I QUESTION BY WM. S. GREENE AMERICANISM? Arguing about whether a 2 7-8" brim on a straw hat is too wide, or the color too loud, or the band too wide; compared with England talking about its bomb proof shelters for London, and Gas Masks for children; compared with other countries now boasting about the pro ficiency of their bombing planes in Spain where they were tried out on women and children, and now are being received in their own countries as heroes. OBSERVATION? The libraries in the county and city are closed. Be fore the key was in the front door for the last time, the head of the library, Mr. Gourley, had announced he had a new job in Tulsa, Oklahoma. If a Charlotte person had been chosen for that job, and we have some 100, 000 population to pick from, that per son would not have given up, even though the library were closed. He or she would be doing everything in their power to get it going again, as soon as possible. So, for sending out of town for a better librarian, it is possible we lose the facilities of the library for some time to come. And, 5-DAY WEEK A “decided tendency” to apply the 6-day week in industry, long demand ed by the A. F. of L. is reported by the Merchants’ association of New York in announcing the compilation of the answers to a questionnaire recently circulated among 111 employers. The 5-day week, the association said, cov ers some of the employes of 86 per cent of the employers included in the questionnaire. Of this group 61 per cent apply the 5-day week to all em ployes throughout the year. PATRONIZE THOSE WHO ADVERTISE IN THE JOURNAL DOBBS JEWELRY & LOAN CO.

IS. 20. 27. if every A. F. of L. man in Charlotte would sign a petition to vote again, or some other technical legal point overlooked, like was done in the case of the Police Commissioner, surely 44 locals of the A. F. of L. could muster many thousands of votes for same. We helped on the slum clear ance; we should help on the library. There is not much difference in burn ing books, as compared with fixing them so that they can’t be read. GROWING? Orchids go to the new City Employees local 242-1 who have elected delegates to the Charlotte Central Labor Union. There are many things the A. F. of L. can do for hard Working employees of a city, whose job is dependant on what they produce in work rather than votes. The employees, if they pursue con servatise policies, can fix it in time so that they are not dependant upon the right men getting in every two years, as long as they do their work well. FREEDOM? We have heard a great deal of what constitutes Free dom of speech, in the last year or two, since the dictator nations elimi nated it All this constitutional guarantee seeks to protect, is the right for anyone to say or write, or film or broadcast (any means of communication) whatever he or she may think of anything, so long as it does not offer to overthrow by vio lence our government. Our fore fathers knew that if a crackbrain gets an idea, which differs from what we already have, the best way to get rid of the idea and crack-pot is to give it the air. Don’t force it behind closed doors. Let it be discussed. When it becomes serious enough, then the natural thought of self-preserva tion, will take care of the fool idea. When censorship of political ideas be gins anywhere, then it is the begin ning of the end of democracy, because you won’t be able to stop it. IMMIGRATION? We hear state ments about, “We must stop immigra tion,” from certain un-American sources, who are today yelling, we are going to save our Democratic form tt htfl to IM, Wttk Doggett Lumber Co.

The Macaroni Family By BETTY EARCLAY The leading shapes of this wheat food, — macaroni, spaghetti and egg noodles are popularly called THE ENERGY TRIO.

Those same sources, if you will investigate them closely, are not tied up with the real bul wark of Democracy today, which is the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, D. A. V., and other people who thought enough of our country to fight for it, when the time came. Lookout for the fellow sell ing you snake oil that is guaranteed to cure cancer. The cancer will kill you just the same. Go to the right people to get your patriotism, just like you do the right doctors. Don't let any fool appeal about saving your jobs from immigration get you, when the truth is that there is no immgra tion today tnat amounts to a row of pins, if anyone will show you the statistics in the last 8 years. We got more men from other countries be fore this depression, in one year, than we have in all the years since. This is A. F. of L. statistics from the Monthly Survey. And you can thank the present New Deal set up for this sensible restriction, not some one who is noted as being the New Deal enemy today.
