JUNE l4TH

JUNE 14TH
June IA is Flay Day and our
national emblem of the free viii.
fl y by the flags of our allies again
this year. To pay it praise we
must first honor its glory and
recognize its worth, in our hearts
and minds. If we are not deeply
stirred as the country's flag un-
furls, then we cannot justly ap-
preciate that for which it stands.
There should be something very
inspiring about Old Glory wav-
ing, a consciousness that over
many beloved heads on many for
eign soils, this flag looks down
Those stars bring tears to mans
eyes in some hell hole of battle
those stripes bind together in
fellowship boys of all colors or
some foreign strand. Do we ap-
preciate the beauty of our flag
less at home than were we on 8
field of combat? This should moi
be so. To a man, we raise ouI
eyes in a salute to the banner
of our national redemption.

There isn't much likelihood that
the government will take over the
country newspaper business. The
country newspaper business these
duration days cannot be handled
from a swivel chair in the front
office or by any other means of
remote control. It takes an in
dividual who can shuck his coat
and get into a printers apron and
run the linotype, take proofs,
make up the forms, operate the
press, cast the cuts, set type and

CHICAGO, Nov. 21. (UP)
Sidney Hillman, chairman
of the CIO Political Action
Committee, said Tuesday he
expected the PAC to be kept
intact and predicted that its
activities, heretofore confin-
ed mostly to the nations in
duStrial centerS, would be
expanded to the rural areas,
particularly the Midwest.
Hillman, here for the National
convention of the CIO. said the
PAC, if continued, would stand as
"a Potent force to mobilize public
awareness of the issues before con-
eress" between elections.
The GRO convention will take up
the function of the PAC at its bus
mess session this week. Continual
ton of the PAC already has been
recommended by the CIO executive
council and the 1000 delegates meet
ing here are expected to approve
its extension.
Hillman said he expected the
PAC ito do its best to see that the
program fought for in the election
campaign is carried out" and that

Cleanup Plan
For f. T.. Streets

When the FL Centre city council
meets in special session Wednesday

problem of keeping the citys streets
and alleys clean.
The topic will lie raised by COun-
Gilman Robert HattOn. street COM
missioner, who will present plan
that will be based on a proposal
for the city to collect tree cuttings.
At the present time. the city does
not collect tree cuttings because it
is forbidden to collect any refuse
that is not in barrels.
HATTON'S PLAN
What Hatton is expected to SUBJ
gest is that the city will collect
tree-cuttings if the taxpayers will
buy or build approved incinerators
TO rthe disposal of smaller and read
lily combustible refuse.
Hatton'S proposed measure will
have the strongest support from
Fire Chief Corn Reed, who believes
that the litter in Ell Centre is q
leaoing source of fires.
In discussing the present cam
paign to clean up the city and
reduce fire hazards, Reed said Tuts-
day that he hoped housewives will
be very careful, IN view of the
fuel shortage, in their use of kero-
sene and electrical heaters. which
will commonly replace usual heating
systems.
