CHARLOTTE, N. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1936
Americanism is an unfailing love of country, loyalty to
its institutions and ideals, eagerness to defend it against all
enemies, undivided allegiance to the flag, and a desire to se
cure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity.
WITH THE ELECTION OVER, LET'S ORGANIZE
With the election a thing of the past, organized labor can
turn its full attention to strengthening of its position in the eco
nomic field.
Organization and more organization is the pressing duty
before union men and women. The problem of making the ma
chine serve mankind instead of profits has not yet been solved.
Other menacing problems await solution. To cope with the dangers
that lie ahead, there is no substitute for strong, intelligent union
ism. To contribute to this every union member can:
1. Become a better member of his own union by keen in
terest in all its activities. This means attending meetings regu
larly, taking part in union discussions, voting at elections and
referendums, buying union label goods and services.
3. Byy giving real support to your labor paper. Support that
tunity.
3. By giving real support to the labor paper. Support that
counts includes subscribing to local labor paper (and keeping the
subscription paid up), getting subscriptions for the paper and con
sistent and continuous support of its advertisers. The editor of
your labor paper can tell you other effective ways to help.
4. By supporting workers' education activities. The more
union members know about the labor movement, its history,
achievements, aims and policies, the better the movement will be.
Attend your union meetings and then kick, don’t stay away and com
plain of getting a “Raw Deal.”
I.abor is going to be more of a factor politically from now on than it has
been, and fight as they may. Cliques and Rings are going to hate to reckon
with it and recognize it.
Friday's headlines state “U. S. Chamber Commerce Sqgks Harmony
with Roosevelt,” and on Saturday they “Demand That Federal Work Relief
Be Brought to An End.” Now those boys don’t want harmony, and they
know it, and they don’t like Roosevelt or anything that he is doing.
Labor organizing activities will not be checked by pay increases. It
is as necessary that the workers be bound together for their own benefit as
it is for bankers, manufacturers, business and professional men. Unionism
is as much entitled to recognition by law as professional men, bankers, etc.
Not every man in labor wlm hollers the longest and loudest is a real
labor man. Ask him is he wearing a union made suit, a union made hat,’
tie, shirt and sox, along with shoes, and does his wife wear union-made
hosiery and other apparel she can secure? Let’s take stock—and then shout.

If fresh peas are hard no matter
how carefully you have cooked them,
press through a sieve and use the
pulp for soup.
To protect paper when cleaning
paint use a piece of heavy cardboard
about twelve inches square, moving
it along as you cnean.
Beat eggs only slightly when they
are to be used in custards, puddings,
sauces, etc. Beat well when they
are used to make food light, as in
sponge cakes and puffy omelets.
Knitted and crocheted frocks
should never be hung from closets.
hooks or hangers if they are to keep|
their shape. Even eyelet cotton
dresses will stretch less if folded and
laid fait, or hung double across a
wooden hanger.
An excellent liquid soap for sham
pooing may be made by accumulating
all the little pieces of soap which are
too small to use and keeping them in
a pitcher or pan in which there is a
little water. Each time you put an
other piece in be sure that there is
some liquid in the bottom so the soap
will disoslve. Keep the soap cov
ered so no dust will collect.
The next time you make your child
a dress, try this new method of solv
ing the button problem. Make a row
of buttonholes down either side of
the opening of the frock, then make
a pair of links for each pair of but
tonholes by sewing a button on each
end of a short piece of tape. The
button links can then be easily re
moved for washing and the frock can
go safely through the wringer.
WISE SON
Father: “I never kissed a girl until
I met your mother. Will you be able
to say the same to your son when
you Income a married man?”
Son: “Not with such a straight
face as you can, father.”
If you had lived in the fourteenth
century you could have bought horses
at 72 cents each, and oxen at $1.25.

LETS HOPE LAST SENTENCE
IS TRUE, “WE’LL HEAR NO

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 22.—Hugh
Walpole, English writer, said today
he is not a gambling man, but he
would “welcome a large wager" that
King Edward will not marry Mrs.
Wally Simpson. "Edward is as like
ly to marry her as I am,” Walpole
said, smiling broadly. “In a few more
weeks we’ll hear no more about Mrs.
Simpson.”

LET U8 GIVE THANKS
Thanksgiving, 1936, finds America and its citizenship with
more to be thankful for than probably on any previous occasion
in recent years. Our people are finding their way back to gain
ful employment, capital is finding an outlet and our manufactur
ing enterprises are humming along at full speed, and when we look
back three, four or five years, when jobless millions gave thanks
on an empty stomach it can be easily seen that we Americans
are real heroes and patriotic. No citizen of our great country,
no matter what may be his lot should fail to give thanks to God
on this day for the innumerable blessings that have been bestowed
and though his lot may not be what he would like, let him take
stock and see how much worse it could be.
The appointments of Sheriff Riley’s force is causing some
speculation. The Observer a few days ago gave a problematical
line-up, which was pleasing to some, but not enjoyed so greatly
by others.
There is such a thing as talking too much for public print,
and if some office holders would learn the lesson to do and then
talk, they would find themselves in a more enviable position.
