A E HAVE a big crop of prunes
wv still on hand as the summer
begins - and it is said that
Americans think of prunes only in
terms OF winter time and of breakfast
time. This, however, is an exaggera-
ton, for we have been served prunes
Tor dessert at dinner in one of New
York's toniest private houses. We
have seen them played up big on the
menus of famous and expensive res
taurants. And prunes are just as good
and just as appropriate in the sum-
mer as in the winter. But it is true
that in many American households
We seem to be rather unskiliful and
very unirnaginative about using them.
That is too bad on several scores,
especially today when economy is so
extremely important - for prunes
are cheap. We are contributing great
deal of our money to buy planes, ships,
guns, tanks; housing, clothing, food
for an army and navy, as the nation
welcomes another summer and the
American Way of Life goes on. The
summer seems even sweeter than in
other years, and the American Way
infinitely more precious. But it will
take a great deal of doing, in every
American home, if we are to continue
to live as nicely, eat as we'll So it is
important for us to use skillfully any
great, inexpensive crop, like this of
prunes.

Straight From
The Shoulder
By DIR. CHARLES STELZLE

It's a common complaint on the
part Of some men that they never had
a fair show-that somebody's always
working against them. But the
chances are that the men who won
out had to fight against bigger odds
than the man who lost out, because
the farther along you get, the bigger
the obstacles become. There's this
satisfaction, however, the earlier con-
ficts give a man the training and ex-
perience to help him win in the
greater struggles that are sure to
come later.
Success is a matter of personal
mighty few of US who may not reach
the goal of our ambition-if we're
willing to pay the price. But it's so
much easier to quit when the job be-
comes difficult. Those who succeed
get there principally because they
hang on-hang on when others let go.
1t isn't because they possess more
originality, or because they have
greater knowledge. It's because they
stay on the job-that's all.
Doing nothing just because you
can't do what you want to do is a
fatal error. If you do the first thing
that turns up, no matter how simple
it may be, it is sure to lead to the
next job-and it's likely to be bet
ter one, provided that you made good
on the last one. We've been told to
"hitch our wagon to the stars" but
it's always a good thing to keep the
wheels on the ground.
It's usually in the little things that
most men fall down-in the day by
day tests Of character Whether you
can get on with others, and give credit
to whom it belongs, and speak in an
even tone when there's provocation to
shout in anger, and whether you are
/ giving to others what you expect of
/ them-an absolutely square deal
! these are some Of the things that
show what kind Of a man you are.
1t is comparatively easy for six
men to live together in harmony. 1t
is harder for six hundred men to live
together IN perfect peace. But When
it comes to hundred million of US
every one of whom thinks he's as
good as any other man, if not a lit
tie bit better-it's a serious matter to
get teamwork" out Of the nation.
And that's what we're facing in this
country. In a democracy every man
has pretty definite responsibility to-
ward every other man. The only way
to succeed is TO have every man con-
stitute himself committee of one to
watch himself so that he plays fair
with every other man.

Wages Still Below
Heulth Standards
AFL's Monthly Check States
Buying Power 30c Below
Minimum Needed

Washington, D. c. Although
strong labor unions have lifted the
wage level considerably since 1884,
accompanying higher profits in indus
try which reached a recovery peak Of
IL per cent this spring, the income
Of workers is still Inadequate to pro-
vide recognized necessary living
standards, according to the May issue
Of Labor's Monthly Surrey, A. f. of
l.. publication.
"Wages are still far below the min
imum necessary to support family
of five in health and efficiency" the
Survey said. "This minimum is ap-
proximately $4,000 a year, or $1.O0
per hour for forty hour week with
full employment.
The average buying power Of one
hours work has been lifted from 80
cents in 1893 to 10 cents in March
1871, first by n. X. A., then by union
drives. But even at 70 cents it is
still 80 cents below the minimum
needed to give a family adequate food,
shelter, clothing, medical care and
other necessaries Of an American
standard.
"When we consider that this 70
cents represents only the average
wage and makes no allowance for un-
employment, and that hundreds Of
thousands today still receive anywhere
from 80 cents to 80 cents an hour, the
need for continuing wage advances is
obvious.
"Only few workers today receive
$4,000 a year. Government estimates
show that at the expected 1941 ma
tional income level of $4,000, 100000
and after this springs wage in
creases only 68 per cent Of our Amer
lean family units will receive $4,000 a
year or more, and half our family
units go per cent? will receive less
than S1,40O, which is the minimum
bare subsistence budget for a family

