Children Must
Have Mercy on
Easter Pets
By A ngelo Patri

Children are always interested in
animals. They are alone and they
move about and do unusual things
and the little ones are fascinated by
them. A puppy or kitten enchants
them. A baby chick or a bunny is
a delight to their eyes, People give
children pets at Easter time and the
children are pleased. The little
creatures that are sold as pets are
not so pleased. Many of them die
after great suffering. That should
not be.
Baby chicks are fragile things. A
squeeze will destroy them not with
merciful speed, but in slow agony.
A chick needs to nestle under the
hens wings, needs to be warmed
and fed and loved by its mother.
Sold to child who lives in city
apartment the poor little thing suf-
fers and dies. Only the rare one
survives to be taken at last and lib
Grated in the country.
Little children do not know how
to handle puppies. They require
special treatment to keep them
healthy and bring them to maturity.
A city apartment is hard on any
dog, but especially so for the puppy.
Unless some one who knows how to
rear and care for it has the puppy
in charge he should not be handed
to All infant for destruction. The
child is too young to understand the
need for loving, tender care for his
pet. He wants to hold him and
squeeze him. maui him about. and
that will kill the puppy and teach
the little one to be heartless and
cruel to animals.
Bunnies belong in the open coun-
try and not in dark, ill-smelling city
yards where there is neither SUM-
shine nor clover nor garden greens.
Unless he can be provided with
proper care, freedom to run, open
air and much letting alone. the bum
ny must die. Now Easter is the day
, of returning life. 1t is the day on
which we celebrate lifes triumph
over death. Yet here We are killing
Gods creatures needlessly, thought
lessly, often cruelty. Let's not.
There are stuffed chicks made out
of cotton, bunnies made of papier-
mache, candy and cakes. There are
toy puppies. Why not use them to
teach children to love the animals
and to care for them?

great assistance to proud relatives
and friends engaged in buying con-
gratulatory gifts or Easter remem-
brances for these women, who are
releasing men for active service.
For example, almost any bit of
regulation attire is welcome. Spe-
cial shops set up for women in uni
form present an array of these, but
many cannot be purchased except
by the girl herself. So, in the event
you want to buy distinctive item
of uniform and are unable to do so
in civilian status, you can arrange
for gift certificate that will enable
your favorite WAAC, WAVE, SPAR
or feminine marine to buy it in
person.
According to the poll, the WAAC
welcomes regulation shirts (which
civilians can buy, a portable radio
tstill some around, camera and
extra film and an alarm clock Gf
you can find one, let us know
WAVES would like regulation gloves,
hosiery for dress wear, portable
radio and stationery. incidentally,
this last item will give you a wide
range, for the girls like insignia
stationery, portfolios filled with es-
sentials for writing, post cards with
free" printed in the upper right
hand corner. and, if they are Off
GERS, calling cards engraved with
their rank.
Even though they are doing q
mans job, our women in uniform
are still enthusiastic about femi-
nine luxuries. High on their list of
preferences are makeup kits. bath
powder, toilet water. nail polish and
hand lotion. And they prefer fitted
toilet cases with mirrors to the un-
fitted kind.
Although they are not too excited
about rings, they like wrist watches
or Identification bracelets And they
have said an enthusiastic yes" to
such prosaic but useful items as pen
and pencil sets, loose-leaf notebooks,
cigarettes, ties and scarfs, cap cov-
ers for rainy days, white handker-
chiefs with initials, skirt hangers,
flashlights and overnight cases.
And there's more, too. just when
you had decided that there's moth
ing you can buy for woman in the
service" She'll take necessities
such as cleansing tissue, bobby pins,
clothes brushes, carry-all for
toothpaste, soap, name tags and
marking ink, rolls of nickels to buy
candy and soft drinks, a pocket die
tlonary, a pocket-sized Bible and
War savings bonds and stamps. The
WAACS aren't too enthusiastic about
gift Of lingerie, except pajamas,
but the WAVES like tailored bath
robes and dark slips that don't need
ironing.
This same survey discloSes that
the thought will be appreciated but
the gift will not if you send such
things as houSecoats and night
gowns, playing cards and diaries,
shower clogs and brass polish kits.
Nor will your uniformed recipient go
into raptures over magazine sub
scriptions, books, sports clothes,
portable monographs, records, pho
tographs In folding frames, food,
candy, technical books, sun glasses
and wardrobe bags. This seems to
hold pretty much true for all
branches of the services.
Naturally, no such survey can be
100 per cent correct, for individual
tastes and individual tasks will guide
many Of your purchases. There are
some girls, for example, who plan to
marry when the war Is over, or who
will marry while in the service, and
a number Of these have asked for
hope chests to be filled with linens,

