And that won't | be nearly enough to satisfy the ex-| 1 pectant Republican workers over the | Gallup polls in recent years have state. ° Charlie Chaplin has been reveal- ed as a twentieth century Moses to tens of thousands of Jews in Vien- na, awaiting a chance to leave Ger- many. The title was bestowed on the movie comedian by the Jews them- selves for many vf whom Chaplin's financial aid provides the only chance to begin a new life overseas. After devoting all the continental royalties of his films to Jewish re- lief, Chaplin is sponsoring a fund said to run into several million dol- lars to enable German Jews to emi- grate to other countries while aw- aiting their chance to enter the Un- ited States. ® Strange things happen. In last Sun- day's Philadelphia Inquirer we find Ex-Governor George H. Earle writ- | ing its political column, in place of John M. Cummings, the regular edi- tor of that department, now oa vaca- tion. Of course, the ex-Governor did not have much to say about politics, but the very fact he wrote for Moe | Annenberg's paper, in a regular de- partment, may give the rank and file of both parties the thought that may- be some of the higher-ups don't take their politics so seriously, after all. ® Last Thursday the planet Mars reached a point within about 36,000, 000 miles of the earth, the closet it 4as come within 15 years. If the pianet Mars has aay connection at all with Mars—god of War, we won- der if it hasn't some lessons in that art to learn by looking down upon the supposedly humble, peaceiul earth. And as a peaceful planet, we surely can put Mars to shame with our constant Martian-like warring disposition. The things we have are good but the systems we have cre- ated are evil—and we don’t know why. ° Out in East Lansing Michigan the city council's campaign to keep stray dogs off the streets has created a new and a ratehr odorous problem. Proper~ ty owners are now complaining about the skunks that have moved into the city and are making their presence well known in many ways. So, nave, after all, Patton and its dogs do serve a purpose that is the better of two evils. At least we can have that thou- ght in mind when we see them scam- pering about. ° Twenty-five years ago last week, we well remember the day when a big picnic—the annual Northern Cambria Businessmen’s affair—was in full progress at Sunset Park, and in those days it was the biggest ev- ent of the year in Northern Cambria County. We well remember being there, and we well remember of a Johnstown newspaper issuing a spe- cial edition of their paper, and send- ing it up to Sunset Park, streaming with glaring headlines that war had been declared in Europe. Little did we imagine that day of the horri- ble results to humankind that the four years of the war were to bring, and even more remote was the thought that the United States could in any way become involved. But we were, and the “war to end wars” was fought to the finish, and that was that. ® But the “ending of wars” was only a fallacy. What now? Will history re- peat? The answer we think is hidden | in the recesses of one ambitious man’s brain. The European continent is seething with grievances and animosi- ties, fears and ambitions. The wounds of Versailles and Munich do not heal. The tongues of irrenentism, anti-sem- tism, militarism and autarchy make a brutish babel. It is a mess of the dev- il's own conjuring.

If the poll the idea is not so bitterly opposed the north have an excellent oppor- tunity to support north county can- didates, as only one candidate from the north county on both tickets has filed for the primaries—Geo.

It was in September, 1935, that John L. | Lewis, head of the American Federa- | | tion of Labor's biggest union, the Un- | ited Mine Workers of America, called | his workers about him and set up the Committe for Industrial Organization, now the Congress of Industrial Or- ganizations. Since that time the newer | body has carried on unremitting war- fare with the parent AFL and its old fashioned ideas. Last week the CIO's offensive moved into the very strong- hold of the AFL, with the announce- ment of the formation of the United Construction Workers Organizing Com- mittee, to organize industrial unionism in the building trades.

NOTES Although not yet finally complet- ed, the improvements being made to the Press-Courier office, are now shaping up, and our plant is so com- pletely changed that we hardly are able to recognize it ourselves. With the change, too, has come every mo- dern facility for the production of good printing, with new type faces, modern machinery, and the ability to render prompt and efficient ser- vice. Particularly do we cater to the printing of miners’ local unions, and can produce anything from the smallest form to the largest mine sheet. Give us a trial. We're here in your home section. Printers out in Illinois or at some distant point in Pennsylvania have no particular in- terest in your cause, as have we. Our prices are just the same, and our Despite a contraseasonal upturn in in factory employment and payrolls for June, denoting a healthy upward swing, unemployment is still the na- tion’s No. 1 economic problem. In June the army of unemployed num- bered about 10,402,000 as compared to 10,852,000 in May. Yet these fig- ures need only to be compared with the lowest unemployment point sin- ce 1931 to prove that the road to re- emplayment is a long and ardous one. For, in 1937, which marked the highest point in “licking the depress- ion,” the unemployed were estimated at 8,000,000 or so, or more than 2,- 000,000 below the current figure. The decade between 1920 and 1930 saw an unemployment roll ranging from about 1,400,000 to 4,500,000. Since 1930 unemployment has soared to unpre- decented heights, reaching an esti- mated maximum of 13,271,000 in 1933.
