the child is older and ready for it..
Children and mothers today are
certainly fortunate. So many scien-
tifically planned things to make lie
easier for them both. With this new
step-up set In proper sizes for each
stage in child's development, it's
so much simpler for a mother to
teach her child how to use silver
ware properly.
We had an interesting chat with
the jeweler. I remarked that I re-
memhcred mother buying 1847 Ro-
gers Bros. way back when I was a
little girl, and he told us that the
three Rogers brothers, William,
Asa and Simeon, were the first to
turn out silverplate on a CONNER
cial basis when, after years Of ex-
perimenting. they founded the Am
erican silverplate industry in 1847.
Before that time virtually all sill
verware was made by melting silver
coins and then fashioning the Sill
yer into spoons and forks, so that
silverware was confined only to the
very wealthy. Today, thanks to their
efforts, every family is enabled to
give its children fine silverware
right from the START so they'll grow
up with an appreciation for the
beauty Of correct silver. Aren't we
Americans lucky?

ley was assigned as contact be-
tween the club and school.
Sometime ago each member
drew the name of another to
whom she should stand as secret

School System
Faces Critical
Time, Says Wells

In the face of an anticipated
withdrawal in federal aid for
the l948-49 session, the Pasca-
goula school system faces a cri-
teal period. Thomas r. Wells,
city school superintendent assert
ed in a talk before the Beach
Elementary school Parent : Tea
cher Association meeting.
Financing the schools is not
a new problem but the solution
seems more difficult in view of
the fact that the Emergency Fed
eral Aid, which has been avail
able for the last six years, seems
to be at an end" Mr.. Wells de-
clared. AT the present time it
would appear that maximum to-
tai revenues from all sources in
1948-49 would be approximately
$185, 600, which anticipates a min
imum of $40, 900 from the FEEDER
al Housing Authority in lieu of
taxes. And in view of the rapidly
changing occupancy in the feder-
ally owned housing, this amount
will be far from definite"
Even on the basis of a Is per
cent reduction in average daily
attendance in the schools, a bud
get of $225,000 to finance the
school program would be neces-
sary, he pointed out, and this
leaves a gap of approximately
$40,0 600 between anticipated re-
venue and expenditures. And edu-
cation costs will not remain the
same, he continued.
IF additional funds r not
made available for 1948-49," he
said, competent teachers will be
difficult to secure as they will
60 where better salaries are paid,
the high school will lose the
Southern Associations accredit-
ed rating, and the elementary
schools would drop Gown to the
lowest classification, increase in
teacher loads to an excessive num-
Der of pupils would be neces-
sary and many of the features
of the school system would have
to be eliminated entirely or re-
duced."
MIR Wells offered as a solu-
ton for the problem, an ade-
quate, equitable method of asses
sed valuation on all the proper
ties in the school district, i~ncreaS-
ed state funds for the common
schools, federal aid for public ed
ucation or continuation Of the
Emergency Aid program. An in
crease in funds from any one or
any combination of these sources
would go far to help ease the stu
alton, he said.
Mrs. Harris Brister spoke on
S hool legislation and a vocal solo
was given by Miss Margaret
Alyce Wilder. The chair was oc-
cupied by the president, Mrs.
John H. Cole.
An enjoyable part of the pro-
gram was a vocal solo by Miss

Small Building
 Trades May Not Come Under I'll

WASHINGTON (FP)- Small building trades contractors whose busi- nesses do not affect interstate com merce should not be brought under the Taft-Hartley law, NLRB Trial Ex- aminer Horace A. Ruckel decided this week.
 In the first case in which an NLRB trial examiner has declined to take jurisdiction under the vim dictive law, Ruckel said Walter J. Ruckel, Pittsburgh plasterer is too small for the NLRB to bother with. He dismissed the case, which has been brought by Local 3l, Opera tive Plasterers Intl. Assn. (AFL). NLRB Gen. Counsel Robert N. Den- ham had first assumed jurisdiction.
 Mentzer, himself a union member, employed between two and six men from time to time, and did an annual gross business of only $33,000. Ruckel said he did not believe 1t was the in tent of Congress because of its concern over jurisdictional disputes in the building trades Gin the Taft-Hart1ey law), that jurisdiction should be as- serted by the board in each and every case which involves one of those trades"
 The case may be appealed within 20 days, and final ruling on jurisdiction obtained from the 5-member NLRB.

