Driver Souqht

Ell Centro police were baked
Thursday in an attempt to trace
a hit and run suspect whose car
carried the license number 24W986.
j. H. Saizan of 467 Hamilton
avenue complained that Wednesday
a woman driver ran into his parked
car and drove away without giving
her name.
Police were unable to trace the
registration through the normal
channels at Sacramento because
new license numbers have not yet
been correlated. 1t will be at least
two weeks before they can obtain
the owners name.

The state CLIO council had
called for about 200, but 800 or
more showed up, and il the
work of the Dayton delegation
is a sample, all the senators and
representatives were contacted
not once but several times, and it
is known for a fact that we made
an impression on the House of
Representatives, as the Majority
leader, viciously opposed to Ia
Dor, accused one of the repre-
sentatives of staging a show for
another bill. The Majority leader
was, as usual, mistaken.
It is very evident hat Labor
will get absolutely nothing out of
the Gath General Assembly of
Ohio if the party in power can
prevent it, and we all have some
work ahead of us, especially to
work on the various committees,
who are the chief cause of the
Sailing. It is only fair to say that
we are getting support from quite
a few Republicans, as well as
Democrats, but the opposition
comes, not from either party as
such, but from the selected key
men stuck in there by big bust
ness, employers associations, ma
tional manufacturers association
and the like. It is urged, there
fore, that the legislative commit
tees roll up their sleeves, and let's
all "go to town."
Delegates from Dayton were: L.
Haskell, Delco Products; George
Meyer, Bob Mansfield, Frigidaire;
Ralph Cherry, Tressler Lewis,

Here's something for the "die-
hard" boys, who have difficulty
in -scraping up their union dues.
We have heard ALL the alibis
possible to INVENT, in Sinking
this necessary duty, so let's look
into a few ways and means to
overcome them.
I'll cite my own case in this
matter of dues payments, how
I feel about them, and why /
gladly pay them.
During the process of or
ganization, and BEFORE our
goal was reached In signing
of the contract with the Com
pany, I was a very enthusiastic
young man, who was looking
forward to a better wage, a
better treatment by manage
ment, and real honest to good
ness working conditions.
Now that these conditions are
at hand and available, my en-
thusiasm has not diminished, but
has grown stronger through our
first success. Thus I am more
than willing to pay my dues and
keep our Union alive with active
members, so that we can retain
the gains we have made for years
to come. I would really hate to
lapse into a false sense of security
at this early date, by forgetting
to pay my dues and not keep a
constant eye on Union activities.
1t would be a travesty to re-
vert back to pre-Union days
again. And that's the inevitable
if we do not keep our welfare in
mind at all times. So, union men,
if you sincerely value the gains
made through organization, you
will never allow your dues to lag
behind. It is our only means of
assuring ourselves of continued
progress in lettering our lives as
workers.
To date, you have received
your reward in wage increases,
grievance procedure and sen
iority rights, 80 do mot be q
free rider" when ii comes to
paying dues. The dues are a
very small percentage Of the
gains you have made and re-
member this, "Tfat o paid-up
union man IL the happiest man
ut work"
Those that are not paid up are
constantly lodging their better
selves to their own discomfort.
So let's pay up boys and work
happily together. After ali, we
have only 50 long to live in this
world, and living It in misery
and injustice to our fellow-mem-
bers, just isn't what its cracked
up to b. Who should know better

There is a grievance concerning
three maintenance men at Air
temp that has been given the run
around by management for three
weeks to date, that deserves a
little space here. There has been
a Deliberate breach of contract on
the part of management through
their having these three men start
the week ON Tuesday 50 that man
agernent can avoid overtime pay
rlent on Saturday. Management
claims that these hours are neces-
sary to take care of Saturdays
work. Yet they have worked reg
ular hourly men overtime on Sat
urday, not paying any attention
to the fact that these three par
ticular men were to take care ol
Saturday work. Management fails
to work these three men overtime
on Monday. This is plain discrim-
nation. To date, no solution has
been offered by management. VS.

West opened the four of hearts,
South winning with the king Then,
with strength and length in both
clubs and diamonds, South wondered
which suit to develop. If he devel-
oped the diamonds, the opponents
would take the diamond ace and
lead another heart, removing
South's last stopper in that suit.
Then, with two hearts and four dia-
monds, South would still need three
clubs to make his contract. Hence.
he would need a successful club
fineSSe, since loss of the club fineSse
would let the opponents run the
rest of the hearts.
But, South saw, if the club fineSse
was needed, he might do better to
develop the clubs than to work Sc
riouSly on the diamonds. And since
entries to dummy were needed for
club illnesses, South decided to use
the diamond suit for that purpose.
At the second trick, therefore,
South led the queen of diamonds,
overtaking with dummy's king. East
refused to win the trick, and dummy
returned a club for a successful fin
esse. South next led another dia-
mond TO dummy'S ten, and East
again refused the trick. Another club
tlnesse then paved the way for the
cashing of the entire suit, and South
made his contract with five clubs
and two tricks in each red suit.

A series of educational radio pro- grams planned by the U. s. Of- flee of Education and finance by a Rosenwald Foundation grant will dramatize Negro contributions to American life.
 The programs, to be broadcast na- tionally, Will portray the role Me- groes have played in American edu- cation, art, science, industry, and other fields of endeavor, U. 8. Com missioner of Education John w, Studebaker reported today.
 The radio series Is being pre- pared under the general direction of Ambrose Caliver, U. 6. Office of Education Specialist in the Edu- cation of Negroes and William D.. Boutwell,, Chief, Division of Radio, Publications, and Exhibits.
 Plans for the project call for transcriptions of the program for use in schools, colleges and by local radio stations. The transcriptions, and the radio scripts revised as lesson units and study guides, are expected to be used by both white and Negro schools in courses or units of instruction about Negroes in the United States.
 Commissioner Studebaker said today that this is & most important undertaking of the office of edu- cation in behalf of all Negroes who have had @ part in the develop ment of our national culture. we shall do our utmost to report &C., curate and full information about constructive activities and accom-. plishments of Negroes in this radio series," said the Commissioner Much of this information is not

 The Cheshire reformatory has been mentioned for some time as possible site for a New Haven Coun- ty jail farm, if the legislature should vote to have jail farms replace the present county jails.
