Licking County Scout Execu-

and stated that he had received
communication from Mayor

head of the Office of Civilian
Defense, urging immediate ac-

Labor Against May Bill As
VinSOn Measure IS SidetrdCked

Several weeks ago the Newark Federation of
Labor voiced antagonism to the proposed
Vinson bill and adopted a resolution that repre-
sentatives of all affiliated Newark unions coop
crate with Labor throughout the country and com
municate with their representatives at Washing
ton, ID. G.
Aroused public opinion from all over the Unit
ed States, defeated the enemies of labor in Con-
gress and the vicious Vinson bill was sdetrack-
ed according to a special news release from the
American Federation of Labor to the Newark
Leader However, reactionary strategists hit up
on the expedent of Incorporating their proposals
in amendments to the Selective Service Act, now
pending in the House.
According to the release, President William
Green promptly denounced these amendments in
a letter to all members of the House. He charg-
ed that the BILL known as the May amend
ments, threatened to end democracy in America.
Enactment of this bill, Mr.. Green declared,
would mean that the nation is embarking "upon
a leading directly toward those forms of
government which all right thinking democratic
persons condemn with all the vigor at their COM
mand."
Mr. Green urged the defeat of this legislation
in the interests not only of labor, but of all the
people of the United States
Green pointed out that the original purpose of
this legislation to reduce the draft age limit
from thrty-five to twenty eight years. To this,
he said, the A. F. of L. interposes objections.
The bill gives the President blanket pow
ers to take over and operate plants under pro-

pulsory labor
Any pickets who tried to keep strikebreakers
out of struck plant could be imprisoned for five
years and fined $4,000.
Furthermore payment Of wages would be de-
MED to any person "who is separated from
fused employment because of Government seiz-
ure of plants.
Even peaceful picketing might be banned un-
der the sweeping provisions of the bill, Mr. Green
said.
Summing up his objections to the proposed
legislation, Mr.. Green declared
Accordingly, the entire Section is drastic
anti-strike measure, denying to workers constitu-
tional and fundamental rights to which the AM
erican Federation of Labor is vigorously opposed.
"There can be question about these amend
ments violating that portion of the Constitution
which prohibits involuntary servitude and so they
affect not only labor but each and every person
group within the country. Therefore, laying
aside entirely any consideration whatsoever for
the specific interests of the labor group and anti
cipating this proposals effect upon the nation as
a whole, we definitely reach the conclusion that if
this violation of the Constitution is consummated
our present form of government probably is end
ed and we embarking upon course leading
directly toward those forms of government which
all right thinking democratic persons condemn
with all the vigor at their command.
mo question as important has been before
Congress for many, many years. It's adoption will
have most disastrous effect" said Green.

Members of the Newark city
council were confronted with
deluge of legislation Monday
night, but waded through it with
dispatch under the guidance of
President of Council Clint Com
er.
An ordinance was passed
granting permission to the Baz-
ley meat market to drill and
maintain a water we'll in the
sidewalk area adjoining it's
premises on North Third street.
Veterans organizations and their
auxilaries were granted permis-
sion in legislation sponsored by
Councilmen Neighbor and Faust,
to make improvements on the
property known as the "Old
Cemetery" at West Main and
Sixth streets. Work of beautifi-
cation will be done under the di-
rector of public service. An or
dinance was also passed calling
for penalties and prohibiting
the destruction of any improve
ments, monuments or equipment
in the park, and providing fine
of not less than $40 nor more
than $500 for such misdemean-
orS.
The director of public service
was authorized to advertise for
bids and enter into contract for
all electrical energy to operate
flood pumps in the flood control
district in south Newark. The
legislation was sponsored by
Faust and Lockwood.
Several ordinances supplement
ting appropriations to various
funds were acted on favorably
by council.
AIRPORT
Given first reading only on
the suggestion of Councilman
Stare was legislation relating to
the request of the Civil Aeron-
autics Administration that the
government airport at Heath be
returned to the city, to be used
as municipal airport. City So
licitor Charles B. Holtsberry, in
commenting on the proposition
stated that from the city's in
vestment of $4,000 for which
the government has paid $1.00
per year rental, the city has
realized only SO during the past
nine years. He continued, "if the
property is again taken over by
the city the government will con-
tinue to use the field for emer-
gency purposes, pay for all cleo