For the most part, these girls say

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

the workers who are firmly deter
mined to win the war;" writes Hsueh-
fan Chu, president of the Chinese
Association of Labor, Chungking, in
report on economic and social condi-
tions in his native country to the
American office of the International
Transport Workers. Federation.
Mr.. Hsueh-fan Chu attended the in
ternational maritime conference in
London, England, last summer, as the
representative of the Chinese sea-
farers. He returned to Chungking last
November after a lengthy sojourn in
the United States, during which he
collaborated closely with the !. I. F.
in efforts to improve the conditions of
the Chinese seamen and gain recogni-
tion for them in the war shipping eff
fort of the United Nations.
New factories have been set up
though the situation has become in
creasingly difficult" Mr.. Hsueh-fan
Chu observes. "A gigantic plan for
the extension and amplifcation of the
industrial area of the North West has
been drawn up by our Government.
Progress in the conditions of Chinese
labor in general has been notable.
Though comparatively low paid, the
workers can at least earn an improved
living. Labor's welfare is seriously
considered and warmly supported by
most of our people. In our Association
which comprises the organized work
ers of our country, we have just
started relief work for skilled and
semi-skilled workers who had to be
evacuated from the occupied areas
and will soon be employed elsewhere.
Other welfare and social measures are
carried out step by step"

FRIDAY, APRIL 80, 1943.
JOURNALISTIC SCUM

A new low has been reached in
journalism in the nations capital.
Never very high, it has slipped down
a bit.
In the Times-H Herald of April II a
lady columnist castigated Mrs. Roose-
velt, for the way in which she had in
her "My Day" column described visits
to soldiers in hospitals; verbally
sneered at the thoughts of the Presi-
dents wife because she disagreed
with her.
And, to add luster to the sorry
spectacle, a Congressman had the
nasty column printed in the Congress
sional Record. And then another
Times-Herald columnist used it again
in the Times-Herald
When columnists have nothing else
to write about, or when they can't
take a slap at organized labor, they
try to pull down the Presidents wife.
If all of them together We're to at
tempt as much good for humanity
and the common people as Mrs.
Roosevelt they wouldn't know where
to start.
Vulgarity is never permitted in
these columns, but to our mind these
two TIL columnists and the Congress-
men are indulging in "snotty" busi-
ness.

MARCH OF HATE

The Minnesota incident of soldiers
attacking pseudo strikers is merely
the latest expose of the attitude of
army officials toward organized labor
1t has appeared in camps in other
localities. The army has school in
Fort Leavenworth for selected
business and professional men, where
in the students" are given an Army
Orientation Course" and sent back to
their own communities.
Perhaps you have no time to think
about such things, but army officials
and business big shots are thinking
about it. Seems civilians, clergy and
teachers are all wrong, so says the
army
"The remedy of this condition is
outside our province as army officers,
although some day, if the conditions
get bad enough, the army may be
forced to take over the direction of
many activities now considered to be
beyond the province of the military"
The same idea was prevalent in the

ABILITY OF WOMEN
WORKERS MUST
MATCH JOB

New York City (ILNS).-Charlotte
Carr, Assistant to the Deputy Chair
man of the War Manpower Commits
sion. in an address here stated that
the TRANSITION from manpower to
womanpower on the war production
front is not female problem but an
employment problem-a process of
adjusting millions of new workers to
new jobs"
Speaking before the Academy OF
Political Science at Columbia Unlver-
sity, Miss Carr said that in making
this transition, women workers, indus
try. and the Government face essen
TALLY the same difficulties that would
arise if millions of green men workers
were to be absorbed hurriedly into
expanding industries.
"To get the most out of this green
hand" Miss Carr said, "he-in this
case she-must first be directed to
work which matches her abilities, and
second must be employed under con-
ditions which make for top efficiency
In the old days we would have called
this a placement and personal man
agement problem. Today we call 1T
womanpower mobilization"

TISE of the International L r
L J Organization as the responsible
agency for insuring procurement of
needed raw materials from Latin
America without exploiting the un-
derprivileged workers in those coun-
tries, is urged by Robert j. Watt, AFL
international representative.
Mr.. Watt, who recently served as a
member of a commission which IN
vestigated conditions in the tin mines
of Bolivia, writes:
81 believe the enforcement of inter
national contract can be achieved
and misunderstanding eliminated or
at least minimized by placing the en-
forcement assignment in the hands of
a responsible international agency.
This can be done by mutual agree
ment without surrendering any basic
authority or impairing any nations
self-esteem.
"The International Labor Organi-
zation could provide the vehicle
through which collaboration or inde-
pendent sovereign states could be ac-
complished, the severe gn states
agreeing to maintain international
standards.
"Such agreement could provide the
machinery which would enable our ma
tion to secure needed materials with
out exploiting the underprivileged and
without violating the national pride or
sovereignty of the nations with which
we are doing business"

