A Third Party?
IN A RECENT national week.

IN A RECENT national weekly,
an article was published re-
lating to Communism, stating
that the Communist party in this
country had dropped twenty
thousand members in the last ten
years. The author stated that the
party needed to increase member
ship at least fifty per cent if the
organization was to remain in
tact.
Against such gloomy forecasts,
the party is beginning an all-out
drive to gain new memberships,
II will probably gain some mem
berships in New York, Michigan
and California, where greatest
strength of the party lies, but the
Communist party will eventually

this country.
Many groups have tried to in
crease the traditional two parties
in the United States, but ever
Theodore Roosecelt failed in the
attempt. 1t is doubtful if thJ
Communists will succeed in theil
effort to build up strong third
party. Too many others have
failed before them.

not enough industrial fats and oils

Help Yourself
Every time you turn in a pound

actually helping yourself and your

more nylons.
Food experts too are urging fat
conservation! Use and reuse every
