Burke For Council

Despite the fact that Tom Burke, TIUC
secretary, has served two full terms as a
member of City Council, he has managed
to retain the respect and the support of
the people in his own organization, CIO,
as well as that Of hundreds of non-union
citizens who recognize his sincerity,
honesty and INTEGRITY.
Burke's candidacy for reelection to
Council has been we'll received not only
by members of CIO, but by many AFL
workers, particularly city employees whose
cause he has advanced during the past
four years.
IL there Is any need for Tom Burke to
defend his record from those who, for po-
litical reasons have twisted and distorted
by organized labor in Toledo. The only
fault that can be found with Burke is his
reticence to grab or hog the limelight, his
modesty in proclaiming his own virtues
and his failure TO sound his own horn,
long, loud and often.
Tom Burke's labor record as a member
of City Council is beyond reprOach. His
record as a representative of the whole
people as a COuncilman-at-la large can be
attacked only by those who place politics
above principles.
To retain Tom Burke in City Council;
to maintain good city government and
honest above-board dealing in Toledo,
what better choice can you make than
Burke?

Control Or Cooperation?

In the face of the extreme rise In the
cost of living, particularly in food COSTS IL
now becomes evident why greedy monop-
oIists, aided by reactionary Republicans
and Democrats, were so eager to Kill price
controls last year.
When Senator Taft and other Spokes-
men for unlimited profits made their sue
cessfuI attack on government controls last
year, the only organized force to stand In
the way of their success was that of labor.
Unfortunately for the country and the
peopIe who live by wages and salaries,
labor was unsuccessful in stemming the
tide and controls were removed
Today, the rapidly increasing costs OF
all commodities. food and clothing, fuel
and other basic goods needed by the ma
ton, have reached alarming peaks, which,
unless some drastic action is soon taken,
threaten to disrupt our economy and bring
untold hardship and suffering to millions
of our people.
Nobody need feel any hope from the re-
suits of the probe now being conducted in
various sections of the country by pOlit-
ically appointed price investigating COM
mittees which so far have not shown the
slightest ability to get to the real facts be-
hind the price increases.
These gentlemen-cOngressm
been named under political sponsorship
have no desire TO uncover anything except
that which will benefit either themselves
or their party, or both. They are sop
thrown to the American people to create
the illusion that the ruling legislative
power-the Republicans interested In
the welfare of the whole people.
In the long run, and this is perfectly
safe prediction, the committee will come
up with some trivial statements which will
not detract one penny from the profits OF
those who are reaping the golden harvest
of dollars inherent in the present initiation,
nor add single penny to the purchasing
power of the long suffering, hard-pressed
consuming public.
We have been through these things be-
fore. We should recognize by now that
the average congressional committee has
no other excuse for being than to advance
the political interests of the party in power
and to go through the motions of being
devoted to the welfare of the majority OF
the people of this country.
There can be but two possible answers
TO the price problems of the people of this
nation:
1. Restoration of food controls and
prices by recreating OPA.
2. Rapid and effective extension OF the
cooperative movement by the unions and
other interested groups in all sections Of
the country.
OF the two, IL appears that the quickest
and most effective way to protect our
selves from the price chlselers, profiteer-
ing, and piddling politicians is TO reso-
lutely set ourselves TO the task of develop
ing the cooperative movement In every
community In the nation.
Let us be done with the deceitful STALL
ing of congressional committees who inVes-
tigate everything and discover nothing,
and get down to the task Of doing for our
selves what politicians either cannot or
will not do.