position to realize some income

the life, the history and results
of an organization like a
church during an entire CEN
tury of her existence? To
give the material progress of
church,-the pastorates, and
crises through which she pass
ed in that hundred years, is
not difficult. To measure the
inner, spiritual life and influ-
ence upon the members and
congregation, is hard to esti-
mate.
This is the task which this
week confronted the pastor and
members of The st. Johns Ger
man Evangelical Protestant
Church in Newark, which has
functioned here for a century.
From the earliest record avail
able it is found that the early
German settlers of Newark and
vicinity had been gathering to-
gether for worship services in
homes and other places for quite
some time prior to the actual or
ganization of a church. Bringing
the Word of God were travelling
German ministers of the Gospel.
In July, 1841, a small group of
25 of these early Germans met
to organize their own congrega-
tion, and on July 18 of that year
was born the church which has
survived the strife of the CEN
tury. The first officers were:
Henry Rickenback, president;
Andreas Petrey, secretary;
Christoph Eichmer, treasurer;
David Fischer, Elder; Gottfried
Buehlmeyer, Elder; Jacob Graes-
ser, trustee, and Jacob Paul,
trustee.
The lot on which the church
edifice and parsonage were built
was given the congregation by
it's first president, Henry Rick
enback and his wife Barbara.
Work on the first church build
ing was started early in Septem-
Der and on September 80. 1841
the first cornerstone of the first
home of the congregation was
laid, containing copy of the
Bible, and a German manuscript.
The name of the President of the
United States, the Governor of
Ohio and the Mayor of the city
of Newark were also placed in
the cornerstone.

Lamentable

1t was revealed last week
by John Gilbert, manager
of the Newark Bureau of
Unemployment Compensa-
ton that wives have quit
their jobs in hopes of get
ting deferment for their
husbands from military SER
vice. However when it is
revealed that there are a
few = and we trust very
few-who turned about and
made an effort to collect
unemployment insurance,
we think that it is going
: just a little bit too far.
That these things have
occurred is vouched for by
Manager Gilbert, who dis
covered several cases when
jobs were offered wives re-
ceiving compensation, who
in turn refused to take
them. When making appli-
cation they gave other rea-
sons than the primary one,
= an endeavor to seek defer
ment for their husbands.
Unemployment insurance
means just that = for the
protection of the worker,
who through no fault of his
own, is laid off from the job.
1t means security to him
and his family and a breath
ing spell until a new posi-
ton can be secured. Unem-
ployment insurance was
never meant to be a racket
and we hope that it will
not be permitted to develop
4nto one.

Our New Registrants

A million young Ameri-
cans, with heads erect and
shoulders squared, placed
their lives and fortunes on
the altar of their country,
ten days ago, when they
signed for military training
at the call of Uncle Sam.
These young fellows will,
anquestionably, furnish the
bulk of trainees from this
date on. They are of the
right age, they are full of
life and fire they have
not become rooted and
grounded at any particular
task most of them have
no dependents few in
deed have any real cares or
problems of life. They are
chock full of ambition and
their loyalty cannot be
questioned. They will be
leaving for training camps
within a comparatively
short time, each bent on do
ing his full duty. They will
respond quickly and become
toughened in no time.
They'll be care free, too,
and take up their duties
with a whoop. Within a
twelfth month, they'll be
hardened soldiers, ready to
whip their weight in wild
cats. A lot of them, no
doubt, will have some of the
glamour knocked out Of
them. But they'll be real
soldiers.
