I said there is only one paper for the work- ing class. That js the Daily Worker. He said he did not read it, so I told him to read the Daily Worker and to find out for himself. I was talking to Phil D'Agostino, one of the A.

DAILY WORKER STREET SALES Chicago, Ill, Comrade Editor: I haven't seen eny articles giving advice for street sales of the “Daily.” I think there would be a decided jump in street sales if the salesmen would quote fro mthe heads and news in hawking the paper. Emphasis should be laid on such items as relief cuts, relief victories, strikes, police terror, lynchings, Scottsboro news, U.S.8.R. acomplishments, exposures of fascism in the U. S., etc. In general, the news on the front page should be such as has a broad appeal to workers as a class, not just to small sections. However, I think the “Daily” is continually improving in this respect. The next task is to impress on all salesmen and Panes how to utilize this broad appeal in getting new readers. A. C. UNIT GETS WORKERS CLUB TO HELP IN “DAILY” DRIVE Dear Comrade: Unit 4 of the Rockford Section, tn discussing the problem of raising funds for the Daily Worker, decided to ask a sympathetic organization, the Scandinavian Workers Club of Rockford, to assist in the running of an affair, The club, when approached, readily agreed to do so, non-Party workers even insisting that the club do~ nate its hall free of charge, which was unanimously agreed upon. The result was very good, the sum of $7.65 | ¢ being raised through the holding of this affair. Members of the club wanted the “Daily” in the club rooms so it was decided that a half a year’s sub be taken out of the profits, the rest going as a donation from the club and unit jointly. This shows that the “Daily” has won the confidence of the masses and that the Party units and in-| {ie dividual members can get very ready response for the support of the Daily Worker. ‘The unit wishes to express its ap- preciation of the greatly improved stories from tiie Middle West and the paper that is now being put cut, with jj animals are killed. ej may jus Learned Value of “Daily’ ’ | New Reader er Sends His | Thanks for “Real Good Workers’ Paper” | (By a Leather Worker Correspondent) GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y—I am a leather worker in Gloversville. I | started to read the paper during our strike. Although a new reader, per- mit me to state something about my mill. Iam working for the Wood & Hyde Co. Two years ago Mr. Hyde invited us to a gathering. He told us to bring our wives or sweethearts. They treat- ed us with cider and doughnuts. Mr. Hyde, Jr., who spends his leisure time in Hollywood and Africa, came and showed moving pictures how the Mr. Hyde lec- tured for us and promised a real good season. Then he gave every one of us a bushel of apples which he did not have to pay for because he got it from his uncle's farm. Many of us workers thought he was our friend. One week later we found that the apples cost us a lot of money. He cut our wages. We had two wage cuts in four weeks. The brushers’ pay was cut 33-1/3 per cent and then he cut 15 per cent more in other departments. Also big cuts in the beam shop. But now we are organized. We have a union, This is our best Christmas present because we feel we fought for our rights and got it. We received a raise in pay of about 25 per cent and some shops got more. As for Mr. Hyde, Jr., he is the over- head that draws $5,000 a year from our hard earned money. He spends his time in Hollywood. He would not even step into the mill. The smell is not good for him. ‘The only thing he did when he was home was to collect, from us workers money for the Home Fund Charity. He got from us $5 a year. But when we were on strike the Home Fund told us— “No money,” and it is being control- led only by the bosses while we pay for it. Lots of thanks for your real good workers’ paper. such features as Mike Gold, the very witty Doctor Luttinger, the sport re- views (could they be more simplified in language?) and the home column. The latter column should have the est support possible because of the general low level of political under- standing among the women. In closing, the unit calls upon the units in the Rockford Section to in- crease their activities for the “Daily.” The $15 which we have raised in our units so far is not the best results we could have attained if we really worked, and we call upon the other in the section to pass this sum. io be back with more jortly, let us have real ‘4 work for our FIGHI- ING DAILY WORKER. | We promise D.

The Greek Workers’ colony, under the leadership of the Greek Work- ers Educational Club, the first for- eign language group to fulfill its quota, $40, will raise at least $10 extra for the new press. Flint, Mich., raised $44.63, one worker alone, J. F. help the “Daily” install its new press. Flint will raise at least $50. Grand Rarids, Mich., with quota of $50, is already credited with $54.77, with | good prospects that the total will reach over $75 in the very new | future. Section 1, raised $212.65 on a quota of $150; section 3, $78.17 on a quota of $50; section 4, $130.38 on a pledge of $125; section 5, $275.05 on a quota of $200; section 8, $244.80 on a quota of $200; section 2, $124.36 on a quota of $150; section 7, $238.23 on a quota of $300. There is no doubt that the last two sections will soon raise their full quotas, and more than go over the top to help the Daily Worker meet the expense of the new press. The $40,000 drive in this district has already shown a greater deter- mination and cooperation on the part of workers, party members, workers’ organizations to do their full share to support our fighting paper than any previous similar drive. 500 Prospect Club Tenth Anniversary NEW YORK —The Prospect Workers Club is the first workers’ organization to announce officially that it will participate one hun- dred per cent in the tenth anni- versary celebration of the Daily Worker here on Saturday evening, Dec. 30 in the Bronx Coliseum, Its membership, 500 strong, will march into the large Coliseum, fly- ing the club’s banner.

Most states have laws regulating the practice of podiatry (chiro+ pody); in some of them the title must be earned before they can practice. In New York State only one college is ee ie e ailments.
