Notes for
Miners

Have you noticed that a GER
tain publication widely circu-
lated in Georges Creek is adopt
ing more and more the vocabu-
larry of the Nazis and Fascists =?
We refer to John Lewis's or
gan, the United Mine Workers
Journal.
On page IL of the August 1
issue, for instance, there are
three references to the "inter-
national bankers" who, it seems,
"can virtually run this country
to suit themselves" Also, 1.-THE
international kers have
really ruled the British Empire
since 1922"
Now we aren't making any
predictions, but if and when the
miners organ begins to link up
international bankers" "Jew-
ish plutOcracy," and Jewish
BOlshevism"-well, what more
do you want?
The miners in the anthracite
have not only discovered the high
cost OF living, but are doing some
thing about it. While Lewis plugs
for imitation, miners around Shen-
andoah, Pa, have organized the
Anthracite Roll Back Price Com
mittee, circulated a petition for
prices to be rolled back to the level
of September, 1912, and offered
their services TO the OPA as price
wardens.
Also the Roosevelt administra-
tion, which comes in for villifica-
ton in every issue of the UNIV
Journal, has published new re-
port on the outrageous prices
charged by the "gyp" company
stores where most OF the miners
have 10 buy their supplies.

'Unwholesone Child

Washington. Aug. 21-A campaign
OF smearing OPA and the whole
idea Of price control now being
waged by the comic strip Little
Orphan Annie" was sharply pro-
tested today by the Congress of
Women's Auxiliaries of the CLIO.
which wrote the News Syndicate
Co, Inc. pointing out that Annie.
"a thoroughly unwholesome child"
was putting out anti-war and anti
price control propaganda.

participation IN the plan.
Since that time, however, the
percentage has dropped 10 57.9 per
cent. This large drop has been
caused not by lack of patriotism in
the knitting department, but by
various other causes, the first and
largest being the failure of the
committee members and the rank
and-file workers 10 bring the pay
roll savings plan 10 the attention
Of new employees.
The exact figures are not avail
able on the number of employees
from Warp Knitting who have en-
tered the armed forces. but il is
safe to say the labor turnover has
been over IS per cent. The SUBJ
department Of knitting alone lost
los men from &C" shift. This was
approximately 100 per cent turn
over.
MUST FIGHT SALES TAX
Another reason have heard dur
ing the past few weeks is the fact
that the 20 per cent federal tax is
already digging big hole in their
pay. We should pay our income
tax on a pay-as-you-go plan be-
cause we might be out OF job
after the war and owe lot Of in
come tax. However, the modified
Ruml Plan which put us on a pay
as-you-go basis, had very had
aspect. The millionaires were for
given seven billion dollars in taxes

Safety Program at Prospect
Will Receive Recognition

Authoritative recognition of the
Prospect schools teaching program
for the 1928 school year will be
made at 2:3O p. m, Wednesday.
October 10, with the presentation
Of trophy. 1t was announced to-
day by Ernest P. Davis, director OF
safety for the Automobile Club OF
Michigan.
The award, an attractive cup, is
made annually to the school in the
district that maintains the out
standing safety educational pro-
gram. The cup must be won each
year.
1.-THE fine work of this schools
principal and teaching staff during
the last school year has contribut-
ed to the safety OF their charges
and the community" Mr.. Davis
said. In this splendid program, the
objective of the teachers was to
develop within the children rec
ognition and appreciation OF road
way hazards and to teach them
how to cope safely with potential
" dangerous traffic situations.
Through a daily program OF in
struction in safe walking. safe play
ing and safe bicycle riding, teach
ers develop in children habits of
self-protection in traffic. Records
show that in this school there were
more safety instruction contacts
with students than in any other
school in the district.
experimenting the work OF the
teachers in the classroom is the
Safety Patrol which acts effective
ly in protecting students on the way
to and from school. The Safety Pa
troll movement started by the Auto
mobile Club of Michigan in 1919 has
grown steadily until today more
than 10000 Michigan students are
engaged in the work.
Traffic safety instruction Is
more important today than ever
before" Davis continued. while
IL is true that in some areas there
has been a reduction in automo-
tive travel, in other sections OF
the state, particularly industrial,
traffic is as great or greater than
ever before. In addition, new traffic
routes are being used. II Is impera-
tive that we give more attention to
the safety Of the children.
"School safety educational pro-
grams have been the major factor
in reducing child fatalities In trat-
fic, and the work OF the educators
| in this school and others in the
community in this field OF instruc-
ton will help to prepare the child
for safety in walking and playing
now, and also will carry through
into the period when there are no
restrictions on automotive travel
