It’s a cheap, necessary, and in nocent looking little article. Yet matches have caused the de struction of hundred of millions of dollars worth of property and tens of thousands of lives. The ,ame thing is true of cigaretts. Great forests, homes, factories—all have gone up in smoke and flame because people didn’t go to the small trouble of putting smoking materials completely out when discarding them. How about the cords that carry the juice to your lamps? Their cost is small and they can be installed in a matter ot minutes. Yet, easy asi t is to replace them when frayed, short circuits also have a gigantic toll of destruction of lofe and property to their credit. These three examples show the main causes of fire—and the ease with which such fires can be prevented. The vast majority of fires are the result of one thing Only—the human factor. Someone is lazy. Someone is careless. Someone puts off till tomorrow what should be one today. Then fire strikes. The loss may be great or itmay be small. In either case, it is totally unnecessary. Keep that in mind when smoking, when checking household equipment, or when doing anything that has a bearing on fire hazards. TELL IT TO YOUR CONGRESSMAN CIO High Prices worry you? Paying too much rent or do you want a better honffc? How about that poll tax or anti lynch law? Then do something about it! That’s the gist of a letter sent by CIO Legislative Dir ector Nathan Cowan to all CIO councils and International unions. “Everv CIO affiliate,” Cowan says, “every CIO member has a duty"to be on the alert; to keep informed of what Con gre-- is doing and ij^fct it is not doing; and to keep the Con gre.-'men from yotfrarcfc continuously reminded that the pubilc wants Congress to pass anti-inflation legislation, the Taft-Ellender-Wagner housing bill and the civil rights pro gram.” This is what we should do?. 1 Letters, telegrams and phone calls to Congressmen and Senators demanding immediate action on an effective price control bill to end the increasing hardship of high prices on the incomes of the working family. \\ e must insist that wage con trol legislation is neither necessary nor desirable because record breaking profits make it possible for labor to win wage gains by collective bargaining within existing price levels. With the prices controlled, labor wdll make progress at the expense of profits, not at the expense of the consumers. 2. Letters and telegrams to your congressmen demand ing that, if he has not already done so, he sign the discarge, petetion to bypass the Rules Committee and to bring theT-E W bill on to the floor of the House. About 160 Congressmen have already signed this petition; 218 Congressmen—a majority of the House—must Jfen it before the T-E-W bill can be acted upon. 3. Letters and telegrams to Senators demanding that they support cloture (cut-off of debate) to prevent a southern fili buster on the civil rights program and they pass HR 29 to end the poll tax. S. 984 to establish a Fair Employment Fractices Commission, and S. 28<>0, the anti-lynch bill. (HR 29 has al ready passed the house.) 4. Petitions and mass meetings in support of the anti inflation and housing program when they can be mobilized quickly and effectively. 5. Contacts with other cCmmunity organizations—unions, church groups, consumer organizations, women’s clubs, civic' groups—to develope strongest possible appeal for action on inflation, housing, and civil rights. In every letter every wire every phone call remind your Congressmen we’ll remember the record in November. —.—. . . STEEL SUBSTITUTES LIES FOR HOUSES By Elliott Carlton—Labor Reports Columnist No, those are not voices that you’re hearing. Not at all. It’s just the noise that’s been generated about the “captive” coal mines. All of a sudden, it seems as if they are necessary for national de fense. Some of the steel mills de pend upon them—and the country needs steel. Sure, it needs steel. But— Let’s make it a big BUT— for the simple reason that it IS a big BUT. “BUT why,” let’s ask the question, “did we permit the steel companies to cut down their plant facilities to pre-war levels? Why? We’re in an inflationary spiral right now—end the main reason for it is that steel is in extremely short supply. And it’s NOT because of the miners in the ‘captive” mines. It’s 'because the steel owners feel that they can control pro fits—when they can control production. They’re right about that— but wrong about everything else. Inflation can cause a crash that will ruin us, all of us, for good. And the chances are that we won’t blame the right parties—the steel own ers. Instead, since they control the big publicity vending ma chines—we’ll be finding scape goats. If Germany can serve as a lesson, the Jews will get it first. Then the Catholics or, maybe, the Negroes. Guys who aren’t native born citizens will feel it, too. And the unions; They be come company stooges when the big industrialists got a toe hold by spreading the poison of prejudice. Just turn back the clock a few years— and check it for yourself. So no one is safe. Not even ME, come to think of it. That’s, why it’s up to you and me to do all we can to keep our econ omy in working order. Let’s nail the prejudiced remarks about the “captive” coal min ers as lies, right now. Like all statements ba»ed on prejudice, they are falsehoods. And our America cannot be built on falsehood, on prejudice. WASTE fro FAT The need for salvage of used cooking fat is still great. It is important that ail fat is used in every home.. However, there comes a time when fat is no longer usable for cooking pur poses. You can sell this excess fat to your meat dealer for cash. SAVE FAT - i "Save fat" has been the cry to homemakers all during the war and since’ There is still a great , need for the lady of the house to I .salvage and sell all fat to her meat dealer that is not used. FAT SALVAGE - a IMPORTANT JOB i . - Salvaging used kitchen fat is a little Job, but a mighty impor tant one. Scrape, scoop and skim all used kitchen fat when you broil, fry and boil.

