Lord Hacking, British travel
leader, recently made some sensi-
BILE suggestions for encouraging in
ternational travel by eliminating
restrictions an annoyances which
now hamper it. international travel
he pointed out, helps to cement
friendship between nations and to
assure a world Of peace.
Speakink at luncheon in New
York, Lord Hacking, who is chair
man for the Travel Association Of
Great Britain, advocated the issu-
ance of passports on the basis Of
only one condition, that the travel
er have accommodations for his
round-trip passage. He said he
favored doing away with passport
fees between the United States and
Great Britain and expressed the
hope that Great Britain would
abolish other travel restrictions,
including a requirement that visit
ors register with local police when
they land on British soil.
He predicted that 10000 Ameri-
cans would visit the British Isles
this year and said the figure might
reach 10000 in 1913.
John G.. Winant, former ambas-
sador to Great Britain, has issued
a plea for unity in connection with
American Brotherh h o o d Week,
which organized labor endorses
and supports.
Winant, who has accepted the
general Craftsmanship of the 14th
annual observance of Brotherhood
Week, Feb. Is to %, is now visit
ing England. He will soon return
to this country to tour the nation
in support of the American Broth
erhood campaign for religious un-
derstanding and cooperation. He
recently resigned from the Eco
nomic and Social Council of the
United Nations.
A statement by Winant, just
made public, called "the spiritual
well-being and social advancement
Of all peoples" the Every substance
of life itself" He added: "It is our

ers, who have just won a general
wage increase of Is cents an hour,
will be thicker by more than 9 mil
lion dollars this year.
Effective Feb. 3, the increase
was negotiated by the Textile
Workers Union under wage re-
opening clause in the unions con-
tracts with the American Woolen
Co., Botany Worsted Mills and the
Forstmann Woolen Co. The agree
ments expire Feb. 1, 194S.
TWUA President Emil Rieve
said he expected the increase,
which covers workers in % mills
in New England, New York, New
Jersey and Kentucky, would also
be granted by the 140 other woolen
and worsted mills under union con-
tract. This would mean an annual
payroll increase for the 10000
workers in TWUA contract mills
of more than % million dollars.
Last previous general wage in
crease in the industry was a gen.
eral Is cents hourly rise in Decem-
Der 1915. The current increase
raises the minimum wage in the %
affected mills from rs to 90 cents
an hour and lifts the average
straight time hourly earnings from
$1.01 and hour to $1.16, or $46.40
for a 40-hour week.

Poll Tax Repeal
Bill Again HR J

Washington (FP) - For the
third consecutive term of Con-
gress, the anti-polltax bill has been
introduced by Representative Vito
Marcantonio and has for the third
time been designated as HR Z.
In each of the previous sessions,
the bill won through to passage in
the House, only to be killed in the
Senate by filibustering tactics of
polltax Democrats.
Marcantonio's bill this time was
referred to the new committee on
House Administration. He plans to
help organize bipartisan group
to press for early committee ap-
proval in order to speed the meas
ure again onto the floor.
The bill makes unlawful the re-
quirement of polltax payments as
a prerequisite to voting in a pri-
mary or general election for ma
tional officers-congressmen, SEN
ators or the president.

Proving conclusively that it
Yielded to no one in the use of the
big lie," the New York Times
Aug. 27, 1916 wrote of Greece as
"citadel of freedom"
Reporter after reporter who had
been in Greece has written of the
conditions of terrorism and repres-
sion which exist in that country.
On Oct. Is, Thomas Healy, New
York Post foreign correspondent
who had been in Greece for a num-
ber of months, said: "Six months
Of the Tsaldaris administration
finds Greece under repression such
as is associated with totalitarian
rulers. Civil liberties and rights
are withdrawn, replaced by brutal

LAFAYETTE WINS
In the evenings opener, LaFay-
cite and Mt. Cory put up an even

BlufftOn High Eleven Will Open
Season At KentOn On Friday Night

Opening a rigorous nine-game
schedule, including five contests at
home, Bluffton High gridders will
make their first defense of the West
ern Buckeye league title, won last
year, in a tilt with Kenton at that
place this Friday night.
Neither Bluffton nor Kenton is
overly flushed with lettermen this
season, and the opener on Friday
will give the two coaches an oppor-
tunity to size up their candidates
and their chances for success in fall
competition.
The only Pirate edge probably will
be the fact that the locals gained
some experience in the 16-minute
scrimmage with Forest in last Sat
urday's gridiron preview here, but
Kenton will have the advantage in
size and also in replacement
strength.
Bluffton looked very good defens-
lively in their preview assignment,
but so far as offense was concerned
the teams wares were kept pretty
well under the wraps.
Coach Kent Cotterman has had a
man-sized assignment in moulding
his team into shape, for there are
only four lettermen on the squad

4 party of Bluffton anglers en-
ioyed excellent bass fishing at Bruce
Mines, Ontario, Canada, the past
week. Carl, Ray, and Wade Mumma
and Alva Mccartney from Findlay
who made the trip said the bass bit
so freely it was possible to fill boat
in a days fishing if a person was not
too concerned about the size of the
fish. Consequently the party of men
just limited themselves to taking
home few fair sized fish each day
for eating purposes. Such excellent
fishing was enjoyed at Boundary
lake which is we'll known to other
guests of Rueben Bielhartz who has
cottages there for hunters and fish
ermen.
Crawlers and minnows were used
for bait with few artificial lures used.
Carl Mumma landed a 21a pound
bass with his fly rod using an arti-
ficial fly. On one fishing trip Ray
Mumma and Carl snagged so bass,
taking only 8 home with them. All
bass in the lake come from an
original planting of a few breeders
by Bielhartz and other natives.
The lakes are deep, very clear and
uncontaminated. Natives will not per-
NIT any pollution Of any type to be
carried into the water and even dead
fish are buried or tossed out on the
bank.
Other bodies of water fished by the
four men were Skookum, Cooper and
Marie Lakes, the latter reached by
traversing the two other lakes by
boat and portage over land through
very dense underground.
Guides of the area stated that dur
ing April so trout an hour could be
taken in the streams and lakes of
the area.
The Bluffton men said huckleber-
ries were to be found in abundance
and farmers were just now cutting
the oats crop.

a Saturday.
Zone hunting system has been
dropped by the Conservation Divi-
sion because of the difference in nut
harvest season in the Northern and
southern parts of the state. Hunt
ers, however, found the zone system
made very little difference in hunt
ing and asked that it be discon-
tinued.
Be easy on the trigger finger and
use extreme care this year to
prevent hunting accidents due to
.carelessness. Tension that comes
from sitting quietly on a stump in
the woods listening to the rattle of
leaves tends to increase carelessness
on the part of most squirrel hunters.

active in improving squirrel hunting
in the area. Early last March under

be set up as soon as negotiations
can be completed.

Kenneth Bracy, senior, fullback;
James Howe and John KIay, senior
tackles, and Keith Moore, a senior,
who played at end last seson, but
who has been shifted to a backfeld
post this fall.
Blutfton's line is fairly good sized,

ception.
