This City Girl Knows
How to Have Fun
In the Country
Prise Contribution
By Borboro Ann Crobtree, Is
Paul Junior High School


The country is truly beautiful,
and always enjoy my aunt's farm.
. The farm is in the heart of the
Shenandoah Valley, about a mile
west of Edinhurg, Va. We have two
COWS, Spottie and Jersey. We alse
have an old work horse, Maud. She
Is as gentle as a kitten, and will
come running every time I call her.
We also have chickens, hogs and a
large garden.
Every morning we get up at $50
O'Clock. While my aunt' fixes break
fast, my uncle and I have the
chores to do. My uncle tends to the
pigs, while T feed the chickens and
the horse. Maud stays In the pas
ture all night, so all have to do
is 60 to the barn gate and call,
"Oh, Maud, I have something for
you" and she'll come running. We
don't milk the cows till after break
fast.
Recently, eight kittens were born
to Fuzz and Blackie, making a
total of II cats on the farm, includ-
ing Muff, the tomcat. The kittens
are all very cute, but I like one
especially well. I've named him
Midnight because he Is Jet black.
Some day hope to have him for
my very own.
My cousin and I love to run and
hide from my brother. We usually
pick the barn because there Is q
lot of hay and corn in the loft.
When he finally finds us, Mary and
I jump out of the window, which
isn't very high. One day Mary fell
out of the window, but that didn't
discourage her.
Have you ever taken q sunbath
on a chicken house roof? We have;
1t is the hottest place on earth.
Almost every one likes a good
ball game, but it costs money. Well,
while other people pay, my cousin
and are sitting up in Ken Stone
burners tomato patch seeing the
game free. Ingenious, isn't it?

lust Between
Yourselves -.
BY Philip H. Love.

When Pets received his high
school diploma last spring, he was
so happy It hurt. He'd had rough
time getting through, what with
having to work after school and on
Saturdays, which left little time for
study; but now, AL that was be-
hind and he could concentrate on
earning enough money to enter col
lege In the fall.
Getting into. the college Of his
choice wouldn't be difncult, he felt.
Bis high school grades hadn't been
the very best-he wasn't q brain"
but they'd been good enough to
get him . diploma, and that was all
he needed.
Pete placed his application
prompuy-and. as promptly forgot
it. He hid his part-time job in a
chain grocery changed to full time
and started saving toward his tut
ton. He passed up lot of fun
during the summer because he
didn't have the money to spare.
Some day, when he'd completed his
education and built up good prac-
tice as a physician, he could laugh
at the way he had to pinch pennies
now.
Margie was just the opposite OF
Pete. She was a brain-the kind of
student who just sort of breezed
through high school without half
trying. Money wasn't a problem,
either, so she had plenty OF time
to play.
Like Pete, Margie promptly ap-
piled for admission to college-the
same one, incidentally-and as
promptly forgot it. She spent the
summer Ioafing. College didn't mat
ter much to her; all her girl friends
were going to college, 1t was the
thing to do, so she'd do 1t, too. But
her real ambition was simply to
have fun-lots of dates with lots Of
boys, for dances, movies, picnics,
swimming parties, moonlight cruises.
etc.
Pete and Margie heard from their
applications on the same day.
Pete had put in a hard day at the
store; he was tired and out Of sorts
but when he saw the envelope, he
frightened considerably. His fingers
shook as he tore it t:open.
Margie had been playing tennis
with her latest steady" Bill. When
her mother handed her the letter,
she tossed 1t on the sofa without
opening it, and said:
I'm not going to college, Mother.
Bill has asked me to marry him,
and I've consented. We'd like to
make it about the first Of October,
if that's agreeable to you and
Dad
Later, after Margie had gone of
to a weinie roast with Bill, her
mother opened the letter. It said:
1T gives me pleasure to report
that your record from Blank High
School has been received and con-
forms with the standards for admis-
sion set by the board of trustees of
this college -" ,.... ..-....
Pete's mother was as anxious as
he as he unfolded. his letter, '"What
does 1T say Peter" she demanded.
what does it say?"
Pete handed it to her. It said:
"Your record from Blank High
School has been received and since
1t does not, come UP to, the, stapd-
ards for admission set by the board
of trustees of this college, regret to
inform you :"

