Well, sold em and put the money into
War Bonds. hear in Europe they don't
let you sell your pigs when you want to.
They just come and take 'em. That's
something don't fancy"
A change has come over Spide's sitting
room. Instead of the fapjack- sized news
paper map he had pinned to the wall.
there's real big one that he sent away for.
Belgium alone now is as big as all Europe
used to be. Sometimes, when broadcast
is over. Spide gets up, puts on his glasses
and goes over and peers at the map and
says: Nov let me see where that place
is
A thing that pared the world down
pretty small was when one of the boys
from our county was killed at Wake
Island Wake Island was no longer some
thing on the other side of the world. 1t
had to do with him. That squeezed the
Pacific Ocean down to horse pond.
One day l got Spide globe of the
world. Spide pounced on it like cat on a
ground squirrel; just the thing he wanted
There is now a soiled spot near Mary
vile, Missouri, where he puts his finger
when he wants to see how far away Other
Places are.
WELL, we're all Spide Logans, whether
we like it or not, for Spide is symbol of
a changing world. The world is getting
smaller and we've got to adjust ourselves
to it. And, after the war is over, the world
is going to be still smaller. Those big
freight and passenger carrying planes are
going to collapse the world like the hired
man stepping on a puffball.
But that's all right. It's an opportunity.
for us to seize and expand individually.
As the world gets smaller, let's Try to make
tt better World. Let's all take deep and
personal interest in the Peace which can't
be far away. Let's study it and under
stand it, and raise hob if it isn't to our
liking. For this time we want a Dove of
Peace that hasn't got one wing shot away
Let's give this new world our faith and
understanding - yes, and our love - and
make it really fine world 1t can be
done, and each one can do his part.
Like Spide. Just about nobody can build
sturdier, finer, more lasting haystack
than Spide. But when haying time arrives,
the neighbors come in to help. Il can't
build haystack alone" Spide says. 1T
takes lot of people to make haystack
man can be proud of. Everybody has to
pitch in and do his share An when we do
that, all workin' together, we turn out a
mighty pretty lookin' haystack"

1INnPIDE" LOGAN is the tenant on the
Croy farm in northern Missouri,
~ and the farm he pushes around is
in almost the slap middle of the us.
Spide got his name when he was a young
squirt. His legs were 50 long the boys
called him Spider Legs; that wore down
to what he is now: Spide Logan. Every
body knows him.
When the war started, Spide was like a
good many other folks: the world was so
big that the war just didn't affect him.
When he spoke of the war, it was that
trouble in Europe" All the world he cared
about was the one he was blowing.
IT WAS shame about Holland and Nor
way and Denmark. But they were on the
other side of the world He'd known
Dutchman once That was the closest
he'd ever come to having any firsthand
knowledge of any of those countries. The
Dutchman was good farmer; nice neigh
bor too. Seemed too bad his country had
to be kicked around.
1t was too bad Paris had to 60 and fall
An it was too bad about Hitler goose
steppin' into Russia. But Europe was way
off on the other side of the world.
Then along came December 7, l94l.
Just two years ago come Tuesday. The
bombs might as well have fallen on Spide's
east corn6eld, the way they shook him up.
Well, it's been heartening to see the
change in Spide. Affairs that had seemed
as remote as an eclipse have moved into
his front yard, have come and sat down
on the porch and demanded attention.
AN ODD thing that made Spide's world
smaller was hog bristles. That's right -
hog bristles. The County Agent passed
word around for Spide to save his hog
bristles when he butchered. A big paint
and-brush manufacturing company want
ed them. Before bristles for paint brushes
had been imported, mostly from China.
Now his farm was to produce some of
them. Why, nations were so closely related
that change in them even affected hog
bristles! Made fellow stop and think.
Next thing was that he had to share his
goodwill tractor with the neighbors.
Weren't being manufactured any more.
Human beings, instead of Twin separate,
had to cooperate. That also made a fellow
stop an use his noggin.
A good example of the changed world
is what Spide said about War Bonds:
when this war started, never expect
ed it to climb into my hogpen. But you
know them pigs narrowed last March?

Sinh! A soldier we know lost his
heart at the Stage Door Canteen a
few nights ago. He knew all about
the strict rule that hostesses aren't
allowed to make dates with the
servicemen they meet at the Can
teen. But this lad was persistent.
Every few minutes, he'd look down
at his pretty partner and say:
please, miss - please give me your
name and address and phone num-
ber."
She finally shook her head very
decisively: Il just can't"
"Why?"
Its a civilian secret"
LOST CHORD. A lawyer friend of
ours ran across an interesting case
in a dusty law library the other day.
Principals in a New York State trial
in the year 1902 were Mr.. Wilkie
and a Mr.. Roosevelt MIR. Wilkie
was suing Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Wilkie
lost. He tried again and lost Finally
the case went back to the court for a
third trial.
That where our friend lost track
of the records.
He never did find out whether
Wilkie beat Roosevelt or not.