Chicago Teachers Vote
To Gust Red Locals

the national referendum being con-
Quoted by the American Federation of
Teachers (AFL) on it's move to oust
two New York City and one Phila-
delphia local on the charge of COM
munism show an overwhelming vote
in favor of revocation of the locals
charters, Mark Starr, member of the
executive council, disclosed.
Of the 1850 teachers in the Chi
cago Teachers Union local ~ en-
titled to vote, 5,25S voted for the GUS
ters and S92 against them. The Chi
cago union is the largest single chap
ter in the federation, while the Teach
ers Union in this city local 81 is sec
ond in size.
Action against the three locals was
brought by the federation's executive
council in February, when it passed
resolution ordering a referendum to
determine whether the charters should
be revoked. 1t was charged that the
locals had followed the Communist
party line on virtually every issue.
''The chances are good that the ex,
ecutive's councils recommendation or
revocation will be accepted and then
the way will be opened for a big ex-
pansion on the part of the American
Federation of Teachers" Mr. Starr
declared. "We anticipate a big adj
vance in the numerical strength of

tion with the American Federation of

Information On
Social Security

Retired workers drawing Federal
old-age insurance benefits who take
jobs available to older people as re-
suit of the National Defense Program
will be entitled to their benefits when
they again quit work, Mr.. Glen IL.
Pittenger, manager of the Social Sc
curity Board office at Youngstown, o.,
said today. He explained that under
the law monthly benefit payments are
discontinued during the time when a
worker has a job in covered employ
ment paying SIS or more a month. A
worker past 65 who has retired and
begun receiving his monthly old-age
insurance payments is required to no.
tify the Social Security Board if he
should at any time work for wages
of SIS or more month in employ
ment covered by the law, Mr.. Ptten-
ger said. He added that the worker is
not entitled to an insurance payment
for any month in which he is so en-
ployed, and that if he fails to notify
the Social Security Board he may lose
more than that months benefit How
ever, when he stops work or loses his
job he should notify the Social Sc
curity Board at once, and his monthly
retirement benefits will begin again,
without delay.
According to Mr.. Pitenger, the re
tired worker taking job is required
to notify the Social Security Board
only when the job is one of those COW
cred by the law. He may work in
other types of employment-such as
farming, domestic service, or odd jobs
not connected with his employers
business-or he may have a business
of his own, and continue to receive
his monthly payments.
Mr.. Pittenger said that his office
has postcard forms which workers
can obtain to use in notifying the
Board if they go back to work in any
covered employment. He urged work
ers to call on his office for informa-
tion concerning this or any other
phase of their old-age and survivors
insurance.

A Springtine Caution
LAURA GRAY

Spring had come. In the garden,
Mona who was seven, and her sister
Mary, five, played with dolls on the
lawn, under a cherry tree beautiful
with blossoms. Happy birds were,
from time to time, seen fluttering by
withsstraws in their beaks. A pair
of robins had started a nest in the fir
tree. l could see them from the porch
where had dragged the machine-to
enjoy the sun while sewing. The chill
dren stopped their play every little
while and ran over to see how the nest
was getting along. The robins had
stayed with us all winter this year and
had been fed daily through the snowy
months.
Later | went reluctantly inside to
prepare lunch. Soon Mona rushed
into the kitchen, her younger sister
following. "Oh, Motherw she cried,
'look, pussy killed this poor robin.
got it away from her!" The child laid
the limp bird in my hand and burst
into tears.
"Bad pussy! Bad pussy" scolded
Mary.
The large yellow cat had followed
questioningly. What were they going
to do with this prize she had taken
such trouble to catch?
For a minute l did not know what
to do or say. However, | took Mona
on my knee, and began, "It's pussy's
nature to catch birds and small ami
mails. Her bright eyes, her sharp
claws, and her strong back legs have
been given her so that she may hunt
when she is hungry" Here l hesi-
tated; | didn't know how to go on.
"Poor bird" sobbed Mona, stroking
the feathers.
"That robin should have watched
out and not let himself get caught,
l continued. "Did you feed pussy this
morning?"
The cat belonged to Mona, and il
was her duty to see that she was fed
"No, | forgot" She stopped cry,
ing.
"Then can you blame pussy for go,
ing out and catching her own break.
fast? But don't cry. We will teach
her not to catch the birds. Man!
other robins are here and still more
will come. They eat the caterpillars
and grubs-there would be too many
if the birds did not do this. FeeC
pussy we'll and regularly, scold he1
when she looks at birds, and perhaps
she will learn that we love them anC
do not want her to catch them. But
anyway, when we go to town you shall
buy a little bell to tie around pussy'E
neck. With the bell tinkling merrily
the birds will know when she is com
ing and keep out of the way. Tha
will remove the temptation"
Then a robin flew past the dool
with straw, and her mate in the tree
sang for joy.
Mary ran to look. "Pussy didn'
catch the robins who are building thu
nest, | can see them both," she criet
happily.
'That's something for which to b'
thankful l responded. "Now, go ant
give pussy a good breakfast, SO sh'
won't be hungry"
