“We Are Americans First and Trade Unionists Second”
WILLIAM GREEN, PRES. A. F. OF L
GREEN URGES LABOR TO OBSERVE
“I AM AN AMERICAN DAY,YY MAY 16
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The importance of the proclamation of the
United States designating May 16 as “I Am An American Day” was em
phasized by AFL President William Green in urging the officers and mem
bers of state federations of labor and city central bodies “to join with other
official and civic groups in the observance of .this day.”
Pointing out that the President’s proclamation declares that May 16
is set aside “as a public occasion for the recognition of all who, by coming
of age or naturalization, have attained the status of citizenship,” Mr. Green
said:
“Participation in this celebration will serve to create national unity, co
operation and goodwill, and in addition will contribute largely to the winning
of the war.
“I respectfully urge that you play an important part in a proper observ
ance of ‘I Am An merican Day.’ This is especially fitting and most appro
priate this year because all classes of people are united in a fixed and
determined effort to defeat the Axis powers and to win the war in w'hich
we are engaged at the earliest possible moment. It is especially important
that labor participate in the celebration of this Citizenship Day this year.”

ant. Let’s fill it full of vitamins
and make it, so appetizing he can’t
res’st it. Why not follow these
hints?
Sandwiches:
Don't toast bread to go in boxes.
Favor wholewheat and enriched
brands.
Soften or cream butter before
spreading.
Have all ingredients handy and
properly seasoned before making
sandwiches.
Wrap neatly in separate pieces of
wstxed paper to preserve freshness.
Salads and Desserts:
When cooking for the family, don’t
forget to put individual portions of
' salads and desesrts in short wide
mouthed jelly glasses suitable for
packing. Put lettuce leaves on top,
never around salads, to preserve
crispness.
Liquids:
The wide-mouthed thermos bottle is
almost indispensable for soups, hot
drinks, stew or other hot foods.
Keep it properly cleaned and aired
between uses.
Salt and sugar are easily carried in
small screw top bottles.

April Checks Of
Unemployed Are
Lower Than Usual
_v—
RALEIGH, May 11—The $78,
799.58 paid out during April by the
Unemployment Compensation com
mission in benefit checks to about 2,
500 idle workers was the lowest in
the six years since the program was
inaugurated, UCC Director R.' F.
Martin announced today.
Martin said the decrease in pay
ments could be attributed primarily
to the wartime demand for all avail
able labor.
The money was paid out in 11,347
benefit checks, less than one per cent
of the number written during the
peak of unemployment in August,
1940.
