A company can provide for the old
age OF its employees, and save SO per
cent OF the cost through consequent
deductions in its corporate income tax
liability. The gain to cover the other
81 per cent comes from reduced labor

If Italy goes Communistic on April
18th. Democracy is better than Oil
garchy or Fascism. Communism has
more democratic elements than either
Oligarchy or Fascism. Honesty in
government is better than footing and
corruption.
In Greece we are sustaining an Oil
garchy of swindling millionaires in
Athens and Salonika against the will
of a majority of the Greek people.
Seven-eighths of Greece is in the
hands of the guerrillas.
Turkey is a Fascist state pure and

There were no Soviet troops in

possible cause for this is that the

In Hungary, force was used to erect
Communism. This was regrettable.

spent his school days in the
Zion Parochial Schools and
Zion Preparatory College. Dur
ing his high school days, Ray
was fascinated with electrici-
ty, and spent most of his Off
time hours in the electrical de-
partment of Zion Stores
(which was located north of
Brownlow's Hardware Depart
ment) where he learned the
electrical business from the
ground up under the guiding
hand of Paul McEwen and
Tom Flanagan. In vacation
times he worked as an electri-
cal helper. In 1886 he started
to work for McEwen Electric
