| The COMRADE Edited by the Young Young SECTION Pioneers of America and Farmers’ Children YOUNG PIONEER CAMP The Young Pioneers of, New York and New Jer- sey have begun their drive this year to establish a permanent Workers’ Children’s Camp, For the last two years hundreds of workers’ children have gone to Young Pioneers Camps, fortwo, three and four weeks, They have lived during that time in the open air, slept in tents, went on hikes, sang songs, played all kinds of out-door games, built camp fires, held interesting talks, etc. While in camp they knew they were in a Workers’ Children’s Camp and not in a bosses’ camp as the boy or girl scout camps. They knew that while they were playing and en- joying themselves, they were building their minds as well as their bodies for the workingclass. Comrades, this camp needs your support. You must get your friends to go there as well as your- self. For information, send your letters to Young Comrade Corner, 33 First Street, N. Y. C. THREE CHEERS FOR THE YOUNG PIONEER CAMP! oor | Our Letter Box Does Not Believe in Bible Study Dear Comrades: I enjoy reading your paper. IT took it to school and the children read the jokes and riddles. They enjoy them. But when they read about the Cantonese religion they asked me whether I believed it was right to have’ singing instead of bible study. I said that I did think it is lots better. They said, “I can’t help it if you don’t know any better.” I believe they should not have bible study. —MARGARET RAZMUS. Capitalists & Workers’ Children By JOSEPHINE DARGIS.: The workers make a living for the capitalists. But the capitalists pay no attention to the workers. Once I saw on the street a nice limousine with a chauffeur. In the car there was a beautiful dog look- ing out of the window. Out on the street was a forlorn boy with ragged. clothes, shivering with eold selling papers. He looked at the limousine with . sad face saying to himself, “I wish I had a dog’s * P What’s the truth about the capitalists? Workers make the millions for the capitalists, They give the money for building churches, and pay thousands of dollars to see boxing. Compare the workers’ chil- dren to the rich. The worker's child has for lunch only hard bread and butter. The rich have all kinds of dainties. Do they give the poor children any- thing? NO! When the poor children grow up they again make millions for those capitalists. THE LITTLE GREY p06 (Continued) Today traveling was more difficult than it had been yesterday, for Benjamin’s fect were blistered, he groaned and complained at every step. The dog comforted him, encouraged him, let him ride on his , surely the servants of the rich_man were some- the neighborhood, determined not to re- turn home without the boy. And even if they were not found, how far was it to the north? How would if Benjamin was already too tired to go further? : »Toward midnight they suddenly saw a fire burn- ing on the meadow. People must be there. The dog dragged the boy into some thick bushes, told him to keep still, crept softly toward the fire. A pot hung over the fire, and a blond man sat before it. Close by stood a wagon with large wheels, to which The dog looked at the man very searchingly. He looked different from the people.at home, had a very light skin, kind blue eyes; surely he was a northerner. But was he a good man? Then the dog remembered that only good people understand the language of animals, and the dog decided to tell him the story of little Be: Carefully he came closer to the fire and said softly, “Good evening, man. Are you a horth- erner?” (To Be Continued) ee (By L, Laukkonen) This picture was drawn by a Young Pioneer. It shows the farmers of America supporting Coolidge. Naturally, that’s a Bughouse Fable because the far- mers hate Coolidge. (Coolidge vetoed a bill that would have helped the farmers a little). By HERBERT GUREWITZ Oh, when will that day, that magnificent day Come to relieve us from our wretched prey? From the grip of those tyrants that rule this earth, With condemning hand, ahd iron girth. 2 Oh, when will it come? 1 dub you again, When man will be liberated from his unjust pain, And will throw off the yoke from those long bruised shoulders, And cast them off that use us as boulders. 38. That time shall come, yes, it shall come; When all will be happy and not only some. Then will we have our laugh, loud and long, And all the world will be nothing but song. 4, We will not be ruled like pigs and swine By the suckers and grafters who drink blood-wine. They shall not live by our work and toil Nor shall they feast while in sweat we boil. 5. There will be no slaves nor will there be masters And our lives will be less full of disasters, We shall have our day, dear brothers, but in due time When we and our kind shall be sublime.

Answer to Picture Question * By RAYMOND KOZUL The answer to the question “What is a vacation” published in the Young Comrade Section of May 6, 1927 is—-All school children receive a two-months vacation every year. The bosses and capitalists are doing this not because the children are going to get a rest but because the teachers demand it. Do you think that the teachers spend their vacations by go- ing abroad and visiting other countries. But we have to stay in our own city and find a job so that we may help our fathers. Not long ago we were studying about New York and our teacher was tell- ing us about her visit to the Niagara Falls and she thinks she has a lot of brains but she’s only got the brains of a one-year baby. RICH AND POOR By GEORGE YAKIM—Akron Pioneer Group. There’s a whole lot of difference between the rich and the poor boy. The rich boy gets whatever he wants. The poor boy has to work and even so he won't get what he wants because he can save but very little. e The rich boy or girl have all the pretty and good clothings. They can have candies, ice cream, toys or tickets to a show anytime. Did you ever see the clothes and toys of the poor kids? The rich children won't even look at them. ; The rich children have all the good meals they want. Big breakfast, big lunch, Big supper. All the tasty cookies and fruits. After a good supper they go to bed. Nice and warm beds in nice and warm rooms of their own, And the poor children? Well, they do mot eat too much, They can’t be too par- ticular either. Sometimes they are quite hungry . when about to leave to the school or to go to bed. As to the poor children’s bed, you know from ex- perience that. it is not very pleasant for 4 or 5 chil- dren sleeping in the same bed with the rest of the family in the same room which is not very warm either wintertime, but a hell summer nights.
