BOYS WEEK By R. L. B., New York City. Beginning with May 9, we are going to have Boys’ Week. It is going to last one week up to May 16. On May 16 there is going to be a big parade, the Boys’ Week Parade. Boys’ Week is supposed to be for the benefit of the boys. But who is behind Boys’ Week, who is organizing it? Some rich millionaires and bosses who make millions of dollars out of child labor and don’t eare if the children grow up ignorant and crippled. Also the school authorities whose job it is to dope the minds of the workers’ children with all kinds of lies that will make them obedient to the bosses. Also the government which is the worst , enemy of the workers because it is always on the side of the bosses and always against the workers. ‘When the bosses, the Board of Education, and the government are backing up a thing it shows that that thing is bad for the workers and workers’ children. Also what does Boys’ Week do? It makes the chil- dren feel that the government and the bosses are good to them and doing them good things and so 4t makes them forget that the bosses and the gov- ernment are their enemies. It makes the children think the bosses and the school authorities and the government are their friends. This is not true; they fare their worst enemies. And that’s why Boys’ Weck fis a very bad thing for the workers. Workers’ children! Learn the truth about Boys’ ‘Week. It’s all a scheme to fool you. ‘ OUR LETTER BOX TEACHER LIES ABOUT RUSSIA Dear Comrades: One day my geography teacher Fegan to tell about Soviet Russia. She said it was jnot a happy country and the people were wild and «razy. She said that they were not educated and they were so wild that they killed the last ezar. e said that the people couldn’t read so they had put pictures on the stores instead of letter. For nstance, on a hat store they put a picture of a hat. I think this is all a lie. She said that even though they have a government it’s no good because the people are wild. This is all wrong because teacher wnly wants us to think that Soviet Russia is no good. I was going to stand up and tell her that Soviet Russia’s government was GOOD, but good or the WORKERS and not for the bosses like in the U. S.~Your comrade, A. Y. Ps SHE HATES ALL PRIESTS * ear Comrade: I am sending you ten cents for Ske picture buttons, But I am afraid that they will ict here too late. “We now have a new teacher, but we don’t salute » flag.

Then another scout said, “Don’t try to bring him in the troop, is a Bolshevik.” That just shows how afraid they of the Bolsheviks, Sim have a very strong group of Pioneers here in tamford to which I belong.

Laukkonen) Workers from all over the world are protesting against the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti. SACCO AND VANZETTI By SOPHIE TROTSK Y—Brownsville Pioneer. Two freedom fighters, two men of iron Are sentenced to their doom. Shall we let this unjustice pass thru When the nation is still in bloom? Shall those who fought for workers And workers, yes, we are, Lay their lives because the shirkers Are thirsty for human gore? Or perhaps we should let those Who live on our sweat Silence two of our defenders, Brave Sacco and Vanzetti. And yet: Thru iron bars Thru prison walls Their message they still send “Comrades fight onward for your rights Fight comrades, till the end!” Can “THEY” silence such strong voices That reach us far and near Can that mask of justice and freedom Continue at us to leer? Or shall we tear that mask asunder And see our brothers free. Come comrades choose, and choose the latter, On to one great victory! CAN YOU DRAW?

THE LITTLE GREY DOG (Continued) While the dog was running restlessly back and forth to find a safe place, Benjamin sat on the bank of the river, letting his tired, burning feet hang in the water. Suddenly he was dreadfully frightened and drew his feet back hastily. A large pointed head thrust itself thru the water, a gigantic mouth opened, showing two rows of dreadful teeth, and a deep voice growled, “A fine morsel, just right for breakfast.” Benjamin screamed aloud and the deg came run- ing quickly to him. Tho he was himself a little frightened, he whispered to Benjamin, “That is an alligator. Step back and let me speak to him.” The little boy obeyed and the dog addressed him- self with cajoling courtesy to the alligator, saying, “Excuse us for having come to your kingdom, mighty lord of the river, but we are fleeing from evil peo- ple and know that you with your power will be good enough to defend us.” \ The alligator felt flattered, drew his gigantic mouth into a friendly grin, and replied politely, “You are a clever animal. I am truly more mighty than peo- ple, and,” he agreed pensively, “neither are we as bad as they. But this creature that sat with his feet hangmg in the water is also a human being. Then why is he running away from his brothers?” And the shiny, greenish eyes of the alligator looked distrustfully at the dog. “You surely know, wise and mighty animal, that the rich people are merciless to the poor, as tho they were the wildest That is because there is no more greedy animal than this man. He is never satisfied, he always wants J drink and houses, hut e all, gold. That makes torn his parents, and beaten until the blood flowed. 1 advised him to run away. And now we beg that you help us, for any moment the servants of the rich man may appear and capture my little friend.” (To Be Continued). eee
