sure that they wont be too heavy.
Here is brief list of what you
may expect to see at the party.
lhe Juniors are donating from
their own treasury the money to
furnish free lunch for all in at
tendance. There will be an orches-
ira and dancing will be the chief
diversion of the evening. Remem-
Der, all of these pleasures may be
enjoyed by you for the mere do
nation of a pound of unground
coffee or some other necessary
food item.
During the discussion of this
matter at our last meeting it was
brought to the attention that
there were some folks who were
not in favor of sending anything
across due to the fact that it might
not go directly to a relative or
friend. What difference does it
make if any particular bundle does
no treach a certain individual?
Perhaps one sent by another club
will get to your friend. Let us for
get selfish motives and really get
together on tins and make it
successful venture.
We are in no way going to de-
rive any benefits from the affair
other than feeling of the utmost
satisfaction over a job we'll done.
Let us in spite of the objections
of few make the Homestead Jrs.
the leaders in a field the we have
previously never been in.
This party that we are holding
is an open affair. Ale are well
come to attend, we especially want
the support of the Seniors. our pa
rents. They are far more close the
needy onesthan we and we would
like to see a large turnout for this
affair.

Homestead, Pa, Dec. 25--Now
that we have been assured of the
success, both socially and fnanc-
tally, of our recent reunion, the
Homestead Juniors have turned
to a new field of endeavor. 1t was
very gratifying to see the attitude
OF the majority Of the Juniors
when the subject of Saxon relief
was brought before them.
Work was begun at once, with
a committee being chosen and
date set for our first affair held
for the Saxon relief cause.
Jnauary 10th has been chosen
as the date for a Hard times par

Youngstown, o., Dec. Is -
Seems that the girls showed the
fellas how to play basketball Sat.
night. Our motto should now be,
"A perfect season of losses - we
have yet to Win" You fellas had
better make those New Years re-
solutions ahead of time.
Thanks to you Cleveland for
the very swell meal enjoyed by
everyone and that wonderful mu-
sic for dancing.
Next Saturday Youngstown
travels to Salem. Wonder what
the turnout will be this time, cross
your ankels everybody, the least
we can do is hope.
Wishing all of you a very
Merry Christmas and Best New
Year Ever.

Farmers and housewives are ad-
vised against storing apples with
cabbage, potatoes and other root
crops, since apples tend to take
up odors of these crops.
The longest subterranean water

If this effort is successful to
any degree we will repeat it as
often as possible.
Now, let's go Homestead, get
behind the wheel and push this
thing to successful finish. We
already know who some of the
shakers are, let's not add any
Others by staying home the night
of the lOth-Be there!
Congratulations
The Homestead group wishes
to extend it's heartiest congratu-
lations to the Choral group the
sang in Youngstown. From re-
ports received it was one of the
most impressive events of the
uRiors history. Our only regret
is that we were not represented
in the chorus.
Meeting Notes
The meetings of late have been
dather poorly attended and we are
trying to figure out why this
should be. We are ready to admit
that the weather has been bad, but
still certain loyal group are re-
gular in their attendance.
At the first meeting of the new
year there will be an installation
party held and at that time it
would be fine gesture to have
all members now on the books
present at the meeting and the
party.
A Word to the Old timers.
Don't think that the youth of
today would not welcome you
back as members. I'm sure that
was proven at the recent reunion.
Let's promise ourselves night
a week with the Juniors just to
keep from getting too old.

In the past it has been. the ex-
perience of the New Castle quin-

gulations, but apparently theCan-

competent to cope with such
grave problems so they merrily
proceed to conduct all arrange

duly appreciative of this con-
sideration, but frankly, we have
conducted poll and to our; and
I'm sure to Canton's surprise, we
find that we can all read and write

On the other hand, after the
fiasco, we jorneyed to the club

No punches pulled, our hosts
proceeded to show true Saxon
fellowship and one and all return

DOUDS REINSTATED
In N. L. r.. B. POST

New York City ULNS). - The
winner in a two-year fight for re-
instatement, Charles T. Douds has
resumed his post as regional di-
rector of the National Labor Re-
lations Board, with offices here.
Douds declined to say anything
about Congressional proposals for
changes in the Wagner Act or
about his own campaign to set
aside the 1945 NLRB decision,
under which he was ousted from
his job. On Feb. 81, the United
States Civil Service Commission
unanimously upheld his right to re-
instatement.
When Douds was dismissed by
2 to / vote of the NLRB Feb. 10,
1945, his supporters in both the
AFL and CIO charged that his re-
moval had been instigated by
Communist elements in the labor
boards staff.

At Lincoln Shop

Lincoln, Illinois.-Everything is
hustle and hustle here in Lincoln.
Work is very good with everyone
getting full time and the company
in the midst of a wide expansion
program, which when completed,
will offer additional job oppor-
tunities for many more potters.
At the present time work on the
new bisque circular kiln is about
one-third completed and the COM
pany has already announced plans
for the erection of a new 70-foot
glost kiln as soon as the bisque
kiln is in operation. 1t is the in
tention of our president, Mr.. Stet-
son, to have one of the most up
to-date plants in the entire GER
annie industry.
Since so many job opportunities
will be available in the near future
and no doubt many of our eastern
tradesmen will be making the trek
to the west, we feel now is the op-
perfume time to tell them about
our fair city. Lincoln is situated
in the center of the state, about
halfway between Chicago and st.
Louis. With a population of about
15,OC0, the city is laid out with
wide streets, plenty of shade trees,
and entertainment facilities to vie
with any Of the much larger cities.
We read in the Herald where
picnic time is not far distant and
plans are now being made for our
1947 reunion. Although we are
quite some distance from Idora
Park, no doubt some of US will be
on hand when June IA rolls around.
