MonopoIisfs Use Labor

w A ) II l N G. I 0 N (LPA) -
The drive for anti-labor laws Is
an attempt by monopoly inter
estS to divert attention from
needed social welfare legisla-
tion, the CIO Economic Out
look declared last week.
"The monopolists are driving
to take advantage of the unbal-
anced situation arising in the
transition from war to peace, +"
the Outlook said. "The great
bulk of American business, like
the majority of farmers, white
collar workers, and professional
groups, can only expect to reap
disaster from this drive. Like
labor, they need to have Con-
gresS and the Administration
act together for the passage of
a series of meausres designed to
stabilize and advance the liv-
ing Standarsd of the nation"

NEW YORK (LPA) - The
claimed love of democracy ex-
pressed by former Austrian
Chancellor Kurt Won Schu-
schnigg who is now on a nation
wide speaking tour has been
challenged by the Jewish Labor
Committee. While minister of
justice of Austria, the JIG
points out, Schuschnigg was a
party to "openly violating its
citizens, dissolving the free trade
unions and confiscating their
property, hanging and shelling
the defenders of democracy, de-
etroying parliamentary ilstitu-
tions and establishing the first
concentration camps in the his
tory of the country"

Living Costs Go Up

NEW YORK (LPA)-In a de-
cision awarding a 10c-an-hour
cost-of-living increase to all
knitgoods workers who work 35
hours a week, impartial chair
man Herman A. Gray pointed
out that the greatest suffering
when living costs soar Is visited
on those with the lowest pay.
"A flat increase for each hour
of work performed is preferable
to one measured by percentage
of going wages" Gray asserted.
"Such an increase makes the
benefit proportionately greater
for those with lower take home
pay" Workers are members of

Time marches on, as the work
ers take a worse licking from
the utilities. The old days coal
and wood stoves, were used.
Then along came the "slickers"
and sold us gas stoves. Our
parents threw out their old
standby, coal stoves, and in
stalled gas. They told us 1t was
cleaner and more economical
and that we would have enough
gas for over 100 years. We be-
lieved them for about ten years.
Then the gas began to peter
out in Ohio and the gas COM
pany had to go further south to
get it.. So they kicked up the
price a little. We had very low
pressure during cold weather
and they did then what they are
doing now-pumped in lot of
air to keep the pressure up.
You paid for both the air and
the gas.
The old Northwestern Ohio
Gas Co. now the Ohio Fuel &
Gas Co., started their sales
talk about reconverting your
furnaces from coal and oil to
gas right after the war was
over, they had so many custom
ers they had to call in out-of-
town contractors to help on this
mammoth job. The same old
bunk-"you will always have
plenty of gas" They wanted the
little fellows business because
there was more money in it. In
dustry uses a tremendous lot o1
gas, but they knew they could
not sell them air. They also
have a tremendous amount OF
liquid gas they want to use UP
and they want to dump it in
the gas main. But there is
one stumbling block in their
way our City Council who
granted them a franchise which
says for natural gas only"

Things are so quiet around HIS.
these days that it scares me. Some
thing is bound to happen to break

of HIS.
Home nursing classes have been
started at HIS. under the direction
of Miss Ruth Rotzler, Red Cross home
nursing instructor, who will teach
the class five days a week, for three
weeks. I hear that $50 senior girls
attended the first meeting of the class
last Thursday. (They are at least
taking an interest.)
Fundamentals of nursing, such as
symptoms of minor diseases, meth
DDS of making beds, bathing the pa
tient, taking the temperature, and
the use of medicines, are presented
in the intensive course, which is re-
quired for all senior girls.
The senior girls who were really
interested in nursing, took a tour
of the Washington County Hospital
on Friday afternoon, under the
guidance of Miss Erect, director of
nursing.

This week it was that teachers are
not so bad after ALL / have Just
found out that they don't report you
to the Office unless you get as low
as an 'E' on your report card. No
don't get me wrong, I haven't done
that badly yet, and I'm sure glad
that haven't, for it would scare the
daylights out of me if a messenger
from the Office came to the class
room door and said that was want
ed at the office.
Believe it or not, classes have be-
gun at HIS. in twirling. That is
what l call nice. I'm other words,

Through Mrs. Hoachlander, super
visor of the radio work shop; DIR.
Milehan, our Principal; and Mr.. VIII
lis, the Superintendent of Schools;
all of whom recognized the specific
need of something to work with, the
Radio Workshop at HIS. has added
a new something to the high school.
They now have real, honest-to-
goodness-radio station, including a
studio and a control room. It's as
cute as could be, and has the atmos-
phere of a professional radio station,
including the hustle and hustle of
writing script reading script, using
the mike and everything. 1t really
is amazing. And that amt all, the
kids even write their own script!
cast it! and produce it!
There is a what they call a talk
between mike" in the control room,
with which they can talk to the pu-
pills in the studio without the aud
fence hearing-that's something. All
kinds of sound effects, records, con-
troll board, soft rugs etc.-It's so ex-
citing! l know I'm going to take
radio now. learned something new
though. 1t isn't all as easy as l Just
described with my "ohs" and "'ahs."
The scripts have to be planned and
written. That's work. But all this
time the radio students have been
getting the background in script
writing and at last they have a
to put it to use.
Another thing, these students do
not have any help from Mrs. Hoach-
lander. Well, at first, of course, but
not now. They are on their own.
And she doesn't see or hear anything
until the whole thing is presented
over the mike from the studio and
she is one of the audience.
You'd be surprised at the names
some of those scripts have. For in
stance, "Courtship of Star" "Teens
Of Our Time" and "Green Monster"
which had the privilege of seeing
in rehearsal.
Wonderful! Wonderful!
