Two Xenians On
Ballot Tomorrow

We urge our Xenia readers to
go tothe polls tomorrow and vote
for the Negroes running for Of
flee. Vote for James T. Henry for
the city commission and Mary
Valentine for the school board.
Mr.. Henry is the non-partisan
candidate of the East End Civic
Club Of Xenia. If Mr.. Henry has
not been as vocal as he might
have wished, it is because of a
foolish provision in the city
c er forbidding campaign
speeches. But he has shown in
many public utterances that he
is for a progressive commission
and program.
Mrs. Valentine is long known as
a civic leader. She has led many
fights for equal rights for Negro
es in the Xenia area.

remain in a static state.
Here are someof the examina-
tons with the deadline for filing:

The salary range for fireman
is $237.5O to $262.5O a month
plus uniform allowance. vi
Presently in the fire department
there are one inspector and two
firemen. The two firemen were
added only as the result of agita-
ton onthe part Of Negro organi-
z~atoins, particularly the Urban
League and this newspaper. It has
been most difficult to awaken Ne
groes to the Importance of apply
ing for, and taking these examin-
atoms. They cannot forever keep
the doors of opportunity closed.
Slowly they are opening. But
they are not opening as many
whites would have you believe
thru the so-called "good will" of
employers and public officials as
much as thru the militant de.
mands of Negroes for what is

these and other examinations, in

Panel House Heating System
NAV RevoIutionize Industry

Is is difficult to imagine a we'll
heated house without a furnace
or boiler, and without heating
pipes or coils, radiators, fuel tanks
or coal bins: yet the new electric
glass panel heating system which
has been developed promises to
revolutionize the house heating
industry.
Some authorities express the
opinion that, If the low rates now
obtainable in some sections of the
country ever become generally
available, the electric panel sys-
tenn will be the most popular Of
all heating mediums.
The panel system consists mere
ly of glass panel beneath every
window where there is now a ra-
diator. It is hooked up to the Or
binary lighting circuit Of the
house and controlled by a switch.
It requires no special heavy cable
and no attention. Instead of heat
ing by virtue of a heavy. hot mass
of metal like the present radiators,
the electric panel radiates heat
rays which warm everything they
strike.
In ordinary heating plants
much of the initial cost is sunk in
the generating plant itself. coal
or oil-burner. and in the COM
plicated system of piping and
radiators.
Where forced warm air is used,
