FIRED!

President Truman understands this and so do the
members elect of the 8Ist Congress so also do the
daily newspapers, the magazines, the columnists and
the radio commentators who tried so hard for so long
to convince US we couldn win.
And so do the leaders Of the Republican Party and
the men who financed its lavish campaign.
But we must expect that our enemies In Congress
and some even in the President cabinet, having failed
at the polls, will try every politician s trick to delay and
obstruct MANY of the legislative proposals which Mr..
Truman will advance. The newspapers and weekly
newsmagazines already are trying to convince us we
really didn't win much.
They are trying to rally the reactionaries to fight
the Presidents program. We predict that they will
fail. We predict that this election will result in far
reaching changes. 1t may even change some of the
leaders Of the Republican Party. Perhaps now men like

Ours is a land blessed with plenty =. blessed with free
dom but we didn't lust grow" that way. The Pilgrim
Fathers had to work hard for their first real harvest. Roger
Williams braved danger and privation for freedom of con-
science. In "Seventy-Six," Americans fought and died for
an idea that later became our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
And after the Revolution, with the formation of workers
guilds, began the long struggle of organized labor to raise
the living standards Of the American people.
We've come a long way-but that does not mean that we
can rest on our laurels! There's still plenty to do-and labor
can do it!
Some of our freedoms can stand a lot Of expansion. No
American should be barred from the job he's able to fill, the
home he needs, the school he wants, because of prejudice
against his race, his religion, his ancestry.
Our f%orefathers tOled and sacrificed to fashion a heritage
Of equal opportunity for all. In all lands, in all ages-that
has been the goal Of decent, honest men. This goal is close to
the hearts Of American workers.
So, by all means, let US enjoy our turkey-with all the
trimmings, OF course-but let us remember that toinorrow's
Thanksgiving depends on what we do today!

Plain City Jacks
Win Opener

Plain City Jacks" opened their
basketball season Sunday after
noon with a well earned and de-
served victory over the Marion
Pros in a game which was close
all the way, the final count being
As to AZ.
The dounpour of rain which
lasted all afternoon held the at
tendance down considerable but
those loyal fans in the stands
were treated to two fine games on
the opening program.
After trailing at half time by a
20 to 25 count the Jacks" came
from behind to gain the verdict
in the fourth and final quarter. 1t
was a rather rough and hard
fought contest which furnished
plenty of thrills for the crowd.
Jim Converse led the Plain City
team in the scoring with six field
goals and one foul for a total of
13 points. Fee and Hamilton each
counted II and were tied for the
runner up honors. Hamilton, who
is a new conner on the squad this
season was outstanding in his in
itial contest and played a great
part in his teams victory. Both
his floor work and rebounding
on the bankboards was spectacu-
lar.
In the preliminary game the
Hume & Mabe team from Lon
don dropped a free scoring contest
to the Youman's Grain Club of
Plain City by the score of 81 to So,
From the spectators viewpoint the
game was thriller, with the lead
changing hands several times dur
ing the last half.
Next Sunday afternoon, Dec.5,
the Jacks" will meet the Vile
Motors of Columbus, one of the
best teams in Central Ohio. Fans
can rest assured that this game
will be an outstanding event for
Fred Vile the well known Co.

Youman's team in the prelimi-
nary contest on the program next
Sunday afternoon. This game will
start at l:30. The Legion team has

Redwood High School opened
its basketball season Friday eve
ming by handing Raymond a

a little first quarter difficulty
with the fighting Raymond team
but they picked up momentum
as the game progressed and turn
