One War Is Over; Another
War Is In The Maxine

World War l and 2 are over and a war looms on
the horizon in the making now to the win the peace.
Will the United Nations win World War 3 for the
peace Of the world? 1t remains to be seen-let us
hope that they will.
World War ! and 2 were born out Of the dark
ness of ignorance. World war 3 will need more in
tellectual thinking than World wars | and 2 had
and needed.
AS long as a handful of human beings think in
terms OF taking an economic advantage of the weak
we are going to continue to have and permit a SOC
ity that will breed more Weaknesses "a inhabit this
planet.
Weakness is part Of the family of ignorance. and
ignorance is the fundamental home where wars be-
gin. Lit IS strange that society will continue to per
init an environment around them that will produce
such greed on the part of the sO-called intellectual
ly among us. Greed to get something for nothing.
greed to take economic advantage of the weak
and the meek. This greed is the number one root
Of evil of all wars. w.
We permit a society to give the human family diff
ferent racial identities for the purpose of creating
racial hatred minded groups with intent to take
advantage OF one another. We should ali know,
(that is if we have just ordinary horse sense) ac-
cOrding to the worlds best teacher, the book which
we claim to love and have 50 much respect for. the
Bible, that racial difference is only in the minds Of
the unenlghtened, the ignorant of human beings.
We all came from the Garden Of Eden and accord
ing to the Holy Bible, there were Just two peoDle
IN the beginning yes sir, two human beings of one
blood and flesh, and according to the greatest teach
er who ever lived and according to just plain horse
sense, we should at least know enough to treat an.
other human being like we want to be treated. and
have the true love in our heart for our neighbors AZ
well as for ourselves.
There just isn't anything in the book as an Eng
hshman, a Jew, an Italian, Mexican. Frenchman.
a Canadian, a Negro, japanese or a Chinaman-
THESE are all names which have been Civ Ell to us
solely for the purpose Of dividing different groups
one against the other, for the purpose Of taking
economic advantage Of them.
TO win World war and the peace on earth,
there Is just one thing to be done by the human
family, and that is each Individual. each cornor.
alton, each political organization, to make up their
minds to treat and deal fairly with the other fellow
as they would want the other fellow to treat and
deal fairly with them. All should bear in mind that
they are their brothers keeper and that the old
familiar saying is still the law in the human family.
namely nothing goes over the devils back that
VIII not buckle under his belly, and that what
ever you hand out to others, will be handed back to

WORKERS SAFETY, FIRST AID
OFFERED BY RED CROSS

Cooperating with the Division of
Labor Standards, U. S. Department
Of Labor, in the fourth Of a series Of
industrial safety programs, the Amer
lean Red Cross will offer first aid
courses to workers Of the fabricated
structural steel industry during a
four-month campaign beginning Au-
gust l..
In three previous nationwide safety
campaigns conducted by the Labor
Department, first aid training has
demonstrated its worth in preventing
accidents as well as in preparing
workers to care for themselves and
others who are injured.
In 1914 approximately 600 work
! ers, or one out Of every II, in the
fabricated structural industry were in
iured or killed, and 100000 man
hours were lost as a result Of acct
dents, according to the Bureau Of La
Dor Statistics. This industry piled up
one of the ten highest accident rec
ordS in the nation in 1914, with an
injury frequency rate of 34.7 per mil
lion man-hours. This was 1910 above
the average for all manufacturing.
Made up Of more than LOO indi-
vidual establishments, the industry
has plants in nearly every one of the
48 states with heaviest concentrations
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, California,
New York and Illinois.
AS in the past, Is other national
agencies also are cooperating with the
Labor Department in various phases
Of the safety campaign. The Red
Cross contribution Of first aid training
will be made through local chapters,
with the cooperation of the area
offices, in communities where steel
fabricating plants are located.