Garment Union Loans Million To State Of Israel
"FREE RIDESo

Forest Park, Pa. (LPA)-In an ac- ton unprecedented in the history of trade unionism, the Int1 Ladies Gar ment Workers Union-AFL last week voted to loan the new State of Israel $1, 100000 from the union coffers.
 ''We have faith and confidence in the stability of Israeli" ILC Presi- dent David Dubinsky explained in announcing the union executive boards action, ''and it is the desire of our members to assist whole heartedly in this critical period of the young states existence"
 The loan is in addition to an out right gift of $220,000 which has gone to Haganah, the Jewish militia, and to HiStadrut the Jewish labor union federation in Palestine, and total of $150,000 each to the United Jewish Appeal and the Jewish Labor Com mittee.
 In other board actions. the ILG leaders voted to name the unions FM radio station in New York City WFDR. It also received a report that the unions retirement plan for officers will start paying benefits of about half the pensioners regular earnings on Jan. 1, 1o49.

Apprenticeship Ratio Difficult To Determine

Chicago.-The method for deter mining how many apprentices should be employed is one of the most controversial issues in the whole field of apprenticeship, Will liam F. Patterson, Director of the Bureau of Apprenticeship, said be- fore the OccupatiOnal Research Di- vision of the National Guidance Association.
 Patterson added that historically the matter of ratio has had an important place in apprenticeship In collective bargaining, especially between unions and groups of employers who were competitors of each other, the ratio was significant to both parties around the bargaining table. He said the union was thinking in terms of security for its membership and the employers were thinking in terms of fair competi- tion among themselves. This condition as 1t existed over the years was not a healthy one for the institution of apprenticeship.
 Director Patterson pointed out that too little thought and attention was given to the problem of developing broadly trained journeymen, thorough ly skilled in all techniqueS of the trade and with well-rounded knowledge of trade theory and practice.

Thinking About AdoptingAChild? Read This First

The Connecticut Child Welfare Association, Inc., is offering a free booklet and list of State licensed adoption agencies to any couple considering the advisability of adopting a child. All that is neces- sary to secure them is to send post card with the name and address to the Associations headquarters, 85 Whitney Avenue, New Haven.
 Published by the United States Children's Bureau under ahe caption "When You Adopt a Child the book let tells how to obtain healthy, happy youngster and what factors make for success in child adoption.
 Among the topics taken up for dis cusSion are: Why do people adopt children? How is adoption brought about? Where do you go to obtain a child? What should you know about the child you plan to adopt? What will the adoption agency wish to know about you? When and how should you tell child that he is adopted.
 Emphasis is placed on the need for care in selecting a child. You don't want just baby, the booklet warns. You want one who will fit into your home, who has been shown, by reliable tests, to be nor mai in mind and body and who is legally free to be given in adoption. Your best chance of achieving these goals is to let a recognized. licensed agency help you find a child.

Building Trades Plan Strong Council
More Evidence Labor Vote Is Not A "Myth"

More evidence that the Labor Vote" is not a myth! Last week, in Iowa, Uncle Sam's foremost agricul- tural state, organized labor supported William Beardsley, 47-year-old druggist, for governor in the Republi- can primary and gave the incumbent Governor Robert Blue who. with the backing of a powerful state machine was seeking third term. such a lick ing as few politicians have received in Iowa ln recent years.
 Blue thought 1t would be popular tc stick the harpoon into labor unions and he went the limit. Beardsley made decent record i'll the Lower House of the State Legislature.
 CWYNNE CLEANED UP
 In Iowa's Third Congressional Dis trict, organized labor moved against Congressman Gwynne and beat him to a pulp, nominating H. R. Gross, a former radio broadcaster.
 GWynne made a particularly nasty labor record in his IA years in the House. Probably his worst perform ance was his attempt to amend the Wage-Hour Act so as to make it comparatively safe for crooked en- ployerS to cheat workers.
 Gwynne tried to put over a bill which would make it impossible for a worker to recover unless he sued with in a year. Thousands of workers did n't know their rights under the law, so Gwynne thought it would be lots of fun to sock them before they could gain needed information.
 Now he'll have an opportunity to return to his law practice.

