MILTON

Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel DOwnie, of
Chester, Pa, and Mrs. Bessie d.
Banning of Greenwood, were the
weekend guests Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Banning.
Every citizen who has a stake in
the future of his community can and
should be a member of the P. T. A.
Mr.. William Jameson, Chairman Of
the Delaware State Congress of
Parents and Teachers, told an in
terested audience at the Milton
School last Friday evening.
Not only parents and teachers
"and we especially like grandpar-
ents," added Mr.. JamiesOn-but all
those eager to help prevent future
wars, social upheaVal and economic
depressiOns, will find these aims en-
bodied in the program of the P. T. A.
organizations.
Working with existing civic
groups and with our local, state and
national governments, the National
Congress of Parents and Teachers
has for over so years sought to
unite the forces Of home, school and
community in behalf of the welfare,
education and protection of children
and youth. It believes that if every
child is to have an opportunity to
live full ife, satisfying to himself
and useful to his community, the
following goals must be reached:
good homes, sound health, safety,
equalized educational opportunity,
conservation of human values and
natural resources, vocational ad-
justment, constructive leisure-time
activities, civic responsibility and
active spiritual faith.
The Milton group voted to re-Or-
ganize its P. T. A., thus joining in
the recent rapid growth of P. T. A.
membership in Delaware. Mr.. War
rem Good, principal of the school,
acting as temporary chairman,
named the following temporary
committees, who will report at the
next meeting of the organization,
when officers are to be elected and
bylaws adopted:

Swiss Fear Tourist Slump

GENEVA (R - The Swiss
travel experts are not very happy
about the prospects for the winter
tourist season in Switzerland. At a
recent meeting of agents of the
Swiss Tourist Agency from all parts
of the world, it was generally
agreed that a great many travellers,
for one reason or another, are going
to stay away from Switzerland this
winter.
This is no reflection on the fun
and facilities available. The difficult
international situation is one reason.
Another, Swiss experts in the Uni
ted States reported, is the failure of
Switzerland to advertise enough.
They said the prospective Ameri-
can guests were subjected to a
"drumfire" of British and French
tourist propaganda, which had been
quite successful.

full beneath her fiery hair. 1t seemed hours aterward
that Anne Lefty was not casual at all There was
too much movement in her slim, deft fingers, too much
laughter that came from her throat and did not touch
her mouth at all.
And suddenly Anne knew. Lefty had been in love
with Alex - she was still in love with him. From her
corner of the lounge she watched him with eyes that
held hunger and helpless resentment
Shock took hold of Anne, and she thought SWIFTLY
What if it should happen to me? What if am going
down the same lonely blind alley? What if after a

He lit cigarette his face dark in the tiny match
glow. Lefty, he said wanted to put yoke around
my shoulders"
oh" She felt the thick beat of her heart What's
80 strange about that? Everyone yoke sooner
or later, don't they?"
"A small minority has escaped" said Alex dryy.
And you're proud of being of that minority, she
thought whats wrong with two people sharing
yoke together?" she asked evenly.
He grinned without humor. "I'm always amused

She fought her fright by getting up quickly

HE ROSE too How'd we ever get on this morbid
subject anyway" he complained galy, and crossed
the room and took hold of her shoulders with gentle
hands. This is goodby for couple Of weeks. Anne.

Called out - or going out on the spur of the mo-

His brilliant blue eyes went softly her face.

Good night" she said, and looked at the closed
door.
She walked steadily into the bedroom and began
undressing She tried to say: That's that; she tried
to call into play all the little sensible characteristics
that had always enabled her to close subject firmly
With half her mind she thought: Maybe he's gone to

Halifax Labor Seeks
Aid For Pensioners

st. John, N. B. (ILNS)- The
District Trades and Labor Council
has launched a drive aimed at fore
ing a downward revision in living
costs, with emphasis on the plight
of old age and war pensioners and
their dependents. 1t is being point
ed out that old age pensioners in
New Brunswick province are paid
only a $50 per month maximum,
some getting even less, and that
such pensioners are greatly handi-
capped in buying the basic necessi-
ties because of sky-high prices.
Cited particularly by the cOun-
Gil is the current butter price of
IA cents per pound. The dairy COM
bine continues able to defy the
people by shutting out margarine
for manufacture and sale. The do
minion government has consistent
ly refused to take the monopoly
away from the dairy combine by

