FEAR SINISTER PURPOSE BEHIND WAVE OF STRIKES THERE IS, I believe, something more then a desire for more wages or shorter hourSkback of the wave of strikes that has swept across the nation, with more threatening. It is, a something created by the radical socialist leaders who direct the ac tivities <4 organized labor. It is, I believe, an effort on the part of such leaders to so cripple American busi ness, so retard American produc tion, that the government will find cause to take over the business of production and mercbajwising. It is, I believe, an effort directed from Moscow to Russianize America by destroying our American economic system and substituting for it the government-planned economy of to talitarian Russia. It is an effort to surreptitiously sabotage our Amer ican way of life. How extensive this wave of strikes has been is demonstrated by fig ures Lawrence Sullivan of Nation's Business News dug out of the records of the department of labor at Wash ington. oick id iia we nan a unai of CM strikes, involving 314,210 workers and representing a loss of 1,631,863 man daps of pro duction. After those advocating a government-planned economy had moved into Washington, with an expressed determination to make America over, we had, in 1933, 1,635 strikes involving 1,168,272 workers, with a pro duction loss of 16,872,128 man days. In 1941, our last peace time year, there were 4,288 strikes involving 2,362,620 work ers, with a loss of 23,047,556 man days of production. In 1945, with less than six months of peace, we had 4,750 strikes in volving 3,467,000 workers and a loss of production of 38,025,000 man days. For the first eight months of 1946, when we were striving to meet the terrific peacetime demand for commod ities, we had 3,125 strikes in volving 3,425,000 workers, with a production loss of 93,225,000 man days. The important figure in each case is the loss of man days of produc tion. It is that figure that deter mines the extent to which American business is being sabotaged; the ex tent to which our production is be ing curtailed. It is that curtailment that is the greater factor in creat ing inflation. To stop that inflation ary trend could be the government's excuse for taking over and operat ing the production and merchandis ing of the nation. I am convinced, and the figures provide evidence for the conviction, that Russian-directed Red labor leaders are deliberately providing the government an excuse for the socialization of American production and merchandising business to achieve the ends of that small mi nority who would make over our ! America; who would exchange our free enterprise economy, that pro- j vides opportunity and incentive, for the conditions that exist in Russia. I The workers who strike, who walk picket lines at the behest of radical Russian-interested leaders, have no real conception of the movement in which they play a part. While it happens, congress makes no * real effort to curb such activi ties; no effort to protect and pre serve our economic system. ? ? ? BACK TO THE BIG CITY, the old home town, (or bat foar weeks that seemed like four long years. I mixed with the milling throng of strange faces. Each day of those (oar weeks I longed tor the smiles ot friends, (or the friendly greet ing on the streets of the small community in which I lire. Aside from a few acquaintances of former years there was noth ing to attract me in the big city. I am more satisfied with my small home-town than ever be fore. No more big places for me. I am home again to stay. ? ? ? "THE AMERICAN PEOPLE get their opinions from the radio," said the lady. "It is the radio com mentators that influence the peo ple." I agreed with the statement; I listened to Fulton Lewis each day he was on the air. "I would never listen to him," said the lady vehe mently. "He says very little that 1? good about the Democrats. Now I listen to Wilder." So it goes. We want only that with which we agree. We want the radio to confirm our opinions, not to change them. . . . IF THE AMERICAN ECONOMIC system of free enterprise is saved it will be the people of rural Amer- i Jca, the readers of the small city ; and town newspapers, who will do the Job. They constitute the same element in our population. ? ? ? RUSSIA DOES NOT WANT Is fight saw. America does sot wast la fight saw. There ?<B be so war?sew. EachjUy^aad Woman's Wortd Start on PinajSles and Aprons I Now for Attractive Xmas Gifts ?rtta *J4a(ey F) URING ? year's time, we always meet congenial people whom we like to remember at holi day time. Yet, because we don't see them often, we're still not exactly in a position to exchange Christ mas presents, and we'd like to do something so they'd remember us. If the people you meet have chil dren, the problem is simplified, for presents casually given to young sters are always well received and oftentimes helpful if their mother is busy. She'll really appreciate aprons or pinafores for her little girls, mitten or caps for her little boys, or a baby dress for the new arrival. If you do any amount of sewing, you know that scraps at material have a way of accumulating, and unless you make a scrap quilt, you'll never really find a good use for the scraps. Why not, then, gather the scraps and