they are shunted outside by the

had the last raise in 1925. Their
objective-for which they have
been fighting for years-is pass

Aluminium Drive
On In Newark For
National Defense

A call went out through the
state of Ohio Tuesday to join
in the nationwide collection
of used aluminium ware and
parts, to be used for the ma
tiOnal defense program. In
response to an urgent tele-
gram from Governor John w.
Bricker the following commit
tee has been named to inaug-
urate the drive in Newark and
Licking county:
Stanley Shaw, fire chief,
chairman; Frank NeighbOr,
safety director; Royal Keyes,

son, editor of the Newark Ad-
vOcate; John Ellis of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars; Ray.

mander of the American Le-
giOn post in Newark; Emer-
son L. Fishbaugh, president of
the Newark Federation of La
Dor, and j. w. Johnson.
Aluminium pots, pans, ket-
ties aluminium utensils and
parts of all kinds are urgent
1y needed. Every housewife
is earnestly urged to gather
what she can and have it ta-
ken to the nearest fire station.
The aluminium will then be col
lected and taken to the Central
Fire station, where it will be
displayed. Donors who find
it impossible to make delivery
can call the fire station and
the aluminium will be picked
up.
A great shortage of this
valuable metal exists in the
country. 1t is needed to build
more and more airplanes for
defense. The government,

City Council
Acts On Relief
Legislation

Members of the city council
meeting in special session Mon
day night, adopted resolution
by council as a whole, authoriz-
ing the Licking County commits
sioners to act for the city as re-
lief administrators from July 1,
1941 until December 81, 1941.
The meeting was called by the
finance committee as the agree
ment signed several months ago
was due to expire July 1. The
resolution calls for exactly the
same agreement as heretofore,
with the city guaranteeing to
take care of the proportionate
relief expense within the corpor-
ate limits.
Councilman A. D. Lockwood
asked Charles B. Holtsberry, city
solicitor, to enlighten the mem
bers generally on the terms of
the proposed contract.
Councilman Stare stated that
he had looked over the list of
people on relief, and noticed in
some instances able bodied men
were receiving aid. Every few
make an effort to work out re-
lief" said Stare. "How would
you compel them to do so?" So
licitor Holtsberry informed him,
"That is an administrative func-
.tion of the relief agency"
Before adjourning Solicitor
Holtsberry introduced a Resolu-
tion of Sympathy to be sent to
the family of Thomas Philips,
Licking county engineer, who
died June %. On motion by
Councilman P. w. Faust, second
ed by Councilman James Neigh
Dor, the motion passed unanim-
ously, and the clerk instructed to
send the Resolution.

They were giving their views
on a resolution by Congressman
Jerry Voorhis, (Dem., Calif.)
for the creation of a postwar
economic commission, made up
of representatives of govern
ment, employers, labor and 9TH
er elements in the nations life,
to work out a long range pro-
gram that will assure full Oper-
alton of all our industries, a de-
cent and fair income to agricul-
ture, and, above all, full employ
ment to all people,"
Among the first to testify in
support of the resolution was
William l.. Bait, one of Ameri-
cas- most successful manufac-
turers, who stepped from the
presidency of S. K. F. Industries
In Philadelphia to key post in
the defense Administrations
of deputy director of production.
He has done one of the best jobs
in the defense program and has
often startled his colleagues by
his outspoken liberal views, ac-
cording to Labor, a national
weekly.
He gave high praise to the
committee, declaring that in ad-
vancing the Voorhis resolution
it is undertaking one of the most
constructive tasks confronting
the nation today.
ut is as important to plan eff

means is provided in advance to
take care of these conditions. A
commission such as contemplate
ed in this resolution is absolute
ly necessary"
The A. F. of L. also enthusiasts
tically backed up Voorhis' pro-
posal. It's legislative represen-
tative, Paul Scharenberg, warn
ed 1--WE must not let history re-
peat itself and find ourselves in
the same kind of catastrophe as
after the last World War"
millions of workers will be
thrown out of munitions and
plane plants, ghost towns will
be left behind where shipyards
were booming, there will be
great army of unemployed and
of returning soldiers and sailors, 4"
he pointed out.
Church support was also ex-
tended to the Voorhis plan. Faith
er R. A. MCGOWAN, assistant di-
rector of the social action de-
partment of the National Cath
olic Welfare Conference warned
that unless action is taken now
to solve the postwar problems,
there will be danger of dictator
ship.
"If we reach a point where
we have tremendous unemploy-
ment and people get deseprate,
a dictator may arise" he said.
"If, however, in this period of
emergency, we can make our
plans to bring together economic
organizations in a public COM
mission for a study of the prob
lem, we will not only be taking
a great step forward in curing
unemployment, but in avoiding
any kind of a Fascist or Com
munist dictatorship"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1941-07-03

is being assisted by mail men all
over the nation.
Earl A. McHugh, chairman of
the Councils legislative commit
tee said, when the Postoffice
committee conducted a hearing
on the bill in May, not a single
Congressman opposed it, but
121 appeared to urge it pass
age.
"The grocer and the landlord
can't differentiate between us
and the factory workers, and we
feel that our struggle for this
comparatively small increase is
fully justified" continued Nc
Hugh.
House hackers of the bill are
said to be considering petition
ing the House for a majority en-
dorsement to force it out of COM
mittee hands.

Saturday morning. These tours
are a part of the summer rec
reation program at First Metho-
dist church.
The tour started at appropri-
ately the point where milk fresh
from the farm entered the plant
the receiving room Here the
milk is inspected and weighed.
The emptied cans are scientifi
cally sterilized and washed by
machine with a hot alkaline So
luton and live steam, and re-
turned to the farmer perfectly
clean. The storage room, to
which the freshly bottled milk is
moved, is simply an enormous
refrigerator insulated with six
inches of cork under concrete in
which temperatures of 36 to 2S
degrees are constantly maintain
ed. Within a very few hours
after this, the milk is on your
doorstep.

Dairy explained the plant func-

with interest the receiving and
