SNAKE POTATO

Mrs. Grace Moore mo kin

Though not particularly
fond of snakes, or sweet po-
tatoes, the Star reporter who
answered the call nevertheless
felt his curiosity piqued.
His first question was: "Did
it scare anybody" Mrs. Moore
replied, "Not exactly, but l
and my four year old daughter
and my maid all thought it was
a snake when we saw it."
From her description, the

The "snake" may be seen in
the front window, in case you
are passing by that way today.
And if you do drop in to see it
up close you might do well to
bring along your India fakir
charm flute, just in case it
isn't a sweet potato after all.

Who Keeps The Law?

II has been four week since the dead
line set by law for filing expenses con-
nected with the April IL special income
navroIl tax ordinance election, yet, up to
the present time the United Toledo Com
mittee which campaigned for the ordln-
ance has failed to submit its account as
required by the law of the state OF ohio'
Not only has the United Toledo Com
mittee failed to comply with the law, but
its chairman, Mayor Lloyd E. ROulet, and
Vice-C Chairman, Vice-MayOr Michael '.
Disable, have failed to live up to their
RESPONSIBILITIES as heads of an organization
which claimed (priOr to the April IL cleo
tion) TO be composed of exemplary, pub
I;c.spirited, civic-minded, law-abiding cItl-
zens.
Nor are the Mayor and Vice-Mayor
the only ones who have shown fine dis
regard for the same law which they Swore
to UNFOLD and defend when they took
their oaths of office.
Even more glaring than the indn-
ference and negligence shown by our TWO
highest elected municipal officials is the
failure of the Lucas County prosecuting
attorney to act, although his office was
notified of the United Toledo Commit
tees failure to file its expense account on
May 6.
We can appreciate that Oversig hts
ran and often do occur in large organlza-
tions as well as with individuals, and we
realize that it was necessary for the Board
Of Elections to call the attention OF the
Political Action Committee to the dead
line for filing its election expense; but we
fail TO understand how men elected to
high public office who led the municipal
bleeding heart campaign can be so indit-
ferent to the laws they are supposed 10
defend and enforce.
And two of the three men who have
failed the law are attorneys.
Perhaps the attitude of the United
Toledo Committee is best summed up In
the words of one of its most important
behind-the-scene members - Il don't
take the d thing too seriously. 1t
seems like a waste of time to file fin
anciaI statement"
Can it possibly be that the same cleo
ton laws with which the Political Action
COMMITTEE gladly complies can be
Haunted with impunity by the United
Toledo Committee?
We shall see.

Facing fhe Issue

Aided by a considerable segment of
the nations press which grasped upon the
coal strike TO discredit the entire labor
movement, the reactiOnary DemO-Repub-
Hcan Senate bloc has again swung into its
stride and is about on the verge of launch
ing one of its most determined anti-labOr
legislative efforts.
Legislation has been proposed and is
being given consideration, which, If pass
ed, would toss the Labor movement for a
20 year loss, turn back the clock to the
era before the Wagner Act and provoke
widespread violence in all sections of the
country.
This is a crucial political year with
the 1948 elections depending to a marked
degree upon what takes places during the
Off-year elections.
Congressional reactionaries recOgniz-
ing the potential power of united and

Washington of its Rankins, BilbOS and
others of their stripe are not going to sit
back and calmly and Supinely take their
beating.
Labor today stands in the position of
winning or losing much, for unless il
meets the challenge of the reactionary
anti-labor legislation with a united front,
ii will find itself with its back to the wall
fighting desperately for its very life.

