in this country, people say: What the hell! He made gag, let's laugh!' So they laugh! At what? You should ask! Sometimes a gag is so old that it appeared among the Hittites who were an aboriginal civilization in Soviet Armenia. But the illiterate bourgeoisie, dressed in minks and diamonds and who have wrung from the sweat of the toiling masses the dol lars to buy the tickets for the ban- quet, never read Hittite mythology so they do not know that the gag originated in Soviet Armenia. Amer jeans think everything is new. That is why they can laugh so easily. Nothing grave concerns them be- cause they are always sure some- thing new will show up, like the atom bomb which vishinsky really discovered.
 So, l went to a banquet of the warmongering exploiters Of the pro- letariat at the Waldorf This banquet had two causes, one was to give honor to journalist, radio joke teller, Harry Hershfield. The other cause was to get dollars for a private hospital called the Me- Cosker-H -Hershfield Cardiac Home.
 They have many enterprises like this in this country. It is caused by the Judiac-C Christian mysticism that the Hebrew God hlesses those who give charity. In the glorious land of the proletarian dictatorship, nobody gives charity, which is out- moded, like Christianity, capitalism and other pre-M -Marxian errors. By US, the wise Politburo sees to it that if a citizen is not Kulak or a Trotzkyist or a Titoist or a spy for the Marshall Plan Vest Imperialists, he gets what he should get as the peoples hero, J. Stalin, decides is good for him.
 Here it is different. So McCosker, and Irishman, and Hershfield, Jew, formed a partnership in char ity to provide a home for cardiac sick people to rest. Their friends each year give them dollars for this, too. The superstition of char ity is so strong with these people. that they don't mind giving dol lars for charity-also they can take it off their income tax. But they all so like a charity to have banquet where they can hear speeches. Then they give more money.
 At a banquet, separation is made between those who pay dol lars to get in and those who get in free. The latter category, they call Honored Guests and they put them on a place called dais where they are stuck for the evening.

SENTIMENTAL BANQUET

 Banquets are made for dollars. They sell tickets from $5 up to $100 plate, but nobody worries about the plate as the walters take it away. It is capitlistic cont radiction. The dollars go to pay for the dinner which is usually the same and without taste, cooked wholesale Sometimes the dollars pay for the speakers. All banquets must have speakers; it is an old custom.
 A speaker at a banquet starts with what in this country is called a gag This is a most peculiar con- tradiction because gag also IS something put in the mouth to stop person from speaking. So, the gag is to speak and not to speak. Can you imagine that?
 When the gag is spoken, every body is supposed to laugh. So, if you don't laugh, the speaker is dis appointed. Also disappointed is the committee which hired him. We'll,

HOW BIG is TOO BIG?

Antitrust attorneys have filed 4
suit against the A. and p. company
during the past week and the chain
store has decided to fight the suit
which they claim would mean higher
food prices for the public.
The company declares it must be
the theory of the antitrust lawyers
that people have no right to patronizc
a company, if their patronage will
make that company grow; and that
any big business must be destroyed
simply because it is big, and even if
the public gets hurt in the process.
We don't know all the ms and outs
of the problem but we wonder how
big is too big? And in connection we
wonder whether or not it is the gov
eminent that is getting too big.
We feel that the people should have
more than a passing interest in this
suit. 1t might be just one more activi-
ty in federal government that tends
to cut down private initiative and
throttle the private citizens-just an
ether step toward socialism or some
other "ism."
Competition has always been the
backbone of business in this country

Asks Students To
Watch at intersections
To The Editor.
Dear Sir.

To The Editor.
Dear Sir:
Have you ever stood on the corner
CT Third and Alder Streets in Oak
land any day in the week between
1870 a. m. and 1900 noon, and
noticed the way the students of the
High School come down the hill from
the High School? If you have you
will understand why | am taking this
means to appeal to the students and
TO the parents of the students to see
# there can be a stop to running down
the hill.
Students who do this running know
or should know that they are en-
dangering their lives when they go
rushing across the intersection with
out regard to which way the traffic
light is turned.
l have seen cars stop and people
who are walking on the sidewalk get
off into the street to keep from hit
ting them and being hit. Let's try to
he good sport about this and try to
refrain from running. Surely you are
rot in so big hurry that you can't
take time to be careful.

Chief of Police.
