The fellow who said, .'T am doing this for
the person love-namely, me- might sound
conceited but, if you really analyze this state
ment there is lot of truth in it. 1t is your
God given right to think lot of yourself, be- /.
cause, if you don't figure and plan for your
future l am sure no will do it for you.
One of the surest ways to insure your future
is to join PA.C. and be active member in
it. Where could you get more for your dollar?
have heard people say ''Why should throw
a dollar away for P.A.C." I would like to
point out some of the things that this dollar
can and will do for you and why it is neces-
sary.
You and know that it takes money to start
a venture and keep it going successfully. 1t
takes money to win a war; it takes money to
start machine shop; it takes money to build
a home. In fact, it takes money to do any job
that is worth doing. To run P.A.C. like it
should be run takes money too. There are
offices to be set up literature to buy and dis
tribute; salaries to be paid to the staff men,
bers and countless other things Yes, it takes
money, lot of money but, feel it is such
worth while cause that each and everyone
one of you should welcome the opportunity
of paying your dollar.
AS you have heard many times before
P.A.C. is affiliated with no political party
whatsoever, it is strictly non-partisan. Our
fight is strictly for the man who will give
labor a fair deal The vicious Taft-Hartley Bill
necessity of the proper people in public offices.
Our main object is to fight for what is right
and just. Any of you who have relatives or
friends on Old Age Pensions know it is far
inadequate to meet the mere necessities Of
life. We must all bear in mind that some day
we, too, will be old and would like enough to
live in comfort for the remainder of our days.
There should be Social Security program
adequate enough to provide for the aged, the
sick, the unemployed the crippled orphaned
and widowed. This can be possible if liberal
and progressive people are elected to public
offices. P.AC. can and will do this job for you
if given half a chance. The working people
have made wonderful strides in recent yearS.l
and their opportunity for further gains has
never been greater than it is today, if we all
pull together
One of labors greatest aims in life should
be year round employment. In Country as
wealthy as this America of ours this is pos
sble. People who come up from the ranks of
labor and those who understand the working
mans problem know this is possible and
should be accomplished if we to continue
advancing. There is no reason why there
should be depressions, inflatons or anything
of this kind in Country where people are
willing and ready to work and to spend the
money they earn. If you stop to analyze it
you will realize we are the strongest force in
this Country of ours and if we all ban together
and strive for it nothing will be impossible.
1HS 10 yOuI IlSlI anu you De more Sldu
to put your shoulder to the wheel.
I may have missed few points in trying to
tell you how P.A.C. can help, but believe this
column contains enough to make you appreci-
ate the fact that you would not be throwing
your dollar away. If you are already mem
ber want to say "thank you" If not, join to-
day; be active in the fall election and cast your
vote in November. In doing this you will feel
the satisfaction of knowing you are helping to
make this better world for yourself and fam
lily to live in.
