Don’t try to be a stay at home
There's plenty for all to do
Just try to help your neighbor some
I’m sure you’re trying too
Be a sport about your job
Pray do not be a grouch
For some one else may be the gob
And you may be saying ouch.
Try smiling for a change for as you
know
The season is drawing near
When you are going to be asked to go
To see a friend so dear
Who is needing you and hoping too
He’ll see your kindly face
Do not try to shirk your work
But try to keep in your place.

Trying each day to keep pace with
a fast moving world. Is one of the
hardest jobs you and I will ever have,
changing so fast that it takes expert
knowledge of affairs to keep abreast
of tite times. It used to be when you
would see a structure rearing up its
head skyward you knew all of the an-
swers, but today you are as lost as
was Alice in Wonderland and need an
expert to explain all of the new fan-
gled gadgets used in the construc-
tion of the Temple of Man, be awake,
read, study. learn, and use your ham-
mer in its proper sense. Leave your
officials alone unless you have a so-
lution to better the situation. They
have their cross to bear, so bear your
cross and help us please you.

The story deals with the selfishness,

of the innocent young girl is present-

refuses to bow to the corrupt hierar-

Forget about your speed
For he who shirks as he does his
work
is guilty of theft we know
And will be out we have no doubt
As through this world we go.
He who believes he will succeed
is wise and this we know
For he who tries and wins the prize
is happier as happiness goes
To do your work please do not shirk
Give it all you have
You can see what the results will be
When you are finished with your task.
The man who gives, yes, gives his all
Without a thought of fear or favor
is like the man in the overalls
Of a truth does this all savor
True to the principle of the task itself
We strive to please 'tis true
Do not if you please invite the shelf
While there is plenty of work to do.

Atlanta, Ga. (AFLWNS.) _ The
greatest organizing campaign in the
South ever undertaken by the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor was launch-
ed this week at Atlanta, Ga., by 2,000
representatives of trade unions from
ten Southern States with the goal of
a half-million new members in a
year.
Striking the keynote for the drive,
President William Green in a nation-
ally broadcast address called the
South the “new land of promise” and
offered a plan of union-management
co-operation to lift living standards
of Southern workers, increase their
purchasing, power, stabilize Southern
industry and promote business recov-
ery throughout the nation.
Delegates assembled at the two-day
Southern Labor Conference, which
packed Atlanta’s Civic Auditorium to
the doors, adopted a constructive
statement of policy and a progressive
legislation program designed to ben-
efit the workers of the South.
Welcomed by Newspapers, Public
Officials and Churches
Conservative newspapers, like the
Atlanta Constitution and the Atlanta
Journal, described the gathering as
the “biggest labor meeting ever held
in this section of the country" and
devoted many columns of space to the

the guiding principle of our life. Ap-
plied to human relationships there
would be no world wars, no class
struggles, no labor problems, no per-

thing less than this reduces mankind
to the level of thinking expressed in
the motto: "Every man for himself,
and may the devil take the hind-

“An unknown "neighbor" once wrote
these words as his guide in his rela-

By DR. CHARLES STELZLE
The world is closing in on the
measure of “personal liberty" you
may enjoy. It was never truer than
ft is today that “no man liveth unto
himself." This is certainly true in
the countries which are now engaged
in war. And restrictions of the se-
verest character are also being placed
upon those who live in so-called neu-
tral countries.
We may talk as we please about our
Bill of Rights and our Constitutional
privileges, but there are some things
of which even these do not treat and
they are things which affect us in our
everyday life. They are so personal
that in many cases they cannot be
reached by the law. The whole doc-
trine of law has been reduced by
Blackstone, one of the world’s great-
est legal authorities to this simple
formula:) “First, that we should live
honestly; second, that we hurt no-
body; and third, that we should ren-
der to every one his due.” And this
formula applies to bosses as well as
to workers.
The application of these principles
to social relationships, to the labor
problem, to forms of government, and
to international affairs, would settle
every legal question which disturbs
the world today. Unfortunately the
working out of these principles is
often overshadowed by covetousness,
bigotry, hatred and envy, and these
lead to personal conflict, class strug-
gles, and sometimes to world war.
Because of this fact there arises the
necessity for a higher law. It was
handed down to us thousands of years
ago. Here it is: “Thou shalt love
thy neighmbor as thyself.” This law
was announced by the Great Teacher
when he was asked the question as to
what is the first and great command-
ment, and when He told the story of