State Meeting In New Haven Faces Problem
Organization Must Solve Financidl Issue-AhIiates
 Grow In Number

Methods of further extending the organizational scope and in- fuence of the Connecticut State 5 u l d n g and Construction Trades Council will be given de- tailed consideration at the semi annual convention of the Council, to be held at the New Haven La Dor Temple on Saturday, Tune 19, at 10 AM.
 FREE RIDES''
 While the Council today has inc largest number of affiliates in its history, number of building trades locals in the state are not members. and are taking ''free ride'' at the expense of the others. Both Presi- dent Michael H. Barry and Secre- tary-Treasurer James O'Kane point out that if the Council is to do a maximum job, every local should not only be affiliated, but should help in solving the problems which face the building trades.
 The issue of financing the Council will be discussed at Saturdays meet ing. While many locals are using the work cards issued through the State Council by the A.F.L. Building Trades Department, large number are not. Here again the problem is to have all locals use the cards.
 Plans for the organization of sey- eral new local building trades Coun- c1ls will be reported to the convention by Secretary-TreaSurer' O'Kane. Local councils are basic to the overall work of the State Council.
 POLITICAL LEAGUE
 It is certain that the convention will take a strong stand favoring full CO., operation with the Connecticut Chap ter of Labor's League for Political Ac- tion. Many of the affiliated unions have already been urged by their in- ternationalS to help the League in every way possible. Both Joseph M. Rourke, Secretary-treasurer of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, and Rowland Bishop, director of the State League, will deal with this subject in their addresses to the convention.
 The housing situation will also come before the delegates. Whether the House of Representatives will have acted on the Taft-Ellender- Wagner Housing Bill by the time the convention opens is not known at this writing.
 Committee chairmen have been ap- pointed by President Barry. In view of the fact that the Taft-Hartley Law may fall hardest on the building trades unions, and that this subject also will come before the delegates. it is ex- pected that there will be a large at tendance at Saturdays meeting.

Free Speech Is Legal Basis Of. All Picketing

The U. s. Constitution, and the 14th Amendment m particular. protect the right of free speech. Keeping that basic principle in mind serves to make clear the various distinctions which are customarily drawn as to different types of picketing.
 Picketing is usually classified by the courts into peaceful and non- peaceful picketing. As a general rule, peaceful picketing is permit ted under the theory that the carry ing of banners or signs is one way of notifying the public of an exist ing dispute.
 Although state courts have tended to limit even peaceful picketing to a dispute between an employer and his employees, the U. s. Supreme Court has declared:
 "A state cannot exclude working men from peacefully exercising the right of free communication by draw ing the circle of economic competition between employers and workers SO small as to contain only an employer and those directly employed by him. |. The right of free communication can not be mutilated by denying it to workers in dispute with an employer, even though they are not in his ern- ploy."
 In recent case the Michigan supreme court reversed the lower court which had granted an iniunc. ton asked by the Standard Grocery Co. against the AFL. In this case the union was picketing the em- plOyer's place of business with signs declaring that his employes refused to join the union. The high court held that even though the employers business might suffer as the result of this picketing, the unions right to picket was para mount and could not be enioined.
 In another case decided at the same. time the Michigan court upheld an injunction which had been granted by the lower court to the Consumers Co. This firm had been picketed because 1t would not enter into a closed shop agreement with the Kalamazoo Build ing x Construction Trades Council (AFL) after its employees had refused to join the union.
 The court held that peaceful picketing could be stopped if its object was to compel an employer to commit an illegal act. It said the employer would have violated the Michigan statue if he had forced his employees to join the union after signing closed shop contract.
 Thus even the free speech provi sions of the constitution do not pro- tect picketing where the courts find that its object is illegal.
 The same court in the Standard case held that the Taft-Hartley law did not and cannot abrogate the con- stitutional right of free speech"
 But it certainly tries.
