Only a Smile
Prize Contribution
By Jone Demor, II
Lineoln Hiah School, Rockville

A friend of mine came over. We
talked about this life-the happi-
ness of laughter and the foolish
ness of strife. How much 1t means
to face the world, with faith and
courage true; to undertake a Ger
tain task, and really see it through.
And how unfortunate it is to sor-
row and despair, and not to have
the confidence to conquer every
where. We said some people do not
see the comfort they would find, If
they would only try to smile and
leave their tears behind. And then
we wished with all our hearts that
we could find wav to show the
world the wisdom of smile for
every day.

But Ann says she wasn't nervous at
all, for she had a secret.
TITS simple she says. II just de-

wrote anything about your dog.
Butch" a reader points out. What's
the trouble-did the dogcatchers
get him, or is it just that you're tired
OF him?"
No trouble at all. dear reader.
The dogcatchers haven't come any
where near to getting Butch, and.
far from being tired of him, I like
him better than ever. The only
reason I've sort of eased up on writ
ing about him is that I've been
afraid he might become conceited.
And, in case you don't know, there
are few things harder to put up with
than q conceited dog.
I began to worry about the pos
sibility Of Butch developing swelled
head after he was written up In
Our Dumb Animals Magazine. In
q moment of weakness, showed him
the article, which was illustrated
with q photograph that gave him
q rather regal appearance.
Well, that was a mistake. Not
only did he drag out the magazine
nearly every time company came,
but he got so he couldn't pass any
thing shiny without stopping to look
at himself. One morning I was
awakened by his jingling tags TO
find him standing on his hind legs
in front of my bureau, stretching
his neck to get better look at hlin-
self in the mirror.
In Justice to Butch, however, I
must report that il he Is concerted,
it's no wonder. Everybody spoils
him.
For example, as I was starting
this column, the doorbell rang. No
one was at the door when got
there, but I saw a neighbor hurry1ng
up the street. She had rung the
bell and left bagful of bones tor
Butch.
AS a matter of fact, so many
neighbors bring bones to Butch that
he can afford to be choosy as to
whose gifts he accepts. He likes
the woman who rang the bell. and
always makes fuss over Whatever
she brings him. He also seems to
enjoy whatever is given him by the
neighbors on either side, by woman
several doors up the street and by
one across the alley. But gifts OF
food from other neighbors seem to
leave him as cold as an Eskimo
husky; he just shifts them sus-
piciously for few moments ana
then ignores them. Nobody can buy
his friendship with food.
AS for the dogcatchers-Butch
isn't likely, barring accident, to fall
into their hands.
| He goes out only when properly
escorted, or when a scout has gone
ahead to make sure there are no
dogcatchers or policemen IN the
vicinity. He spends his life in the
house or in the back yard, which
is fenced. And even If the gate Is
inadvertently left open, he will no
leave the yard-not even If one {
his friends. Buddy or Eddy OMear :,
Jimmy or Johnny McAulliffe, G.
Chuck Volkman, tries to coax hiI
out.
The other night, he pestered m
to go out, but was too tired

To my surprise, he didn't 60 OF
the porch. He just stood there an
shifted. Then he turned and, with
his eyes, told me he wanted IN.
Puzzled, opened the screen door,
and he scurried to his bed in the
back room, wiggling like a hula
hula dancer. As I closed the door,
police car came slowly down the

Rail Leaders Tell Truman Advisors
Wage And Living Costs Must BaIonce

Washington, d. C.-Stern warn
ing that price climbs must be halt
ed or that wages must necessarily
be raised proportionately was
served on President Truman's
Council on Economic Welfare by
railroad labor leaders in a report
of what they regarded as the ma
tion's most crucial problem of the
moment-the matter of bringing
wages and living costs into bal
ance.
This declaration was reitera-
tion of the firm position taken long
ago by the AFL that increasing
living costs can be met only by ac-
companying pay raises.
Members of President Truman's
advisory economic council appeared
deeply impressed by the view of
the labor spokesmen and were re-
ported to have urged the Chief Ex-
ecutive to take steps to haul down
excessive prices if an economic
crash is to be averted.

The showings of the plays, in

the Railway Clerks (AFL), as
committee chairman, presented the
main points, but the other rail
union leaders also participated ac-
lively.
All emphasized that crisis con-
fronts America, because the cost
of living has far outstripped work
ers' earnings. Unless this gap is
closed, they warned, an economic
breakdown is inevitable.
They cited the fact that since
June, 1916, when effective price
controls were abandoned, living
costs have shot up Is to 20 per
cent, thus wiping out completely
the 49,. cent an hour wage in
crease secured by railmen early
last year and similar raises OBJ
tanned by workers in other major
industries.
What makes matters worse,
they said, is that both wholesale
and retail prices are continuing to
rise, and meanwhile what little

Local. Union 730
Mops PIons For
A Record Vote

In these days of price imitation,
snow-bound cities, teachers strikes
and two governors in some states,
many of us no doubt are beginning
to wonder just what is in store for
the people of these United States.
On the home front, locally,
things are bit different where we
are carrying along in our usual
peaceful manner and following
the principles of a true democratic
spirit. In this respect we must not
overlook our obligation in the pri-
mary election now before the
trade, to select officials to head
the organization for the next two
years.
Local Union 130 will take care
of this matter at their next meet
ing on March IA and have made
which will enable
every member to vote regardless
of what shift they may be work
ing. Polls will be open from 2 to
a p. m. for all those working on
the morning and afternoon shifts,
and again in the evening during
our regular session which will af-
ford all an opportunity to register
their choice.
To those who feel it isn't neces-
sary to vote in the primaries, let
me call to your attention the un-
certain future path of labor, and
that means you. You owe it to
yourself to select those men best
suited to shape our policy and
guide our organization. A ballot
cast in the primaries is just as i'm
oortant as the general election.
Every member of Local Union
l30 should keep this thought in
mind and make it a point to ex-
,rcise their duty and privilege and
,e on hand March ID and support
heir candidate at the polls.-
