Camp Life Benefits
Greater Today

THIS year as never before in
the history OF our country
a lot of people will be in camp.
About a million-more or less
adults in the armies of the
United States will be in camp
and If past records are any
criterion, about 100000 chill
dren. boys and girls, will be
in Summer camps.
Both groups will be train
ing for the sterner duties of
life; one group for a possible
emergency and the other for
emergencies that may rise
some distance in the future.
/ have no doubt that many
mothers and fathers are per-
picked as 10 whether camp life
for the small fry" away from
parental care, among stran-
gers will be a good or bad ex-
perience for the youngsters.
My experience is that il is
always a good thing for them.
GOOD DISCIPLINE
I know of nothing more
wholesome than the attitude
of a Summer camp for chill
dren whether they come from
homes where money is plenti-
full or whether they come from
homes of the underprivileged.
In fact, 1 think the mingling
OF the two groups is one OF
the best parts of the expert
ence. and / am inclined 10 be-
lieve that at this the men who
are in military camps are
probably doing better because
many of them in the period
between the last war and this
one have been subjected to
the discipline OF Summer
camps for youngsters.
It is not necessary today
to sell the idea of the value
of the discipline Of camps.
The less Of a problem a child
is at home, the more good
camp does him. He learns
things about human contacts.
about self-reliance and about
nature that he will hardly
ever learn in any other way.
What I feel parents should
know is the great improve
ment that has been made by
directors of camps to safe
guard the physical health Of
children during their camp
residence. A certain number
of epidemics are bound to
occur.
BY improvements In pre-
venting epidemics which might
make camping dangerous, I
refer to the safeguarding of
water supplies and of food.
Contaminated water and con-
taminated milk have been the
cause OF the great epidemics
in the past.
IF IN DOUBT. ASK DOCTOR
The effect Of camp life upon
under-par children. Is, with
few exceptions. remarkably
good. One sees a little. weak
fellow start out in the Sum-
mer for camp and the very
fact that everybody there Is
leading an active life helps
him to come back brown and
husky.
OF course. when any doubt
exists, II is important that
the parents. the family physi-
clan and the camp director
should all confer in order to
make a decision as to whether
any given child Is likely to
benefit from camp discipline.

Strike Averted
As Coal Wage
DifferentiaI Ends

WASHINGTON, June 10. -
Threat of strike in the nations
soft coal fields was averted today
when the National Defense Medi-
alton Board announced that north
ern and southern operators and
the CLOS United Mine Workers
headed by John l.. Lewis, had
agreed TO accept its recommends
ton in the month-old wage con-
troversy.
The dispute had led TO a months
shutdown OF most OF the country's
soft coal mine in April. but the
government on May ] obtained a
back-to-work agreement pending
arbitration of the case by the
mediation board.
Sl-A-DAY INCREASE
The recommendation OF the
mediation board provided for a
S1-a-day wage increase to 81 for
miners in the Northern Appala-
chan fields. and a boost OF S140
a day 10 81 for union workers in
the Southern Appalachian fields
With the recommendations, the
historical wage differential be-
tween the two fields was wiped
out.
Under the agreement. operators
In the South will have TO give a
Sl.40 wage increase 10 miners
Northern operators will give only
a Sl-a-day increase.
William II. Davis, vice chairman
Of the mediation board, announced
that In accepting the northern
operators had made some slight
technical reservations. but he ex-
pressed belief that il would not
interfere with expansion Of a
contract between the Lewis union
and the operators. Referring 10
the long dispute between the
operators and miners. Davis said

"BEHIND THE SCENES IN
AMERICAN BUSINESS"
By John Croddock

NEW YORK, April 21.-BUSINESS-
From all sides come indications that the ex-
pansion of wage rates throughout the indus
trial scene has really got under way. It's the
old SUPERINTENDENT law. The fact that
the defense drive has gretly increased the
competition for skilled labor is main reason
why, generally, wage disputes are being
settled with increases in pay and, in addi-
ton, other pay increases are being granted
without much dispute. This war ~foreseen
several months ago when the quit rate (o1
workers voluntarily leaving one job to go to
another in similar field) began rising sharp
". Next question is how are "the rest OF US"
affected? Biggest group is composed of con-
sumers who do not generally share in the
higher wages; another group is the owners
of the businesses which are paying SAID
higher wages. Between them, these two
groups must pay for the increases-the first
through paying higher prices on goods whose
prices can be raised; the second, through
having to take reduced profits in cases where
prices cannot be upped sufficiently to match
rising wage costs Eventually-maybe-all
income goes up, and prices do the same.
Meanwhile the skilled worker segment of the
population is the main gamer.

however, are advised, and so find,

ings; that there is an immediate need
for the replacement or repair of the
toilet facilities in the cages, as we
found Z commodes to be utterly un-

therefrom were very evident; that

prisoners, were in a highly unsafe

ut least two fire escapes, one to be

the guard house was sorely in need
of repairs, as also the S~ergeant's resi-
dence, which is in a considerably run
down and delapidated condition, the
front porch of which can hardly be
walked across because of the rotten
flooring; because of the heat, we can
hardly conceive how the prisoners in
the upper story of the cage can sleep
there, and as a remedy for this, we
recommend more ventilation, and If
not too costly, attic fans.

ton to Your Honor for his capable

Goodman To TuckIe
Wood Friday
(By William Cathey)

Unable to check the Sunflower
lads in either game of a do~ublehead-
er last week, the Holmes Junior Col
lege baseball squad will make an eff
fort to check a three-game losing
streak Friday afternoon on their
home field provided the elements
permit.
Herman Snyder, who had the
toughest luck of any pitcher in the
league in the opening clash after
striking out 81 batters and losing 2
to 6, will probably be on the mound
for the Goodman lads.
Inability to hit in the clutches
and shaky fielding have combined
to work against the men of Coach j.
R. monk" Campbell. The Bulldogs
committed a total Of eight miscues
last week and were able to garner
just even hits in each tilt.
As the record now stands, the men
of Coach Campbell have won only
one game while losing three and the
situation now appears hopeless inso-
far as repeating as conference cham
pions is concerned. Russell Reed has
proved to be the only consistent hit
ter and fielder on the squad. His
work has been very satisfactory.
Charley Thomas ranks second on the
stick mark averages.

Wesson will journey up to Good
man Monday afternoon to tackles

TO be one of the best games of the
