Rev. J. J. Brown, Jr., Is
Kiwanis Club Speaker
Milford Clergyman Made Splendid
Talk On Lincoln And Churchill

Rev. John Jackson Brown, Jr.
pastor Of First Presbyterian Church
Milford, was the guest speaker at
The weekly dinner meeting of the
Milford Kiwanis Club ON Tuesday
evening.
Rev. Brown, a most interesting
talker, gave a brilliant comparison
Of Abraham Lincoln and Winston
Churchill, En- G lands embattled
Prime Minister.
According to Rev. Brown, Mr..
Churchill seems to have a charmed
life, having miraculously escaped
death eight times in accidents, wars,
ambush, and during his escapades
as soldier of fortune.
He has held more cabinet posts
than any other man in England, and
has been a member of all political
parties in Parliament.
The destiny of England is now in
the hands of this determined man,
who has the confidence of all the
British Isles.

At The Grave OF
ANN RUTLEDGE
By Daniel D. straley


There is wild and rustic beauty
on the hillslone's- cT'ankling crest
In the shrub, the weed. the wildrose
And in craven marbles dressed.
Here the murmurs from the treetops
AS a dirge upon ME fall.
Yet in fretful, signing breezes
From tomb / hear love call.
From a grave upon the hillside
Closely nestled to its breast,
/ hear the smothered whisperings
ora maiden soul caressed.
OF an unforgotten loved one
In narrow, slab marked bed.
There transient love compositions
The dust lips of the dead.
A love from ganite grandeur,
From the heights of world renown,
Whose martyred brow is wearing
A nations posthumous crown.
To their solitude / leave them
And the guardian oak that stands
With its weathered arms uplifted
Srewing leaves with gnarled hands.

A SECURITY PROGRAM
(BV William Green)

SECURITY IS relative term and IN this age OF
- rapid and drastic change it must be expressed
in terms that do not mean maintenance or things
as they are. In addition to the normal changes
due TO technical progress and social change, our
nation with all other countries faces the emef-
gencicS Of conflict aimed at Worldwide revolution
Property and physical possessions may be swept
away For those we can provide no security. How
ever they may be duplicated or improved upon II
cur citizens remain with physical Vigor and ere
atiVe power unimpaircd. About the only policy
that can lay claim to degree of pelmanence is
conservation Of human beings.
People are the primary asset of a nation and
they are ready to risk perilS if relieved of the
consequences OF emergencies to themselves and
those dependent upon them. These emergencies
which one can orCStall OF escape are the things
which prevent them from earning livelihood or
iacapaCtatc thcm-ScEncSS accidents, unemploy-
mcnt, total disability, old age.
When there is provision for the emergencies
that bring temporary mcapacty, the individual
has a chance to recover his abilities and again be
come sef-dcpcndcnt; if there is provision FOR
permanent mcapacty, the individual has the re-
lief Of knowing he Is not oVeiburdcnlng his family
and that his dependents viii be cared for
We have made some progress toward proVld-
ing security, but it seems relatively futile in the
period OF uphCaValS and in anticipation OF the eco
nomic adjustments that must be made when peace
is established. We need to extend c0verage to all
who work and TO include provisions against the
main types Of emergency
Old-age insurance should be extended to ali
classes of employees well as loW-lncomc self
employed persons. Old-aGe pensions should be
available to those who have not been able to ac-
Cumul&tc cOntnDutory insurance.
Unemployment compensation, with benefits
and coVeragc adequate for the return from de-
fcnsc productions should be provided by national
legislation, covering all who work. Temporary
and permanent disability compensation, providing
lun0s ion medical care in addition to compenSa-
ton for loss OF earnings, is an essential part OF

FREEZING COTTON

I'llEl'E HAS BEEN determination of repre-
SentatlVeS from the southern states in the
two Houses of Congress to stop the government
from selling it's seven million bales of loan cotton.
This is live issue in connection with price-con-
troll, which principle is challenged by a strong
farm bloc in Congress. Chairman Steagall Of the
House Banking and Currency Commission was
chosen by the President to sponsor the Admins
tration price control bill. But he is siding with
the farm group in its rebellion to obtain greater
benefits for farmers than exist in the bill "to sus-
tain the debt structure' being piled on the coun-
try. In other words the farmers don't want to
have agricultural prices fixed by the government
Secretary Of the Treasury Morgenthau holds
the purse strings, and he wants to sell the seven
million bales of cotton because there is profit to
be had at this time. He brought down his mighty
fist last week and declared that it would be ter
rible' for the Treasury to lose money on its loan
Investments by refusing to sell its cotton.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS
Observation-Disclosures

This column recently told of the
plans for the formation of foreign
trade union groups in Great Britain,
Reports show that organization CT
these groups is progressing and that
Belgian, French, German, Austrian,
Czechoslovak national groups are now
operating.
Plans are being made for the or
ganization of Polish and Norwegian
groups. Well organized unions of
seamen from the two nations have
been functioning for some time.
Foreign trade union groups in
Britain are based on the principle of
simultaneous membership Of the ap
propriate British trade union and Of
the respective national trade union
organization. The foreign workers are
organized in British unions for the
protection of their wage and working
conditions. They are grouped also by
nationality to give expression to their
close mutual bonds which these
workers feel, to maintain the conti-
nuity of relations with the labor
ulD NttiiCllS VI IllSiI ptNCiNC
lands and to be the seeds of the
future free. trade unions movements
in their countries. Thus the tasks Of
the foreign groups are principally
social and propagandist. They will
pay special attention to relief cam
paigns and to the encoura cement Of
trade union tradition.

AS result of the world crisis,
compelling the Inauguration of the
national defense program in the
United States, the Federal employ
ment service has made advances that
might have taken ten years to achieve
under ordinary circumstances. What
these changes mean to the average
worker seeking a defense job or an
employer seeking skilled workers is
described in detail in pamphlet en-
titled "Man Meets Job-How Uncle
Sam Helps" published by the Public
Affairs Committee, 30 Rockefeller
Plaza, New York City.
Written by Philip S. Broughton of
the Social Security Board, the pamph-
let tells why the U. S. Employment
Service was formed, and how it
functions in the present emergency.
1t is no longer concerned, Brough-
ton points out, with finding a job
any job-for the jobless man or
woman. 1t has "to meet defense job
demands with the best skilled men
and women wherever they can be
found-whether or not they are en-
ployed."
Workers seeking defense jobs are
given the following advice:
|. Register at once with your local
state employment office, if you are
qualified for work in a defense indus
try. 2. Register if you are working
at a semi-skiled or unskilled job and
you have the skill needed for better
job. 3. Apply at the employment Of
flee if you want training for a de-
Tense job. 4. Do not leave your home
town in search Of work unless the
local employment Office tells you there
is definite opening somewhere else

"The u. S. Employment Service,
Broughton adds, "also serves as {
channel to all kinds of training fol
defense jobs.
During the entire period of the
first World War, only 10000 workers
were especially trained for defense
industry jobs. In the first six months
