Observation-Disclosures the in
w vestigation of West Virginia's
silicosis horror is the hope that
the doom Of the Gauley Bridge
tunnel workers may be dramatized
so effectively as to safeguard the
lives of thousands more who face
The perils of occupational disease.
The parade Of walking dead
men" who breathed the fatal silica
dust while drilling the tunnel ard
who have been summoned before
CONGRESSMAN Vito Marcantonio's
House labor subcommittee to tell
their story has serious purpose.
Many other men, still strong
and healthy, are exposed to equal
dangers, according to MarcGn-
tonic, for huge labor surplus in
this country forces workmen into
Jobs which they might be able to
spurn in normal times.
First, Marcantonio-who is re.
sponsible for the inquiry-hopes TO
induce the Department of Labor tC
appoint board of three to make
an exhaustive study with the aim
of future prevention.
DERHAPS, Marcantonio says, the
l. narrowing tale of Gauley
Bridge will make the country
"silicosis.conscious" and state leg
islatures will make silicosis a CON-
pensable disease under workmcn's
compensation laws. Only five
states now do so, he says.
State laws providing safeguards
would avert repetitions of GauIey
Bridge. According to Marcantonio,
silicosis is a hazard in mining, ore
milling, stone and cement quarry.

Getting Ourselves Told

Of course our form of govern
mont which lodges power in the
people, places on the people the
r"crcd obligation to use that pow
"r wisely and faithfully. SO far,
We have not done that very well.
We could have q magnificent
government, wonderfully an d
hountirully administered, if all
our voters would stop selling their
votes fer q dollar, or job, or
= special personal benefit, and
would study the needs Of the
country, thinking with their brains
and their consciences instead Of
with their prciudiccs, and would
Faithfully cast their ballots ac-
cording to their highest light.
no matter what the sct-up at
Washington, our governmental
conditions can never be whole
some and efficient so long as
there is so much rottenness and
inadoQuacr in statc and local gov
e1mmcnts. No mottcr how admir-
?b!a the movement that starts
from Washington, it will be faint
cd by the time it has filtered
through corrupt state and munic-
ipal political machines.

There isn't any secret about
it-you'll either have to lead an
unSocial calorie life or discard
your hopes of a slim figure. The
way of the reducer is clearly
marked on this score, and it
means renouncing the tasty
dishes that go with bridges, teas
and cocktail parties.
The good things on the social
menu may seem trivial, but they
come calorifically high. Salads,
sandwiches and rich confections
run to fats, sugars and Starches,
and give you more than enough
calories and less than enough
food for a meal. Result? You
must eat again.
Along with cocktails, it is easy
enough to nibble and sip 500
calories in two hours time. At
the most, you burn 10 calories
per hour sitting and talking,
which leaves quite a margin! Not
only that, but your alcohol calo-
ries cannot be stored.
