Second major opportunity for the
choir came three years ago when
the choir appeared in concert at the
Radio Institutes annual convention
at Ohio State university. Leading
radio executives arranged to pre-
sent the Boychoir in a six-month
series of broadcasts.
Radio appearances and con-
certs brought the work Of the
choir to the attention of music
lovers throughout the nation,
with subscriptions guaranteeing
future of the school beginning
to pour in. Two-thirds of the
back salaries now have been
paid. Huffman, who had re-
ceived nothing for his labors for
the first five years, has started
to draw his well-earned wages.
The school, which started with
faith and a $4,000 budget, has
set its goal at $4,000 next year.
Lack of housing and boarding IA
cilities for out-of-town applicants
has prevented many deserving boys
from taking advantage of the
unique opportunities offered by the
school. To remedy this situation,
more than 100000 of a $150,00o
quota has been raised in an inten-
sive building campaign.
Plan Major Tours.
For the past six years, the Boy
choir confined its choral activities
to Columbus and it's environs. Ex-
banding its activities, the choir con-
Quoted its first organized tour
through the East last spring.
In response to requests from par
ents in all parts of the country, the
Columbus Boychoir summer camp
at Chautauqua, N. Y, was estab-
lished to make the unique training
of the school available to boys from
other communities.
Supported at first by nothing but
an Astounding faith, Columbus Boy
choir School today ranks as one Of
the nations major achievements in
the artistic and educational world.

the AFL internationals maintained

payment Of dues. The CIO exempted
every one of its 1900, 900 members in
service from dues payments. Initiation
fees have been skipped by sc of the

Job Rights: The AFL led in the
fight to incorporate in the selective
service act the principles of retained
seniority and job rights for all union
members while in the service. 1t was
sustained by the U. S. supreme court
in its opposition to s~uperseniority
which would have smashed organized
labor's carefully built seniority system
protecting all workers.
In the Go &c unions have written
into their contracts seniority guaran-
tees for old members who were in
service and 20 have extended that to
grant new members seniority for the

unions also grant to members of the

a similar number into the

Reason No. . is that both AFL and
CIO want Il square deal for veterans
because it means protecting their own
members and because millions more
will undoubtedly get on the union
train as organizing drives gather
steam. To that end. both major
union groups have gone gu of their
way to safeguard the rights of veter-

Since 1899 about 100000 teachers

On Ragged Edge Of Poverty

up some 500 since the beginning of

history-making episode. For the first

Together with the New York teach

The show revealed that Of $500
teachers in the richest city in the
/ world 900 of the men teachers and
20ct Of the women had TO take outside
part-time jobs in the last two years to
cope with the rising cost Of living.

were more than 500 classes for which
there were no teachers. These pupils
received rart-time or 40 instruction,

ed rooms. During the past three years
teacher designations from the system
have tripled, now amounting to more
than loo a year. Together with re
tirements and deaths, the number OF

are simple. They are asking Gov. Tom

out there Is trend in counties
throughout the country for such q
setup He declared the project would
enable the Health Department to
operate more efficiently.

The Police Department depends

police. told the American Public Re-
lations Association yesterday at their
Willard Hotel luncheon meeting.
Even in voteless community such
as we have, the department depends
on public support" he stated. We
have been trying to sell our men
for years on the idea that we must
get the public on our side"
Maj. Callahan described the vari-
Gus ways the average policeman
can gain the confidence of the resi-
dents of the community, mentioning
particularly the preventive work
done by such organizations as the
Boys Club and the Junior Police
and Citizens Corps among the
juveniles.
He said that particularly in en-
forcing traffic regulations the police
man must know how to handle the
public. There we are dealing, not
with criminals, but the ordinary cit
izen who got little careless" he
said.
In regard to ticket fixing, the

"Other nations are looking to see
how many divisions are behind us

I'm all negotiations, the only

You cannot change the customs of

Senator Austin said it was under.
standable how the Nation let its mil

This condition of unpreparedness
was brought about because we are
tired. We do so want rest. We
wanted the Army demobilized ano
