UREDN1KOVA P0$TA

tovarise v jeci, stopi v sluzbo
gestapa, XII jo opravlja, dokler
ga zviti partizanski doktor Mroz
ne razkrinka.
Starr mlinar Rutar je eden
tistih dragocenih ljudi, XII malo
govore, znajo dolgo casa prena-
sati krivico, toda kadar jim je
mera polna, tedaj Sc upro Ia
ko silo, da jih nihee vec ne mo-
re ustaviti. Rutar je 1.-Two ma
sprotje svoje zene; zadrzan,
odloeen, premisljen in neomaj-
no posten. In ko sc zdi, da je ze
klonil pod Ferlezevim pritis-
kom, pa iznenada Erase pre- d
svojim nasprotnikom v vsem
svojem puntarskem ponosu. Ii
sti hip, ko Ferlez misli, da ga
je zlomil, Sc Rutar dvigne in
upre rekoc: Hotel ste mas
spremeniti v pse, pa ste n a S
spremenili v volkove!"
Rutarica je robata, brezob-
zirna in razburljiva babnica, "a
verovana v svoj grunt in Min.
Sebiena, ko oeita Rutarju, da je
bedak ker prodaja glavo "a
stvari, XII ga mic ne brigajo.
Svoj znacaj najbolje oznaci s
sledeco napovedjo: "Moje SAME
Sc zmerom uresnicijo. In snoci
sc mi je sanjalo, da smo vsi
skupaj bingljali. I'll (Ruter) ma
hruski, JAZZ ma cesnji, Vida ma
slivi, tt Ferlez, da, capin, nihce
drugi kakor tt, pa 81 stal spo-
daj in nam jerk kazal."
Vida, njena hci, je izobrazeno
kmecko dekle, postena toda il
mucena' cd prestanega TRIPLE
MIA v jeci. Navzlic temu port
vovalno in vztrajno organizira
odpor proti okupatorju. Imela
je fanta Mihola, pa ga je Fer
lez sprawl poti' in jo resil il
jece, da bi jo pridobil "a svoje
umazane namene. Memo dusev-
no stanje jo po silno napetih
prizorih pritira do samomora.
Doktor Mroz igra vohunsko
vlogo v prid partizanov. S po-
narejenimi dokumenti razkrin-
ka podlega Ferleza. Mroz je tip
iznajdljivega, segavega parti-
zanskega zdravnika, XII Sc znaj-
de vvsakem polozaju. Najbolje
oZnaci samaga sebe, ko pravi:
"Tale hudournik je doktor Mroz.

OUR FIRST DUTY
By Ruth Taylor

You can't hold another fellow down
in the ditch, unless you stay down
there with him. know that saying
of Booker T. Washington's has been
quoted until it is threadbare.
But there never has been a time
when it wasn't true Or truer than it is
today
Only as we consider the good of all,
can we attain enduring prosperity, Sc
curity and happiness. We admitted
this fact while we were at war. Why
can't we admit it in peace?
Most Of the things troubling US to-
day are the result Of attempts of in
dividuals or groups to get for them
selves alone, what even though it is
justice-are the rights of all. Only
when we consider as individuals
as a nation-what is good for all, can
we have lasting good for any. Our first
duty is to be fair to humanity.
Slums in community mean breed
ing place of epidemics which strike
far and wide Fire hazards are dam
ger to a whole town. Lack Of parks
and Fairgrounds spawn delinquent
children and start crime waves. Low
wages and high living costs hit the
pocketbooks of all those who sell
goods. Lack of educational facilities
means unframed men and women, in
capable of earning enough to live de-
Gently.
Unless all men are trained for work,
both of hand and mind; unless all men
are taught to think clearly, and are
able to look ahead to q livable future,
the nation will be prey to epidemics
of isms, of false doctrines, of quack
economic theories. Gladstone said:
National injustice is the surest road
to national downfall"
Only as we all work together for
the common good-can there be any
good. The way to get equal opportun-
ity for all is to work together, instead
of to fight each other.
After all, social justice is nothing
more nor less than the application of
the Golden Rule to the affairs of
daily life In childhood we all had to
commit this rule to memory Now as

BUILDING TRADES
DEPT. AGREES TO
AID in HOUSING

Washington, D. c. Marking a
long step toward insuring uninter-
pupted development of the Govern
ment's vast emergency home-building
program, the Building and Conctruc-
tion Trades Department Of the AFL
signed a memorandum of under
standing" with Housing Expediter
Wilson w. Wyatt signifying agree
ment ''to use every means within it's
power to bring about settlement of
any industrial conflict" that may
threaten a stoppage of work.
Signatories to the agreement for
the AFL were R. j. Gray, acting
chairman of the Executive Council of
the Building and Construction Trades
Department, and Herbert Rivers, sec
retary- treasurer. Wyatt and his chief
general deputy, Kirby Smith, signed
for the Government.
Under the agreement, a Construc-
tion Labor Advisory Committee was
created by the AFL group. 1t is COM
posed of Mr.. Gray, secretary treas
urer, Bricklayers, Masons and Plas-
terers; President William Maloney
international Union of Operating En-
gineers; President Robert Byron, In
ternational Sheet Metal Workers;
President Edward Brown, Interna-
tional Electrical Workers, and Gen
eral Organizer Thomas O'Brien, In
ternational Teamsters.
The memorandum said in part:
"The Building and Construction
Trades Department of the American
Federation of Labor and its affiliated
Building and Construction Trades
Councils throughout the Nation are
prepared to provide the maximum
degree of cooperation to the National
Housing Expediter in furthering the
progress of the Emergency Housing
Program. National and Internationa
Unions in the Building and Construc.
ton Trades are prepared to render
their best services nationally, region
ally, and locally in meeting the hous
ing emergency by getting the job OF
building homes done well and done
with speed.
"In order to make their cooperation
with the Housing Expeditor effective
in all phases of the program, it is the
desire of the Building Trades Depart
ment to establish a working relation
ship with his office which would make
it possible to resolve after full con
