The facts necessary for our story
of Stockport and Windsor township
is coming nicely Watch coming
issues of the Democrat.
The dog warden was in Stockport
last week and killed a dog suspect
ed of being rabid.
We We're glad to find our friend
Mrs. Sadie r. Sims and nephew and
wife getting along nicely.
AS we travelled over Bristol and
Manchester townships, we heard
much praise Of the life of Mrs. Alta
knight, of whose death word had
just come.
Sometimes we feel old When
we look back through the years to
the time when Morgan county folks
began telling about good roads, our
memory seems impaired, or some
thing. Anyway we can't recall how
long it has been. What we started
to talk about, it seems it must have
been long enough that roads to i'm
portant places should be improved
The foregoing was inspired by the
fact that the road to Windy Hill
cemetery is such that the remains
of our friend Mrs. Blanche Rex had
to be transferred to a horse-drawn
vehicle, sled, we believe, to reach
the last resting place. Mr.. Shafer,
who owns a farm on public road
still can't get to it except on foot
Bristol township is on the west,
Manchester on the east. In con-
versing with Mr. Shafer, who car
ries mail out of Caldwell, when he
came in at 4 p. M, we learned he
wasn't able to make all his route,
so he must have more than his
share of road troubles.

ROLLING CORRESPONDENT

We find that our column seems
readers to find under new head.
Don't forget to tell us your news as
we travel over the county. and that
reminds us, We were in three cOun-
ties inside of ten minutes last week.
In travelling with a man who has
travelled over much of our country,
we found he had never seen Dun
cannon, so we told him the right
and left turns-of course they were
all right. We found Mr. Morris,
the merchant, very busy man, but
not SO much SO that he couldn' t
talk with us. Their children were
quite i'll with heavy colds. Mr..
Morris owns the former Porter
farm in Bristol. We noticed lot
of walnut logs along the highway,
which had been cut on the farm.
At the Garner Dickinson home,
Manchester township, we found
them installing water system.
We have heard friends who come
back to their old home, tell of
changes since they left. When we
visited, or passed through Meigs
last week, the only change we not
ed was the damage the wind had
done to the barn at the Mrs. Fan
ME Lyle farm.
We find some of the residents of
Stockport have been buying sugar
by the hundred pounds So far as
we have noted they are all mer-
chants.
Don't forget to read the adver-
hsements of Stockport folks in the
Democrat.

We noticed on the door of the
Stockport depot 1.-The marshal has
the money and keys We are
wondering if it meant the B. & O.'s

went to another CITY in search of

copyright on being queer. In that
we have a mania for finding worth

everything from buttons to items,

whom we feel has a copyright

have been able to study the human

Together
BY Ruth Taylor

Today we speak often OF
national unity, of the United
States, of the United Nations,
But how often do we bring
this much-to-be- desired unity
down out of the blue sky OF
generalities into our every
day life2
National unity means just
one thing You and ! and the
man next door, the grocer
down the street. the neWsboy
on the corner, the man who
drives the bus we take to
work or market - all OF us
must work and fight together
for our common ideal Of good
for all the people regardless
of class, race, creed or color.
This is a War of Survival.
The old barriers have broken
down. Men are fighting side
by side regardless of their
backgrounds. Americans all,
they are fighting for the pres
ervation Of the right to work
and live as free men. The
courage of d man is what
counts, not his class, race,
creed or color.
The boys who fell at Ba-
taan, who met death on the
sea or in the high air over our
myriad battle fronts, were
fighting for US, and together
with us. Can we let down
their heroism by divisiveness
at home?
Nov the frontiers are all
closed.
There is no other country we
can run away to,
At last we must turn and live
with ore another
So speaks one of the poets
of this new war. There is no
lodging the issue. We must
learn how to cooperate, how
to get along with our neigh
bors, how to live together.
Wherever our duty our
opportunity for service Lies
we must work together, in
shop and on the farm, at the
battle front and in the home.
We must sacrifice together.
We must prove our faith by
putting into actual practice
our belief in the democratic
way of working together
without asking other than
that our fellow workers abide
by the principles set down IN
our Bill of Rights.
Therein lies the great diff
ference between the democ.
racies and the totalitariar
states. They fight under or.
ders for the State-We fight
together for the good of al
people. This is the cohesive
quality of democracy. This il
why we work together now
This is Why we work together
for the future and for a per
manent peace in a world il
which all men will be free.

STEPS

(Continuad from Gage IL
from insult aid abuse by
stern insistence on respect
for the American uniform.
That soldiers III uniform
have been allowed to be
driven from their seats in
public conveyances, attack
ed by hoodlums, and even
killed, is an amazing refec-'
ton on Army discipline an
respect for the flag. 1t is
true that the u. S. Dept. of
Justice has begun to prose-
cute attacks on the uniform
but where is national pat
rictism and the pride of the
army that has allowed such
insults to stand for a min
ute? Unless protection of
all our soldiers from civil
ian abuse can be speedily
brought about all Negro
training bases and encamp-
ments should be moved out
of the south.
SO. Continue to insist that
in all war production, en-
ployment be given without
! discrimination as to race.
creed, or color. Employ
ment practices set now will
in part persist into peace
time industry.
a. Equalize schools and

stitution of these United

school expenditures for col

and North Carolina in the

bama in all parts Of the
country
(3). The unions won't let
us hire Negroes. Less than
two dozen Of the more than
two hundred major unions IN
this country have constitu-
tional bans against Negro
workers. In many cases Of
union discrimination the Gov
ernment has stepped in to get
for Negroes full membership
or work permits. Ar employer
who meets union resistance to
his attempts to hire Negroes
may invoke the full support
of the Federal Government,
the President of the United
States, and the heads of both
major labor groups
Under the title, What You
Can Do About It. the pamph
let lists seven steps which en-
ployers can take to utilize
fully the Negro labor market.
"(1). See to it that the fai.
employment policy Of your
company is in fact the policy
of all your company $ agents.
"t2.) If you nave a union
lin your plant, seek it's help. A
| policy which the workers help
to make will have their sup
port.
l3.) Enlist the aid of Ne
gro organizations and Of the
United States Employment
Service in getting qualified
Negro personnel. These or
ganizations are prepared to
help you get trained men.
"(4.) As you hire Negroes
/ tor the factory, hire them also
for your offices. There are
thousands of capable Negro
clerical workers.
"(5.) When you consider
the employment of women
consider Negro women also
Hundreds of them are already
employed in war production
we need the additional thou
sands now available.
| "(6.) Enlist the cooper.
alton Of your supervisory per.
sonnel ard see that they Sc.
cure the cooperation of youl
| workers.
