Bojangles
Shou Grand
Success

The show put on last Thursday
at the Pabst theatre by Bill
"Bojangles" Robinson and his
Concert" revue was grand sue
cess according to the damned the
atre audience and even the critics.
The popular and apparently in
destructible Robinson who is 70
years old, danced as nimbly and
lithely as a man four times as
young. The famed dancer was at
his tappingest best and the audi
ence showered with its apprecia-
ton of his talents.
Appearing with Robinson were
the deep River Boys, a famed
quartet that can really sing as
proved by the numerous radio and
screen engagements for which
they are in constant demand.
They, too, scored a hit.
Another popular performer on
the show was Olivette Miller, a
good looking young woman who
sang several nu m b ers from
"Bloomer Grip and then proceed
ed to swing on the harp, a feat
that proved most enchanting to
the full house.
The other soloist was Frances
Palm, mezzo soprano whose songs
ranged from the lofty to the low.
The accompanies were Cameron
Williams and Arthur Gibbs.

THINGS TO THINK
ABOUT

'It is unique, an almost frighten-
ing situation II. Germany may not
again become, and probably will not
become, a military menace for a long
time, if ever, but she may easily be-
come no less dangerous menace of
another kind as vast depressed area.
Destroy the Germany Of Bismarck
and Hitler. By all means, do away with
a highly centralized Germany !. but
don't attempt to destroy a great his
toric people or their homeland or their
means of livelihood. The attempt won't
only be a crime but an error doomed
to failure; and the failure may be as
great as the original offense of Ger
many,"- Prime Minister Jan Chris
tian SHUTS, South Africa.
Total military victory in the war
has achieved none of the great pur-
poses for which we were told it was
fought. The physical hunger of the
world is more terrible than ever be-
fore. It's political confusions are more
extensive and it's hatreds more con-
suming. Nazi totalitarianism is shat
tered beyond power to menace the
world, but there is reason to fear the
Soviet dictatorship is set upon an
equally ruthless drive for power with
far greater latent strength behind it,"

leaders had been named to post of
high responsibility in the national
government.
That leader is Phil Hannah, agile
minded, secretary-treasurer of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor, whom
President Truman has appointed As

United States.
The states organized labor move

of the singular honor and recognition
accorded the popular and extremely
able, young treasurer OF the
State Federation.
Hannah entered the labor movement
as lad of 13, when he went to work
in the collieries of western Pennsyl-

member of the United Mine Workers
Union. He worked beside his father

The secretary can well use some addi-

in Washington. While Mr.. Hannah will
take definite labor partisanship to
the department in Washington, we
have confidence that he has the intel
ligence to help ster Government rela-
tions with labor in a statesmenlike
manner.

sponsibility, and we hope his appoint

Savings Bonds The
Best Investment For
Local Union Funds

Addressing the recent Virginia State
Federation of Labor Convention, Mr..
Samuel Miller, Business Agent, Re-
tail Clerks International Protective
Association, Local 635-A, Washington,
D. c., made strong plea for the in
vestment of union funds in Govern
ment Savings Bonds.
"About two years ago, Mr.. Ernest
Fontana, Field Representative, Labor
Section, Government Savings Bonds
Division, appeared before our local
union and asked us to support the
(then) War Bond campaign" Mr. Mil
Ter said.
"We promised this support, and for
this purpose appointed committee
to solicit purchases. of Bonds from
members to whom the Payroll Savings
Plan was not available. At the same
time our executive board considered
the matter of investment of our union
funds. 1t was decided that in the fu-
ture all funds in the local treasury
over $4,000 would be invested in Gov
ernment securities.
II am glad to report that our or
ganization is very grateful to Mr.
Fontana for his advice. Every six
months our interest checks come in
These interest checks of course in
crease with the volume of our invest
ment and they now constitute consid-
cradle portion of the overhead expense
Of maintaining our union.
81 strongly recommend that every
local union adopt the same policy
Why let your money lie idle when
this constitutes more than the cur
rent needs of your union? Government
Savings Bonds are the best invest
ment in the world-and the safest!
They are, to all practical purposes,
as fluid and available as checking
account. At the same time, investment
in Savings Bonds is patriotic service
and safeguard against inflation!"
