One of the special things in
this organization is the coope-
rative spirit and love we have
for each other. This isn't often
found in other circles, but we
know where there is unity
there is strength. We notice
that Bright Morning Star has
raised the highest amount of

would rather be a doorkeeper
in the house of God than dwell
in the Temple of the wicked"
We cannot serve God without
serving each other. We sin
cerely feel that the great work
in which we are engaged is
of a high calling. We are work
ing for a better tomorrow. In
being servant, simply means
to give service voluntarily,
which isn't always an easy
task. Often theer are many
obstacles in the path of ser
want of God, but He is always
ready. to lend us a helping
hand, which enables us to
overcome them. While in or
bit this year there were times
for rejoicing and also occa-
sions for sharing the grief of
others.
God has been good to us, yet
He has seen fit to move some
from these earthly houses of
clay to that eternal home in
Heaven. We began our ser.
vices by giving aid to the An.
nual Polio Drive. Our many
sick and shut-ins have been
shown in many ways that they
were not forgotten. Our poor
saints offerings are used for
some of the less fortunate chill
dren. We were also able to
contribute to the Temple High
Band Uniforms drive. These
things could not have been &C

Consumers in the IVA service

Average annual use of electricity

THE PEOPLES VOICE
Who Owns Stock
And How Much?

4 p 70 of AAfnfaef-iean families now
own publicly traded common stock
compared to 1870 in 1866 and less
than SO in 1862.
There has been "no substantial
change" in concentration of stock
ownership by dollar value in upper
income families since 1855.
1850 of families surveyed fell
in the under $4,000 income bracket.
Only SO of these families own stock.
Their holdings total only 1910 of the
dollar value Of all stock.
Over half of the 4.53o of fami-
lies in the $4,000 and over bracket
hold stock-and their holdings total
1920 of the dollar value of all stock.
Over one-third of the 1919 of
the families in the 0,OOO-$15, 900
category hold stock-value, 1920 of
total dollar value. The $4,000 and
over income groups thus own $3.50
of all common stock by dollar value.
The above figures are from a re-
port recently issued by the University
of Michigan Survey Research Center.
The report was based on interviews
with representative sample of 4,773
families between November, 1859 and
February, 1860.
Conclusion: While stock ownership
has broadened in recent years, it is
still highly concentrated in upper in
come families despite the claims by
private power companies and other
pig business groups that every Tom,
Dick and Harry is stakeholder and
,wns American companies. AS Prof. |

AH-O0 Urges Nationwide
Boycott of Sears Roebuck Co.

All members of organized
labor and their friends are be-
ing urged by the AFL-CIO to
boycott Sears, Roebuck stores
until management ceases to
interfere with the self-organi-
cation of employees and until
| it demonstrates good-faith &C
ceptance of union security
clauses in it's contracts"
The drastic action proposed by the
national labor federation came about
at the summer meeting of the 90
member AFL-CIO executive council
held in Chicago last week.
In reviewing the increasingly anti
union attitude of the nationwide mail
order firm, the council took particu-
lar note of the recent dismissal of
262 union employees by the COM
pany's San Francisco outlet because
of their refusal 10 cross picket line
set up by the Machinists.
The councils statement asking
Americans not to patronize Sears
until such time as the company "dem-
onstrates good-faith", follows:
"The trade union movement is be-
coming increasingly concerned over
the union-busting methods deliber-
ately employed by one of the ma
tion's largest merchandising chains,
Sears, Roebuck & Company.
"This is the outlet that put the
notorious Nathan Shefferman into |
business. When Shefferman's illegal
anti-unon activities were exposed by |
the Mcclellan Committee, Sears pub
licly apologized and pledged it would |
never again resort to such tactics. I
Yet today it has intensified it's ag-
gressive war against unions ON a
nationwide basis.
ga specific case in point is the
Sears store in San Francisco where
262 union members were summarily
fired after they declined to cross
,icket lines set up by the information
Il Association of Machinists. These
who belong to the Retail
Clerks, Building Service Employees,
office Workers and the Building
Trades, had every right under their
ontracts to respect the picket lines
# a sister union. II
GAS another example, Sears, Roe
uck in st. Louis tried to force
roup of employees who were mem
ers of the international Brotherhood
Electrical Workers to give up
heir jobs and transfer their employ
lent to service company. When the
7orkers refused and went on strike,
ears fired them and replaced them
18th strike-breakers.

Health Care for Aged:
A Right or Subsidy?

| for many of them believe health care
for older people will be potent issue
in the November elections.
Many of them would like to find
some compromise to the basic ques-
ton: Will old people get health care
as a matter of right or because they're
poor? So far, however, they've found
none.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee approved minimum state-fed-
eral payments for older people who're
too poor to pay their own health bills.
The House Rules Committee let this
bill come to the floor under a no
amendment, take-it- or-leave-it rule.
Under this rule, congressman like
Anne Forand (D-R.I.), who want
working people to make regular So
cial security contributions to prepay
their health care after they retire,
had to vote for no program at all or
the federal-state grants. The bill
passed 381 to 3d.
The Senate Finance Committee
then took look at the House bill and,
though amending it somewhat, ap-
proved the principle of federal-state
grants for older people who're too
poor to pay for their own drugs, doc
tor, or hospital room.
Unlike the House, senators will have
a chance to amend the committee bill.
Those who want to use the social
security system to prepay the health
costs of retired years put their trust
in this process.
