COMMUNISTS MEET (From Editor 4 Publisher) Anyone who doubts that the Communists in this country ere subversive and dangerous elements in our society needed only toy to enter the Comatwnfete' national dom went too hold ta New York City. The sessions are held to secret, closed to the press end other observers. That is conclusive evidence that this so-called “politi cal party” has something to hide. And what have they to hide, except their past record and plans for the future? If their pro g***> hi Iw the public good there is no reason for s secret meeting. The closed sessions sre indicative of undercover activities. We believe this fact should be pointed out to every newspaper reader, young and oil, in America. LAW. I am Law. I am Nature’s way. I am God’s Way. By me comes order, unity. In my hand I hold three gifts: health, happiness, and success. Those who do not follow me are devoured by the dogs of disease, misery, and failure. The ignorant fear me, they run from my face, they tremble at my voice; but the wise love me and seek me forever. I am their ^ desired lover. Fools think to outwit me, and that no son of man has ever done. ( I am more clever than the cleverest. I am stronger than the strongest. I am old God. I never sleep. I never err. I am verile as youth. I am accurate as mathematics. I am beautiful as poetry. I am sweet as musk. . Without me there could be no art, no harmony of sounds, no charm of landscape or picture, no government, no life. Iam the secret of goodness. I am the horror of sin. I am the eternal path, and besides me there is none else. Without me men wonder in the labyrinth of death. Heaven is where I am. Hell is where I am not. I am efficiency in man. I am loveliness in woman. - I am everywhere; in every wrinkle of the infinite waves of water, in the oak, in the brain, in nourishment, in excreta, in dis ease, in soundness, in the lover’s clasp, in the corpse, in the stars, in the storm. I whirl, I dance, I flame, I freeze, but always mathematical ly. For I am more intricate than calculus, more accurate than any instrument. j They that live by me find peace. They that kiss me find love. They that w alk with me conte at last to God. \ Dr. Frank Crane. • ... V *> $ >•„ • •. .. v - . •/. • W J. . LEGITIMATE PAPERS GOING AFTER 'EM!

General Foods Corp. has just reported that its profits before taxes for the first half of 1945 were 42.5 per cent greater than than the same period in 1944. Sig nificantly, these tremendous profits were made while sales rose only 18 per cent in 1945. General Foods is the biggest fac tor in the food distribution busi ness in the country, owning such brands as Birdseye froxen foods, Grape Nuts, Maxwell House coffee, Postum, Swanadown flour, *Jello and Log Cabin syrup.

By KUTH TAYLOR Centuries ago Euripedes wrote, "A stars is he who cannot express • his thoughts." How caa you export people to understand you if yon rsaast sposh for yourself? Hew caa you expect the proper valuation of year work and your ability unless you are able to talk of it cleariy, quietly and with dignity? Now don’t say "I can’t talk about myself." WeU if you can’t who caa? I don’t moan you’re to gw around loud-mouthed, bragging about what you moon to do someday. You must hare, or acquire if yoa haven’t it the ability to sell yourself—but reawmber you hare to hare something to sell before you begin. You’ve gat to be sure your merchandise, which is you, is the boot possible at the price. You hare to hare the assurance of ability and competence More yoa start talking and not just bo a bag of “hot air." And it wasn’t just yourself Euripedes meant "A alare is he who caaaot express his thoughts." You hare lots of ideas about the things that interest yoo. (I’ve met very few people whose only interest was them selves.) Learn how to talk about the things that interest you. Practice by saying what you think. It’ll come hard at first—like anything new. But the more you do it, the easier it will become. I know—it wasn’t easy for aw at first, either. Hare something to say—even if it is only thank you. I know one trade unionist who was suddenly catapulted to an important job. He was a Mg frog in his own puddle but when he attended his first Mg convention very few people had ever heard of him. They knew him before the end of it! I new heard a man make so many two minute speeches. When you sum med them all up, all he did was thank the previous speaker for his “apt sad appropriate remarks." Of course, all the speakers he complimented—and their followers—decided he was a man of discernment. And. when he finally had something to say—they listened—they were his friends. Now, couldn’t you do that? Remember—the oftener you take the trouble to put your thoughts into words, the clearer you will think and the better able you will be to explain your viwpiont. You will gain confidence and poise. You will feel mote e«P«ble and better able to tackle not only your job, but the one ahead. “A slave is he who cannot express his thoughts." mnsssssssnswrwsmmmrrrmmwrrrrrwvmrwwrurrrrwuumu "MOW THE KE (MAM YOU EAT” ' MB rUDW or 40ALITT ON MACH PACKAM U kmkk fmf I WT BAHtY PRODUCT!