USEP FAT IS ASSET Spoon every drop of un-usable fat into your fat salvage con tainer and sell it to your meat dealer. You will add pennies to your food budget and help ease the nworld-wide shortage of fats and oils. NEWYORKVIGNETTE . .tfMa^mr AS THE KETTLE BUBBLES: A fellow we know who’* named John B. Kennedy la a man who has occa slon to get about our city as well as our country and other lands In the pursuit of his profession and thus does this 8unday ra dio news com mentator, as much a friend of Father Knickerbocker aa are we, lean back from tils desk in the NYC MBS newaroom to discuss with us not national nor international newa, but some of the remarkable things which have been happening in our metropolis of late. And what’s re ported from the following compari son of our notes is far from the half of it, too. HERE, KITTY!: You could con sider the case of the subway cat and the subway motorman. It was because a passenger on a Brooklyn station platform spied a kitten on the tracks and waved frantically at Victor Klepacki, the motorn ** an Incoming train, that jammed on the air brakes. Victor spotted the cat’s gleaming eyes, dropped himself from his cab to the tracks and, despite the hazards of third rails, attempted to scoop up the wee animal. Kitty dashed ahead into the under-river tunnel leading to Manhattan. The motor man hero, with by then shouted encouragement of passengers, re turned to his* train controls and fol lowed puss cat slowly in his train some 500 yards further into the tunnel. About that point the forlorn feline, woefully tired, was scooped up and given a dimeless ride to the Times Square, Manhattan, station, where friendly guards took over, comforting and feeding the waif and seeing that it was subsequently properly cared for. FURRED AND FEATHERED FRIENDS: Considered also were lee affaires the East River cat and Jimmy the Crow, a Babylon, L. I. suburbanite. It took an ASPCA agent, plus the crew of the police harbor launch on which he was aboard, to track down, through lis tening to mowings, a cat which for some time resisted all rescue ef forts beneath a 95th Street pier bulkhead by leaping nimbly about among piling supports. She’s o.k. now too. As for Jimmy the Crow (a talking one)—well, that bird snatched a man’s key and driver’s license case dangled before him, made like a jet plane and was gone. After a few days’ search by resi dents, including the pet’s unhappy owner, the stolen property was un covered in a nearby cemetery. All’s forgiven until the next time RESERVED PEW: As for the matter of an irreverent pigeon, we refer to the small gray one which swooped down over the heads of some 1,000 worshippers In the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, doing wlngovers and nose dives from its perch on a chandelier 60 feet above Just after the Reverend Dr. John Short, noted British clergyman, had, started hla sermon. Dr. Short, see ing the congregation a bit upset said, “Please don’t let it disturb you; I am quite used to them." All present seemed happier, including the pigeon, which settled down on the organ behind the pulpit, coofng occasionally and cocking its head for better listening. 20,000,000th guest!

This was learned recently by the Workers Defense Lea gue, which is in the process of organizing a commission of in quiry on slave labor the world over. The internees, twenty-four of whom were in Russia for Aviation training at the con clusion of the Spanish Civil War, were detained under fairly good conditions until the outbreak of Russo-German hos tilities in June 1940. At that point, when questioned, they indicated a desire to go to France or Mexico and were then arrested, snt to various prison camps and evertfually wound up in Karaganda where | they kre living in the unbe-1 lieveable concentration camp | conditions, possible only under | a totalitarian regim.e j At the same time as the WDL made public this story, it issued a statement support ing the recent demand by Mat thew Woll, vice president of the AFL, for a United Nations investigation of slave labor in countries within the Soviet sphere. “We support the effort of the AFL to bring about a UN investigation of these charges AK-SAR-BEN* COLISEUM 6jrs SEPT. 14-19 WSmiSm ( ELECTRICAL] (EXPQSmONl SEE THE GREATEST ARRAY OF HOME AND FARM ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT EVER ASSEMBLED UNDER ONE ROOF PLUS RADIO’S “FAMILY QUIZ PARTY’’ by ywy lovwli® emaWKin tram KBON, KOIl, KOWH, KFA», WOW md KSWI STAGE SHOW NIGHTLY FEATURING MORTON WELLS AND HIS ORCHtSTRA PLUS SPECIALTY ACTS SEE THE MANDEIS SHOW OF •'JS8S5#* NIGHTIY EXCEPT SUNDAY ECONOMY COOKING SCHOOLS IVflY'AmtNOON 2:00 PM.

Tremen dous inspiration comes to everyone in viewing the state’s mighty panorama of accom plishments in many field; — agricultural, industrial, educa tional and others. Not the least of Nebraska’s ac complishments is in the field of brewing industry self-reg ulation, a program designed to help prevent abuses connected 1 with the handling of beer. Through this program the brewing industry works for ever higher standards in the distribution of its product. Beer retailers are instructed and encouraged to observe every regulatory statute, par ticularly those prohibiting sales to minors and intoxicated per sons, and sales after hours . . . the maintenance of clean, neat, sanitary places . . . and the elimination of any conduct which might be displeasing or irritating to the public. Ten years of this program has helped build in Nebraska one of the brewing industry’s most valued assets — a good name.