Don't
Quit

BY Ruth Taylor

There are times when doubt
and Encouragement confront
even the most valiant - when
we seem up against a stone wall
in which there is no gate. We
see no way out of our immediate
problems, and these swamp us
mentally and spiritually.
Then is the time to stop and
take stock of the situation. To
look at things in their proper
perspective, to see what in our
own thoughts is the stumbling
block.
1t was Shakespeare who said
"Our doubts are traitors, and
make us lose the good we oft
might win by fearing to at
tempt" Long before him, Seneca
had said "A great pilot can sail
even his sail is rent" To both
men the cure for defeat - for
doubt and Observation-Disclosures
action.
When those three enemies con-
front you think not What can
! do" But - What can l do I"
There may not seem to be
way out-but there is always
way up. Pause and look up.
Turn your Thoughts to the eterni-
ties. Pray not for relief but for
guidance. Still your soul for
while. And then return to your
problem.
Consider it not as stumbling
block, but as an opportunity -
an opportunity for you to gain in
strength in the solving. A chal-
lenge to use your God-given in
telligence.
If you tackle your difficulties
in this manner, you will be
able-by first mastering yourself
to face the issue squarely and
to make your own decisions hon
estly and wisely.
Be not afraid of the outcome.
Your fear is of your own ability,
not of outside circumstances.
Have faith in yourself and go
ahead. Don't be afraid of doing
too much. 1t is better to wear
out than to rust out.
There is something you can
do. Decide what it is-and do it!
Success is failure turned in
side out
The silver tint of the clouds of
doubt,
And you never can tell how close
you are,
1t may be near when it seems
afar;
So stick to the fight when you're
hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that
you mus not quit"

Headlines in the papers inform us Of
growing shortage of foods, particularly meat
and bread, while our pocketbookS inform us
of gradually increasing cost of foodstuffs.
We of CIO, in common with other consun-
ers are alarmed at the situation and feel that
in self-defenSe we must do something to make
more food available at a cost within the reach
of everyone, or failing to do this, demand
return to rationing so that everyone gets their
share Of the food supplies.
In order to get into the situation as it eff
fects all the consumers, have called special
meeting for Friday night of this week to which
we have invited not only all CIO leadership,
but representatives from any consumers
groups who may wish to attend.
In the matter of food, we all share q COM
mon interest. Nobody can do without food and
it is a certainty that health is dependent upon
the proper amounts of the proper kinds of
foods.
HELP EUROPE
We all recognize the need for aiding the
starving peoples of Europe and we are willing
to do without some of our own bread in order
that We might send part of our wheat to our
fellow humans in need.
On the other hand, we have every reason
to believe that the black market in meats is
flourishing and that large amounts of meat are
being diverted to this illegal market to be sold
10 LHOSS WHO are Willing anu dDle 10 pay more
than the average consumer.
1t is my belief that the most effective way
to get to the bottom of the food situation as it
exists here, is to set UP committee composed
of various interested groups, labor consumers,
housewives and others and to investigate the
real reasons behind our growing food short
ages
realize of course, that it is easy for peo-
pie to meet and feel indignant about situa-
tion and then appoint committee which fre-
quently ends by doing very little or nothing.
/ this case it is my feeling that nobody should
become part of such group unless they are
interested and willing to do a little work that
will bring benefits to the entire community.
One thing is certain, the situation will not
become better and may become much worse
unless we unite ourselves in common defense
against those who are unscrupulous that
they would Withhold our food in order to accu-
mulate greater profits for themselves
1t is my hope that everyone who can pos
sibly do so will attend Fridays meeting and
contribute whatever they to easing an
acute situation which is becoming greater
problem for everyone.

do more toward shedding light on a situation
than can the best oratory with which man is
gifted. For this reason would like to quote
a letter received by the wrier which believe
shows justification of the principle for which
we, of the CIO have fought here in our Com
munNy:
'Dear Sir:
l work in a restaurant on Nebraska
Avenue. have been there almost three
years am 69 l work in the kitchen
washing dishes. What want to know is
when you are a dishwasher, you are not
supposed to be cleaning woman, wash
woodwork, soda bars, wash poatoes, cook
potatoes, peel potatoes, clean ice-boXes,
clean shelves, all kinds of odd jobs. She
pays me $500 a week; but by the time
she gets income and social security out,
/ have $15.05 and now this new City Tax
leaves me $14.89 and If you are sick you
are not paid. / have no income but my
wages to live on. / voted against income
tax and the owners voted for it as she has
relation working for the city. If she would
give us raise, but don't think she will
unless compelled to. There is no Union here
but should be. ! was wondering if some
one from the Union could help"
PICTURE YOURSELF
/ wonder how many of the readers of this
article picture themselves at the age OF 68
years working in restaurant and having no
other income, but faced with additional taxes
when their weekly pay is already SO small
that it scarcely provides them with shelter and
food to say nothing of clothing or little
pleasure for their few remaining years.
1t certainly arouses a sympathetic note in
your mind and refreshes your memory of the
vicious propaganda campaign used to saddle
the people of this community with another tax
burden. Certainly, the exemptions in the tax
program originally requested by the CIO were
far more justified for a case such as this than
could be few new bricks in one of the streets
of our City.
