AS long as the country continues
to come to Alabama for nearly half
of its castiron pipe requirements and
as long as the country continues~to
grow and build water and gas mains,
storehouses, factories and residences
the demand for Birmingham pipe
will grow. The developments in steel
rest on the underpining of strategic
position for serving the Southeast and
the export trade. The world is a great
market and is the sales territory of
Birmingham steel products. Diversi-

steel because iron and steel mills and
furnaces employ tens of thousands of
men needing the things that diversi-
fled industry produces.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
We seem to be winding up
about the worst disaster season
the south has yet had. The Red
Cross has dealt-the past four
m onths-with an unusual num-
Der of serious situations. 1t Is
a widely recognized fact that the
Red Cross is thoroughly active In
this type of relief and this func-
ton has widened so with the in
creased resources of the organi-
cation that we are naturally
looked to by the sufferers. Prob
ably the principal reason for our
speed in answering is that while
no one can tell beforehand when,
where or what disaster will
strike, the Red ross-your local
chapter with the other 3.500-is
ready.
That was not always so. Be-
fore there was Red Cross. disas-
tiers stood for frightful after

ed disaster relief is very import
ant to the rural south and i'm
portant to our cities. 1t is fact
that the little settlement wiped
out by tornado does not excite
public sympathy to the point of
giving that well-organized relief
that saves the community and
keeps it's members from aban-
doning the soil. The pauperized

The Lcgal-Aid Bureau
To the Editor Of The Age-Herald:
I read with much interest in
Saturdays Age-Herald that the
Chamber of Commerce contem-
plates the establishment of a
legal aid bureau. The need of
legal protection for those finan-
cially unable to secure the SER
vices of a lawyer has long been
felt. However. this protection
would naturally have to be re-
stricted to those entitled to these
services.
During several years expert
ence which has kept me constant
ly in touch with local conditions
many cases have come under my
observation where much suffer-
ing would have been prevented
could the services of lawyer
have been secured. Upon investi-
