Georgia Railroad Strike
Averted By Agreement

Atlanta (ILNS). - The threatened
strike of 375 train service employees
of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Coast
Railroad, whose lines are largely in
Georgia, has been averted, George W..
Stocking, chairman of mediation
board appointed by President Roose-
welt, announced here.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen and the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
have reached an agreement, but the
terms were not made public. The
strike was set for May 16 but post
poned.
The union charged that A. B. & c.
wage scales were $1.56 to $3.50 a day
below those paid by other roads.

that inner conviction which leads
workers to give their utmost for a
cause"
The speaker stressed the need for
wholehearted cooperation on the part
of both workers and employers if
America is to meet the challenge of
the "battle of production" which it
faces today. 1t can be achieved best,
he said, by giving labor that func-
tional, responsible part in the opera
ton of the defense program for which
it asks.
Referring to labor's fright to
strike" Watt said that the right to
strike is the right to work on suitable
terms. A ban on strikes, he added,
would be stupid.
"Where an employer has refused to
meet his workers on decent terms, any
attempt to strait-jacket labor would
be to break down morale and accumu
late grievances which would be de-
structive of production" Watt said.
Labor, he said, would be the first to
suffer if the rights of free speech, free
assembly and free press were to be
suspended or ignored. Labor" he
asserted, "seldom finds the press free
from prejudice against it."
Labor wants American liberties
fully and completely defended because
we know the vigor of our democracy
lies in the freedom of the minority to
criticize and suggest" Watt said.
Labor wants to preserve our free
dom so much that it will insist that
our liberties be defended against in
ternal sabotage as we'll as against ex-
ternal assault"
Subversive Elements Hit
The speaker denied that Commu-
nists, Nazis or Fascists have any right
to speak for American workers or
American democracy.
"This stage in our history may test
whether we are to survive as rep
resentative democracy. We can sur
vive, if the crucial test comes, only
if our people, as whole, are awake
and alert, united and determined to
preserve our system of government.
We can survive only if we can destroy
the rats who are gnawing away at the
foundation and walls of our store
house of freedom. We can survive,
only if we defeat within our gates
those who would destroy us, whether
they wear the swastika of the Nazis,
the black shirt of the Fascists or the
hammer and sickle of the Communists

erty and freedom"

DID YOU ever stop to think
that changing the colors in your

same refreshing effect on your
home that a cooling lake breeze
after a parching day has upon
you?
Or, If you have thought Of it..
have you ever done anything
about il? You should you
know. IT needn't be an expen-
sive undertaking.
Borrow a leaf from the mod
ernists. and try working entirely
with color for a decorative

Home Grown Tomatoes
Piled High on Markets
BY PRUDENCE PENNY

WATCHING THE markets
for the best buys in the seasons
new crop Of various fruits and
vegetables keeps us on our toes
these days.
Locally grown tomatoes are
plentiful now the supply
having constantly increased since
the first of the week. The price
is down somewhat in the last few
days.
Choose tomatoes by weight,
thickness of flesh wall and small
ness Of seed content. Avoid
those which are yeliowist and
have Wrinkled or leathery skins;
this indicates the fruit was
picked when green. Smooth,
brightly colored ones are best.
Firm and Ripe
Tomatoes are easy to can, but
must be fresh, firm, sound and
ripe Wash carefully before
scalding and scald a small
quantity at a time.
They must be packed and
proceSsed as quickly as possible
after scalding. They are likely
to flat sour if left standing after
scalding Too, they lose food
value if exposed 10 air when
peeled -that-is, they lose VITA

Gingivitis Due To
Lack Of Cleanliness


The natural cleaning of the
teeth by The full use OF the teeth
IN mastlcaiion is of the utmost
Importance IN preserving the
health OF the gingiyae. The scour-
ing OF the surfaces of both teeth
and gums by vigorous mastication
prevents Judgments and accumu-
lations. and this prevents the in
ilamation which would otherwise
occur. Occasional rases present in
whirh, on account OF a sensitive or
tender tooth, the patient has
avoided Tor a time te use OF one
SIDE Of The mouth in chewing. The
teeth and soft tissues OF the used
side Will appear clean and ealthy,
while those Of the unused side
Will, in marked contrast, exhibit
tetth more or less coated over with
Judgments OF food debris along the
margin OF the inflamed gingivac.
BE very careful In the use OF
tooth picks. There are two kinds
OF injuries caused by tooth picks :
recession OF the septal tissue by
pressure, due 10 repeatedly push
ing loothpicks of TOO large size
through the interproximal space :
and inflammaiions caused by the
rough edges and splinters of poor
ly made wooden toothpicks. Many
people caust injuries in one OF
several spaces by habitually hay-
ing a toothpck sticking between
certain teeth. Patients should bit
cautioned against inflicting such
injuries in the mouth.
There is also a danger Of injury

The use of the rubber band or silk
floss in cleaning the interproximal
spaces nv the swapping OF the hand

when carried past the point OF con.

injury is OF no consequence. but
frequent repetitions will soon
