Cooperation is not a senti­
ment— it is an economic neces­
sity.
The most effective gospel a
fellow can preach is to live an
upright life.

HAT our Association be­
stows many benefits upon
our membership is taken
too much for granted. Perhaps,
the greatest of these is the
opportunity that is afforded us
to work together toward our
goal — the stabilization of our
Industry. We ought to achieve
other goals, too. Among them
should be fraternal, philan­
thropic, cultural and patriotic.
Whatever the goals may be
makes little difference. What
does count is the development of
a kinship in thought and feeling
that binds us together with ties
which are not wholly the result
of proximity. A vital unity
results from working either in
a routine task or an uplifting
project. It extends beyond the
meeting room and enters upon
our inner lives and wider inter­
ests. Today, more than ever
before, do we fully realize and
appreciate this feeling of one­
ness that has fueled the fires of
our Association for nearly ten
years. It is this unified spirit
that makes it possible for us to
stay in business. Let us con­
tinue to fan the fire of enthu­
siasm with an earnest determi­
nation to work together in the
true Holiday Spirit.
T
In
modern prose all poetry
seems drowned,
Yet in ten thousand homes this
April night
An ancient people celebrate its
birth
To Freedom, with a reverential
mirth,
With customs quaint, and many
a hoaring rite
Waiting until, its tarnished
glories bright,
Its God shall be the God of all
the earth.”
— Israel Zangwill
"EASTER SPIRIT"
Truth-telling means courage.
When you reach the Great
Beyond you will not be asked to
what did you belong, but did you
live up to your obligations.
Every soul has a larger influ­
ence than it guesses, either for
good or evil.
Pride and selfishness drive out
the spirit of thankfulness. Hu­
mility develops it.
Every fellow creates his own
world and has to live in it.

MILLS EMPLOYEES GIVE A
WILLIE SHORE PARTY
250 employees of Mills Nov­
elty Company purchased tickets
for the Wednesday night, April
16, performance of “ See My
Lawyer,” starring Willie Shore,
Chicago’s favorite night club
performer. Willie is well-liked
by Mills folks, not only for his
humorous activities at the Hi-
Hat, but for the wonderful job
of emcee work he turned out at
the Mills Fiesta during the Coin
Show in January.
“ It’s our way of giving Willie
Shore some support and show­
ing him we are with him, wish­
ing him success, in his first
break on the stage,” stated a
Mills official.
Boston— To cut down messen­
ger boys’ time running after soft
drinks for staff members, Sta­
tion WEEI installed a coin-oper­
ated beverage dispenser.
"S E D E R -N IG H T"
“ Prosaic miles of streets stretch
all around,
Astir with restless, hurried life,
and spanned
By arches that with thund’rous
trains resound,
And throbbing wires that gal­
vanize the land;
Gin-palaces in tawdry splendor
stand;
The newsboys shriek of mangled
bodies found;
The last burlesque is playing in
the Strand—
Packard Pla-Mor remote control equipment pack* them in to Bergen's Sweet Shopp®'
