Feminine Keglers
Orqanize League

With their new president,
Jane Bond presiding, the Cha
don ladies' bowling league lined
up their teams and voted on
rules for the season, at a re-
cent meeting held at B & v
Recreation.
While Mary Ann Vinkovitch,
secretary, noted the minutes of
the meeting, she and Chardon's
other veteran bowlers well
coined new teams and individ-
ual bowlers.
Among the newer sponsors
for ladies is Chardon Auto
Parts, whose team captain is
Irene Opper.
With other motions made and
carried concerning starting time,
penalties, absenteeism, a vote
was taken and passed to join
the Ashtabula affiliation of
ABC rather than Cleveland's.
Tournament bowlers will find
it more convenient to compete
in local counties rather than to
have to travel long distances
to these events.
The ladies win bowl in two
shifts of six teams each at
z and 8 pm. every Friday
night.

Strengthening Free
Enterprise

The free enterprise system
has flourished and prospered in
America during these last 20
years as never before. This has
been made possible by the pur-
chasing power Of all our people
and we are determined that the
broad base Of our prosperity
shall be maintained.
Small and Independent Busi-
ness. Small and independent
business is the backbone Of
American free enterprise. Upon
its health depends the growth
of the economic system whose
competitive spirit has built this
Nations industrial strength and
provided it's workers and con-
sumers with an incomparably
high standard Of living.
Independent business is the
best offset to monopoly prac-
tices. The Governments role
is to insure that independent
business receives equally fair
treatment with its competitors.
Congress has established the
permanent Small Business Com
mittee of the Senate and the
Special Small Business Com
mittee Of the House, which have
continued to render great Serv-
ice to this important segment
of our economy. We favor con-
tinuance Of both these commit
tees with all the powers to in
vestigate and report conditions,
correct determinations and pro-
pose needed legislation.
We pledge ourselves to in
creased efforts to assure that
small business be given equal
opportunity to participate in
Government contracts, and that
a suitable proportion Of the
dollar volume Of defense con-
tracts be channeled into inde-
pendent small business. The
Small Defense Plants Admins
tration. which our party caused
to be established. should retain
its independent status and be
made a continuing agency.

Integrity in Government
Finances

We solemnly pledge the preser-
vation of the financial strength
Of the Government. We have
demonstrated our ability to
maintain and enhance the Ma
tion's financial strength. In the
six full fiscal years since vi
Day. our fiscal policy has pro-
duced a 81 billion budget sur
plus. We have reduced the pub
lie debt SIT billion from the
post war peak.
We have demonstrated our
ability to make fiscal policy
contribute in a positive way to
economic growth and the main
tenance Of high-level employ
ment. The policies which have
been followed have given us
the greatest prosperity in our
history. Sustained economic
expansion has provided the
funds necessary to finance our
defense and has still left our
people with record high con-
sumer incomes and business
with a record volume of invest
ment. Employment and per-
sonal incomes are at record lev
els. Never have Americans en-
joyed a higher standard OF liv-
ing and saved more for con-
tingencies and old age!
Federal Taxes. We believe
in fair and equitable taxation.
We oppose a Federal general
sales tax. We adhere to the
principle of ability to pay. We
have enacted an emergency ex-
cess-profits tax to prevent prof.
iteering from the defense pro-
gram and have vigorously at
tackled special-tax privileges.
Tax Reductions. In the fu-
ture, as in the past, we will hold
firm to policies consistent with
sound financing and continuing
economic progress. AS rapidly as
defense requirements permit, we
favor reducing taxes. especially
for people with lower incomes.
But we will not imperil our Ma
tion's security by making reck-
less promises to reduce taxes.
We deplore irresponsible asser-
tions that national security can
be achieved without paying for
it.
Closing Tax LoophOles. JUST
ice requires the elimination of
tax loopholes which favor
special groups. We pledge con-
tinued efforts to the elimina-
ton of remaining loopholes.
Government Expenditure. We
believe in keeping Government
expenditures to the lowest prac-
ticable level. The great bulk Of
our national budget consists Of
obligations incurred for defense
purposes. We pledge ourselves
to q vigilant review Of our ex-

Policies Hove Benefited
Nations Wage Eorners

Democratic labor policies have
rescued the wage earners in this
country from mass unemploy-
ment and from sweat shop slav-
cry at starvation wages. Under
our Democratic administrations,
decent hours, decent wages, and
decent working conditions have
become the rule rather than the
exception.
Self organization of labor
unions and collective bargain
ing, both of which are the key
stone TO labor management,
peace and prosperity, must be
encouraged, for the good Of all.
Unemployment is now less
than 3 per cent of the labor
force, compared with almost Is
per cent in 1882. Trade union
membership has reached total
of 16 million, which is more than
five times the total Of 1882.
The welfare Of all economic
and social groups in our society
has been promoted by the
sound, progressive and humane
policies of the Democratic
Party.
STRENGTHENING Democracy. We
are convinced that lasting pros
perity must be founded upon q
healthy democratic society re-
spectful of the rights of all peo-
pie.
Under Democratic Party
leadership more has been done
in the past 20 years to enhance
the sanctity of individual rights
than ever before in our history.
Racial and religious minorities
have progressed further, toward
real equality than during the
preceding $50 years.
Governmental services, demo-
cratically administered. have
