Equal Pay For
EquoI Work
7

Local 1856 of Standard Aircraft,
is one of the most successful
UAW Local Unions in the Dayton
area, and Local 785 is composed
of more than fifty per cent wom-
en- workers. The contract with
the company calls for equal pay
for women, and might well be an
example of the kind of contract
that every Go local wants. There
are many instances where the
lack of organization among the
women workers is a drawback in
negotiations, but at the Standard
Aircraft plant, many of the
strongest members and workers
come from the ranks of the
women.
Claude Lemons, president of
Local 785, just returning from the
annual convention of the United
Automobile Workers, reports that
the spirit of the organization is
running high, and that with the
help of the membership of all
JAW locals, the union will 60 on

this direction, to my knowledge;
as yet.
It is true that we do have a
child care program established,
but the average working mother
cannot afford these facilities. Day.
ton will reap in future years the
crop of child delinquency that it
is now sowing, in increased crime
waves. This could, in a great
part be avoided, if more and
better child care facilities could
be provided, at a cost the average
worker could afford to pay.
I believe that our recreational
programs can be expanded, and
must be in our schools, rather
than diminished. We can give our
already overtaxed childrens or
CARNATIONS increased support.
These kids are our future Dayton
and America. That is one of the
things our boys r fighting for
in all parts of the world. A free
America for free Americans.
Again I want to touch on post
war problems. I fail to see whv
the elevated railroad system can
not be completed, thereby giving
employment, and making u city
safer from the traffic standpoint.
Speaking of traffic control, the
boulevard system as outlined by
the City Planning Board should
be given consideration as a post
war project.
Dayton, in my opinion, has never
had adequate housing facilities for
the low income groups. Some
progress has been made in this
direction, but not enough. We
still have slums, and unsuitable
housing facilities for thousands of
our citizens.
I could 60 on for pages on what
should be done in Dayton, but I
do believe that if the people of
Dayton would take a more active
interest in the affairs of the COM
munity, by registering and voting,
that we could 60 forward and
make Dayton a better place in
which to live. Again, I urge all
who are eligible to vote, to do so
on Nov. 2, and to vote for those
whom they think will best repre-
sent them.

w k ing too
long hours. I
can appreciate that viewpoint be-
cause I am working at least 48
hours a week myself, but I still
must take the time to carry on
my campaign, and I will take the
time to vote.
I have discovered that it is
rather strenuous to work all day,
and then devote your spare time
to attending meetings and other
functions which a candidate for
public office must do.
IF the voters of Dayton have
enough confidence to elect me to
the city commission, I realize that
I will be faced with many more
problems than I am today. I do
say, I will do my best to listen to
everyone who has a problem, and
will do all that is possible to as
sist the people of Dayton.
The biggest problem we have
facing us today is the winning of
the war as soon as possible. W.
must not forget that before this
war is won, we will have to sacri-
flee much more than we have so
far. So
We must continue to support
the War Chest, the Red Cross, and
any other organization that is
worthy of Jul support. What with
the cost of living constantly in
creasing, the prospect of increased
taxes, it is getting tough on the
average worker to meet all of his
financial obligations, and still buy
bonds, and support all the worthy
causes that we must support.
To be brief, our incomes are
not keeping pace with our obliga-
tons to our families, and to our
nation. Part of this is caused by
the average worker not taking an
active interest in the affairs of
his legislative branches of gov
eminent. We must, as voters, let
those who are now in power
know, whether we approve or dis
approve their actions.
Our present city commission has
not acted too wisely in many in
stances. The failure of the pres
ent commission to take a definite
stand on the BLACK Market" and
Ceiling Price violations" seems
to me, to be a case of passing the
buck. OPA cannot function ef-
fectively if the city government
will not back them up, when they
do attempt to prosecute those
who are taking advantage of the
war, by violating ceiling prices,
by operating black markets, for
their own personal gain.
The City of Dayton has no ade-
quate postwar program as yet.
We see a lot of publicity about
this group and that body advo-
eating certain things to be done
in the postwar period, but moth
ing definite is planned or assured.
We all know that Dayton is going
to be hard hit by unemployment,
relief problems, etc.. when the
war is ended. Our city govern
mert has not made any moves in

Guest House President
Advises Eviction Of
Excess Tenants
Miller Says Notices
Would AbsoIye Landlords
If They FoiIed to Move

Boarding, rooming and lodging
house operators are being advised by
the Washington Guest House AS
sociation to evict all tenants over
the nasaber of nine in buildings
where fire escapes otherwise would
be required, Paul Miller, association
president, said today.
He made the statement as a DEM
onstration that the association is
continuing its policy of seeking to
abide by the law" He warned op-
orators that in his belief the &C
ton of the District Commissioners
in calling off prosecution activities
in their drive against fire traps could
be regarded only as a temporary
respite
Our operators do not want to
be charged with criminal negli-
gence," said Mr.. Miller. But he
added that If the operators give
notices to their excess" tenants to
move and If they stay on, refusing
to leave, then the tenants them
selves are guilty of "contributary
negligence and the operators "are
absolved of any responsibility
whatsoever"
Mr.. Miller renewed his pledge that
the associat ton ito the limit of its
financial resources" would defend
any operator who may be taken to
court for prosecution on the grounds
he is operating without license. He
maintained the Commissioners
should not bring any such general
charges, but where evidence is
available should prosecute on spe-
ciflc charges as to violations of
health, plumbing, zoning, electric
and character regulations.
He did not list fire regulations,
suggesting that in his opinion the
Commissioners have deferred prose-
cutions only for the time being
since fire regulations are to be re-
vised. He said he expected a test
case would be made later.

Stalking tomatoes may seem some
what of chore, but it keeps the

The pruning of tomato vines for

comparatively simple task. The OBJ

side branches leaving only the main
stem and the flower clusters. How
ever, one does not need especial
training in botany to recognize the
flower buds. Pruning is usually de-