School children interpreted Ju-
nior Red Cross work to include a
study of the school population in It's
social aspect, and they found ample
material for analysis. There were
new immigrants from all European
countries going through the process
of Americanization in the public
schools. They proved to be made OF
the same ambitions and emotions as
native. American children, good
buddies, eager to learn, to play and
to cooperate in extra-curricular
activities. From them, American
children learned the importance OF
Junior Red Cross projects which
were in their own ciassrooms.
Through them, American children
glimpsed the eagerness OF foreign
children for anything material and
cultural, because the war; had de-:
+priyed them Of so much OF every
thing. =,
The Junior Red Cross Christmas
boxes were packed by the hundred; ;
the school albums consumed hours
in careful preparation and they
contained friendly letters, school
schedules, pen sketches Of school
buildings, water colors Of local
scenery, calendars of civic activi-
ties and addresses to invite cor
respondence.
Most of this work was done by
eighth-grade pupils, and as ninth
graders they had the thrill OF dis
playing to their successors the let
ters and albums which came back
to them from other countries. One
album which Is especially valued,
contained water colors of scenery in
South Africa, and sketches of chill
dren taking part in sports. What a
thrill to realize that in all countries
youth can meet on the common
ground of games Of skill!
Because of these experiences, our
youth feels that the strength Of
America lies not only in its ma
terials of var backed by almost I'M
bounded natural resources, but also
In its national characters citi-
zenry Caucasian, Mongolian, Ne
groid; European, Asiatic, African;
with the American Indian welded
into an invincible power that not
only established the first free people
ON this earth, but has five times
proven that it can defend its way
of living.
The youth of America is anxious
to share its heritage with the youth
of other countries, and through the
Junior Red Cross they are equipped
to spread their influence to the
corners of the earth in bettering
human relations until q way to
lasting peace is found.

1t has nothing like the influence on prices that
is exercised for instance by the simple fact
that selling costs on the whole are greater
than production costs.
Neither have wages showed the prices up.
To anyone who looks at the question with the
same scientific thinking he applies to a stalled
car. it should be obvious that so long as the
entire series of wage increases were sought
to try to catch up with higher prices, they
could no more have caused the rise in prices
than the boiling kettle could have made the
long as real earnings have been going down
instead Of up, they could not have been exert
ing any upward push on prices, it is impos-
sible.
Prices have gone up for the simple reason
that no one sells anything any cheaper than
he has to. Anyone who did would be called
a damned fool by his associates. It's that
simple. AS long as all that is offered can be
sold at the price quoted. there is no reason to
expect prices to come down
Why has not increased production
brought enough on the market to check the
rise in prices? For the simple reason that
we who do the producing have our work
assigned to us-and we are assigned to doing
either more and more useless work, or more
work for the useless people, and less work
for ourselves. Those who lay out the chores
for the working class do not want to see us
get a better deal and so the obvious
remedy is that labor should organize as a
class and lay out its own chores.

LabOr's New Political League

The San Francisco convention of the
American Federation of Labor made labor
history recently. in our judgment, when it
approved the establishment of a "Labor's
Educational and Political League. How
strong or effective this League will turn out
to be in the next national electoral campaign
is. at the moment, relatively unimportant.
The basic fact remains that the formation
of this new AFL agency, which resulted from
a recommendation of the federation's execu-
tive council, is a drastic departure from form
err AFL political policy.
Most definitely, the "Educational and Po-
litical League puts the AFL into national
and state politics. 1t bears no resemblance
to the time-worn "non-partisan' political
committees loosely stitched onto AFL bodies
the country over in time of campaigns. Its
purpose bluntly is to erect a wall against the
onrushing waves of reaction. 1t believes it
can accomplish this aim through sound po-
litical education and reflective political ac-
ton by organized labor.
This political League will not be fl
nanced by union treasury funds, that's clear.
While the pattern of the Leagues" struc-
ture is. at the moment, not definitely laid out,
it is reasonable to assume that it will be fl
nanced from voluntary contribution by union
members all over the land. The millions of
organized workers in our country have been
sufficiently aroused to the danger of the re-
dictionary anti-labor crusade to contribute
eagerly to such a defensive political fund.
This anti-labor crusade means not only the
Taft-Hartley act; it embraces the entire pois-
onous anti-union atmosphere created by the
labor-hate peddlers in every part of the
country since the end of the war.