TRADES COUNCIL

Hamilton Cooperative Trades and
Labor Council met in regular session
Tuesday night with Ralph Morning
star presiding Twenty eight dele
gates answered the roll call.
The credentials of Fred Grant to
represent Molders' Union, No. 6S, for
the unexpired term of Stanley Ogg
were read, received and delegate
obligated.
The minutes of the last meeting
were approved as read.
A copy of a communication was
read from Fred Stitsinger, chairman
of the Butler County Republican
Committee, sent to Honorable Don c.
Power, Secretary to the Governor,
State House, Columbus, Ohio. The
letter was in response to the Building
Trades Council and the Cooperative
Trades and Labor Council endorsing
brother Frank Vidourek, a member of
the local Electrical Workers Union,
for the position of Deputy Supervisor
of the Industrial Commission Of Ohio.
The position was formerly held by the
late Stanley Ogg. The same as read
was received
Frank Vidourek stated that he
would probably know this week of his
appointment and thanked the council
delegates for their efforts in trying to
secure the appointment for him.
The different bills detrimental to
labor and now before the legislature
were discussed at length by the dele
gates. Joe Spaulding stated that the
Building Trades Council went on
record when any of these bills came
up for hearing and labor unions in
Hamilton were notified to send repre-
sentatives, that as many as possible
go, and asked council to consider it
also
When local unions are notified of
these hearings hereafter Joe Spauld-
ing will use his best efforts to get the
representation from both councils to-
gether to make the trip to Columbus
and the expense will be taken care of
by both.
A card was read from Mrs. Ogg
and family expressing their deep ap-
probation for sympathy extended by
trades council on the death of brother
Stanley Ogg.
The chair stated that at the next
meeting which will be held May 11th,
he would appoint new legislative
committee.
A committee consisting of Joe
Spaulding, Ray Caldwell, Frank vi
dourek and Ralph Morningstar was
appointed to investigate the advis-
ability of cooperating with the
c.. T. O. on legislative matters.

ton That's one of the evils of sys-
TEN that licenses a channel of express
sion. But that's how it is.
Our newspapers will fight harder
for fair expression, for a freedom
that safeguards freedom. They will
live under a fair censorship; but they
will battle hell out of an unfair one,
or one tortured to suit an individuals

1t may be that banned broadcast

THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet we tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes fippantly, some
times reckIessly.

Maybe this shouldn't be told, but
the temptation is great and here goes.
In certain city which shall, for
now, be nameless, defense council
radio program series has b e n
launched
One of these programs was sub
mitted to the local representative of
the Office of War Information.
The radio station submitted the
program to this local jefe.
He took look through the pages
and he said "Nixl"
He didn't challenge the truth of the
script He simply said it was too ex-
citing.
The program dealt with phase of
civilian defense. 1t was dramatic, to
be sure, with some gunfre-but its
thesis was true to the life.
Those who agree that such a power
should exist will please raise their
right hand.
Anyway, the script was forwarded
along to Washington, to Mr.. Elmer
Davis, chief of Owl and the chiefs of
the civilian defense organization in
the nameless city wait for their
answer.
The chairman of the defense coun-
Gil, the commander of the Defense
Corps and several other local defense
officials approved the script. They
WANTED it broadcast as an essential
part of the promotion of their local
defense program-but local OWL
official who never saw any of them
and whose name they do not even
know, said "Nix"-and unless Wash
ington rules differently, there stands
old man Censorship, unashamed if not
naked
Now the point seems to be-or one
point does at least-that the Owl is
an Office for the spreading of informa-
ton; NOT for the prevention of such
spreading.
For censorship we have an Office
Of Censorship under Mr.. Byron Price,
in Washington.
Censorship is a necessary thing.
But it CAN become hideous thing.
Mr.. Davis bright young man in this
case seems, at least to some, to be
verging on the hideous.
No military information was in
volved in this proposed broadcast.
The purpose was the education of
civilians in processes which they
ought to understand and which they
should understand for their own pro
lection.
The bright young manor maybe
he isn't-seems to have missed the
point.
''Too exciting" seems to be pecu-
liar reason for just saying mix"
The American people have accepted
censorship gladly. Our newspapers
have played the game in such a man
ner as to make the nation proud of
them.
The thing to worry about is that
just few breaks by supernuneraries,
W hipp r-snappers or pathological
cases can undo great deal of the
eager acceptance of censorship which
has been noted from coast to coast
Radio stations are mostly inclined
not to argue overly much. Their preci-
Gus licenses may be called into ques-
