The shop opens next week

by and who choose to go in to see

Tn-L Gets 43 New Members
At Pinning SerOice uesday

Impressive dignity was given
the "Pinning Service" for Tri-L,
girls organization at London High
School in the Sanctuary of the
London Presbyterian Church,
Tuesday evening by the simple,
but lovely decorations and the
manner in which members carried
out their duties.
Baskets of fall flowers graced
either side of the chancel while
cathedral candelabras with tall
white tapers were lighted by Don
ma Stainbrook and June Gibson,
just as the professional started
down the aisle to the strains of a
piano accompaniment played by
Carolyn Susie" Garrett.
In the professional were the 43
new members who received their
pins after a few weeks of "haZing"
during which time they caused
much laughter and provoked num-
erous remarks by the ludicrous
attire in which they paraded the
streets. The attire of Tuesday was
in striking contrast, the soft glow
from the flickering candles CIV
ing even more glamour to their
formal frockS in shades ranging
from pastel to higher tones.
AS a part of the decorations
great bows centered with clusters
of sweet peas and red carnations
were used on the pews to design
ate seating of guests and the
members.
With 43 initiates, mostly from
the sophomore class, and a, act
i've members previously on the
roster, the number surpasses any
previous membership of this or
ganization for some time.
Speaker of the evening was the
Reverend Frank L. Baldwin, pas
tor of the church, who took
Friendship" for his topic devel-
oping his talk along the lines of
what true friendship means in a
large group; and its value in
keeping working on harmonious
and even keel.
On the program and speaking
for Tri-L were, Connie King the
president; Carol Ann Bardon
activity chairman; Bunny Wood
vice president, who presented
Reverend Baldwin. Response for
the sophomores was given by
Charlene Cristee and vocal mum.

and Ruth Strine.
Following the occasional, mem.

Mary Del Tedesco of the high
school faculty, are advisors fol

The Protection Racket

Perhaps the oldest hoax, and
certainly the most vicious, is the
protection racket.
In ancient days ruffians oper-
ated the protection racket by
lying in wait for travellers, de
manding fantastic tribute as the
price Of security. Cities were in
vaded and the inhabitants forced
to surrender their property and
wealth TO pay for their protec-
ton.
The Conquerors proclaimed
themselves liberators while they
cnslaved the population. They
developed some legalistic mum
bo-jumbo about the divine right
of kings, or the paramount rights
Of bureaucrats. Such attempts to
subjugate the human race com
prise the bloodiest chapters Of
history
Some of this same evil genius
appears to be at work in Amer
lea. The protection racket has
been reborn under the glorified
name Of social security, but lit
orally thousands Of the unfort-
unate victims Of the present
scheme can testify to the fact
that the same old technics of
deceit and compulsion are still
in use,
These brutalities are being inn
posed upon our people under
the pretense that the law requir-
es 1t to enforce compliance. This
is not true. The real law of the
land - the Constitution - was
designed to protect us from such
practices. The 10th Amendment
makes this clear. Ii states:
The powers not delegated to
the United States by the Con
stitution, nor prohibited by it to
the states, are reserved to the
states respectively, or to the
people
Never, by act or inference.
have the American people dele
gated to anybody the right to
impose the protection racket in
any manner Social security.
therefore, defies the Constitution
as well as every concept of good
financial practice, but this seems
part of the scheme.
There is unmistakable evid-
ence that the machinery of social
security will ultimately destroy
our American freedom. Here is
how it works
Up to January /, 1854, neearly
S28 billion was taken, by force
| from the nations wage-earners
for the social security trust fund

was paid out to beneficiaries

YOUR
ELECTION
LAWS

Registration in Ohio is per-
manent and it is not necessary to
register before each election,
unless person has moved,
changed his name, or has failed
to vote at least once within the
past two calendar years.
Change of Name. If a person
has changed his or her name
(such as woman who married
since she registered), he or she
must register again.
Change Of Residence. If per-
son has moved, the change of
address must be recorded with
the Board of Elections. This may
be done by mail, and if the Board
of Elections is contacted, they
will furnish the proper form for
such change.
If person changes his name
or moves within forty days be-
fore the election (September %,
l954) such person may vote in
the precinct from which he NOV
ed at the November 2 election,
but ii will be necessary to regis.
ter in order to vote at the fol-
lowing elections.
Persons who are members OF
the armed forces of the u. S.
need not be registered, even if
their residence is in registration
territory. That is due to the fact
that Ohio has provided a simpli-
fled method of voting for mem
bers of the armed forces. How
ever, after person is discharged
from service, it will be necessary
to register in order to vote there
after except that if he is dis
charged after September %, 1854,
he may vote at the office of the
Board of Elections without being
registered if he makes applica-
ton by noon of October 80, 1854.
