Harvest Will Be
What You Make 1t

I. NJ Ornburn, Secretary-TreaSurer
Union Label Trades Department
American Federation Of Labor
What the American labor move
ment needs most is an old fash
ioned revival of buying Union
Label goods and using Union Ser
ices. Let's get more converts to
hit the Union Label SawduSt trail.
We need more evangelists to
spread the Union Label gospel and
as sales agents carry on a verit-
able crusade to make all American
consumers Union Label-conscious.
Let's make it creed" to patron
ize only firms that display the
Union Label, Shop Card or Ser
vice Button.
To paraphrase biblical quota
ton, what you now sow in union
earned money, you shall reap in
more union wages. The harvest
will be what you make it. Follow
the golden rule of buying Union
Label goods from others as you
would have them pay union wages
unto YOU. If you lose your union
unto you. If you lose your women
folks buy non-union goods from
unfair merchants, you have your
self to blame.
The recent A. F. of L. Union
Label and Industrial Exhibitation
held in St. Louis, Missouri, was a
glorious panorama of all things
union! It was a show window for
union-n1ade goods and dress par
ade for union services. No event
of it's kind in the history of the or
ganized labor movement has ever
parallel this great union show in
spirit, interest national and inter-
national A. F. or L. unions. It was
attended by representatives of mil
lions of women auxiliaristS and
trade unioniStS who are eager pur-
chasers of union-made quality
goods.
Let's start in now to demand the
Union Label, Shop Card, and Ser
vice Button in order to make the
next union industries show" the
successful event that ALL union
workers desire and the A. F. of l..
Union Label and Industrial Ex-
hibition management deserves.

EIkS OraforitaI
Contest Al Carver

On Friday evening, May 9th, five
of Carver High Schools outstand-
ing students will vie for first place
in the annual Elks Oratorical con-
test. These students will include
William Maxwell, Osborne Gala
han, Jean Scotte, Joseph Patton
and Curtist McNear. The victor
ious student of this group will be
the winner of the sum of twenty
five dollars which should go far on
a summer vacation or for the next
school year. The second and third
place winners will take fifteen and
ten dollars respectively.
For the last two weeks these
students have been searching all
kinds of files, reading dusty books
that haven't been opened for many
months and digging into places sell
dom used by anyone in order to
get material for their speeches.
This type of research has proven
to be of utmost Importance be-
cause these students have uncov-
cred many facts heretofore un-
known to them and to many of us
One of them has gone deeply into
the life of Friedrich Douglass, read
ing various books on his life and
about the many acts he engaged
in for the benefit of the Negro.
Others have given serious thought
to the Constitution and how it ap-
plies to the Negro. All of the sub
jects must deal with the Constitu-
ton of the United States in one
phase or another. This study not
only strengthens the students
knowledge of the Constitution but
also fortifies him with the invalu-
able ammunition of knowing those
fundamental principles laid down
for all groups living within the
United States by our founding
forefathers.
It is hoped that the public will
give their wholehearted support
to these five students on Friday
evening.

Veterans Administration is pre-
pairing to distribute a National
Service Life Insurance dividend to
nearly IS million veterans as soon
as it's workeload of current OBJ
legations to policy holders has been
brought up to date.
Information explaining the divi-
dend program, released this week
by VA, stressed that although vet
Grams should be fully informed of
the nature of their forthcoming
dividends, they should not expect
payments to be mailed for some
time yet.
The amount of the dividends has
not been determined, but it will
apply to. term policies as well
as to converted policies and even
lapsed policies.
Payments to individual veterans
will vary greatly, for they are
based on the amount and type of
insurance the veteran has carried,
the length of time he has held the
policy, and his age at the time he
took out his policy.
Because NSLI is mutual insur-
ance, any surplus in the insurance
fund belongs to those who con-
tributed to the surplus by paying
their premiums.
A surplus in the insurance fund
is possible because in calculating
premium ratee it is necessary to
make assumptions as to future
mortality. When mortality is less
than was assumed, as in the pres
ent case, savings arise which are
defunded as dividends.
War casualties have no bearing
on NSLI dividends, for all excess
costs arising from the extra hazard
of military or naval service are
paid by the Government from sep
arate appropriations.
QUESTION: "Will my 10 percent
World Wad II disability compensa-
ton of $3.50 be increased if ]
should marry?"
ANSWER: No. Your compensa-
ton is based on the degree of dis
ability, not on the number of de-
pendents.

Miami, Fla, March 2 (Special) The heaviest legal injus
tie in ali history was the trial that sentenced Christ to the
cross, DIR. Waltr A. Maier asserted here today in a special In
ternational Lutheran Hour address. Comparing the trial Of
Christ before his cOuntrymen in Jerusalem with recent and
present " criminal trials in Germany and Japan, DR.. Maier
emphasized these contracts:
"Prime Minister TOTO and tweny-seven other top Japanese
defendants at the Tokyo War Crimes trials are defended by
t~wentyfour American lawyers. Each of the Japanese pi-
soners has a topranking American lawyer besides a Japanese
attorney of his own choosing-JesusC Christ never had the be
refit of a single defnse attorney, and He was condemned be-
fore the hearing started.
"At Nuremberg, during the trial against the Nazi leaders the
court sat for 2l6 days.-The trials of Christ, both his coun.
trymen and the Roman authorities took only a few hours alto
gether.
1.-THE judges at the Nuremberg trial studied 100000 affi-
davits. examined two hundred witnesses, heard millions of
words of testimony. More than 100000 words of evil
dence we're taken in TOjO's trial.-But the capital trial of
Jesus Christ had not a single true witness; no one came to
His defense; and the whole record of His trial, as given in
the Gospels, may be read in one minute.
Even civil trials in America have completely unbalanced
the life ard death proceedings against Christ. The Alumin-
um Antitrust Suit took nine years and filled fiftyfive pom
derous volumes with evidence.-Christ was crucified within
