The endeavor of the Union Press- Courier is to sincerely and honestly represent Trade Union Workers in ettorts to obtain econemic 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 Presiacnt ana 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 cov. erage that blankets Patton and the mujor mtmg towns. The chaps who were elected to of- fice in Cambria county at the No- vember election won't have to wait long after the first of the year, to be sworn in. January 1, 1940, is in- auguration day for borough and for county officials elected at the Nov- ember 7th Municipal election. The law sets forth that all persons elect- ed to office shall take office at noon on the first Monday of the year im- mediately following the year in which teh election took place. The fact that New Year's Day is the first Monday of 1940 has no bearing on inauguration day, it was pointed out. Commissions of persons now hold- ing office expire at noon on the first Monday of 1940 and vacancies would automatically occur in the event the new officials did not take the oath of office on that day. ° Someiimes politicians cause want and misery in order to gain personal advantage. Such seems to be the atti- tude of the camouflaged presidential candidacy of Governor John W. Brick- er of Ohio, which has involved him in a harrowin gembarassment with even more harrowing effects upon thousands of unemployed in Cleveland who are cesperately clamoring for food in a city that is prosperous and booming. There: isn't qny excuse for people starving in Cleveland. The town is booming with steel production at ca- pacity. The city could stand adequate taxation to finance relief costs, but the state legislature has refused to grant it power to impose the necessary taxes. The legislature could save the situation in a few days, but Gov. John Bricker will not call the legislature into session because he wants to make a record for economy before the Re- publican national convention meets. If he sits tight now he can clean up this year with a surplus of perhaps five million dollars and offer himself as an economical administrator if he were to go to Washington. But those who are starving jn Cleveland surely have no love for Bricker's economy. ° The more we view the European situation the more disgusting it is. Big Russia—>50 times as strong as little Finland—has opened war to “protect” herself from her tiny nei- ¢hbor. Russian radios have been | ‘busy calling the Finns “dirty dogs.” Stalin absolutely dominates all in Russia, and the radios too. It is to be remembered that the Russian people get only the misinformation that is handed them. Hence the emo- tion whipping that went on before [ the big bear struck. Under a dicta- torship black can be made white by { merely never mentioning black. So i avhat we have been witnessing is a systematic rabble rousing directed at 180,000,000 people who are in no shape to learn the other side. And all of this was preliminary to the subjugation of a small, efficient, self-supporting, respecting, bath ta- king and debt paying country by an elephantine neighbor which for so many years up to now has been pi- ously prating against imperialism. The criminal assault which has oc- curred rivals the ravishment of Bel- gium. Following almost immediately the holiday period will be another peol- | itical season in Pennsylvania, and in Cambria county. Many candidates will take the field in January in an effort to capture nominations in the April primary for state offices, and for congress, the state senate and seats in the General Assembly. And ihree months is considered little enough time to cover the state of Pennsylvania. ~ ° Ordinarily the spring primary in an even numbered year is held in May, but in a presidential year the prim: *v was advanced a month a num- ber of years ago because of difficulty expe: ced in obtaining certifications of national delegates elected in time {or the national conventions of the ma- jor parties in June, particularly when there were close delegate contests in- volvinz recounts, etc. following the _— TT the Senator is the original Roose- velt third-term advocate. Republi- can leaders and dopesters in the | state are placing former Senator Dave Reed as a likely candidate, and Justice John W. Kephart, who will retire from the bench at the end of the year also is being talked of. However Philadelphia and east- | ern state Republicans insist the nom- iness should come from the eastern portion of the state. Kephart would be regarded as a westerner because of his Cambria county residence. ° Every time we look in the empty windows of the Patton Liquor store, | they have been crying for something | to fill them. And when we consider all | the liquor stores that resemble ours, | we can't help but feel that a nice dis- | play of “wet” goods would make the | appearance at least more prosperous. | Governor James, shortly after he was Governor banned displays in the win- | dows. Now, sensibly, steps are being | taken to change the funereal appear- | ance of state store exteriors. Displays | ! and placords advertising the scenic | beauties and industrial advantages of | Pennsylvania, and plugging highway | safety, Red Cross and similar drives, | are to be placed in the windows. (May- | be Arthur will put his picture there, | too. His magazine ads lead one to be- lieve he is responsible for prosperity, | { scenery and all.) However, the bene- | | fits obtained from stripping store win- | dows of merchandise that the state sells inside was never too Be But if bottles are to be frowned on, | there is still no reason why good dis- | play space should go to waste. Dress- | ing up the state store windows in the | new mode will at least make them a | lot more presentable. . Jobless workers in the United Sta- tes in October totalled 8,149,000, the lowest estimate since November 1937 The National Industrial Conference Board announces. Unusual increases in most manufacturing industries, notably automobiles and steel, more than offset the seasonal decline in farm work. » The sixteenth decennial census, to start on or about January 2nd is to be the greatest of all information ga- thering projects yet attempted by the | federal government. Combined with the decennial census—the constitution provides for an enumeration of Unit- ed States population every 10 years— | will be the regular five year agricul- tural inventory, the biennial census of manufacturers, and the decennial census of mines. Many things have happened in the nation since the last population census in 1330. People have | been driven from certain areas by dust storms and floods. Others have | changed their homes in search of employment. Factories have been re- located. New crops have been devel- oped. No. business can operate with- | out taking an occasional inventory, | and after all, the government is a bus- | iness. In 1940 our nation is going to take the biggest inventory of all time. The e2nsus will give a new, accurate and up to date balance sheet of our people, our industries and our resour- | ces. According to the census bureau, the 1940 sum up will be “broad in scope.” In addition to population, ag- riculture, manufactures and mines, designated as the principal groups, | statistics will be gathered on business i employment and occupation, drainage, irrigation and housing. In area the project will spread half way around | the world. Canvassers who will gath- er the data, will visit every nook and cranny from Maine to Guam, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Is- lands, the Panama Canal Zone and numerous small islands on the Pacif- | ic.
