In 1910 singer Nan Wynn
was steadily gaining fans as a
vocalist with Hal kemp's
dance band. Then came the
untimely death Of Kemp. and
Nan was no longer working.
She decided to try for a Aim
career, and Hollywood did
recognize her vocal talents.
Whenever the studios had a
non-singing female star per-
forming in a musical, Mans
voice was dubbed onto the
sound track. One Of her most
notable jobs was the ghost
singing she did for Rita Hay
worth. Suddenly Nan was
stricken with a facial tumor,
forcing her to give up her
singing career.
Now, after some years. it

once again smiling on Nan
Wynn, for she has at last
regained her health, and Just

All Is Not Well

CTRANGE as it may sound, in this So
- called "enlightened day and age" en-
ployment offices of many companies refuse
to accept and consider the referral of per-
sons with foreign-sounding names.
This is especially true of white-collar
supervisory and technical jobs, positions
which evidently are open only to those in
the "20Ofc American" bracket
Here are only two of the many cases
involving downright discrimination.
Recently according to the Pittsburgh
Fair Employment Practices Commission, a
man whose parents came from a middle
European country said after he graduated
from college and tried to get job of his
choice using his family name that he had
great difficulty.
After changing it to, say, Smith," life
became wonderful No more questions and
no further difficulty of any sort. He has
been able ever since to live normal life as
"red-blooded American Nothing really
to it = if you know how!
The New York State Commission
Against Discrimination reports a case
where a man of Italian ancestry was ad-
vised by personnel manager to change his
name to Richards" and he would employ
him. He was qualified and employed under
the assumed name. Again, nothing to it.
But this man later changed his mind
and returned to the use of his correct name
For this he was promptly fired.
Changing of names most certainly indi-
Gates that not all is we'll in land which
owes an unpayable debt of gratitude to
millions of foreign born" dead and living,
men and women of every race, creed and
color who made America what it is today.
Companies which resort to this rotten
practice aren't fit to operate in these United
States. They are an insult to free enterprise
and disgrace to democracy.
If they aren't ''un-American,' then what
in the name of heaven is?

Grim Picture

ELSEWHERE on this page we are pub
= fishing picture in connection with the
1855 March of Dimes Campaign.
1T isn't very pretty picture, but there
are times when newspaper editors must
exploit human misery in order to call at
tention to the merits of drive for worthy
purpose. This, then, is one of those times -
one OF those pictures.
The picture is that of little William Jo-
seph Moltz, Ill = 42nd Street, Lawrence
vile District, Pittsburgh, a youngster who,
but for the grace of God, could be your
very own offspring.
The son of Croat parents, Billy, as we
prefer to call him, was born on October IA,
1949. Evidently he was born to bear his
cross very early in life, for on September
%, 1852, Billy was admitted to Municipal
Hospital, Pittsburgh, a victim of polio.
He was transferred in June of 1853 to
the D. T. Watson Home Leetsdale, Pa,
where he is still undergoing treatment He
is affected in both arms, both legs and
breathing muscles. And he still needs a
rocking bed to ease his long suffering.
X
We have never met little William Joseph
Moltz, but we do know that it is up to us
to help him and other polio victims. We
can't shut our eyes to that fact
No matter what your troubles, be they
large or small, they can't begin to compare
with those borne by families visited by
polio. That is why the March of Dimes is
important, why we should support it to the
hilt today. Tomorrow it could be us.

System Well Kept Secret

Seriously, "The Old Far
mer's Almanac" has been fa-
nous for accurately calling
The turn numerous times on
sunshine and storms months
in advance of it's predictions.
It has outscored on oc-
casions the United States
Weather Bureau in weather
prediction accuracy percent

weather-prediction system is
a secret" one which it's pub
fishers have kept faithfully
for 1853 years, or since 1892.
1t is even claimed that
Abraham Lincoln once won a
murder case, in which he ap-
peared as a lawyer, by quot
ing the Almanac as to the
whereabouts of the moon on
a particular night.
Wouldn't Be Without 1t
The Almanac is a little book
with an antique cover and rife
with antique woodcuts of the
kind of rip snortin' winters
the old folks like to brag
about.
About two or so decades
ago the then publishers of the
Almanac decided to modern
ize" it, but it's millions of de-
votees would have no truck
with the newsfangled version
and circulation dropped off
something awful.
Then in 1910 the present
publisher, Robert Sagendorph,
took things over. He moved
the editorial offices to the
tiny town of Dublin, New
Hampshire, dug up a lot of
the old type-faces, resumed
publication of anecdotes and
pleasantries" so long popular,
and revived the Almanac's
super-secret weather-predic-
ton system.
It's a mighty interesting
book, worth ten times the
price of 25 cents. We wouldn't
think of starting off a new
year without first thumbing
through its pages!

In Self Defense

\ IANY of the troubles of this world
wi would disappear as the mist before the
morning sun if men could only know in ad
vance when sickness or other misfortunes
were due to pay them visit.
The trouble with this trouble is that
men have no way of knowing what the
morrow will bring. Which is probably for
the better, for it automatically eliminates
the bother of learning everything ahead Of
time and worrying about it long tefore its
turn comes to pass.
And yet there are ways to protect your
self against the unforeseen, ways to make
certain that help will indeed be there when
you need helping hand the most
Among the most modern of these ways
is the Croatian Fraternal Unions still rela-
lively new Income Defender Certificate,
which Sick Benefit Department Secretary
bro. John Ovcarich explains in interesting
detail beginning on Page of this issue.
Every working man and woman should
become acquainted with the broad protec-
ton this Certificate offers. There is moth
ing better on the insurance market - not
in our estimation.
Yet while all will agree that it is some
thing worthwhile, some will argue that the
cost is too high and beyond the means of
the average working man or woman.
But is it really too steep price to pay
monthly for complete protection?
Or isn't If chean a nv nrino uhon s;cl
ness parts you from your pay envelope and
you have at least its protection to tide you
over until the sun shines again?

Can Fraterna|ism And Politics Mix?

Why do people battle so
furiously in politics? Well,
under our Constitution they
have the privilege and duty
to select public officers and
decide the policies of govern
ment. This is America!
Then there is the spirit of
contest, and in a close election
that is exciting. Also the
glorious feeling of battling
for a cause.
I had that feeling during
my brief experience in politics.
I worked hard and the Party
rewarded me with a nomina-
ton on it's ticket. This district
normally voted $4,000 for my
Party and 10000 for the op-
position ticket. When I ran
