The American
Flag

The American flag is symbolic OF
the American people - a nation
conceived in liberty and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are
created equal"
Thus the immortal Lincoln des-
cribed America at the halfway
milestone of our national life. Gould
"any nation, so conceived and SC
dedicated, long endure? ?" The great
test then was one of survival.
Time has given the answer. The
Republic has survived. More! 1t is
now the greatest and most power
full of all the nations of the earth.
That is the verdict of mankind,
expressed in many tongues.
The American flag is recognized
Throughout the world as emblematic
of a good land and great people.
1t flouts the ancient theory that
freedom and security are incom-
patible.
1t heralds the great truth that
men may be secure in their lives
and hopes and opportunities with
out sacrificing their liberties. It's
great example is irresistible. 1t is
an emblem of national and inter
national morality, great guiding
signal on the road of human pro-
gress.
Flag Is Prayer And Promise
The American flag is, in pur-
pose and effect, a prayer to God
and promise to mankind. We, of
America, should know that better
than all others. But do We?
Under the pressure of problems
of the moment, we neglect the great
possibilities of the future. The cry
for freedom is now heard in every
land. What is freedom? 1t is the
opposite of slavery. Both terms re-
late to a condition of the person.
The freedom of the individual
from enforced labor in the service
of others is the basic freedom from
which all other liberties flow and
without which they are of no avail.
The American flag represents the
nation that has inscribed a posi-
tive declaration Of that basic free
dom in its national constitution,
not subject to legal suspension or
by governmental Off
cials of any sort.
Involuntary seryitude is forbid
den. 1t follows, therefore, that the
conditions of labor must be such
as to engender willing service. That
is the basic constitutional public
policy in relation to the status of
labor in America.
Flag Is More Than Symbol
All labor law and practice must
eventually conform to the public
policy. The duty and power of Con-
gress to apply it throughout the
land are not restricted by state
lines or Jurisdictions.
We have yet to learn the tre-
implication for good in
that great Constitutional provision.
That is also true of most of our
educational leaders. They, too, must
learn, so that they may teach.
The American flag, therefore, is
more than the symbol of a great
nation and a free people. Its folds
kiss the breezes of heaven as a
sign Of hope and promise and good
will to all men, Notwithstanding
he grim needs of war.
Let us be- careful lest, i'm our
to raise our colors over
he camps Of a defeated enemy,
Ne do not lower the precious STAN
lard over our own heads.
The American flag surely is
worthy Of the answering loyalty
md deepest reverence of all Ameri-
ans, young and old alike.
All should strive to know its

Truman Sets Stage
For An Expose Of
Congress Record

Washington (LPA)-The special
session of Congress that will con-
vene July 26 could finish all the
work President Truman has laid
out for it in Is days. That's what
Truman said when he announced,
in the acceptance speech which eli
NAKED the Democratic nominating
convention last week, that he was
calling Congress back.
/ Whether or not the members of
Congress-disgruntled at the idea
of returning to the hot and sticky
national capital to deal with equally
hot issues-will sit on their hands
and refuse to act is another ques-
ton.
All members of the House are
facing election campaigns between
now and November, and one-third
of the Senators also face the end
of their terms of office.
President Truman has challenged
the Republican majority to "pass
laws halting rising prices and to
meet the housing crisis which they
say they are for in their platform. !"
The Taft -Ellender- Wagner hous-
ing bill is tied up in the House
Rules Committee, which must clear
| it before it can reach the floor. The
bill-principles of which are approx
ed in the COP and Democratic
platform-also can reach the floor
by way of a discharge petition.
Rep. Jacob Javits (R., N. W and
Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas d.,
Calif.) both have been working to
obtain the required 218 signatures,
and claim they already have about
70 percent of that number. The
Senate has approved the bill.
If there's quick action by local
union, civic, and veterans groups,
to impress on members of the
House the vital Importance of pass
ing the housing bill, it stands the
best chance of passage out of all
the measures on President Tru-
mans must" list.
President Truman is expected in
his message to the special session
to indicate what he wants in the
way of claws to halt rising prices"
Neither the Republican nor the
Democratic platform spells out any
specific legislation approach to the
price question.
Here are the other vital measures
listed by Truman:
IA national health program.
Hearings on a health insurance bill
have been held in the Senate. No
House action.
2-Civil rights legislation. The
House has passed the anti-poll tax
bill. The Senate has before it the
anti-poll tax bill, the anti-lynching |
bill, and a permanent FEPC bill.
3-Increase in the minimum
wage. Both Senate and House La
Dor Committee have held subcom-
mittee hearings, but have taken no
further action.
4-Extension of social security |
coverage and increased benefits.
House and Senate committees have /
held hearings, but have taken no \
further action. On the other hand,
Congress did approve bills remov-
ing 100000 people from social Sc
curity.
5-Funds for public power and
cheap electricity projects. Congress
refused to provide funds for a
vitally needed steam plant for the
Tennessee Valley Authority. The
power activities of the Interior
Dept were drastically curtailed
thru cuts. These could be restored
by supplemental appropriation.
6-"An adequate and decent law
for displaced persons in place of
his anti Semitic, anti-Catholic law
which this 80th Congress passed"
as Truman put the issue to the con-
yapt;op
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-07-22

cally that labor is not fully happy
because the section of the plat
form seeking the repeal of the
Taft Hartley act seems to be ton
gue-in-cheek expression rather than
a genuine desire to correct an evil
imposed upon the labor-movement
by the Republican party. Labor
feels that way because the last two
lines in the section dealing with
the repeal of TIL seem to be
taken from the Mundt bill when
they seek to outlaw Communist ac-
tivities in the labor movement. La
bor's position is that they're will
ing and able to clean their own
house and rejects the implied threat
that government should have to do
so."

