Thoughts as the New
Year Comes Around

or in a related line to your inter.
ests. Let's get in there and pitch
give of yourself.
1t is a certainty that the boys
alone cannot win the victory for
US. A letter to them means so
much and it really takes very little
effort on our part to write one. One
of the simple New Years resolu-
tons can be Keep up my CORE
spondence with a soldier boy"
Hardly letter 1 have received has
not expressed such sincere and deep
appreciation for my writing with
plea somewhere to hurry and an
swer and do not disappoint me by
waiting too long.
One of my favOrite radio COM
mentatOrs said her prime resolution
for her New Year is to forget about
so many "duty-MneheOns" and have
lunch sometime with someone with
whom she just really wants to chin
and eat while she does it. Kinda
hard / know when lunch dates have
become a must" to get things done
in this busy world. Admitted you
can sOrta kill two birds with one
shot.
The s. o. S. from Tuskegee In
stitute, through DR.. F. D. Patter-
son, for gifts for needy families for
Christmas was answered in a blaz-
ing manner by the 85th Aviation
Squadron (Separate) Army Airport
Technical Training School, Sioux
Falls. These service men, 278 in
number, made up a purse of ST.
202.50, which was supplemented by
a donation from the officers of the
organization to make the total gift
1,227.50. A member Of the COM
pany flew to Tuskegee and pre-
sented the check to President Pat
terson who assured them the gift
would be used in accordance with
their wishes and also said "much
good will be accomplished in bring
ing Santa Claus to many who other
wise would be deprived of any
visible evidence of the Spirit of
Christmas this year." And these
are soldiers at work, still sacriic-
ing. Makes our sacrifice look a
little small, doesn't it?
We began with Phillip Brooks so
let US end with him. He once said,
1--WE grow like what we think of,
so let US think of the good, the
true and the beautiful" A fine
resolution and after twelve months
of such discipline, we can make
more rigid resolutions for 1914.

In the first place, I am a poor
man, and have the viewpoint of
the average citizen. BY that,
mean I am prone to e things as
a wage Garner who is an average
tax payer. I know that tenants
pay taxes just as property owners
must and do. Perhaps, a tenant
may not have the same response
bilities as a landlord, but in the
long run the tenant pays as many
taxes as a property owner.
We all realize the city must
have an income to carry on. the
proper functions of a municipal
ity. I have no suggestions to Of
fer regarding new sources of in

home owner is overburdened with
taxes today.
I would like to say, that as a
Daytonian who believes in the
future of Dayton, and If I am
fortunate enough to be elected
to the office of City Commissioner,
I would try to foresee the future
as much as possible, as well as
the present. If elected, I will act
according to my best judgment in
the interests of all citizens of
Dayton.
1t is absolutely necessary that
do everything possible to win
this war honorably, in order to
win the best peace possible. Lo-
cally, at the present time Dayton
is confronted with a congested
area as regards housing and trans
p~ortation facilities. We have had
a large influx of workers into the
city the past two years.
This influx of workers was
caused by Dayton being the cen

which were discussed, included
adjustment of inequalities, pro-

Agreement was reached on sew

ers, plus the diversified and large
industries in Dayton. Dayton's
industrial machine was greatly
expanded to meet the demands of
the war effort, with result of an
acute shortage of housing facili-
ties.
The workers of Dayton need
homes, homes that they can relax
and live in as decent American
citizens. We need more and bet
ter houses instead of box cars to
live in. I must admit that once
the war is ended, many of the
people who immigrated to Dayton,
will return to their native states
and homes. It is a practical think
ing to say that so per cent of the
people who have come to Dayton
the last two years will stay in
Dayton in the postwar period.
This will result in Dayton being
expanded. Good substantial homes
are necessary, so Dayton does not
accumulate any more slum dis
tricts than we now have. There
should be an effort made on the
part of the people of Dayton to
eliminate our slum districts and
sub-standard housing.
When the war is ended, Dayton
will have a terrific overload on
the relief funds, and all other
agencies who aid the needy. Day
ton will have an excess of sub
standard housing, with the result
of depreciation of values of prop
erty surrounding these sections of
sub-standard houses and sluns.

When our boys left their homes
to serve in the armed forces of our
country, many the promises
that were made by management,
hat "They shall be given their
jobs when they return! Nothing
is too good for the men who are
defending us! Their pay shall be

ises and hung honor scrolls OIL
their office walls to honor those
who followed the Flag.

received an honorable medical
discharge from the Navy of our
United States and returned to his
job, thinking he was picking up
his life where it had been SO

months previous. He resumed his
job Cat a rate usually connected
with a thriving sweatshop), under
the impression that he would soon.
be given a raise. He wa due for
said raise one week after he had
left for the service, and he was
also eligible for a vacation with
pay! 80
Came the awakening; Manage
ment informed this boy that there
would be no raise, and no vacation
for him, thereby repaying a coed
employee for risking his life to
defend his country! This sounds
like a good plan for the Egry man.

workers. If you can't get them
shot defending our homes and our
nation, you wait till they come
home and then try starving them
to death!
The case has gone through the
grievance procedure to the third
step, and the latest magnificent
offer of management is a five-cent
raise and future raises until the
returned service man has reached
the tremendous sum Of seventy
four cents an hour. This period
will cover eighteen months, not
counting the time that he served

Word has reached us that the

to horn in the Soldiers Service

ly by patriotic Dayton women,
who receive no pay for their

The Soldiers Service Club has

the splendid work that they are
doing for the benefit Of our boys

to us that the USO officials are
jealous of the accomplishments Of
the Soldiers Service Club, and wish
to gain control of the organize
