James R. Paxton, born April
6, 1900, was the seventh child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseuh H. Pax
ton. The Senior Paxtons then
resided at Forrest City, Iowa,
moving the entire family to
Zion May II, 1901, when
James was only 13 months old.
The City of Zion had just
shortly been opened by John
Alexander Dowie, hence most
of the people moving to Zion
lived in tents except those who
were accommodated in the few
scattered farm houses.
The Paxton family set up
housekeeping in a tent staked
out on the triangular lot just
north of the present City Hall
while awaiting completion of
their first home at 1912 Edna
Boulevard early in October.
This home is we'll preserved
and is at present owned by Ar
thur F. Wright.
Shortly after moving into
their new home Mrs. Paxton
was stricken with pneumonia
and died October 7, 1902. Jim's
father was later married to
Gertrude Lizzie Hale, on May
IL, 1904. Mrs. Joe. Paxton is

"LET EVERY MAN BE FULLY
PERSUADED IN HIS
OWN MIND"
(Romans 1850

\4SOAl1CtI1O LIZ ~
The Scripture quoted above
is found in the writings of the
Apostle Paul.
The exhortation is one that
might we'll be needed by each
and every voter in School Dis
trict No. 6.
Because a number of per-
sons have been inquiring as
to whether I had changed my
mind in regard to the PROPOSE
ton of the Bond Issue, I feel
it is necessary that I go on re-
cord as stating that have seen
no reason whatsoever to alter
the position which I took at
the time of the previous cleo
ton.
My reason for voting NO on
the proposition that came up
at that time, I explained at
length during the meeting held
in Zion Auditorium on We'd
nesday evening, May 26th, and
reported in THE THEOCRAT
of June End.
I feel that I made my posi-
ton plain at that time, but
would emphasize the fact that
in this matter I am acting as
an individual citizen and tax
payer who has a vital interest
in our educational facilities.
A matter of such vital i'm
portance to our entire COM
munity is worthy of careful
consideration by every voter
in the district, and I would
urge every one who has the
time to vote to, first of all,
"be fully persuaded in his own
mind" and then go to the polls
Saturday afternoon, June 26th,
and register that conviction on
the ballot.

SCHOOL BOARD ASKS
VOTERS TO APPROVE
BOND ISSUE
By Ford Wilson

The members of Board of
Education District No. 6 an
nounce that special school
election will be held on Satur-
day June &c, with polls OPEN
ing at II noon and closing at
700 p. m. to again consider
the two bond issues totaling
S195,000 needed for construc-
ton of the proposed east"
school and the "Intermediate"
building, planned for Shiloh
Park on 9th Street and Bethel
Boulevard to house 7th and 9Th
grade students.
Voters will ballot on these
two propositions at the pres
ent time because board mem
bers feel that the issues in the
May 18th election were rather
confusing and misunderstood
by a number of residents who
have changed their opinions
since that time.

Report Highlights Factors Leading To Industrial Peace

A recent report issued by Prince ton University emphasizes the fact that industrial peace and prosperity can be and are actually attained whenever labor and management work jointly toward that end.
 It is regrettable that newspapers, always anxious to give great public ity to the comparatively few exam ples of strife between unions and en- ployers, gave little or no mention of the significant publication.
 ''Constructive Labor Relations" is the documents title. It's based on a study of four large eastern plants with ''model'' union-management relations, selected from a list of 70 recommended by labor and indus trial leaders.
 The four are: R. Hoe & Co.,, print ing press manufacturers. New York City; Alexander Smith & Sons Car pet Company, Yonkers, N. Y.; Brown Instrument Company, Philadelphia, and H. Daroff & Sons, Philadelphia, makers of mems clothes. Each has had a record remarkably free of strife ever since union contracts were signed years ago.
 The principle reasons for the suc- cess of these companies, as reported by the authors of the study, Richard A. Lester and Edward A. Robie, are as follows:
 Arrangements in all four cOm- panies are determined to live with the union rather than contest its existence or leadership.

Food Prices In New Haven At Record High

Retail prices of food in New Haven increased "A percent be- tween mid-March and id-April, it was announced today by Wendell D. Macdonald, Regional Director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. s. Department of Labor. This increase was mainly the result of higher prices for meats, dairy products, and fruits and vegetables, and exceeded the price decrease of the previous month.
 Food prices in Ne.O Hauen in April sUere O.8 percent higher than q year ago and III.O percent higher than in August I939 at the out breGk Of the sOGr. These are the latest official figures.
 Average prices for meats, poultry, and fish advanced 3.3 percent. Prices for beef and veal rose 5.3 percent, pork prices 3.7 percent, lamb 6.5 per cent, and chicken prices 2.2 percent. The average price of fresh and canned hsh declined 3.2 percent.
 The average price of fruits and vegetables was 3.5 percent higher than in mid-March, as the result of 3.9 percent increase in the price of fresh varieties and rises of l.I percent and 2.l percent respec- lively in the price of canned and dried items.

Proposed actions affecting em- plOyees are discussed in advance with the unions and attempts are made to reconcile differences.
 ''In each of the companies. in- dustrial relations are handled large y by operating executives. who spend much of their time on such matters.
 "A considerable degree of mu- tual trust and confidence exists be- tween the parties.
 "Crievances are handled expedi- tiOusly the emphasis is on solv- ing problems rather than adhering to legal rules or rigid principles.
 ''The union in each case has had considerable strength, stability and unity =. the leadership is construc- tive, not revolutionary and each local union follows democratic procedure"
 The story at the Hoe plant is par ticularly Illuminating. After over two decades of good relations between the Machinists and the company, a strike over wages broke out in 1923, which the management smashed. It got an antistrike injunction, hired an army ot strikebreakers and established the "open shop"
 But the company lost money almost every year thereafter and went into receivership in 1885.
 A year later, it signed with the Machinists again, and thereafter the company's books quickly turn. ed from red to black.

Free Chest X-Rays will be offered to all residents of the New Haven area, over the age of Is, at the New Haven City Health Department from June 7 to June 30.

Unions Send Greetings To
 Jewish State

New York (LPA)-Organized la- bor last week hailed the establish ment of the, new state of Israel and demanded the lifting of the arms embargo to permit the Jewish miIi- tia to defend itself in battle with Arab invaders.
 At a rally sponsored by the Nat'i Committee for Labor Palestine, Jacob Potofsky, president of the Amalga- mated Clothing Workers, said that several units of the union were pre- pared to purchase arms for the Jewish militia if such action is legalized.
 William Collins of the N. Y. Fed eratiOn of Labor read a telegram from AFL President William Green which said that the United Nations is under obligation to support the partition of Palestine to which it had agreed.
 "l strongly urge that full meas ure of support be extended to the Jewish people in Palestine. They should be supplied with arms and fighting equipment in full meas ure," Greens message said.
 Organization Director Allan Hay wood delivered President Philip Mur- rays declaration that "the Jewish state will offer home to the homeless ito the most persecuted group of the weary men and women, salvaged from the Hitler extermination camps"
 The meeting unanimously praised the role of Histadrut, the Jewish labor federation, in creating the Palestinian community. It congratu- lated President Truman on his prompt recognition of Israel, and called for a lifting of the embargo on arms shipments to the new state.
 Over the signature of its chairman, Adolph Held, and its treasurer, David Dubinsky, president of the Int'l Ladies Garment Workers Union-AFL, the Jewish Labor Committee congratu- lated the veteran Zionist leader, Dr. Chaim Weizmann on his election as president of Israel. "No man living has contributed SO much towards its creation as you," they told the uni versally respected Jewish statesman.
