Political Advice

Here's the advice Wendell Phillips, the great American
orator and reformer had for working to how they
should act politically:
If you want power in this country if you want to make
yourselves felt if you do want your children to wait
long years before they have the bread the table they
ought to have the leisure their lives they ought to have
the opportunities in life they ought to have if you don't
want to wait yOurseves-wrte your banner, that
every political trimmer read it, that every politician

forege If you launch the of at labor
we never forget if there division Congress- and you
throw your in the wrong SCALE forget You
may go down your knees, and say sorry did the
act and will say 1T will avail you in heaven but this
side of the grave never So that man. in taking up the
labor question: will know he is dealing with hair-trgger
pistol and will say 81 am to be true to justice and to
otherwise am a dead duck"

Do | Have To Join "A Union?

No, of not No more than you have to vote in
elections. But the kind of person who wants to
get ahead
And if you understand that to get ahead YOU and your
fellow workers rules and standards that give you
fair chance and fair share in the wealth helping
to create
Then you will want to shoulder your share of response
bity and take part in the work of your union.
You will not want to stay ON the outside, expecting to
benefit from organization you do not help to sustain.

London .Par|ey Begins
Forming Free World
Labor Federation
BY the Associoied Press

LONDON, Nov. %. Trade
union leaders of SIS lands outside
the Russian sphere of influence
started today on creation of a
free world" international labor
confederation.
H. L. Bullock. chairman of the
General Council of the British
Trade Union Congress. in a well
coming address to $50 delegates,
sounded keynote with the state
ment:
Forced labor anywhere lis a
menace to free labor everywhere. :"
The declaration was applauded
by the large American delegation,
and by representatives of trade
union bodies in Europe, North
and South America and Asia.
Mr.. Bullock recalled that in the
same hall, the council room of
the London County Council, the
World Federation of Trade Unions
was formed in 1945, with Russian
delegates cooperating in what
promised to be worldwide or
ganization of labor unions.
The union fell under the domi-
nation of communistic elements
which, it was charged in Western
lands, made it a Russian political
instrument.
AFL and CIO Represented.
Trade union movements of
many on-Communist countries,
including Britain, France and the
United States, broke away from it
a year ago and trade unionists of
other countries refused to join.
Both the AFL and CIO sent
delegates to today's conference.
The United Mine Workers also
sent a delegate.
Many delegations were saying
the conferees' goal is to create q
world group based on freedom
from political influences. This
will not be easy, Mr.. Bullock told
the organization meeting.
I'VE must not make the mistake
of trying to comprehend in a new
world confederation contradictory
and irreconcilable objects and
aims" he said, 1T may be diff
cult at times to exclude political
controversies or to engage in ma
tional politics.
Mr.. Bullock asserted that free
trade unions. despite unpleasant
experiences in the WITH, were
still confident that they could af-
filiate workers of various races,
nationalities and political beliefs

To Mrs. r. A. G.: Your letter
interested me, as I have taken up
flower raising these last seven or
eight years for a hobby and it
gives me enjoyment. I used to
spend quite a little money on top
soil, but found that in the same
block where I live near the woods
are real old oak trees with Won
derful black soil underneath, so I
have dug a number of bushels and
sprinkled little lime on top of
it, about 2 cups to every square
yard, and my flowers are worth
looking at in their season. I wish
knew some way I could join
some garden club and know more
about flowers. If some one knows,
please let me know.
bought 100 narcissus bulbs two
years ago and wonder why I have
only had about a dozen of them
blooming every year. I had about
81 different kinds of flowers in my
yard last year and hope to have
more this year. I hope you will
have good luck with your garden.
Last year I cut a small branch off
of my forsythia bush and watered
it every day for about one month
and this year it is blooming. That
method also works with roses, hy-
drangeas and pussy willows and

Happy the Bride ,

as the silver to grace Our brides
table. The design for this pat
tern was inspired by the majestic
beauty of Melrose plantation at
historic Natchez, Miss. The flow
ing lines and soft curves Of the
silver harmonizes with the charm
and elegance of the other ap-
pointments.
Georgian silver candelabra.
Stuart English crystal, and a low
bowl of white snapdragons. carna-
tions and lilies Of the valley have
been used TO complete the setting
A finishing touch to the table are
the aristocratic. plain white place
cards, each tied with a tiny white
satin bow and tucked beneath
the bow are two wee, white plastic
wedding bells.
For the brides tea table. the
pattern of the demitasse cups and
the coffee spoons is the same as
the one used on the large formal
table. The tea cloth is a hand
embroidered Madeira cloth made
of permanent finish organdy with
matching napkins of linen with
hand-embroidered corners. Bread
and butter plates are used with
the tea service to hold small
sandwiches or cakes. And notice
the clever detachable handle that
is used on the regular dinner
plate to convert it into a cake
plate, as shown in the inset. The
handle Is easily slipped of and
on any plate you may wish to
use. The handles, I'm told. come
in various sizes to fit different
size plates. A clear glass ivy ring
holds the attractive flower ar
rangement which is just the right
size for a small tea table.
The china, linen and crystal I
have described are available at
local F street store. The pattern
is only one of many you will find
on display in the china depart
ment. Whether you are going to
invest in new china or not, you
will thoroughly enjoy a couple of
hours spent just browsing around
admiring the lovely table settings
and the floral arrangements.
