Will Business Stop Congress 7• Santa's Chief Assistant
Wha t i. his na me? \Vhy. yOll know. It's "Pop", or "Daddy"; or to be more formal, "Father", H ow does Da d auist Sa nta 1 One way is to find out what the litlle children in the family want, so that he ca n tell Santa. Another way is to supplement Santa's gifts by giving his loved ones things he knows they \Vnnt. or need, and things that fathers want their children and wives to have. How can fa thers d o thi.? Most fathers depend on the weekly pay envelope. They work hard for it. 80 that all through the year and especially at Christmas the family can be well fed. nicely clothed and comfortably housed. These nre the elementary things, and Dad adds on all the other comforts he can afford. H ow can h e continue thi.? Sometimes. in serious moments, father wonders what will happen to Christmas trees, warm fires, pretty dresses, if he should be taken away. Then he finds that he can arrange a substitute for the pay envelope from his employer, which will continue to provide funds for the needs and comforts of life. The same motive which leads him to tell Santa the simple wants of the littlest child leads him to set aside and invest a definite part of his pay to buy life insur ance; and he nrranges it so that the Union Cooperati\'e will pay for n definite time a regular monthly income out of the proceeds of the insurance. The monthly insurance check to his loved ones is Dad's way o{ continui ng the pny envelope. nnd thus continuing the comforts and neceMlilies which he want.'i his wife and children to have. A monthly income plan is a fine substitute for a pay enve lope. and Union Cooperative can furnish this protection. It is a wonderful Christmas Gift to the family.

Station WCFL, the Voice of Labor, has the unique distinction of having had its wave length voted diree:tly to it by Congress rather than havi ng had it allocated by the Federal Radio CommiSllion. \VeFL is now building a new station and is seek ing to increase its wattage. It alllO ex pects to ask Congre8ll or the Federal Ra,jiu CUllln,juiun fur a clear channel. It is feared that enemies oC WCFL and labor in the radio broadcasting field will oppose the granting oC the clear channel right on the grounds that WCI"L is now commercialized due to its affiliation with this small group of commercial lltations.

This arrangement, it is believed, will guarantee that labor's influence in radio will be widened rather than cur tailed by the new arrangement. A record of broadcasting by WCFL recently made by C. P. McAssey, adver tilling manager of the station, reveals the labor character of the broadcasts and the growing influence of that station.
