GIVE GENEROUSLY
PRES. TRUMAN'S MESSAGE The White House, Washington
 September 8, 1945

September 5, 1945 Dear MT. Dearborn:
 Peace has ended premeditated killing on the battlefront, but it has not ended unintentional killing, by accidents, on the home front. It has, in fact, ironically increased the accident toll.
 A nation great enough to win a war for freedom is great enough to preserve the freedom won. One of these freedoms is security from needless death, destruction and suffering. Accidents destroy this security. America proved during the war that accidents can be re- duced, even under the most diffi- cult conditions, if we really want to reduce them. It is unthinkable that the Nation will lose the war against accidents after winning the war against the Axis. This must not and shall not happen.
 I have followed with great inter- est the work of the National Safe ty Council, aimed at reducing the mounting number of accidents and consequent prevention of human suffering. It is a work of conser- vation which cannot be too highly commended.
 therefore call upon the officer and directors of the National Safe ty Council to continue into the pe- riod of peace the assignment the Council received and so ably car- ried out in the period of war-the mobilization of the safety forces of the Nation in a united campaign against accidents of all kinds, that each year take the lives of tens of thousands of Americans.
 I call upon every citizen, in whatever capacity, to join this campaign and by personal example do his part to prevent the suffering. heartbreak and tragedy that ac- cidents bring.
 Very sincerely yours,
 Harry Truman. Ned H. Dearborn, Esq,
 President,
 National Safety Council, Chicago, Illinois.

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

According to William Green, president of the American Fedora ton of Labor, American workers were let down this week when the House Ways and Means Committee failed to act upon an memploy- ment compensation bill to meet the needs of a growing number of unemployed. Conservative govern ment statistics state that some B. OO0,000 persons have lost their jobs since V-J Day and that 5000, 900 will probably be out of work by January 1st In spite of this the House Committee said that it could not act upon an unemployment compensation bill because more concerto information" was needed to prove that unemployment is or will be acute.
 The failure to act upon an un- employment compensation bill and disregard of President Truman's statement that passage of such a bill is a matter of Justice and hu- manity" will leave millions of workers unprotected while the gi- gantic process of reconversiOn Is taking place in the country.
 Acting at once to protect those thrown out of work, William Green called for a reversal of the Com- mittees position and favorable ac- ton resulting in the creation of an adequate unemployment compensa- tion bill. Asking for the direct aid of President Truman, Green said. ''The AFL calls upon President Truman to show Congress the er- TOT of it's ways and to exert the kind of progressive leadership ne- cessary to guide the Nation"
 In his 21-point message to Con- gress President Truman strongly urged the passage of an unemploy- ment compensation bill. Protec- tion of workers now will help to avoid an economic upset, for it will keep families provided for un- til we. get back to full peace time production. A maximum of $25 for 26 weeks is not too much to ask to keep a family sheltered and fed during this temporary emergency.
 It may not be too late yet if the people act now and support Presi- dent Truman and William Green in their demand that the House re- consider proposals for an unem' ployment compensation bill. Oth- erwise much needed piece of leg islation will have been killed.

that the 2,5ss one, two, three and

solidated.
There are 4,4o2 public schools in

H. prefaced his recommen-

must need be even closer cooper

standards of education.
Improved educational facilities
can be offered to school children
in the lesser populated areas, he
said, il the smaller elementary
and high schools, both white and
negro, be consolidated. In that
way, he said, one teacher would
not have to teach several grades
and variety of subjects, in some
of which they have not been par
ticularly trained.