Local
Leadership
BY Ruth Taylor

Organized Labor is justifi-
ably disturbed at the grow.
ing anti.labor sentiment which
has been so drastically ex-
pressed in legislation. But -
Labor itself has not been en-.
tirely guiltless. Any advertis-
ing man, whether his media
be newspaper, magazine or
radio - or the local labor pa
per - can testify that unher.
aided merchandise seldom gets
repeat orders. The public must
be continually resold on the
product.
Organized Labor has neg
lected its reselling job! The
country was originally sold on
Organized Labor through a ma
tional campaign. Anti-labor
legislation stems from the
community and the reselling
has to be done locally. Legisla-
tors are not for drastic meas
ures when the people who
elected them are sold on labor
and on the way labor conducts
It's own affairs.
You can't win consistently
in a democracy without the
support of public opinion. 1t
Is the power of public opin-
ion - not the legislators
that determines the vote on
any measure. And remember,
fortunately or unfortunately,
as the case may be, the kind
OF member you are will de-
termine what your neighbors
In your community will think
of the whole organized labor
movement. Therefore, in order
to maintain the right attitude
In the community, the develop
ment of local union leadership
of the highest order is essen
tial.
From the local to the ma
tional scene the need today is
for labor leaders who dare to
act as the occasion demands
for the good Of the country as
a whole; whose eyes are on
the road straight ahead-not
on their personal ambitions;
who have courage to do a job
without fear or favor: who
once elected to office remem.
Der that their task is to repre-
sent all the members; who
look not just on the imme-
diate problem but at the ulti-
mate goal.
The workers must select as
leaders only those men whose
ideals are their ideals, who are
not swayed by pride of power,
by favoritism or by prejudices,
and who will not put personal
loyalties ahead OF the common
interests.
This is an hour fraught with
opportunity - whether it be
to prove the worth of Organ.
lied Labor or to avoid an am
bush threatening the whole
labor movement. Upon our
local leadership rests the de-
cision as to the path we will
take. Be sure to mark that
path with sign posts that show
others the way and help to
persuade persons not travel
ing that path that 1t is a good
way.

A frightening new dilemma
for American workers has been
announced by DR.. Haakon Sty-
rie, research director for ski
Industries, Inc. In Philadelphia.
The doctor has discovered that,
while American men are get.
ting bigger and taller, factory
machines, electric motors and
instruments are getting small
er and smaller. That's tough
one, all right, but we're con.
vinced that everything will
work out to the good IL we can
persuade the west coast man
who just invented noiseless
popcorn bag to also invent a
non.shrinking pay envelope.
The most unwittingly bril-.
liant remark ever made by one
OF the Senate's prize dimwits,
Sen. Pappy O'Daniel Cd. TexD,
bids fair to turn into a classi-
cal frankenstein. Pappy, whose
Senate term expires in 1949,
told his constituents in a small
Texas town, What America
needs is more former Congress.

that boots laced over trouser legs,
or even sox pulled up over the bot
toms of trousers, helps to keep the
ticks from crawling beneath the
clothing. Ticks may also be found
in towns where the grass and
weeds are allowed to grow wild.
Keep these cut closely around the
houses, schools. and parks advises
the State Board of Health.
Examine Children Often
Ticks often work their way up
ward before attaching themselves,
the back of the head and neck of
human beings are favorite feeding
places. Careful examination of
heads, especially of children at
least twice day may reveal a
tick in time to prevent a bite. Re-
member, the Board warns, that the
bite of a tick Is seldom felt. People
are warned not to become unduly
excited If they do find a tick be-
cause it must be attached to the
person for several hours and it
must be infected with the spotted
fever, in order to be able to give
the person the disease. The Board
says to removed the attached tick
with forceps, tweezers or rubber
gloves in order to keep the tick
blood off the hands. If these
things are not available, Be Sure
to scrub hands well after the tick
removal

BOARD ISSUES
TICK WARNING
Three Cases of Tick Fever In
Kent County Reported
Last Year
TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS

Sixteen cases of Rocky Noun
tain spotted fever in Delaware
were reported to the State Board
of Health last year, resulting in 8
deaths; and 5 cases were reported
the year before with 2 deaths.
Since this disease is spread by the
bite of certain wood ticks, and
since ticks have already made their
appearance this spring, the State
Board of Health Is issuing warn
ing about this dangerous disease.
First reported in Delaware in 1882,
Rocky Mountain spotted fever has
attacked from 1 to 6 persons here
each year until in 1913, when the
number of cases rose to Is. The
statewide distribution of the 16
cases last year indicates that the
ticks which carry the disease were
widely scattered. There were two
cases in Wilmington, eight in New
Castle County, three in Kent, and
three in Sussex. BY Hundreds New
Castle County had 4 in Brandy
wine, 1 in Christiana, 8 in White
Clay; Kent had each in Murder
kill, Mispillion and Milford; and
Sussex had 1 each in Cedar Creek,
Indian River and Dagsboro Hun
dreds.
Examine Body Closely
The principal danger of the tick
is, Of course, his bite and even
though only 1 tick in many hum
dreds may carry the Rocky Noun
tain spotted fever virus, that one
tick (which cannot be recognized
from the rest) may cause a fatal
infection. Since many people are
taking the advantage of fine spring
weather to go on picnics or to be
out in the woods and fields, the
State Board of Health warns every
one to watch out for ticks, and to
examine the body closely when re-
turning from such trip. Where
ticks are picked up out-of-doors, it
is usually from grass or weeds
close to the ground. Men will find
