 Are the people of America going to let their favorite pastime 90 out?
 People of America, wake up and have something to say about your government and civic affairs. At the present time in your city your favorite and most extensive pastine is being threatened with extinction.
 Why? Because the legislatures of the country and of this state are not up to repeating the present Child Labor Act. Many bowling alleys in or city are being fined for hiring boys under l6 years old.
 Recently the legislatures of this state and country adopted the Draft Act for boys IS and i9 years old, thus drawing from the regular sup ply of small business labor as well as drawing from the supply of big business. Well then why can't these same legislatures repeal the Child Labor Act and let children of IA and l5, who look big and pass physicals for a certain number of hours work in bowling establishments. The man behind the man behind the gun needs his recreation and must not be deprived of this greatly needed form of recreation. The public servants of the people must consider two angles. Wartime makes many things necessary.
 If they don't act We the people must act" in our own way, to pro- tect our National Pastime, Fowl ing"