complete dress outfit. Wearing basic
shirt and panties, she has an
accompanying packaged wardrobe
which includes a lace trimmed or
candle dress and matching bonnet,
slip, socks and shoes. The life size,

full dressed in real toddler's clothes,
including white baby shoes.

woodwork to furniture, draperies,
rugs, Venetian blinds. mems cloth

1t is said you just wipe away the
dirt! The product can be used over
and over and it is claimed that it
won't burn or explode. It will re-
move spots or overall soil on .furni-
ture and 1t will clean veloufs and
chintz. Just lay the draperies on the
ironing board and gently wipe away
the soil. You may also clean gabar-
dine shoes with this cleaner.
Readers of the Clearing House
have written in frequently for a
method or product for removing
grease and crayon from wallpaper.
Well, here is product that, though
it will not remove such spots, will
certainly protect the wallpaper from
spattering grease and you'll find it
especially marvellous If you have
youngsters who love to draw all
over the walls. The new coating
seals the surface as if you had
plated it with invisible glass. Once
you've applied two coats, every
thing from grease to lipstick and
can be removed with a
damp cloth. Apply the product
with a soft cloth, allow approx
mately 20 minutes to dry, then buff
gently and apply second coat. It
is invisible! OF course, as men
toned above, the liquid will not
remove stains or marks made on
the wallpaper before the applica-
ton, but will keep future ones away.

RAIN-SPOTTED DRESS.
QUERY?

From H. M. M, WaShington.)
For Mrs. r. j. F.: Suggest, II it is
impossible to remove the rain spots
from the taffeta dress, you might
cut off about inches at the bottom
of the skirt and put on 6-inch
band of darker green velvet and
then use some of the velvet for
collar and cuffs or a bow or some
other trimming on the jacket.

The fact that calcium is now the
nutrient most lacking in the Amer
lean diet was brought home to the
food editors at the recent confer
ence held In New York by Ruth
Woods. nutritionist for one of the
country's leading dairy companies.
Recent work done by the National
Research Council shows that a
healthy adult needs at least gram
Of calcium daily instead of $40
gram, which was previously con-
sidered the minimum requirement
Every one knows that the principal
source of calcium Is dairy products
But what does this mineral do
that makes it so important in our
diets7 Calcium has long been con-
sidered q major essential In chill
dren's diets because of its tmpor-
tance In building bones and teeth
However, 1t doesn't mean that when
our growing days are over we no
longer need a substantial intake
of calcium. We dol There Is a
constant physical loss of calcium
from the body which needs replace
ment daily. Moreover, when rela-
lively generous amounts are stored
in the body it is insurance against
the time of special need. Broken

nancy and lactation. Miss Woods
passed out a chart to the editors
showing the relative amounts of
various foods needed to yield a
gram of calcium. 1t requires $40

or 20 pounds of white potatoes.

A trip later in the day through
a cracker and biscuit bakery. the
largest under one roof in the world,
at Long Island City was well worth
the protests of our aching feet.
I've always wanted to know how
crackers were made. and now I do!
We followed the process from the
time the dough was set until the
crispy crackers rolled from the ovens
on an endless steel band, hence to
the machines where they are ar
ranged in orderly rows for swift and
thorough packaging. No baking
pans are used in this bakery. The
cut-out cookies and crackers are
conveyed directly on steel bands
into and through the ovens. The
ovens are the longest in the world,
and divided into sections. Each
section is controlled individually for
temperature according to the type
of goods being baked. For example,
higher heat Is used for crackers
than for the sweet cookies, for the
baking time is shorter. Every one
was fascinated In watching the ma
chimes that do the icing jobs, also
the ones that make the sandwich
type cookie. Back of all the opera
tions we witnessed is the general
chemical laboratory with its scien-

At still another nutrition meeting
this same morning, DR.. Charles Glen
King. scientific director of the Nu-

point that food habits have a sig

dent that malnutrition Is a major
factor in their origin and source.
According to present data chronic

among the first 10 causes of death
in the United States and account
for 60 per cent Of the total. In his
talk he brought out that children
born today have a life expectancy of
about 18 years beyond the age that
could be claimed for their grand
parents. Good nutrition can make
a contribution to those added 18
years, being years Of vigorous living,

1t has always been difficult for
me to understand how people can
be bored because there have always
been 50 many things I wanted to
do for which I could find no time.

bored you can be old at 20 and if
you are eagerly interested in the
life about you, you will be young
at 10. No one can measure the
impact of mind and heart on health
and beauty!
Perhaps these are a few of the
things which lead to boredom: Liv-
ing in a rut, doing the same things
over and over again with no new
activities or interests added, lack of
vitalized interests or goals, lack OF
imagination, the age bugbear, self
consciousness, poor health, living
only through family, with no in
dividual tastes or interests de-
veloped, failure to translate native
ability and experience into life about
one. The whole thing counts up
to loss of self as an individual, and
inertia in guiding ones individual

There's no excuse for the glove
lessness that is so rampant here in
Washington. Even finely dressed
women are guilty Of either wearing
the wrong gloves with their outfits
or, still worse, Of not wearing any
gloves at all.
There's no accounting for this sad
fact because every well-d dressed
woman knows that a costume with
out the proper gloves is not really

and pinch Of salt.
