New Yorker
 Dies In Crash Of AirpIone

Whitinsville Mass, Sept. 3. CUP) An investigation was planned to- day in the death of Robert Raisch, 18, of New York who was fatally burned in the crash of a private passenger plane which he allegedly piloted without permission.
 Forrest Brothers, owner of the plane, said Raisch apparently had taken the two-passenger plane without permission. He said the youth, who was employed by him as an odd-jobs boy. had no pilots license.
 Bremen had to cut Raischs body from the twisted wreckage of the plane after it crashed and burned in wooded gully near the tracks of the Providence Worcester divi- sion of the New Haven Railroad. A witness said the plane climbed about 300 feet after a takeoff from a nearby farmyard where the craft was housed, then lost altitude and crashed.

 Charges Against
 Risdon Company
 To Be Probed

AS the strike against the Water bury plant of the Risdon Manufac- turing Company started its third week today, union sources said they expected a field representative of the National Labor Relations Board to come here within a few days to conduct a hearing on the unions charges of unfair labor practices.
 Joseph McEvoy. business agent of Local 251, said that the spirit of the strikers remained high. The plant, he said, is able to do little or nothing on production.
 Union employees, represented by Local 251, Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers Union, C.IO., began their strike Aug. 20, following a company announcement that 1t would no longer recognize the union as bar gaining agent. Tickets have been on duty daily since the start of the strike.

.4 -'..t '.t majority of Americans. A reading of our history and of the autObiOg- raphy of Samuel GOmpers, for in- stance, shows that much progress has been made toward economic freedom. This freedom was made against the most de- termined opposition, not only from employers and the rich, but from the courts and legislative bodies. Working men like Lincoln, Comp CTS, and the much-debated Lewis, have risen to lead whole segments of the working people out of squa- Tor, ignorance and economic slav- cry. They did it not just by in- spired words, but by grim savage infighting against some very real and powerful enemies.
 To end slavery, both personal and economic; to completely stamp out child labor; to put an end to unemployment and to wars; to clean out the disgraceful slums of our cities; to smash feudal systems such as have always existed in the coal mining districts; to give security in old age or i'll health to the less fortunate and the less gifted among us; to open up opportunities for education, training and recreation for all; such are some of the great aims of Labor's great leaders, past and present.
 These aims have been only par tialIy accomplished, and nothing is ever permanent. No truer words were ever spoken than that famous line of President George Washing tom; "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" The fight must go on, no matter how tough and bitter the opposition is. The extremist in the well-heeled minority camp are dragging along many well-inten- toned industrialists, politicians and ''moulders of public opinion" and perhaps even a President. With most of the newspapers (whose only crusades these days are hot chases after dollars) screaming at us, and many political hopefuls yelling their heads off in this election year, we'll have to keep steady, that's all.
 Let us keep steady and have faith in our cause and in our leadership and in our friends. Let us stick sOlidly to the idea that this great and rich country belongs to us, the PEOPLE, not to any upper crust, and that WE must develop it for OUR benefit. And let's not forget where we will be if we lose heart and let the Labor movement break up!

 For money hungry me. Sunday is day of rest But I'll be up at dawn To make myself buck an hour Moving some rich mans lawn. Or maybe will dig some clans Although the work is hard But still my times not wasted For I'll sell them in the yard. I'll put them in fresh water And let them soak all night So there'll be twice as many To treat the suckers right. My wife she packs two lunches But think that's only fair When I bring home two pay checks One from here and one from Gair. She meets me at the curb each day When l drive by at four l grab my second lunch box And it's off to work once more. Vacation time is drawing near To me it's mighty fine For then I'll work at Babcock's And collect some overtime. I furnished my garage last month And now it brings in rent If can just sublet my house I'll move into a tent.

L-614 BOilermakers
 Wants Men

Now that the steel is beginning to pour in again BoilermakerS Lodge 614, of New London is being swamped with requests from Lo- calls all over the country for men. The rates are anywhere from $150 to $175 for helpers and $19O to $2.25 for mechanics Any member of 614 taking these jobs does not have to join any of the locals in whose territory he works, but needs only a paid up card in GA.
 Within the next several weeks, the Lodge will need from 50 to 100 men for work in Providence and other parts of New England This is indeed a break for the many who have been terminated.
 Since the AFofL has been the bargaining Union at the Electric Boat Co, and since employment terminations started the various trade unions that make up the Met al Trades Council have found em- ployment at union wages and work ing conditions for hundreds of men. That Union card is friend indeed to not only the man who has a job, but to the unemployed as we'll. 'No one looks after you like your Union does" is true ex- pression and one well to remember!

~n this modern age, there has been great emphasis placed on hastening the child to the day when he accepts completely grown-up diet. The younger a given child can. reach this milestone in his food-habit training, the prouder his parents are.
 So intent are parents on accom- plishing this goal, they sometimes lose sight of the fact that there might be periods, even in the life of older children, when a reversion to infant or small child diets would be desirable.
 Examples of such times of stress would be teething periods, various digestive disturbances, and other illnesses. At such times, a child will frequently welcome food that doesn't require much chewing and goes down easily. ...., A return to some of the well- known baby foods would be the easiest way for the mother to meet these special needs. But these chil7 dren have acquired an eye for at tractively prepared foods and would not always be content with undoctored canned foods. The re- cipes below suggest interesting, but, easily handled foods.
