Rubinoff Refuses
To Pass Pickets
Around Bio Hotel

Dave Ruhinoff, famous musician,
with his 100000 violin, came 20
Phoenix last week-and conquered
the hearts of music lovers at every
place he played, and he played at
many places But the big attrac-
ton for which he came to play was
a complete flop, because he re-
fused to play.
The big show was supposed to
take place at the Westward Flo, the
big strike-bound Phoenix hotel,
which has refused to give its en-
ployees consideration, and at which
a picket line has been on the march
since early last November.
Dave Rubinoff, the famous musi-
clan, but also a Union musician,
refused to go through that picket
line, of which he was unaware un-
til he reached Phoenix.
'T will not go through that
picket line. Tell anyone you
wish. Tell President Truman.
will not go through that picket
line."
Thus, Rubinoff told the world he
respected the rights of the workers
of this nation, and that he cohsid-
cred himself one of them. He is a
member of the Musicians Union.
The local press made the statement
that Rubinoff had been threatened
with heavy fine if he crossed the
picket line. This is wholly untrue.
]. H. Hart, president of Phoenix
Musicians Union No. 586, an
nounced that he doubted Interna-
tional Union officers even knew
where Rubinoff was at the time
He said newsmen refused to tell
him where they got the informa-
ton about the fine. Hart denied
the statement, and said Rubinoff's
refusal to cross the line was only
natural, as no Union man will COM
NIT that offenSe.

Santa Claus Visits

Mary was little girl with no
mother or father. She lived IN an
orphan home with more than so
other children, SO it was almost i'm
possible to be lonely.
It was nearly Christmas. Mary
asked the leader, Miss Annie, who
Is Santa CLAUSE"
Miss Annies eyes twinkled as she
said, Santa is a good spirit who
brings presents to good little boys
and girls" But Mary did not expect
any presents. She did not think that
Santa would visit an orphan home.
The time passed very quickly until
it was the day before Christmas.
That evening, all the children were
seated at the long dinner table,
quietly eating, when Miss Annie
arose and said, After dinner, we
will gather at the music room door" ]"
They all did as she said. When
Miss Annie opened the door, Mary
and the other children were so sur
prised that they could hardly believe
their eyes. Before them stood Santa
with his red suit On. He sang lot
of songs and told stories, but the big
moment came when he gave out the
wonderful toys and new clothes that
every one could want.
After that, Mary knew that Santa
not only gave to other children. but
to children who live in orphan
homes, too
