raise $4,000 through the sale of
War bonds he would be doing some
thing constructive for his bigger

his sales for two months being over
the $4,000 mark.

technique.
you know war is going on" he
told prospect, but you don't know
I'm close to my S51 900 quota. Won't
you please buy a bond today?"
In two instances his appeal
nttted sales. one for $500 and an
other for s1O0.
Il don't expect every one to say
yes, so don't allow myself to be-
come discouraged when a prospect
says no." he remarked. 1T makes
me feel good, though, when they
say yes
His face lighted up when he was
asked his biggest thrill yet.
1T was the day a lady bought
$1,000 in bonds and paid for them
in cash. One was a 1000 bill, the
first I had ever seen"
On another occasion Stanley says
he carried $500 in checks to the
District War Finance Committee
offlce, representing bond payments.
On Saturdays. his school holiday,
he sells War bonds by telephone.
On Sundays and at nights he is also
on the job.
Sure, he likes to play baseball,
like other boys, but the War bonds
come first. If I don't try to help
now, I might not be able to play
baseball il Hitler won this war" he

RICHMOND, Va, May 2.-(R)-
Governor Colgate W. Darden, Jr.,
called on upward of $4,000 Virginia
coal miners today to comply with
President Roosevelt's BACK to work
request and warned that failure to
sustain the president at this critical
moment not only places in jeopardy
the lives Of our troops but strikes
Gripping blow at the whole labor
movement.
Upon the outcome Of this strug-
gle organized labor has everything
at stake" said the governor in a
telegram addressed to the coal min.
ers Of Virginia, John Saxton, presi.
dent of United Mine Workers Dis.
trict 20, Norton, Va, and William
Minton, secretary-treasurer of the
UNIV district. "If we fail in this un-
dertaking your right to organize and
to strive for better working condi.
tions will be swept away in a. tor.
rent of tyranny and oppression"
The governors telegram said also
that II do not believe that the peo.
pie of Virginia will look with any
sympathy on the course which is
proposed by Mr.. Lewis"
At the same time he announced
the dispatch of the message to the
miners, Darden also disclosed that
he had offered the states assistance
to the federal government in the
mine emergency and had expressed
the hope to Major Edwin
Watson, presidential aide, that the
president would hesitate to sent
troops into the Virginia mine fields
unless the need seemed urgent.
The governor said he told Gener
al Watson in a telephone converse
tion that there was nothing to indi
cate any violence in the Virginis
fields at present and that he ant
