William B. Mccormack in
farming community on the out
skirts of Wichita, Kas., in 1890,
DR.. Mccormack came to Zion
at the age of Is with his par
ents in 1905. Through reading
the Leaves of Healing, Daryl's
grandmother had learned of
DR.. John Alexander Dowie and
the wonderful city he had es-
tablished here on the shores of
Lake Michigan.
Grandfather Mccormack
constructed the first family
residence at 1920 Emmaus
Ave-, where Daryl and his
wife and family now live.
Daryl's father attended the
Zion Parochial schools, and
then worked for the Zion Lace
Factory (nOw knoWne as Field
crest) for three years before
taking an outometry course at
the Northern Illinois Optome-
try college in Chicago.
Less than two years after he
opened his shop in the Zion
Department stores, DR.. McCor-
mack was married to the for
mer Miss Maude Gallagher
and their first home was at
1916 Eshcol Ave. 1t was here
that their first son, DR.. Harley
G.. Mccormack was born.
Shortly after this DR.. McCor-
mack built his own home at
3018 Emmaus Ave., and it was
here that Daryl was born on
April 27, 1922.
DR.. Mccormack continued
in the employ Of the Indus
tries for close to 20 years and
then became the first person
to privately operate a depart
ment of the Industries. He re-
NAMED in the stores for eight
years longer and then, short
ly after the Butz Building was
built, he opened his present
shop at 1888 East 9th Street
in 1910.
In the meantime Daryl was
growing into young manhood.
He attended the Zion Paro-
chial schools until they were
closed and, after attending

monies took placer the home

The spending plans of the Ad-

Lucas Regrets Budget Size
Senator Lucas (D-IlD regretted
"the necessity to have such a large
budget" but said he was "encour-
aged to know that once again we
can balance the budget and have
a surplus to apply on the national
debt"
II don't see how we can avoid a
heavy outlay for military and naval
preparedness" commented Senator
COnnally "The world is in a state
of chaos and we can't afford to lay
down our arms until we know
where we are going"
Morris Sayre, president of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, said:
"The President now spells out,
in terms of the peoples labor and
property, the new New Deal spend
ing program unveiled in his speech
to the Congress last Wednesday.
"The President has offered the
nation a double dose of new infia-.

Not Biggest Outlay In Years
The $39, 100000 is the largest
spending estimate ever listed in a
peace time budget message. But it
would not be the largest amount
actually spent in a peace time year

OSAKA, Japan - You'd think
the Hon. Baseball Umpire in Japan

Well, he's immune from criticism

Anyway, he isn't happy. The UNI

ing the estimate reasonable at a
time when, as Senator Connally
lD-Tex) put it, 'the world is in a
state of chaos"
The total is about S2,OOO.OOO .OOO
larger than what Mr.. Truman ask
ed year ago for the fiscal year
ending this June 80. The biggest
items: $11,0OO,O0O, 600 for national
defense, $7,00O,O00,00O for interna-
tional programs, including Euro
pean recovery aid.
Must Remain High
"The plain fact is that our bud
get must remain high, Mr.. Tru-
man wrote in his message to Con-
gTess, "until we have met our in
ternatiOnaI responsibilities and can
see the way clear to a peaceful
and prosperous world"
Prudence demands it, he said.
Turning to the expected sur
pluses, he declared the Treasury
should be in the black by $780,
100000 on June 80 this year and by
an additional 4,8OO,O0O, 900 on
June 80, 1949. The $500, 900 900
figure would be the largest surplus
for any year in history and more
than the government spent in any
of its first 146 years.
Mr.. Truman urged that this mon
ey should be used to reduce the
public debt, rather than cut the
total tax take
Republicans, undeterred by Mr..
Truman's familiar argument, went
ahead with their plans to rush
through $4,000 100000 income tax
cutting bill.
While G. o. P. leaders said they
were astounded at the size of the
budget-and said it would be cut
there was little criticism of the
$11,000,000,00O for national de-
tense.

WE DON'T LABOR
ON LABOR DAY

Labor Day, contrary TO its title,
is a day marked by the closing of
all factories and stores, by meet
ings, picnics, parades, speeches,
athletic events and other holiday
activities.
Agitation for the celebration of
the day was begun by the
Knights Of Labour who, in 1882,
1888, and 1884 paraded on that
day in the city of New York. In
1884 the organization adopted a
resolution that the first Monday
in September should be consid-
cred Labour Day, and to be con-
sidered a holiday. Workmen of
all organizations aided in the
movement.
Oregon, New York, New Jersey
and Colorado were among the
first states to mark that day as a
legal holiday.
On this day in 1913, working
peoples Of st. Paul ceased labor
ing and made II a day Of festivity.
Among those making Labor
Day a day Of gala affairs were the