see what you can make from them lor little tots ?your own or someone else's? Start now, and you'll have them ready for the Christmas wrappings in time. Whether the girl is a toddler or a teen, she will appreciate an attrac tive apron or pinafore so she pan help mother, or wear it entertain ing her own little guests. Clothing of this type requires a minimum of material, and bits of lace, ruffling, organdie or ric rac are all that are needed to complete the dainty littlp apron. Daintiness Is Key To Making Aprons Worn dresses, old formals made of organdie, batiste or other sheer fabrics such as curtain material form the basis for many an attrac tive pinafore or apron. Be sure to choose an attractive pattern, either making it or buying it, and do have lots of ruffling to make these gar ments the essence of femininity, so dear to the heart of a young girl. Use your remnants wisely . ? ? Cuttings can be used lor sashes .that tie in perky bows, and they also make nice ruffling material when pieced together. II you're re claiming fabric from old window curtains, formals or such, dye it to the color of a confection like lemon ice, heaven blue or cream pink. Add a bit of lace or ruffling to this if you think it will look nicer, starch the pinafore or apron to perky crisp ness and you'll have a gift that every little girl will adore. Another idea which is very popu lar now is to use inexpensive paisley print handkerchiefs in an apron. These are usually made of cotton and offer the dainty material so de sirable in a pinafore or better still, an apron. Of course, they can also be used for pockets or sashes if your other material does not reach that far. Handkerchief aprons should be starched to within an inch of their life, as they are usually very soft. Sew them with dainty hand stitches. Tarn Rayon Dresses into Snnsuits and Shirts Every one of us has at one time or another bought a dress that we siih ply do not like. There's lots of good material in such dresses which would be lovely in a sunsuit or shirt for a little boy. The skirt of such a dress will frequently provide enough material for two and even three sunsuits for a one or two-year-old. Make sure, however, when re claiming goods of this type that the colors are right for the youngster. True, they do wear some dark shades in clothing, but their youth ful pink-and-whiten ess is at its best in some gay, light-hearted pastel shade, such as turquoise, pink, blue, light green and yellow. Br making aprons from them. Year-Around Cotton * . The thrifty way to achieve nu merous costume changes for small fry is to get your hands on a sewing machine and turn odds and ends of material into sturdy cotton outfits. * ? And another point in favor of these pastels is that if you do make them fcto tot's wear, you can always use them with a good white broadcloth, poplin or muslin if you find yourself running short of mate rial. Dainty fagotting, feather stitch, bias binding and even dainty tailored lace can be used on little boys' shirts or sunsuits. Make it look tailored, however. It's a good idea to get measure ments or used clothing from the mother before you actually start sewing, for nothing could be worse than sewing these little garments with loving care, and then find that they do not fit. Use matching thread always and make sure buttons and buttonholes or snaps are neatly put together. Children's garments win have to stand many tubbings and should be { sturdy even though dainty. | u/ L: T: TTmininf ??!#? '? Do your mending before wash ing, not after it. A tiny hole is bound to become larger during washing when it receives some rather rough treatment. It's easier on the garment and on you. too, if you wash fabrics before they become too soiled. If you want to avoid heart ache, remove colored trimming, buttons and decoration, unless you're certain they're absolutely washable. Soft water saves soap and washes garments cleaner. If the water in your community is hard, use a good, reliable water ' softener Add the softener be fore making suds and adding the clothing. I Never soak clothes too long. After an hour or two, the soil tends to seep back into the gar ment. It also weakens fabric. Never take chances on colored clothes. Unless the label tells you the material is washable, wash the garment separately and keep it separate while dry ing. Intense beat in the water is harmful to all fabrics in the long run. Don't dry clothes on top of radiators either, or "bake'' your clothes in a dryer. Too much sunlight will bleach clothing. Colored clothing should be removed from the line when dry. If you don't think a gar ment will stand the sun, play safe and hang it in the shade. Fashion Flashes ' ? Two colors arc being seen in coats as well as dresses. The dark and lighter shades of green are very attractive. You'll like the velvet pillbox bats with pastel feathers swirling so as to frame tout face most attractive ly. Also look for brightly colored bands at satin an hats to add style and distinct tew to than. Clean, brush and air woolens fre quently to keep them looking nice and fresh. Perspiration weakens woolen fibers, so take care by using good dress shields lor protection. Fringe is seqn a tot these days, especially (or evening wear.

