Ted had found that the name
of Cannaday was a more prac-
tical one than Cohen to use when
one applied for work in certain
advertising agencies.
Until his name appeared on
World War II casualty list of
wounded as Tied Cannaday &
Mother, Rose Cohen" Ted's pass
ing" as a Gentle had been UNI
noticed.
He looked like a Gentle, and
even spoke like one.
LEAVING a leg in Italy, he
came back to the business world
and the realization that the mailed
fist of anti-Semitism often is con-
cealed in a silken glove.
Bernstein illustrates effectively
how a normally fair-minded and
affable man like Ferdinand Otis,
advertising executive, may be
driven into a contemplate role
Other characters, including Ted's
mother, are convincing.

EIGHT years ago, more than 100
cases of juvenile delinquency were
brought to the attention of the
juvenile officer each year. That
number has dropped to 40.
Social centers have been set up
in the community; sanitation has
been greatly improved; the people
of the community are currently
waging a fight for more teachers
in their schools; a summer camp,
thirty miles from Chicago, has
been established and work has
begun on a $4,000 swimming pool
for the camp.

Mr.. SCREENING

MR.. SORRENTTNO proposes
that the people OF the 'Lonnie
neighborhood" do these things:
l. Organize the rank and
file" of the community. not the
leaders of the community" to
meet and function regularly.
2. Find out what the needs of
the community are.
Most working class communities,
Sorrentino pointed out, need bet
ter schools, more teachers, hous-
ing, improved sanitation, play

young lie.
These things would have hap
pened to Pasquale-if the working
mothers and fathers of his neigh
borhood, the 10th Ward, hadn't
recognized that Pasquale was no
better or no worse than the COM
munity that he grew up in. So,
they did something about Pas
quale-those mothers and fathers.

AND Anthony Sorrentino, So
biologist with the Institute for
Juvenile Research, showed them
how.
Mr.. Sorrentino has been working
with the people of that West side
community since 1888, when as an
assistant director of the Chicago
Area Project, he was assigned to
help establish the West Side Com
munity Committee.
Anthony Sorrentino believes
this:
"A delinquent boy is no diff
ferent from any other boy. All
children are the products of the
neishborhoods in which they
grow up.
1T seems TO me any attempts
10 deal with delinquents must
begin with the community.
YET the general tendency Of
the community is to dump delin-
quents into institutions. That is
no solution. Basically the problem
goes back to the community and
to the home"
A few weeks ago Mr.. Sorrentino
spoke before more than 500 work
ing mothers and fathers of the
North West side community where
12-year-old Howard Lang, who re-
Gently confessed the murder OF
T-year-old Lonnie Fellick, grew up
With Lonnie's murder, a ring of
juvenile delinquents was uncov-
cred. Mr. Sorrentino told the anx-
ious parents:
"You can do something about
juvenile delinquency in this com
munity. You have the beginnings
of a solution right here in this
auditorium. When the working
mothers and fathers of the COM
munity organize to discuss and
work together to solve their mu-
tual problems, the possibilities are
limitless."

SPANISH WORDS ABOUND
in WESTERN SPEECH

The picturesque language OF the
American COW country is made col
orful by loan words Of Mexican
Spanish origin. This is easy to un-
ierstand when one considers the vast
distance of the serpentine border
which stretches from Brownsville,
Tex. westward to Tia Juana. 1t
was here, on the hot plains where
two races touch and mingle, that the
worlds greatest cattle industry de-
veloped, and where new element
was added to the Anglo-Saxon-Nor-
man-French dialect which we call
English"
New words were needed in those
early frontier days. And, as has
always been the case, our language
enriched itself by borrowing from
another tongue.

erners enormously call 'la-SOO"

President Walter P. Ruether.
In making his statement to

the boards decision was not
influenced by factionalism. ''This
issue cuts across factional lines, :"
he said. Board members who
always voted on the same side
on most issues differed in their
position on this he added.
Mr.. Ruether refused to tell
newsmen what the vote was fo1
and against the measure.
In concluding his press con-
ference, the UAW head said that
the matter would be taken up
again during the CIO conven.
ton in Boston next month and
that he expected that the UAW-
CIO would follow the policy
which is adopted at that time.

Surface Contract
TO Be Siqned

Ratification of the first con-
tract b etwee en- the American
Floor Surfacing Co. and its
Local IL UAW-CIO Unit was
voted by the union members at
a special meeting held at Local
IL headquarters on Saturday OF

holidays, a liability clause ex-
empting the union from respon-
sibility for unauthorized work
stoppages and other stand
ard clauses of the Local IL con-
tract.
The ratification vote ended a
four weeks old strike of the 180
employees of the company which
resulted when a Stalemate
developed in the contract nego-
tiations.
Final agreement was reached
after Richard Gosser, UAW
regional director entered the
case. Local IL was represented
by Lloyd Speidell, recording

Profits Still
Seek Ceilings

WASHINGTON September IL

ness profits are continuing up.
ward in dizzy spirals with nc
ceilings yet in sight, a Com
merce Department report indi
Gated last week.
Publicly reported dividends
accounting for about 500 of al
dividends paid, amounted tc
$444, 100000 in July, compared
with 1894, 100000 for the same
month in 1916. Totals for the
three months ended July 81 were
1918, 100000 compared with a
ST, ,050, 100000 last year, a 16%
Jump.
Many industrial profit grabs,
however, were closer to the
1890 increase showed by Key,
stone Steel G. Wire, which raised
its net profit for IL months from
$2,109,591 to $4,837,955. Atlas
Plywood Corp. did even better,
hiking its net take for IL months
from $1,476, ,904 to $3,O93,41.
The Securities & Exchange
Commission further emphasized
the rosy position of business in
a report showing that net sales
of 1041 listed corporations for

tailed $40, ,563, ,089,0OO - an in
crease of nearly 40% over the
