The endeavor of the Union Press-
Courier is to sincerely and honestly
represent Trade Union Workers in
efforts to obtain economic freedom
through organizations as advocated
by the CIO and AFL, and we solicit
the support of trade uniens. Mater-
ial for publication must be author-
ized by the organization it repre-
sents and signed by the Presiaent
and secretary, and bear the seal.
The Union Press-Courier gives its
advertisers the advantage of the
combined circulation of the two
largest circulated weeklies in Cam-
bria County and has a reader cove

There's just one thing about being
away from one’s desk in a newspa-
per office, and that’s trying to write
abeut local matters when you have
no immediate touch with such mat-
ters. In fact now, we are basking in
southern sunshine, and somehow are
entirely apart and remote from the
aspects of things which may local-
ly atfect readers of the Union-Press
Courier. One ract, in our trip to the
South is that we are convinced that
Fennsyivama isn't such a bad place
to live in, after all. In fact, condi-
tions in the South, and particularly
Southern laber conditions, are so
far behind the conditions as we have
them, that it is anything but funny.
However, by the time you read this
the editor and the “missus” will be
on a slow trek home from the Gulf
of Mexico, and will be back in the
harness to stay for a good long time
beginning with next week's issue.

We here in America have much
to be thankful for. In our own com-
munities we should be thankful for
what seems to be better times. But
if these better times are coming to
us wholly and simply because of
suffering of humanity and blood-
both of them, or at| shed in Europe, caused by fanatic
blood-thirsty dictators, then is is a
false appreciation. However, be-
cause we are not embroied, we can
and should be thankful, and we
can, indeed, be thankful if next
year at this time, and in future
years at this time, we can still keep
our youth out of foreign conflict. To
that end, let us hope, and pray and
be thankful.

Influential Democrats in the Senate
are discussing methods to delay until
after the 1940 election some of the
Congressional issues which might de-
velop bitter controversy and bring
new splits in party ranks. One leader
said that the “political truce” on the
neutrality legislation had been highly
| beneficial to party morale. He added
|
| that if all factions of Democrats could
| continue to work together during the
next session the chances of a 1940
Presidential victory would be greatly
improced. This senator, who sometimes
has opposed the administration, said
that the next session should be as
brief as possible and that such issues

| program should be put off until 1941.
| It would be a good idea, but we'll bet | bers of the Knights of St. George of
it won't work out.
And now we can begin to con-
centrate on that good old slogan a
lot of us believe in, but that some
fail to execute—“Do Your Christ-
mas Shopping Early.” We might
add too, for the benefit of mechants
—Do Your Christmas Advertising

that the Press-Courier reaches hun-

We're going to have a census ag-
ain in a few months. It will be the
census of 1940 and the Census Bu-
reau at Washington has long been
preparing for it. It is now graduat-
ing its first class is asking a question
and getting the right answer. These
173 men and two women students
have been taught how to avoid the
brisk reply: “It’s none of your bus-
iness,” Of these, 103 will get jobs as
area managers for the census of 1940.
“Get the answers,” says the bureau,
“and get the right ones, but don’t
hold your foot in door or make
threats—be courteous, be clear, be
bill of rights. War is a racket, the |
ex-Marine Corps Commander says. |
He believes in an adequate defense
of the coast line, but believes in
nothing else. If a fellow comes over
here to fight—then fight. “The truo-
ble with American is that the dollar
gets restless when it earns six per
cent over here. It goes overseas to
get one hundred percent. The flag
follows the money, and the soldiers
follow the flag.” We believe that’s
just about true.
