The result was that excitable
club owners h d no chance "a
browbeat officials and Influence

when you realize that Just
two years ago club owners were

see what the change meant"
declared Graham r. Smith. gen.
eral manager of the Lions.
Now we often never see the
officials except on the field"
Popoff coaches and owners also
felt Layden'S lash this year. He
fined Earl GREASY Neale, the
Philadelphia Eagles coach. and
George Halas of the Chicago Bears
for going on the field of play. And
he also took a clip Of the big
bankroll lugged by Dan Topping
the Brooklyn's multimilliOnaire
owner. II may not have hurt Top
pings bank balance but 1t did
iniure his dignity.
Another ruling which met with
the approval OF almost all club
owners was LaydenS ultimatmn
10 Buff Donell, the Pittsburgh
Steelers' coach, that he was
. through as a pro coach if he in
sisted on going with the Duqucsne
team TO the West Coast. Buff
bowed out and Layden's ruling
stuck.
NO CHANCE FOR WRANGLES
Layden has not only given the
league good public representation
but has shown a stiff backbone m

council of owners sometimes
wrangled for hours over som e

Building for
Bigger Business

. Now this farmer owned
cooperative is expanding to meet
the bigger business it enjoys. 1t
has built the tallest terminal
grain elevator in the world at
Superior, Wis, and sub-terminals
at Lewistown and Shelby, Mont.
These will handle more than six
million bushels. How is it able
to do this? AS member of the
Chamber Of Commerce, Minnea-
polls and the Board of Trade,
Duluth, it is required to charge
a commission on each bushel of
grain handled. After costs of
operation are paid, the remain
der, or profit, is either turned
back to the shareholders or it is
set apart as a reserve to build
equipment necessary, such as
these big elevators erected to
handle the farmers business.
Those terminal elevators are built
from the money that, in times
past, went to those who "sowed
not, neither did they reap"
. That is why the Farmers
Union Grain Terminal Associa-
ton has become the largest CO.
operative terminal grain market
ing agency in the United States.
That is why its amazing growth
continues. 1t has had careful,
efficient and experienced man
agement and it is backed, owned
and maintained by farmers for
farmers.

you want on marketing-how to
get a loan from the Commodity
Credit Corporation which will
net you a better price, write to
this farmer owned association
whether you are member
of the Farmers Union or stock
holder in the local cooperative
or motif you are real, honest
dirt farmer-we go the limit to
help you, at no added cost to
you.

Democracy in
Grain Marketing
@ Its success is the success

@ It's success is the success
of real democracy in the econom-
ic world. The Farmers Union
Grain Terminal Association is a
democratic institution. 1t is
private corporation as much as
any that exists in the United
States and it seeks profits for it's
shareholders, just as do other
corporations. 1t calls these prof
it's earnings" because it turns
them back to the shareholders,
not on a basis of number of
shares owned but on the amount
of grain and business the share
holder has transacted with his
corporation.

Privately Owned
By Farmers
. Only those who actually

o Only those who actually
produce the grain - "dirt farm
ers" - can be shareholders. A
local cooperative elevator asso-
citation, made up of such farm
ers, may own shares in the Farm

citation. At this writing nearly
300 such elevators are sharehold-
ers. 1t acts as the marketing
agency for such elevators at the
terminals, Minneapolis, st. Paul,
Duluth and Superior. 1t has
been doing that. In it's first year
of business (June 1, 1888 to May
81, 1880 it marketed Is million
bushels. Next year it marketed
% million bushels. So far this
year it has marketed and han
died for government loans more
than it handled the whole previ-
GUS year. The 1941 crop has just
begun to roll in!

Growth

opened for business the morning
of June 1, 1888, in a rented Of

the little acorn from which grew,
in marvelously short time,
great tree, with branches spread

little more than three years of
existence, it serves the producers
of that vast territory in market

and in protecting them in every

 TO RARE DISEASE
Dominic Zonlpro Given Nu- merous Blood Transfu-

GAS RATIONINC
 TO BRING PROTEST
Canada Doesn't Limit Amount, Simply Regu-
 Iates Hours of Sale

William A. Thibodeau, General Manager of the Automobile Legal Association GA. l.. Al warned today that any attempt to ration gasoline to motorists on the eastern sea- board states in advance of similar rationing in Canada will meet with serious opposition on the part of all motorists and the many thou sands who benefit through the tour ing industry.
 A telegram received from D. R. Oliver, Director of the Travel and Publicity Bureau of the Province of Ontario, states,
 "StOries that gasoline Is ration
 cd in Canada to fifteen gallons
 per month absolutely untrue stop
 there si no limit at the present
 time on the amount of gas Cam
 adians or Americans may buy
 stop our only restrictions concern
 hours of sale stop no one can buy
 gasoline on Sunday or between
 seven o'clock the evening of any
 week day and seven o'clock of the
 following nOrning.1
 Tn commenting on the situation, MT. Thibdoeau said: While every one is willing to cooperate to con serve gasoline for national defense, motorists will not tolerate unfair ness and injustice. Everyone knows that Canada receives its gasoline from the United States and If San adians can purchase unlimited quantities, as stated in this tele- gram, and United States citizens are restricted to specified amounts the reaction will be extremely unfavor- able and will severely damage tae voluntary cooperation necessary to conserve gasoline"

State Ranks High In
 Industrial Hygiene
Second Among List of lo States Where Field Studies
 Were Made in l04O

'"These field studies were the re- suit either of planned investigative programs or the requests of indus tryl, labor and other interested groups" the official organ of the Connecticut State Medical Society reports.
 'In respect to studies made by request Connecticut leads all other states with 103 out of a total of 327, which Is over double the num- Der of the second state, California, which reports A."
 The article says that it is inter esting to note that 36 per cent of the requests for investigations came from labor or those administrative agencies whose chief function deals with the welfare of workers. In fact, 78 per cent of all the requests made came from labor and indust- try, with only g per cent coming from local health agencies and other organizations. This finding clearly indicates the recognition on the part of industry and labor of the existence of potential hazards and desire to do something about them"
 The Journal also comments that much still needs to be done to stim- ulate the reporting of absenteeism due to disability and still more needs to be done with reference to the follow-up work on occupational diseases.
 The Connecticut State Medical Society has for a long time been interested in industrial hygiene problems through its committee on industrial health under the chair mansiip of Dr. Clifford Kuh, of New Haven. As more workers are employed for longer hours each week in Connecticut factories en- gagged in vital defense production, the society feels that even more attention must be paid in the iIn- mediate future to the health of the factory worker.
