POWER OF GETTING
TOGETHER

The recent Shriners Conven-
ton in our midst lay stress upon
the need of every Individual being
rooted into some kind of organiza-
ton. An individual is a leaf, and
should live and work with other
leaves of some kind of tree. A
leaf by and of itself is small
part of tree-organization. but
united with all other leaves of
its kind they build tree to shell
ter, protect, and feed. Individual
leaves come and 60 but the life
Of the tree goes on. Prince Hall,
the organizer of the Tree of
Masonry, perpetuated his memory
and is gratefully honored because
he had vision to get men together
in an organization. Uniting men
for one ennobling end is one kind
Of Immortality of the soul.
Here goes a story on organiza-
ton. Tom Lightfoot ran a typi-
cal country store located in the
mountainous portion of Tenn.
Tom came along with other farm
ers on a hot summer day in the
shade Of his grocery store chewed
his tobacco and discussed the
weather and crops, and COM
planned because Of the dry spell.
A visitor drove up, stopped his
machine and asked, rs the owner
OF yon rocky mountain living in
this village?p The mountain he
pointed to was mostly rock with
only shrub vegetation.
To Tom it was both an eyesore
and an obstruction cutting off the
scenery Of distant places. Tom
answered with his drawl, I'm
the one who holds the title, "
while studying all the time the
stranger and wondering what any
man in his right mind would want
with his rocky mound.
This visitor in straight forward
manner said. III you should want
to sell I'm interested in this noun
tain for speculative purposes"

EBONY WINDOWS
BY REV. c. L. MILLER

Tom said to himself, rs this
Yankee crazy? If he could take
it with him, I'd give it to hin"
But Tom hoping to get something
for nothing asked, What will you
give for what you want?"
Without hemming and having,
Mr.. Adam said, will you take
ten thousand dollars"
Deep down in Toms heart his
heart was saying, Yes, yes, yes,
yes. But being a horse trader he
thought to bargain and said, ''In-
crease it, a bit, Mr.. Adams, and
l may consider"
An agreement was finally made
to sell at $4,000, Tom all the
time saying down in his heart,
The old Reb in me is getting
his revenge for I'm going to out
smart this fresh Yankee. Hell
find no coal, no metal. And as for
those old rocks, nobody will give
six bits for the entire mountain
of EN-"
Back of Mr.. Adams was a pow
erful Portland Cement organiza-
ton who had analysed all stones
found on Toms mountain and
knew that these stones, collected
ground, and mixed furnished a
highly priced building material
Behind this specculator was sci
ence, capital, world markets, and
the know-how Of taking despised
stones and turning them into ser
vice and gold.
When Tom saw a somber noun
tain Of stone, some months later
become the proud poSsessor of a
modern factory, and a lovely viii
lage spring up almost overnight,
and when he heard the death
knell to his own rugged individu-
alism and lack of vision he
changed his opinion of the visitor
from the North and his pride and
arrogance and scorn Of organiza,
ton got a good thrashing.
Join some kind Of organization
The tree needs the leaves and
the leaves need the tree.

Bakers Defer Strike;
Talks Set for FRIDAY

Encouraged by a weeks post
ponement of q strike scheduled
for last midnight, Federal rnedi-
ators today arranged further con-
ferences for Friday on the dis
pute between the AFL bakers
union and the Continental Baking
Co.
The controversy centers on the
unions demand for company wide
bargaining for Continental plants
in SO cities. Government officials
feared the prospective strike might
spread from the $500 workers in
the affected plants to union mem
bers in other major chain bakeries.
Conciliator Clyde L. Mills, acting
for Cancellation Chief Cyrus S.
Ching. announced the union post
poned the strike at the request of
the Federal Mediation Service.
The mediation session on Friday
will start at 10:30 am. he said.
Washington plants of the Con-
tinental company are not directly
affected by the dispute. Local
118 of the bakers union voted to
follow its 50-year practice of
negotiating through the Washing
ton Employing Bakers Association
instead of going along with the
international unions drive for
induStry-wide bargaining.

Detective Chief Robert S. Bryant
said that William Cady, brother
in-law of Warning, and Miss Louise
Enos, his maid, would accompany
two detectives to New York for
the attempt to identify Pelkisson
as the Warning bandit.
Picture Has Been Identified.
Warning, a reputed gambler, was
away from his home in the 5000
block of Macomb street N. w.,
when three men pushed their way
in. They pistol whipped Cady and
bound him and the maid. Before
Pelkisson was arrested, Cady and
Miss Enos identified his picture
as one Of the robber trio.
Assistant District Attorney Ed
ward F. Breslin Of the Bronx, de-
scribed Pelkisson as a vicious
criminal" who "brutally and un-
necessarily assaults his victims"
Washington police also will
question him about other robberies
here, including a $25,000 haul
from a floating crap game last
November in which Max Rye-
bread) Shulman was said to have
lost $4,000.
Wanted for Two Robberies.
Two other men now held in
Pennsylvania have been identified
in both the Warning and crap
game holdups.
New York authorities want Pei
kisson for two Bronx apartment
robberies in 1948 and 1949. which
netted $1,000. In the light Of his
record as "two- time loser" there,
it appeared probable that New
York will have first claim on pros
ecuting him.
Pelkisson was said to have
gained entrance to the Bronx
apartments by representing him
self as messenger, a ruse similar
to that used to enter the War
ring home. Two other men have
been convicted in connection with
the Bronx holdups.

force, declared that the plan as
it now stands contains no specific
directives for reorganization to
