Lorain, o.. April 1T seems
as though there quite a few
grandparents in Lorain lately.
One proud pair is Mr.. and Mrs
Christ Goohs. Not only their two
sons, Christ and Albert, but alsC
their nephew Bill Gross had sons
in the month OF March.
The other proud pair is Mr.

long ago their granddaughter
Shirley gave birth to little baby
boy. Then, it happened once a,
gain. On April |, Mr.. and Mrs
Walter Goohs became the proud
parents Of a baby boy which they
named Robert Walter. Hmm, on

homestead, "a, April /--Our

that a fellow has to be a calamity
howle to be a reporter, especi-
ally when there is nothing but
bad news to report. The only
bright features of the meeting
were the acceptance oft wo new

CANTON ECHO
By Heck

Canton, o., April 7-Last Sat.
night at CLANCY High School the
Canton Bulldogs came in their
own, the T. S. J. A. championship,
by defeating the Monaco Blue De-
wills. My apologize for using the
Mountaineers, by a score OF SO to
80. Canton leading by a score OF
II to 6 at the end of the first quor-
ter blew it all in the second quar-
ter by an exhibition of bad pass
ing and all around poor basket
ball with the hall ending 22-2l
in Cantons favor. The second half
was much the same story as the
first quarter. The boys settled
down and really plaed good bas-
ketball as we knew they could il
they wanted to. ! guess these last
two games proved to a lot OF
people that we do not have a two
man team. When the stass are
bottled up we usually have some
one else who can come through.
Our congratulations go to the
boys for bringing home the bacon
for the second straight year, They
are truly champions Best Of luck
to the boys for next year when
they will have as good a team, if
not better, as they had this year.
The high scorer for the winners
,, was Marty Billie with q points
and for the losers Fermen Mas
sey with 10 points.

notify the Association Secretary
Immediately.
The officers would like to I'M
press upon everyone that r. S.
J. A. membership is not restrict
ed. Anyone who likes to sing,
whether he is active in a local
club or not, and whether or not
his club takes an active part in
the Chorus is welcome to ioin.
There are to many local clubs
that are not interested in and
fail to support this certain acti-
witty of the T. S. J. A., yet the
Chorus last year accounted for
more than half the association
profit for the year.
Singing is something tina,
everyone can do; it is not sitting
and watching ten or eighteen
people peform on basketball
court or softball field. 1t is some
thing that YOU can be a part
of, and when you're on the stage
you have the wonderful feeling
that you are part of something
truly great. OF course it takes
work; but nothing impressive
and inspiring in this world is
accomplished without great
thought and effort!
At present there are two nuc-
locus rehearsal points: at Yo.
under the direction OF Mr.. Ben
del and at West with Dir. Otto
Schmidt; both are young and
capable directors. Rehearsal
dates at Youngstown are printed
in the Volksblatt in advance.
Rehearsals are held at West
every Monday evening at $50
p. m. Those clubs in the Cleve-
land area East, Ldrain and
Canton - are urged to attend the
rehearsals at West the wei
come mat is out and you will
spend a most enjoyable evening.
The T. s.. ]. A.. songs will be
gone through first; then anyone
wishing to may also join the
Madrigal Chorus (whose men,
bership is not restricted toWest
Juniors) which will meet after
the T. S. ]. A. rehearsal.
A T. S. J. A. Chorus Concert
will be held in Youngstown on
May p. All Saxons are sincerely
urged to support TINS AFFAIR Dv
attending. Many protests were
heard when distandonment SEEM
ed near, now the Saxon people
can show us that they really want
us to continue.
Surprise! A banquet and dance
free to all Chorus members will
be held soon after the concert.
Let's get behind this affair
and make it 4 tremendous sue

weekly column for the Chicago

The daily paper announced that
German will feature "downto-
earth discussions of economic, poll
tical, and personality problems
confronting American life"
Previously, German restricted
his writing chiefly to his unions
paper, "The Butcher Workman"
and other union publications. Cor
man has also authored some TOO
songs-including the words and
music to two albums put out in the
past few years.
German said that he had editor
ial freedom to give his ideas on
unionism or any other subject.
Progressive thought is very rarely
voiced in Herald-American col
umns. Columnist German, appear
ing every Saturday, is one of the
first progressives to crack the wall.

Delegates Hear
Johnson, Fleming

st. Paul (LPA)-Defense Secre-
tary Louis Johnson told the AFL
convention here that some parts
ans of the navy, "in their campaign
of terror" against further unifica-
tion of the armed forces "have
reused false issues without the
substance of truth" He called alb
surd the charges that the Navy is
being prosecuted and reported pro-
gress on unification.
AS to Russia's reported possess
ion of the atom bomb, Johnson
said, "we have consistently refrain
ed from basing our policies on con-
tinued monopoly of the weapon"
He said he is confident that the
United States still holds the lead
in weapon production.
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming,
chairman of the Maritime Commits
sion, said "we would be in a very
bad way for troop Ships" in an
emergency, because our merchant
fleet has lost it's wartime mastery.
He gave west coast delegates the
good news that several million
dollars worth of ship repair would
be done in west coast shipyards.
He disclosed that orders are now
being placed for six passenger and
combination passenger-cargo YES
sells to be ready in two to three
years. One ship, he said, will carry,
almost as many passengers as the
Queen Mary or Queen Elizabeth.