Jewel robberies now are considered important enough to be mentioned among life's major annoyances. ? Scotland Yard, cat burglars, pal ace jobs, international rings and super jool criminals are back in the British headlines. News that.Lon doners who survived the blitz now are disturbed by little things like loss of the family gems is cheering. Things must be looking up. ? It is close to a deoade since a Brit isher on the home grounds felt like even making a complaint if he got home and found nothing worse had happened than ransacking of a dressing table. ? The Duke and Duchess of Wind sor come right out and admit a loss of $80,000 worth of ice. It is only now that they would admit it made any difference. ? Scotland Yard is hot after the jewel robbers but we think the thieves are doing the world a favor. They are flashing the glad news that the war is well into the background and that once again some of the worst things that can happen to you can be endured without a bomb shel ter. ? It shows that England really Is recovering faster than some of her allies. No jewelry ring has been an nounced in France yet. Russia hasn't been bothered by a cat burglar. Even in America we are not yet ing the big stolen-string-of-pearls stage of recovery, but caught some where between the Miss America re newals and the price of Christmas liquor. It's nice to have Scotland Yard back. It seems such a long time since it was found anywhere except on radio programs. xr~ With Scotland Yard Intact and "Mister Inspector" on the job once more, the routine of happier years returns. We should not have to wait long now before hearing about the tailor who buried eight wives in an old well in Sussex and the profes sor of chemistry who amused him self by experiments with arsenic on housemaids. ? But one thing disturbs Americans. We have supposed the British were having as much trouble eating as we are. Yet the main objective on the crime wave there is a ruby, not a lambchop; an emerald, not a hamburger. How come? ? ? ? "Bourbon uhisky mill cost $10 t fifth by Chrutmas."?Neusi item.

A young movie actor, Larry Parks, plays the role while Al's voice is synchronized into the picture. Parks does a good Job but there was only one Jolson and no imitator could ever touch him although hundreds tried. Never to have seen Jolson is to have missed one of the most electric personalities the stage ever knew. m He wasn't just a comedian; be was a battery with a voice, an electric charger with a human per sonality, a bolt of lightning in black face. He was a thing of watts and amperage. No doctor ever took Jol son's pulse; they took his voltage. ? You felt Jolson's presence while he was still in the wings and when be swept onto the stage it was like seeing a four-ring circus break out of an egg. ? He was a great showman without seeming to be, a super comedian who never had to cram the idea down your throat. Jolson al ways seemed to be having more fun than the audience, and it always seemed to us that he played a 30th performance with all the vitality and sparkle of a first night. ? You hummed the Jolson tunes as you filed out of the theater. You told his stories for weeks. What a man! And, come to think of it, he never boasted about the big salary he was getting, wrote a book or did a column as a side line. Maybe it was two other fellows, after all. ? ? ? SITUATION WANTED.

S. public health re quirements, the temperature of the milk is held at 143 degrees usually for 30 minutes, after which cooling is accomplished by either flowing cold water through the unit pr by placing the milk container in a cool ing tank. Dairymen will find, in most locali ties, that they can increase their profits as well as insuring the health of their customers by selling only pasteurized milk. Portable units now on the market will permit farmers, who do not market to creamery units, to provide pasteur ized milk. KNOW YOUR BREED Chester White By W. J. DRYDEN Grand champion Cheater White barrow at Chicago (at shew, IMS, owned and ahown hp Callahan Bros., Mllford, III.

Concrete Milk Cooler Concrete cooling tank will provide the dairyman with the meani of properly cooling hia milk and keep ing it clean and sweet until it goes to market. The tank should be 27 inches deep inside, 38 inches wide inside and 2 feet long for each two cans. Gassing Proves Safe In Eliminating Rats In rural districts, cities and farms where poisoning rats might be haz ardous to animals and children, trapping and gassing are valuable supplements to clean-up and rat proofing methods, points out Harold Hunder son, Iowa State college. Gas sing with calcium cyanide is a quick and easy method of killing rats under tight floors and in under ground burrows. The calcium cya nide should be used in a gas gun and blown with force throughout the entire system.
