HEALTH SAVING
PLANS ADOPTED
Minneapolis Machine Com
pany Distributing Vitamin
Pills To It's Workers

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 12.-R-
A Minneapolis machine company
has adopted an unusual health
conservation program" distrlbut-
ing daily vitamin pills to all work
ers in move to keep manpoWer
at a maximum for the national
defense program.
Leighton Wilkie, president OF
Continental Machines, Inc, said
the company always faced a mass
exodus from work in February due
to colds contracted in the long
severe winters here. Often as
many as half the $50 employees
missed work.
''Our personal experience with
cod liver oil capsules and other
vitamin tablets when taken con-
sistently during the winter months
sthat they build up an effective
resistance to colds" Wilkie ex-
planned in "Steel' magazine. RE
Gently we decided to ration these
capsules to our men so that this
coming February we Will not lose
any such number of man hours.
I'VE never heard of anyone else
carrying out this particular kind
of Recommendation by making this
into an interesting project and
selling it to the men as we are.
This does not mean that we
subscribe to any such philosophy
as that of whipping the tired
horse On the contrary we agree
with Herbert Hoover's contention
that machines rather than men
should be called upon to bear the
brunt of the physical efforts re-
quired to meet the tremendous de-
mands for production"
Under the Continental plan, every
employe receives daily a folding
paper cup with the following state
ment printed at the bottom:
''This contains one capsule which
may be taken internally to add
essential vitamins to the diet"

Sacrament Discussed
In The Lesson-Sermon

Sacrament" was the subject
Of the lesson sermon in all Christ
Ian Science churches and societies
yesterday.
Golden Text: II Corinthians
1874. 1.-THE grace of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy
Ghost, be with you all"
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon were the
following from the Bible: "But
when the morning was now come,
Jesus stood On the shore: but the
disciples knew not that it was
Jesus. Then Jesus saith unto them,
Children, have ye any meat? They
answered him, No. Jesus saith unto
them, Come and dine. And none of
the disciples burst ask him, Who
art thou? knowing that it was the
Lord (John 21: 4,5,12;.
The lesson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook,
"Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures by Mary Baker
Eddy. "What contrast between
our Lords last supper and his
last spiritual breakfast with his
disciples in the bright morning
hours at the joyful meeting on the
shore of the Galilean Sea. This
spiritual meeting with our Lord
in the dawn of new light is the
morning meal which Christian
Scientists commemorate. They bow
before Christ, Truth, to receive
more of his reappearing and 81
lently to commune with the divine
Principle, Love. They celebrate
their Lords victory over death,
his probation in hte flesh after
death, it's exemplification of hui
man probation, and his spiritual
and final ascension above matter,
or the flesh, when he rose out of
material sight" pages "a and 35).

TRIBUNAL MAY ACT
ON NLRB QUESTION
Nav Determine VIII e t h e r
Board Can Order Employ
ment OF Union Men

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-(REThe
supreme court may act tomorrow
on litigation to determine whether
the Labor Board can order the
employment of men found to have
been denied work because of union
membership.
This question was presented in
a government appeal from a deci-
sion by the Federal Circuit Court
at New York holding that the
board did not have this power.
The board contended that two
men had been denied emplyment
because of union membership at
a Bisbee, Arizona, copper mine
owned by the Phelps Dodge cor
poration of New York.
Refusal to employ the men, the
board said, followed an unsuccess-
full strike in 1885. The board added
that the corporation also had re.
fused to permit any of the strikers
| to return to work.
The circuit court held that the
two men had been refused work
because of union membership. Il
ruled however, that they were moi
'enployes' and the board was
pany to offer them employment. :"
without power to order the com.
The government also sought a
Supreme court review of other
provisions of the Circuit court opin-
ion holding that:
l. The Labor board could not
order the reinstatement Of strik-
ing workers who had obtained reg
ular and substantially equivalent
employment with another com
pany.
2. The board, in making back.

duction of amounts which the re-
cipient had an opportunity to earn

ARMY PARACHUTE
unit IS FORMED
Battalion Capable Of Flying
Into Enemy Territory,
Taking Vital Points
Bv HAROLD TYLER

FORT BENNING, Ca, Jan IL
-(R-The United States army now
has a combat team capable OF
flying hundreds Of miles into
enemy territory, seizing and hold
ing vital points such as a1rports or
communications centers.
officers reported the 501st para
chute battalion up to full strengtn
of 412 men and "a officers, trained
and toughened for the strenuous
Job of dropping out OF alrplanes
and going into action quickly.
The 5O1st has been practlclng
dropping men a dozen at a time.
They can clear their transport ship
in 10 seconds, hit the ground in 70
seconds and race to their equip
ment, dropped from another ship,
in another few seconds.
Parachute troops spend most oil
their time on the ground training
for the split second precision re-
quired for such work. Vari-colored
parachutes are used by the fliers
hauling equipment, so that men
can unlock their harness and race
directly to the weapon or machine
they will operate. Practice is de-
veloping accuracy in placing the
equipment on the ground right With
the parachute troops.
Since starting with platoon,
experimenting with the idea OF
dropping a combat team more pow
erful than ordinary air infantry
(troops transported by air), Major
W. M. Miley in a few weeks has
built up a battalion, equipped an
elaborate training field and staged
regular demonstrations with his
men.
Officers insist that the parachute
troops put out more muscular work
than any other army organization.
The men and their commanders
start off each day with two and
a half mile trot around the flat
field they use for landing prac-
tice, then up steep hill. They
get the usual army calisthenics
drill, with another after lunch to
keep them timber.
Warmed up, the parachutists
then go out to a field that re-
sembles a circus practice ground
for acrobats and aerialists. Under
one wooden frame, soldiers swing
down an overhead trolley. Some
where between the start of their
ride and the eul of the trolley
track, a groundman yanks at a
rope and the parachutist comes
tumbling to earth.
The effect is that of a man dang
ling at the end of a pendulum.
The purpose is to train men to con-
troll the swing of parachute to
avoid being smashed into the
ground.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan.
12.-(AP)-Love, which has
been known to laugh at lock-
smiths, is circumventing hnmi-
grafton restrictions between
German-occupied Norway and

curing along the Norwegian
Swedish border, with Nor
wegian girls standing just with
in the boundary and their
Swedish sweethearts just over

When a couple is pronounc-

COLUMBUS COUNTY
NECRESS KILLED
Geraldine George Struck And
Fatally Hurt By Auto Oper-
ated By M. w. Pope

WHITEVILLE, Jan. 12.-Colum-
bus county had its first 1941 high
way fatality this afternoon when
Geraldine George, 14-year-old ne
gro girl, was struck and killed by
car on highway 701, three miles
north of Whiteville.
The machine which struck the
girl was driven by M. W. Pope, of
Hallsboro. The girl was said to
have just alighted from an auto
mobile driven by Shelton Lannon,
coloed, and occupied by Perry Bel
lamy, the girls foster-father.
She was said to have gone around
the hack of the machine from which
she had alighted, and walked di
rectly into the path of Pope's ma
chine, which was coming from the
opposite direction. Pope drove his
car off the road, down a four foot
embankment, in an effort to avoid
striking the girl. His car finally
struck a large stump and was
badly damaged. Pope himself was
slightly injured.
The girl was breathing when put
into car and carried to the hos
pital, but was pronounced dead up
on arrival at the Columbus county
hospital here.
The accident happened b t
1890 p. m. Acting time j. E.
Quinerly empaneled jury to view
the body, and set the inquest for
