BROWN •Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District ■aiLSiuaggjJL" C I f there is doubt in the mind o f any citizen ns to the intention o f the Roosevelt Administration to take the United States into active'participation in the war against the Axis Powers it should certainly be dispelled as a result o f happenings and statements o f the past week. Following the Presi dent’s September 11th speech, in which he announced his orders to the Navy to bunt down Axis war craft and to “ shoot on sight,"* has come the announcement from Navy Secretary Knox telling o f convoying by Ameri­ can warships, and the statement by the president that he would soon re­ quest repeal o f the Neutrality Act and the arming o f United States mer­ chant ships. 'The Presidential an­ nouncement came soon after Secretary o f Navy Knox, in a public address, de­ manded repeal o f the Neutrality Act and insisted that President Roosevelt be given authority to use the Army. Wherever he believes it to be needed. It is now being predicted that the Prsident will, within the next week or ten days, officially request the Con­ gress to repeal or drastically amend •the Neutrality Act. Already Admini­ stration spokesmen in Congress are busy preparing such legislation. Bilis are also being written to legalize the arming of American merchant ships. .

Secretary o f the Treasury Mergentheau tossed a verbal jmmb- ( shell Into the proceedings when he ad­ vocated, that profits o f all corporation* .«nd other industrial and business con­ cerns be limited to six' percent on the invested capital, with all. earnings 'above that percentage being taken by the government through taxation. Mr. Morgentheau demanded that price ceilings be fixed for all commodities, including farm products. However, ' like Barnard Baruch who testified be­ fore him, the Secretary o f the Treas­ ury voiced opposition to any attempt to fix wages, on the theory that the placing o f a ceiling on wages would result in workmen being forced into “ involuntary servitude.” "When asked by the committee members as to whether draftees, Serving in the Army for $21.00 a month, were victims Of “involuntary servitude” the Witnesses had no answer. As a result o f the Sec­ retary o f the Treasury's advocacy that all profits be limited to six percent predicted by many-legislators, news­ papermen and others here, that the Administration will soon bring In some sort o f legislation directed to­ ward that end.

Mr. Marshall has been present each, morning and evening since school opened' to safeguard our pupils from the. danger o f speeding automobiles, and trucks. This service has been en­ tirely voluntary on his part. The school authorities and pupils are high­ ly appreciative o f his interest in be­ half o f the safety of those who walk to and from school. Also, the school safety zone for tise in crossing the streets as well as the “ No Parking” signs placed there by Mr. Marshall were much needed and very much appreciated by every* one, A school Safety Patrol is being’ or­ ganized to assist the officer in this work. Red Flags with the word STOP printed inwhite letters placed on bam boo rods will be used by the patrol in bringing traffic to a stop while pu­ pils are crossing the street. . Also, each school bus is also pro­ vided with a student patrol equipped with a red fiag. The duty o f the school bus patrol will be to see that all traf­ fic from both directions is brought to a stop while, pupils are getting on nr off the buses on the routes. The School Patrol is an important part o f the safety program sponsored by the State Highway Department. The School Patrol system; is found not only in Ohio but in practically" every other state. As -a further safeguard from traffic pupils are requested to not cross the street at any place except in front o f the school or at the intersections pro­ vided with traffic lights?* It is sug­ gested that parents impress upon their children the importance o f complying with the above request. It is well to' keep in mind that just one accident is one too many.. . Cafeteria Supper Mark Friday, October 17 on your calendar.