Speakers Program

United Labor is announcing a
comprehensive speaking program
for the next few weeks. The pur-
pose of this program is to &C
quaint various civic groups and
organizations of the problems con-
fronting all labor, especially those
problems of legislation confronting
labor today.
Harry Miller, president of the
Dayton Typographical Union, Local
No. 81, affiliated with United
Labor, will speak on the program
of United Labor at the Rotary club
in Germantown on Friday of this
week.
United Labor is holding an open
forum at the YWCA on Wednes-
day evening, May rs. The topic of
the evening will be, How Labor
is affected by pending legislation"
The Hon. Harry P. jeffrey, con-
gresham from the Thir ddistrict,
and State Senator Joseph 7. Ross
have been asked to participate in
the program.
Charles Bauer, business agent of
Local 1O1, City Employees, AFL,

with the Church Federation of
Dayton for a round table discus
sion, but as yet nc date had been

to each and every one of us to
keep this committee informed of
fragrant price violations. Do your
part, report the black market
operators, the ceiling price viola
tons, rent violations and we will
not have to stand for added cuts
to our already too small pay
checks.
We hope that by the alertness
of our membership in reporting
price violations that the OPA will
do the job for which it was orig
inally set up, instead of playing
politics which has been the prac-
tice in the past.

This is another victory for the

A union that is always on the job
for the best interests of their
members. Join the CLIO today, and
help get in there on the fight to
preserve the American way of life.
Now is the time for all the tool
designers in the remainder of the
plants to organize and
help share in the struggle for
better working conditions, and
work the union way. For further

The committee on prices was
established to open a drive on in
flationary trends by seeing that
ceiling prices on cost of living
commodities are not being vio-
lated. The panel is setting up a
group of price assistants, who will
assist OPA paid investigators in
running down ceiling price viola
ton complaints in the Dayton
area.
Ben r. Cromwell, the CIO rep
resentative on the OPA price panel
is asking the wives of the mem
bership of the CLIO to notify him
of ceiling price violations. He can
be reached at UE Local 801, 9
East Fifth street, or call Flu 6142.
The price panel can be of great
assistance to the buying public of
Dayton if they will do the job
that they r supposed to do. One
way for them to do the job prop
erly is for the buyers to keep
them informed of violations. It has
been our experience that the only
way to get results from the differ
ent government agencies is to keep
them informed of what is actually
happening.
Every raise in prices is a direct
cut of your wages. Congress, to
date, has been on the alert to
hamstring labor as far as wages
and the changing of jobs are con-
cerned. But nothing has been done
that will decrease the abnormal
high cost of living. Our only hope
for mercy is through such commit
tees as this price panel, and it is up

also delighted to know that a little
fancy pressure and a plane ride

legislature ana manpOWer tnat race
Marion Gregg, area director of
the War Manpower Commission,
gave an interesting talk or the
Dayton plan of the commission.
He explained the provisions that
are Incorporated in the plan, and
the handling of local problems of
employment. During his talk,
Gregg mentioned the fact that
absenteeism in the United States
averages lower than in Great Brit
ain. He said, with Britain sitting
almost at the back door of Ger
many, and with the terrible bomb
ings and attacks that have been
suffered by the English people, it
is a credit to the American worker
that absenteeism averages six per
cent lower in the United States
than in England
Mayor Frank Krebs gave a short
talk in which he appealed to the
membership of the CIO in Dayton
to continue to follow the anti
discrimination policies that have
been set up by the National CLIO.
Edward WEIGH, National CLIO
Representative, spoke on the prob
lens of the racial discrimination
that has been shown in industry.
He told of the false statements that
have been given publicity in the
southern states, and of the attitude
that has been taken toward the
Negro worker. WEIGH stated, "The
fears that have been fostered
among the white peoples regard
ing social equality r unfounded.
The Negro worker has no desire
to associate with the white worker
in his social life. He has only the
ambition to make a decent living
and to maintain healthful STAN
dards for his family"
Tom Downs, staff member of the
Ohio State CLIO Council, spoke on
the adverse labor legislation that
is flooding the country. He asked
for more action from the legisla-
tive and political action commit
tees of all locals in upholding the
rights of labor. Downs said, I'VE
must continue to keep a strong
and militant union, but we must
confine our militancy to a fight in
the halls of government for the
duration of the war;" He urged all
of the CLIO members in Dayton to
do your fighting at the coming
elections" and to "use the ballot as
your weapon"
Major Charles Shuerholz of the
Salvation Army gave some inter-
esting examples of the magicians
art and during his talk pleaded
with the Go members to remem-