are the private soldiers in the
ranks Of communism.
The care and raising Of a new
communist is almost as routine as
the multiplication table. At the be-
ginning there is considerable ac-
cent on social life-many Of the
members have been lonely, and
every effort is given to make them
feel welcomed and wanted. The
Establishments Of wine, women and
song are used freely. They are
stimulated by conversation which
is above their heads, and soon de-
velop an eagerness to learn so that
they may become the mental Equals
Of their teachers. They are initially
fed Marxism in kindergarten-sized
doses-except, Of course, in the
case Of the intellectuals who be-
gin with an adequate background.
Injustices, real and imaginary, in
American life are pointed up and
pounded home.
Step by step, the convert moves
along. Soon he is given easy, minor
tasks, such as helping to distribute
communist literature and to form
part of claque at meetings. Al
most unconsciously, he takes on
more work. Communism assumes
an ever-growing role in his life. If
he is the right type, he is eventual
ly used to do some organizing on
his own hook, often in the place
where he works. He is taught to
look for other dissatisfied work
ers and to subtlely prepare them
for immersion in the cause. He may
be employed for strong arm jobs,
such as heckling and breaking up
Of anti-communists.
Finally, he discovers that com
munism is his world, and that
everything else is secondary. He
finds that his superiors expect him
to be communist "a hours day,
that there is no limit to the work
they may give him, and that they
must be obeyed without question.
When that point is reached, he is
considered of real value to the or
ganization.
If he becomes disillusioned and
wishes to drop his affiliation, he
finds that extremely difficult, call
ing for a degree of courage and
will power that few human beings
possess. Every conceivable form Of
social and economic pressure will be
brought against him and his fam
ily. He will be subjected to threats !
and he will know, from previous I
examples, that the threats are car
ried out to the letter. In some

NLRB is Swamped
By Case Backlog;
Worst Yet TO Come

Washington - As predicted by
AFL leaders the National Labor
Relations Board has been literally
lswamped with work since enact
.ment Of the Taft-Hartley law.
A statistical report covering the
boards activities in the first 6
months under the legislation re-
veals that 1850 cases were filed
since August %, 1947, more than
were brought to the NLRB in any
one Of the boards first full IL
years.
Under this avalanche Of busi-
ness, which is continuing at an ever
increasing rate, the backlog of
cases pending disposition by the
NLRB rose to $500, nearly 2h
times the number Of cases pending
when the Taft Hartley law became
effective.
OF this number, SEQ cases were
filed under the Wagner Act which
means that the 6-months accumula-
tion Of cases under the new law has
hit the astounding total Of 1900.
Put in simple terms the NLRB at
the end Of February was twice as
far behind with Taft-Hartley cases
alone as it was after II years oper-
alton under the Wagner Act.
The 1900 case Taft Hartley
backlog is broken down into ,430
unfair labor practice cases and
6,470 petitions for various types of
elections. Analysis of the election
petitions received in the 6-month
period shows 1910 were for union
shop authorization polls, 1920 ask
ed for collective bargaining deci-
sions, while 140 petitions for de-
certification elections were filed.

ing and indoctrination are far
more easily handled. And when the
time for action comes, the com
munist cells can act with incredi-
bic purpose and efficiency. Nothing
is left to chance. Everything is
and the task Of every
member is clearly detailed. It was
last done that way in Czechoslova-
kia, and the world now knows the
results.

/ iseparable from Local Welfare.
In every country in which the
communist party is active-a cate.
cory that includes practically all Of
the nations Of the World-it works
on the proven military principle
that a small, highly-trained and
disciplined force can easily control
a large but undisciplined mob. This
principle has demonstrated its
soundness beyond question in com
munism's alma mater, the Soviet
Union. The communist party with
in Russia has only a million or 50
members, but this little elite force
has no difficulty in dominating the
rest of the 190,CO0,CCO-plus Rus
slams. And the party, in turn, is
directed by a central committee
made up of ten members and four
alternates whose decisions are abb
solutely final, and from which no
appeal can be taken.
Whether or not communist parties
outside Of the Soviet Union are
actually directed from the Krem-
lin has been the subject of much
acrimonious argument. 1t doesn't
make great deal Of difference
either way, for the pattern is al
ways the same. 1t has been def
nitely proven that some communist
leaders have been given their train
ing in Russia and then sent abroad
to the United States and other
countries to spread the gospel.
These leaders are chosen for var
ious qualities - intelligence, ruth
lessness, the ability to lead and
sway others, and above all, for
passionate, religious faith in the
communist doctrine.
Many people used to doubt COM
munism's effectiveness on the
grounds that it would be impossible
TO obtain converts on even a small
scale in country such as the
United States. Circumstances have
blasted that point of view. The
communist leaders have found
following among two entirely diff
ferent kinds of people. The first
kind consists of intellectuals with
a burning desire for Utopia who
can be persuaded that Karl Marx,
as edited by Stain and company,
has pointed the way. These people
are carefully trained as editors,
manifesto-writers, speakers, and
leaders of sub-groups.
The second kind consists of peo-
pie who for one reason or another
are bitter at the world, feel that
society has cheated them, are en-
vious of others, and are eager to
take part in any movement that
promises to make them top dog
IN some blazing future dawn. These
