This column should perhaps be
headed "What Goes On In The
Capitol City"-this week at least.
AS per previous arrangement En-
erson Fishbaugh stopped at my
house early last Saturday morn
ing for bacon and eggs. We had
planned to go to Columbus and
knowing Emerson's aversion to
early rising told him that if |
could get the coffee boiling he
ought to be able to get up in
time to drink it. He showed up
about 10 minutes late. We caught
the bus to Fulton street and
found Ivan Roberts cranking up
the Chevy. After picking up E.
H. Heckelman the party proceed
ed to Columbus. Roberts and
Heckelman attended a meeting of
Masonic secretaries and | follow
ed Fishbaugh around Columbus.
You might say we went in
quest of a birth certificate. EN-
erson wanted to prove he had
been born and it seems that
even Franklin county where he
claims he first saw the light of
day, is having trouble certify
ing that he actually did arrive in
the world. At the courthouse we
visited the office of the probate
judge. An obliging secretary told
him that since he was born after
1908 they had no records avail
able and to try the state office
building and inquire at the bur
eau of vital statistics.
Frankly | did not realize there
were so many people walking a
round who have never been born
at least having such a time
proving the fact legally. There
were number of men and wom-
en-, some with families filling out
applications and what not, giving
information as to doctors, dates,
etc, in an effort to prove that
the stork actually deposited
them somewhere, sometime.
Emerson 1lled an Application,
deposited so cents and is still
waiting to see if he is a man or
a ghost. On the other hand if
he was not born, it might be
that like Topsy of Uncle Toms
Cabin fame-he just growed.
His mother and father in New
ark still contend he was born.
They ought to know.

AFL Workers Heroic During Attack On Pearl Harbor

at Pearl Harbor during the muir
derous raid.
But the glow of pride which
all American Federation Of Lab
or members felt on learning this
news was tempered with grief
over the fate of some 1,500 other
workers who apparently were
captured by the Japs after hav-
ing fought side by side with the
U. S. Marines for tortured days
and nights on the lonely is
lands of Guam and Wake.
The japanese paid an unwitt-
ing tribute to the fighting quail
tiles of the workers at Wake Is
land when they claimed they had
captured 400 American soldiers
and marines on the island. The

them were shaking their fists in
the air"
Other instances of courageous
action by civilian and naval per-
sonnel of the Fourteenth Naval
District were sited in a report
from the commanding officer of
the Kaneohe Bay Naval Air Stat
ion on Windward Oahu.
"The station, located on the
opposite side of the island from
Pearl Harbor, was also subject
ed to Japanese air attack short
ly before 8 a. m.," the report
said.
"All of the civians displayed
extreme gallantry in their dis
regard of personal danger, and
their attempts to help salvage
aircraft and put out fires was
commendable," the officer said.
They voluntarily undertook to
repair electrical lines and water
mains and the utilities of the
station were out of commission
only short while"

Some Fallacies

Homer J. Buckley, advertising
specialist, says:
l. It's a fallacy that the public
will automatically seek the best.
2. It's fallacy that the pub
lie knows the difference between
price and value.
3. It's a fallacy that the pub
lie will automatically reward en-
terprise and service.
a. It's fallacy that the pub
lie knows what it wants.
5. It's a fallacy that the pub
lie will demand over any great
length of time what it is not re-
minded of.
Hence Mr.. Buckley recon-
ments persistent sales promotion
and advertising.

planes, off from the rest, was
shot down in flames in the yard
area, in full view of all these
people. Their cheers could be
heard above the drone of the
motors and machine-gun fire"
Soon after the japanese bomb
ing started, a call for all yard
workmen was broadcast over
Honolulu radio station.
During the second attack, a.
bout II o'clock, the streets in the
Navy yard were thick with in
coming yard workmen, all hur-
ring to their jobs" the officer
said.
Instead of running to cover
they ran to their jobs. Lots of

ers volunteered to help load the
guns during the firing.
A comment of one officer in
describing the heroism of these
men said, "Six men did work in
two hours that ordinarily would
take twenty men a day and a
half"
Another officer described the
scene at the main entrance of the
Navy yard.

Navy insisted, however, that
there were only 400 marines sta
toned on the island and the 9TH
ers captured must have been civ
ilian workers. They fought so
bravely that the Japs mistook
them for soldiers.
In it's official report on the
Pearl Harbor raid, the Navy said
that one crew of workmen, en-
gagged in unloading anti-aircraft
guns from a flatcar alongside
ship that had been overhauled,
stuck to their work during the
raid. The job that normally
would take many hours was ac-
complished while the raid was in
progress. The battery officer of
the ship said several of the work

Washington, d. C.-Labor will
have special cause to remember
Pearl Harbor because on the
fateful morning of Dec. 7, when
the treacherous japanese rained
sudden destruction from the
skies on that Hawaiin base, thou
sands of courageous American
Federation of Labor workers ig-
nored danger, stayed on the job
and fought like heroes against
the enemy.
This was attested to in an off

ploits of the building trades and

This thing has got her."

We went out and signaled one.
A man lurched forward from the
rear seat. 1t was Maurie Sears.
He was drunk. Had to get that
way, I reckon, to nerve himself
up to that business. He turned
his face away. I'm not sure he
knew me. The lad at The wheel
was sober. He said he'd be glad
to fetch the doctor.
The old boy was there in half
an hour. He went at Juddy
like he knew his business, shot
her full dope and told me 10
keep her out of commission for
a few days.
Old Swoby did what no darby
would have dared to do; cut the
body down and buried it in a
corner Of the bluff above Tam
bay Stream.
There was some beefing and
threatening when the white
trash of the country and I h e
young toughs of the towns found
out about it. They're always the
lot that raises the trouble. Who
was this Old Swoby? You never
could tell about these grease
balls. He'd better watch his
step.

q place for the little man to
sleep, inside the stockade. The
trouble blew over. But Doc
