SMALL FRY STUDY STORES
BANGOR, Me. </P)—A tiny store
set up in the classroom is helping
Mary Snow School second graders
learn their three R’s and see how 1
to do mother’s shopping ably and)
courteously.
Arithmetic, language lessons
and their stories are woven into
conduct of the store and, says Miss
Marjorie Knaide, teacher, followed
with great enthusiasm.
One week the shop is the “Snow
Toy Store,” where the youngsters
buy with “play” money toys of
their own they have lent. The next
week it is a grocery stocked with
empty food cartons and cans
brought from home.
The pupils are taught store eti- |

Ball Introduces
Labor Legislation «:
WASHINGTON, 0<P) — Senator
Ball <R.-Minn.» today introduced
legislation to bar all labor con
tracts which make either member
ship or non-membership in a union
a condition of employment.
The bill would outlaw:
1. Closed shop contracts. These
require a worker to join a union
before he can be hired.
2. Union shop agreements. Un
der these an employer may hire a
non-union man but he must join a 1
union within a certain period.
3. Maintenance of membership
contracts. Under such contracts,
no one is compelled to join a
union, but those who do join must
maintain membership during the
life of the contract, or lose their
job.
Ball’s bill also would specifical
ly prohibit the so-called “yellow
dog” contract, under which em- ^
ployers make non-membership in
a union a condiiton of employment.
Actually, these contracts, al
ready are banned under the Nor
ris-LaGuardia act of 1932.

about 50 pounds of honey yearly.
