These people dare not voice any request to employers for better work ing conditions, for shorter hours for wage increases, or for vacations There would be little satisfaction in it if they did protest their fate, for their em- ployers themselves dare not express any opinion garding the work being done in the plants they operate. Employees and employers brought to- gether, not over friendly conference table, but in common fear of secret police and in the knowledge of imprisonment in concentration camp or death before firing squad which, awaits anyone who dares protest against the dictates of the Nazi inner circle
 In the freedom of the America in which we live, justly be proud in these days when dictator ship crushes much of the world And that pride is better expressed at any time, than in our observation of Labor Day this year, when many of our workmen engaged at jobs in manufac turing plants turning out defense products and products to help whip those forces the seas
