“Obviously, at a time when national

A National Labor Relations Board
decision invalidating an American
Federation of Labor closed shop con-
tract covers approximately 1,000 em-
ployes of the Mt. Vernon Car Manu-
facturing Co., at Mt. Vernon, Ills. The
board ordered the company to reim-
burse its employes for A. F. of L. dues
collected from their pay envelopes and
te grant sole bargaining rights for all
production and maintenance employes
to the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers of North
America, an affiliate of the CIO.
The board also ordered that the
company reinstated 76 discharged men
because of their alleged union affil-
iation or activity.

operator said, ‘Hold the line,

call only cost me 35 cents!
That’s what I call a bargain!”

Yes, most people over-estimate
the cost of making calls to dis-
tant places. The rates for most
Long Distance calls are espe-
cially low all day Sunday and

Clearfield Creek, through the Cress-
on Sportsmen, received 1,000 brown
trout in addition to the previous stoc-
king.
Chest Creek received 800 brown
trout, through the Patton Sportsmen.
Cedar Run, 600, and Benscreek, 400
krook trout, were additional fish sent
to the Portage sportsmen.
Four hundred brook trout for Find-
ley Run and four hundred for Salt-
lick Creek were distributed from
Mundy'’s Corner.
Warm Water Fish
The trout were all from the Rey-
roldsdale Hatchery. Warm water fish
from Tionesta were distributed as fol-
lows:
Catfish, bream and frogs, Beaver
Run Dam and McCoy Shaft Dam;
bream only, St. Francis Lake.

Creek, tributary of the West Branch

LIQUOR STORES LOOK
VACANT: NO DISPLAY
COLORS THE WINDOWS
The State Liquor Store had a haun-
ted look around the place following an
order issued by Governor Arthur H.
James to the effect that the stores may
not promote the sale of liquor even
though they are expected to sell it.
All advertising material and display
liquor that had been neatly arranged
in store winows had to be removed
last week. No more will brightly-col-
ored cards and tempting wines and
whiskeys shine through plate glass
fronts to beckon customers.
The windows were vacant and only
small signs were left to tell the world
where the stores are.
Sealed Bids.
The School Board will receive until
March 14, 1939, sealed quotations to
furnish school supplies for the term
1639-40. Requisitions may be secured
from the Secretary or Supervising
Principal. The board reserves the
right to repect any or all quotations.
