Clark of 408 inf., who was captan of C. C- C Company 737, Palace, Mo was received and made welcome by the entire Company 1728. I Company 1728 was organized at Jefferson Baracks, Mo., April, 1933 and after a few weeks, the company departed for the northern woods of Minnesota. A tent camp was first tarted and later a permanent camp was established at Taft Minn., on the North Sore of Lake Superior. This camp was abandoned after six months and was sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for two months and finally settled at Liberty, Mo-, where a per. manent camp is established and will operate there for at least a year. During the lifetime of this camp many dramatic occurances have weld ed members and offeers nto a close ly unted brotherhood. We have bat tled blizzards, iwth the mercury hit ting the low mark of 62 degrees be low zero, we have fought fires that threatened to virtually destroy the camp, and we have laid to rest one of of our beloved, Captain Eggleston, who died from the effect of worry and overwork. That was a sad day for the members and officers of the company. But all these thngs have helped to bring us closer together. ■During the short span of this camp’s existence, it has seen the coming and going of nine Captains. Harry Sampson, Reporter G. G. C.

WAITERS By Hopie Oh, well! It seems to me that the Omaha Waiter’s Ass’n can’t get out f port: The Captain called his crew LENT3Y BAR & CAFE LINDY BAR & CAFE 24th & Charles St. SPECIALTY SHRIMP, AND ALL KINDS OF —SANDWICHES— Regular Luncheon A La Carte Service Day and Night —SEE US— — — . 'J on the 10th of September to sail for for the winter to “Successful island” where they expected to find warm feelings and a successful association. But there was only 10 aboard so he called it off hoping that more would be ready later. But it seems to get worse; so the captain dropped his anchor until the waiters are driven out again Say did yon see what happened down t the Paxton? Well, Mr. Huckins, We who know him can only speak the highest praise for him. We only wish him success wherever he goes. My, my! I can’t say too much for the boy down at the Paxton- Last spring when I was placed in the alley way, I left there a winter cap so as to have an excuse to go back, «nd, boy, when Mr. Winter called for that cap, the boys had thrown it in the bye bye. But the Paxtonites will never let you down. Mjy pAl, Mr. Callaway, furnished me with an assortment of caps out of the boaks and am t hot? Could never have bought one near the price- Look me over. The clubs have closed and there are plenty of good men to select from— While there are only a few places that look as if the party business will receive some good men. But as it goes, there’s always a demand for good men. So have patience, don’t ci-y. There’ll be some jobs, bye, bye. Say, Boy, the Waiters’ Apartment cn North 25th Street is really hot. On next Monday night may I ask hat we meet and decide whether we re to go any farther or call it off. t is your Association as well as mine. So let’s be men. Either drop it or ontiinue. So be there in order that ou may know the outcome- New fficers are to be elected this month. Don’t forget Monday night at the /lid City Community Center. MAXIE MILLER WRITES (For the Literary Service Bureau) (For advice, write to Maxie1 Miller, care of Literary Service Bureau, 51 fi Minnesota Ave., Kan sas City, Kan. For personal self addressed, stamped envelope). Maxie Miller: I am a man sixty two, a widower, in good health, an ex-school teacher, in good circumstances, own a home and have a fair bank account. I ajn in love with a young woman just past twenty-two. She is not my I equal in educaion bu is a high school graduate. This girl is of conservative class, does not care for parties dances, cards & such things. She devotes her time to church and Sunday school work. She say she’s old enough to know her own mind and is willing to marry me Now, my two married daughters bject. They call this girl a gold digger and say she is hunting a soft place to fall. They refuse to live with me because they could not have wild parties like they Ido at hotae, and they seldom ever come to my home, now. What dr you think about this situation? Should I marry this young woman —Puzzled Professor. Puzzled Professor: To marry a weman forty years younger is taking a chance. It is almost a case of December and May. How ever, froim what you write, I am inclined to the opinion that there is a chance for happiness. But both should consider well and re member that twenty years hence [she will be in her prime and you .will have lived more than your ‘threescore and ten.” Bive no attention to those daughters of yours. They are ealous and selfish and fear a wife vill use what would be left for hem. If you both are sure of ove and that you can harmonize hen marry and forget the dispar ty in age.—Maxie Miller.

A MEMORABLE DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY August 11, 1933. will stand forever as one of the most memorable days in American history. On that day, the Blue Eagle was bom and the greatest peace-time army ever assem bled in the United States was mobi lized under its banner to defeat the paralysis which had overtaken our in dustrial system and shattered the mo rale of millions of jobless citiz ens. A million and a half volunteers, under the idrectkm of 6500 local com mittees, launched their drive to en list the support of all employeers andconsumers for the President’s Re mployment Agreement. With lightn ng speed, the signatures of 2,300,000 employers were tbtained ti this agree ment to spread work and increase purchasing power by paying higher wages for shorter hours. “We Do Our Part,” the Blue Eagle proclaim ea ior tnese employers ,ana ou,uuur j 000 consumers signed pledgees to do , their part in fostering recovery by buying Blue Eagle goods. On this high wave of enthusiasm, many hundreds of thousands of work-! ers were employed almost at once1 and the wheels of Industry began to move again. Then came the second and the hard r step—.the effort to bring perma nent order linto our economic life i by organizing industry for self-gov-1 eminent under codes of fair competi tion. Naturally, the task of code making was not easy. It asked men to forsake the get-rich-quick, every man for himself policy which had be. ocme deeply rooted during boom times and to accept the novel prop osition that to achieve security for themselves they had to help achieve it for their fellow men. Administrator Hugh S. Johnson has realistically described this process f adjustment to new moral values t was marked by four stages, he aid: “Fifcst* Pelactajnoa and suspicion, oupled with a sort of skeptical hope; econd, hostility of warring groups, patient negotiation sprinkled with 1 eexplosive outbursts; third, despair, and dogged sullenness, ending bitter j ly in an agreement, fourth, relief, j ike a breath of mountain air in a dungeon, sudden realization that the ndustry is on a new and better foot ing, and among all contestants gen ral good feeling.” This, in realistic terms, describes how codes were made and cooperation achieved. Out of confusion, bitter ness, greed, persuasion, horse-trading, gradually came compromise, sacrifice, ellowship, achievement. Ninety-six J per cent of Industry is already operating under codes. The next few weeks will see th rmaining indus tris either merged with existing kin dred codes or enrolled under a new basic code.
