NO WORK IN FLORIDA
An appeal to Pennsylvania workers not to come to Florida in goajrch
of work has been received by Secretary of Labor sad Industry Lewis G.
Hines from Parks Glover, Chairman
of the Florida Industrial Commission.
"There are ao jobs available in
Florida at this time," Mr. Glover explained, "and persons coming here
to seek emjploytnient in national defense projects or other industries
are doomed to disseppointmlent. No
worker, either skilled or unskilled,
should migrate to this state unless
he haa first received a definite offer of employment."
Thousands of Florida workers are
registered with the Florida State
Employment Service, ready to fUl
any job opening which might occur,
Mr. Glover pointed out, and Florida
employers prefer local residents.
Penmsylvanians who contemplate
going te another state in search of
work should check with tfaeir nearest Pennsylvania State l""mtplo-*mient
office, Secretary Hines urged. -Thru
the nation-wide clearance system,
the State Employmerst Service always haa information about jcb opportunities in other states, and can
save tits worker a needless waste of
time and money.

CHRISTMAS
A star in the East, a bright shining
tap
No one to greet HIM who came
down to die.
No room in the Inn, nowhere to lay,
No bed for HIM but new mpwn hay.
EASTER
A cross on the hill, a face looking
ap
A plea to the Father, not refusing
'the cup
Of suffering and pain, only thinking
of you
Can you take your cup, and Uke
HIM be true?
RESURRECTION
A stone rolled away, a bright- shin-:
lag Ught
A promise of Ufe, and a promise of
might.
To him' who overcometh, a promise
<ao blest
With HIM evermore, the Haven of
rest.

SOME MORE ISMS
BuUiwru—If you can't sling the
bull, hay a good fork aad spread it.
It wiU do mpre good tfaat way.
Optimism—Forget the cows and
milk, let the bull take care of himself. Join ihe Red Cross and bay
Christmas seals, the rest wiU adjust
itself.
Pessimism—I'm licked before I
start, no money to buy gasoline or
booze. Hitler will come over and
purge the Dempcratic party, and. we
will have to start over again.
Militaryism—Forget the spuds you
are going to pare in your dreams
and think about what you wttl learn
if you wfll apply yourself to your
job, or fitting yourself to stop A-
dolph.
Don't think cf hardship; there
isn't sny. You will learn a good
trade, along with learning to be a
soldier. That's worth a year of your
life, if anything more. You would
waste that year playing pinochle
with the gang.
Now that the isms have been taken care of, lets think of the New
Year, what it means to us as a people, what chances you will have to
better our community by better living and team work to help our
neighbors, not forgetting that the
poor and tha preacher must live also.
Let ua adjust ourselves so that
fetter the old temis have been taken
care of, we can appreciate Americanism in ita true Ught, not forgetting that America is what ita citizens may want it to be. No dictator
can tell Americans what to do, how-
to work, when to work or when to
play. We know all tha answers, we
began learning them back in 1776.
Forget the calamity howler, do
your job, the world wont go to the
doga, tbe dogs wouldn't ayafpl, it.
Think of the editor. Be sura yoa
pay. your back, *"uJȣ'*ription2-jp   that
Tta (T'Tnlil mtg
Shaver that we must be kind to tiie
editor, as he helps to mold public o-
pinion, and that if aom|e of his opinions if properly moulded might
cause us to leave town in a hurry,
believe it or not.
Remember the old town is what
you make it.

DON'T DRIVE WHILE TIPSY
Traffic tragedies   due to "tipsy"
driving    are warned    agairjj *i
holiday   safety  bulletin   is
the 'Keystone Automobile Club.
"In extending to motorists tha
greetings of the Yuletide season,"
the bulletin reads, "the Club *tor>
cerely hopes that motorists wfll
not permit alcoholic Christmas
'cheer' to sadden homes this year,
as in the past.
"Tipsy driving aa everyone
should know, has been responsible
for many deaths and injuries. This
indefensible practice has, unfortunately, been particularly prevalent
in the Christmas holiday season,
with heartrendering traffic tragedies bringing sorrow and distress
to households preparing for the
happiest festival of the year.
"It is sad but true that maay
motorists who customarily adhere
strictly to the code of careful
driving relax somewhat under the
holiday influence aad take chances
they Uve to regret.
"It is our sincere hope that
Christmas and New Year driving
thte season will be marked by ao- :
briety. The motorist who baa been
drinking has no business behind
the driving wheel of a motor
vehicle at any time. He moat positively has no business trying to
-pilot a car  through holiday traffic
