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

Well, the blow fell on the Eastern
Seaboard. Folks thought they owned
automobiles which they could drive
wherever their gasoline would get
them.
And suddenly it was ordained that
they couldn't drive at all for fun.
Certain essential driving was all the
driving to be allowed. And rude per-
sons began putting tags on cars found
at pleasure places, such as race track
and night clubs.
Washington tells US that folks are
taking to the new restriction without
much gripping. Maybe so. But that
isn't the way you hear it when you
meet folks who aren't talking for pub
lication. They just plain don't like it..
Bot also they watch their driving
because they don't want to loose their
ration books. When cold weather gives
way to spring it may be that more
gasoline will be available and those
books may be good for something
again.
The restriction on car driving is
perhaps the fiiercest cut we have ever

NOW is TIME TO END POLL TAX

In the poll tax states, 10 million
loyal men and women are held in poll
tical peonage. Voteless, they are
voiceless when the cry of our people
for freedom for all men needs des-
perately to be heard above the clash of
arms.
They are a subject people. While
their sons fight to establish the right
of all men everywhere to choose their
own government, these people are
held silent by price tag on the bal
lot. This is not a southern problem.
1t is burden upon the whole nation.
The South's high death rate, it's low
standards of public health, its made
quate schools, its poverty, its depleted
land-all handmaidens to the poll tax
system-are a costly drag upon the
entire country.
Abolish the poll tax, and we will
proclaim before the world that Amer
lea practices the Four Freedoms we
preach.
Destroy the poll tax system, and
we will shatter the coalition of reac-
tionaly forces now planning to ham,
string the Presidents war program.
Now is the time to do it!

GET LABOR REPRESENTATION! /!

Orders concentrating production of
civilian goods for home use in a linn
tied number of plants may mean life
or death to the plants where our
members work." the American Fed
Grafton of Labor points out.
The War Production Board has
stated definitely that both manage
ment and labor are to be consulted
before these orders are issued. On
unions rests the responsibility to see
that labor is adequately represented
in every case so that workers inter
ests may be protected.
President Roosevelt has declared
that a workers seniority should be
protected not only when he enlists in
the armed services, but also when a
plant is closed, or when he is trans
ferred to war work. In every case of
plant closure it is vital that an agree
ment with the employer provide for
maintenance of seniority so that the
worker who returns to his job after
the war may take up his seniority
where he left it when he transferred.

HVIDENCE that all is not well
IL within Maitland continues to pile
up. Most significant is the news of
labor unrest and sabotage.
Secret information to the Interna-

KACANOWICz' ONE-HIT PITCHING JOB
AND HEAVY BAT GAVE COAST GUARD
MATES VICTORY OVER SOUND SCHOOL
Outcome Never In Doubt;
Lone Hit Obtained By
Losers Came In Final
Inning

Ed Kacanowicz pitched and
batted his Coast Guard baseball
team to another triumph in the
American League last night when
he gave up but one hit to the
Sound School and Knocked out
three in four trips himself for an
eventual Al victory.
The issue was never in doubt
and as the innings went by the
interest of the fans became CEN
tered on whether or not the big
lad from Kewanee, H., would
duplicate last weeks feat of Art
Meska, MOB moundsman, in
scoring no-hitter.
The fates were not so kind, how
ever, because in the last stanza.
Koenders, Sound School center
fielder, dashed out a terrific single
over second base to ruin all hopes
of a perfect game.
Kacanowicz gave just about his
finest exhibition of the season. He
issued no walks and struck out ten
as his curves and fast ball had the
Soundmen baffled all afternoon.
The Coast Guard hoped on
Hunt, losing hurler, in the first
when CurHbie, centerfielder, sim
gled, advanced on a sacrifice and
came in with two away when IA,
canowicz lived on an error.
They got another in the secc- a
when Brubaker, third base an,
was hit, stole second, went to
third and came in shortly on q
fields choice.
The victors got their other two
in the third. Walton, shortstcr.
singled, Wiles leftfielder, doubled
and Brubaker singled Mclean and
Kacanowicz home
The Sound School obtained ii
lone counter in the fourth when
Constantine, shortstop, reached
first on misplay, went to second
on an overthrow and kept coming
all the way around before the
fielders had settled down to and
regained control of the ball.
Hunt of the losers famed six
and walked none. Besides Kac-
anowicz' three in four trips to the
plate, Boaz, rightfielder had two
singles in three chances to share
the Coast Guards offense.
Tonight the Marines return to
action against the 50th Coast Ar
tillery OF Fort Taylor and tomor-
row the Naval Operating Base
will oppose Boca Chica. Thurs
day the Marines meet the Sound
