BY JACK PARK

Now that the marshal strains of
Is bands are no longer a distant
echo and the Screeching sirens
have ceased ringing in our ears,
many high compliments have been
paid the committee in charge of
the successful convention of the
Northwestern Ohio Volunteer
Firemen's Association. The News
today garnered two interesting
official facts concerning that gala
gathering in Port Clinton.
First, it was the longest par
ade ever staged in the 76 years
of the Association, and secondly,
the four-mile parade was witness
sed by more than $4,000 and less
than $4,000 persons.
How do we know these things?
The Association hired what is
known as a parade and crowd
estimator from Columbus, and
these are the facts he left behind,
for use mainly, we suppose by
the Associations historian, John
w. Fisher, of Columbus, and Jack
Riddle, local secretary. How that
many people disappeared SO
quickly Wednesday night, the eX-
pert was unable to say.
The carnival business is not up
to par here, a veteran of the out
fit, Sam Robinson told us. He
could not explain why but show
ed little concern about it, re-
marking, "Well make it up far
ther north! The carnival is
heading north, will make a half
dozen stops in Michigan, and
wind up the season in Canada.
Dave Bushman, public relations
director for Standard Products
Co., who works out of the Cleve-
land office, was in town Wednes-
day and dropped the word to us
that there is going to be big
evolution in the Port Clinton
plant its sort of the hush-hush
stage right now, but really big
things are about to transpire in
that bustling plant on Maple
Street, and what's good for pro
gressive industry like Standard,
is good for a village, about to
take the evolution into bonafide
city.

Blueprints for the SPACE daily

conducted a successful daily paper
enterprise on a cooperative basis in
Pittsburgh last year, when unions
were locked out in a labor dispute.
Savings from the Pittsburgh publica-
ton effort will be used as the "seed
bed' for financing the new paper,
according to Sam Eubanks, American
Newspaper Guild official on leave
to get the paper launched. Publica-
ton is expected early in 1852.
Eubanks said the newspaper will
not be for general circulation, but
will be designed to get daily news COW
erage of national and other events
important to unions and the gen.
eral welfare, into the hands of I'M
ion officials. Plans call for a Mon
day through Friday paper, without
advertising, costing $40 year. Stock

The death of Bruce Stenmetz, Monday August 6, has
taken from the ranks of labor Montana of the most
able leaders of labor in the states history.
Not only was Bruce Stenmetz cohesive force who,
during almost of years President of Cascade
County Trades Labor Assembly, kept the various seq
mens of Great Falls labor working smoothly together,
but he was prodigious worker in other fields.
Few in number the men who possess as conpre-
henslve knowledge of unemployment compensation
Mr. Steinmetz amassed as President of the Unempoy
ment Compensation Commission Advisory Council over
the past decade He knew the field thoroughly and
constant devotion to improving this most important
iaL legislation.
AS member of the state Public Welfare Board since
1919 he evnced the keen desire learn and be of
service to those less fortunate of citizenry.
So far Great Falls properis concerned his biggest
accomplishment may we'll be the famed Labor Day cele-
braton put by the Assembly, the annual of
which in small part due to the drive and organ-
rational ability of Mr. Stenmetz.
Montana has lost valued citizen in his passing.

D'EWART ACCUSED OF
VOTE 'DUCKING"

Criticizing Cong: Wesley A. D.
Ewart for allegedly "ducking" voting
on the highly important "Tidelands'
oil bill (pg. 9417, July 80, Cong.
Rec.), Willard Fraser, D'Ewart's OPP
ponent in the 1913 general election,
recently stated that:
"The people of Montana are de-
serving of a congressman who has
the courage of his convictions, and is
willing to stand up and be counted"
Continuing, Fraser who was in
Washington at the time the vote was
taken on the "Tideland" bill, pointed
out:
"D'Ewart was in the capital and
saw fit to cast his vote for the badly
emasculated Price Control Law
(Which was voted on the same after
noon as the oil measured. He APP
parently decided that one vote
against the people was all he dared
cast in single afternoon, although
he had been consistently voting with
the group that was been attempting
to push the 'Tideland' measure over
in spite of Supreme Court and Pres
dental vetoes in the past"
Concluding his statement, Fraser
Questioned: "Can it be that Cong. |
0'Ewart is more worried about the |
1852 elections than he is, in doing |
lis duty during the present con-
sress?"

He said he would have vetoed the

Many observers here agreed with
the President ahat "the initiation
control provisions of the act are
gravely deficient" Several members
of Congress have indicated they will
introduce legislation to correct these
deficiencies. The bill bans rollbacks
on meat and prohibits slaughter
ing quotas, inviting a black market.
Sources also point out that the
law makes impossible effective en-
forcement of the few price control
powers which the law does permit.
The OPS would be denied sufficient
power to stop black market operat-
ors or punish wilful violators of price
regulations. There is no provision

Fair Association Calls in Sl,305 in Sleek Issued in 1896

Probably few of the public spirited citizens who subscribed for preferred stock in the Mata- nuska Valley Fair Association back in 1896 ever expected to get their money back. Everyone knew the Fair would be a non-profit venture, and that ii would take years before if could be expected to operate in the black.
 This year, IS years later, these
 1 individuals whose combined
 Jtal of Sl.305 in stock purchases made the Fair possible. are get ting their money back. Not only are they getting their money, but also the rich satisfaction that comes from underwriting a com munity venture that has devel- oped through the years into an institution they may well be proud of. That the present sue cessful Fair is due to the efforts they put forth in the early days, they can be we'll assured.
 ~ With the Fair getting bigger and better thru the years, enough money was realized from the 1851 Fair to reimburse these original stockholders. This week the Fair Association is publishing rollcall of the 69 individuals, asking them to turn in their stock for cash. Many of them are still living here in the Valley. Number l on the list is Don Irwin; Number 2 is Ralph Horton; and M. D. Snod- grass is third on the list. Others whe advanced money as evidence of their faith in the Fair have died during the past Is years, and for still others, present Wherea- bouts are unknown. Anyone who knows the correct address for any of those listed in the Fair Associa- ton advertisement is asked to get in touch with one of the Far Assn. board members so that re- imbursement can be made.
 The Fair Association Board Is taking this opportunity when money is available for the pur- pose, to make the Fair Assocla- ton a non-profit organization in compliance with Territorial law and the Federal internal revenue regulations. To do this it IS ne- cessary to call in all preferred stocks for payment.
