Newark Labor
To Celebrate

Because of the uncertainty of
conditions due TO the war, La
Dor throughout the country has
been undecided as to holding
of celebrations on Labor Day,
Sept. I. Recently both Will
lam Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
and Phillip Murray, president
of the Congress of Industrial
Organization, announced that
more attention should be given
to Labor Day than in the past
because of the enormous pro-
ductiOn schedules for war
equipment in which Labor has
more than fulfilled its part and
plans to go right on turning
out the machinery for victory.
With this word from the head
Of their organization, the New
ark Federation of Labor made
it's final decision to hold a cele-
bration again this year.
Following considerable discus
sion wherein it was discovered
that securing carnival equipment
was a problem, and that electric
al wiring necessary would not be
forthcoming because Of priori-
ties, it was finally decided to
again hold the celebration in
Buckeye Lake park, with the CO.
operation of Manager A. M.
Brown.
Not being able to secure an
automobile for an award because
Of wartime regulations, the Fe-
deration decided to dispense with
this feature Of the annual jubilee
but full plans are going ahead to
hold program Of athletic con-
tests and other entertainment.
The matter Of a parade through
the streets of Newark in the
morning is still under debate and
no definite decision has been
made at this time.
The Labor Day edition of The
Newark Leader will again be pub.
lished as heretofore, and mer-
chants, manufacturers and 9TH
ers are cooperating wholeheart-
edly in this annual publication
sponsored by the Federation.
Secretary Baker announced
this week that more details of
the forthcoming celebration will
be announced at later date.

Scouts and
Commands

When you see a Boy
Scout, look upon him with
new admiration and respect
for you may be gazing upon
a future Commando. Accord
ing to Maj. S. S. P. Arm
strong, chief of the school
for training Commandos for
the Canadian army, young
men with Boy Scout back
ground make the best re-
cruits for this service.
1t is the majors observa-
tion that Boy Scouts know
how to take care of them
selves in the open and live
off the land, something es-
sential to the Commands.
In many ways the Boy
Scout perpetuates the wood
craft lore of the Indian. He
learns to follow trails and
} read signs, which would be
invisible to the eyes of the
unframed. He learns how
to take care of himself upon
the most meager resources.
He knows how to get over a
high wall, how to conceal
himself when the cover is
scant.
This training was not
given with the thought of
ever having to be used in
war. The purpose was to
train the boys to be obser-
want, self reliant, strong and
active. 1t would make them
better citizens. Many thous-
ands of former Boy Scouts
are already in the uniform

SALVAGE 1T!
Coaches

Time is racing ahead at
such a breakneck pace and
summer is slipping by so
fast that it is difficult to
realize that another athletic
season is not more than a
month away. This fact was
underscored recently when
the board of education en-
ployed Max Douglas to fill
the vacancy of basketball
coach caused by the enlist
ment of Clifford E. Orr in
the armed forces.
The school board could
have searched much farther,
and pondered the matter at
greater length, without find
ing a coach with greater eX-
perience or with a better
record than Douglas. Not
only that but he has the
knack of "getting along"
with the boys.
Last Saturday the board
named Edgar "A. Sherman
athletic director, and he too,
has proven his ability as
assistant football coach. A
long with head football
coach Luther Hanshue, this
trio should make things
hum on the athletic front.
1t is true that the impor-
tance of competitive ath-
letics is often overemphasiz.
ed. The principle function
of the public school system
is to educate boys and girls; !;
not to capture football
championships. But ath-
letics have nevertheless be-
come an accepted part of
school life. The American
spirit of competition de-
serves to be nutured, for it
is that spirit which is train
ing and has trained our
youth over a long period of
years to grow into men of
character.
u The desire to excel is a
human instinct. In some
European countries, this de-
Asire has been misdirected in.
to the grim channels of war.
In this country the instinct
develops along harmless but
happy lines on the football
field, the baseball diamond,
the basketball floor or the
tennis court.
So if high school athletic
teams are a good thing, we
might as well continue to
have good ones as Newark
schools have been particular.
ly fortunate in having in
the past. Anything worth
doing is worth doing we'll
and we think our coaches
can do everything that will
be required of them-well.
Good luck, boys.

Fertilizer Shortage
Is Cousine Questions
To Be Asked About Meul

The shortage of nitrogen fertiliz-
err is causing a great number OF
people to ask questions about the
use Of cottonseed meal. This pro-
duet has been used as a commercial
fertilizer for many years.
The following are some facts pub
lished by the Delta Experiment
Station on the results of cotton
seed meal for the past 81 years on
cotton.
Sulphate of Ammonia at $4,000
per ton and cottonseed meal at
S41.OO per ton, it costs S3,l4 per
acre to apply 32 pounds of element
nitrogen in Sulphate of Ammonia
against s10.Os for 80 pounds from
cottonseed meal. This is shown as
follows:
Sulphate of Ammonia produced
an increase of Alb pounds of seed
cotton, whereas, 343 pourde 7as
produced by cottonseed meal Look
ing at these results from another
angle a dollar spent for cote. eeo
meal was worth s2.72 per acre,
whereas, a dollar spent for Sulphate
Of Ammonia was worth $l1.39 pei
acre. Seed cotton was valued At {
cents per pound in figuring S@ese
results.
