ARMISTICE DAY
By III. w. SMITH

We are all reminded on Armistice
Day of the ending of first World War
with all of its destruction and sorrow
it brought about to the people of the
world. Now when the good news of
its ending by the blowing Of the
whistles many hoped that never again
would we have to go war again and
shed u precious blood on the battle
fields. The people prayed and thanked
Almighty God who doth all things
well that peace had come at last to
the world.
This peace was stirred from its
slumber by the rumbling of guns,
planes, ETC., of World War II leaving
in its wake one of the most devastinq
wars of our time.
It is earnestly hoped by peace
loving peoples of the World that after
this terrible lesson learned from World
War II that we wouldn't have to wit
ness another war, and that the people
on Amistice Day will be reminded OF
the price we pay for such wars.

We can speak our minds, as

These freedoms and other liber-

governments in previous centu-

to follow a trend that leads us
backward toward new despotism
and loss Of personal freedoms?
The experience of England
should make US pause and think
seriously. Those freedom-loving
people have not found govern

coal production has been extreme

become more and more severe.

In this dark hour, Englishmen
should study their own history.

Now they have somewhat under
one-third of that number. Jews
accounted for IS percent of the

and Eiselman hope to have their
shops back to pre-war strength.
The Minsk clothing artel is pres
emily specializing in custom-made
rather than ready-made suits,
coats and dresses. If the client
supplies his own material he can
have a suit made for 24O to 29O
rubles. If the material is supplied
by artel the price is 700 rubles.
Prices range fro $50 to 800 rubles
for dress made from material
supplied by the client.
GOldschmidt and Eiselman said
they can make a suit in five days,
but they are so rushed with orders
presently that the customer must
wait from two to four weeks to
get his clothes.
The artel handles between 500
and 600 orders monthly and
crosses two hundred thousand
rubles monthly. It pays out
eighty thousand rubles monthly in
wages, forty Thousand for electric
ity and 1853 rubles rent. After
meeting other obligations, such as
taxes and social insurance, the
artel nets about fifteen thousand
rubles monthly.
Twenty per cent Of this net
profit is distributed to members
of the artel i'm cash in accordance
with their seniority and scale of
work. The rest is invested in
medical facilities, social insurance,
vacation and rest resorts for the
members.
Goldschmidt said members work
an eight-hour day, six days a
week. Most are paid on the basis
of piece work. A seamstress av-
erages between 600 and 800 rubles
monthly, but the more nimble-
fingered have earned up to two
thousand.
To Join the artel a candidate
files application. If it is accepted
he or she is given a weeks trial.
Members of the artel then vote to
admit or exclude a candidate. At
present women have the control
ling vote. They account for IS
per cent of the total membership.
