LABOR AND INDUSTRY

Contrast the attitude OF industry
with that of labor in this time OF
grave national emergency.
without a single important ex,
ception, industry has given the gov
eminent its full and unqualified CO.
operation. The utilities, the Goa
mines, the oil producers, the steel
mills. the railroads--these and a
hundred and one other industries
are on an ''all out for defense" bas-
is of operation. They have volun
tarily discarded business as usual
for the duration of the crisis. They
are expanding at maximum speed, tc
serve the needs Of defense and civil
ian needs at the same time. They
have accepted without question the
imposition of severe priorities and
restrictions. Some of these indus
tries, such as the power and igh'
utilities, are doing this in the face
of ruthless political persecution and
needless, costly government com
petition.
Now look at the record of the big
labor unions. All you have to do is
glance over a newspaper. Strikes are
continually threatened or called In
basic industries. The President OF
the United States and other high
government officials are hagrantly,
callously defied. The findings OF un-
prejudiced mediation boards have
been refused and ignored. The drive
for a labor dictatorship, with hand
full Of labor leaders playing the role
of dictators, goes on in the face OF
a critical national emergency.

WHEN OLD-AGE AND SURvIV.
ORs INSURANCE RECIP-
TENTS GO BACK no WORK

With defense industries calling
for workers of all ages, Mr.. Milburn,
manager of the Social Security
Board Office in Baltimore, issued a
reminder to men and women who
are receiving retirement benefits
under the Social Security Act. mot
that the Social Security Board
would discourage retired workers
from going back to work.. Mr.. Mill
burn said, "but they must remem-
Der to notify the Social Security
Board when they do so". AS stated
in the award letter" they received
when their claims were approved,
he explained, they cannot receive
any month in which they earn as
must as SIS a month chat is, more
than $14.99) on job that comes
under the Social Security Act.
This is a matter of law, Mr.. Mil
burn points out, and there is PEN
atty for disregarding it. The PEN
atty causes a loss of 2 monthly pay
ments for every one that should not
have been paid.
"The same requirement applies to
the wife or children of retired
worker who are receiving benefit
payments on his account" Mr.. Mil
burn added. "They are mot entitled
to receive benefit payments for any
month during which the husbands
or fathers payments are stopped.
Nor are the wives or children en-
titled to receive their benefit pay
ments If they themselves go to work
ON a job which comes under the
Social Security Act, and If it pays
more than $1499 month. This ap-
plies also to widows, orphans, and
dependent parents who are receiv-
ing monthly insurance payments
under the Social Security Act. They
should notify the Social Security
Board to stop their benefit payments
while they are earning more than
$14.99 a month on job that comes
under the Social Security Act.
Write to the Board immediat-
ely" Mr.. Milburn advises, $50 that
your checks for the months you are
at work will not be mailed. If q
check does come, you should return
it at once to the United States Treas
ury in Washington with an explana-
ton of the reason for it's return.
There are still other occasions,
Mr.. Milburn points out, when people
who are receiving monthly benefit
payments should notify the Social
Security Board. Where man and
his wife are both getting benefits.
they must notify the Board If they
get divorce; if one of them dies,
the survivor must give notice of the
death. Some member Of the family
must notify the Social Security
Board when young beneficiaries be-
tween the ages of 16 and 18 stop
school or marry. For further infor-
nation regarding old-age and sur
vivors insurance inquire at the field
office of the Social Security Board,
80 South Street, Baltimore, Md.

FIRE rs NOT INvINCIBLE

Fire is the ever-present enemy OF
property, of life, and of security
Fire is a dark shadow across every
business and home, every place
where people gather. No man knows
when it may strike. It rarely gives
warning. And when it goes it leaves
ruin and disaster in it's wake.
Fire menaces all the people--and
all the peoples property. Each year
it takes some ten thousand lives.
Each year it destroys property val
ued at hundreds of millions Of dol
lars. Each year it destroys employ
ment, opportunity, progress.
But fire, fortunately, is not an in
vincible enemy. Fire can be licked.
It feeds on carelessness, ignorance,
stupidity. Fire can be starved by
knowledge and preparedness and
the intelligent application of a few
simple rules of fire prevention.
In the home, fire has many
friends. Accommodations of old pap
er, clothing, and other burnable ma
terials--improperly stored infiam-
mable liQuids--out-of-repair heating
and lighting equipment--these are
major sources of fire. Eliminate
them, and fire's opportunity to de-
stroy is tremendously reduced.
Fire must be fought In the inter-
est of protection Of the individual,
protection of property--and, in these
days of national defense, protection
of the nation. All Of US must do our
part in this battle.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1941-12-12

The pinch of priorities is really
beginning to be felt. And it is being
felt by the individual consumer, no
less than by businesses which are
no longer able to obtain adequate
quantities of materials which were
once abundant.
As the defense effort gains mo-
mentum and production scars up
ward, the consumers problems will
become more severe. He may not be
able to walk into store and pur-
chase precisely what he wants. Other
articles he is used to may become
excessively costly.
That, however, should not be
cause for worry and despair. There
are plenty Of inexpensive substitute
es for practically everything that is
becoming scarce or expensive. And
there IL where the need for consum.
or education comes in.

Christmas Gifts

The custom Of exchanging gifts
and enjoying merry times during
the winter holidays springs from
heather antiquity. During gay cele-
brations the Romans gave gifts. This
custom was continued during the APP
pr0ach Of Christianity, but the
heather significance was dropped
and the gifts became known as
Christmas presents. On New Years
eve in France, children's presents,
(etrepnes) are distributed. England,
Germany, Italy and the U. s. A. ex-
change their gifts at Christmas.

First Settlers in Virginia
Had a JOYOUS Christmas

Although thousands Of miles from
their native homes, the first Virgin
ians did what they could to observe
Christmas day. But there were no
women, no children and no families
in those first few years.
Despite this handicap, Captain
John Smith writes that the first
Christmases were very merry. The
extreme wind. rayne, frost and snow
caused us to keep Christmas among
the savages where we weere never
more merry, nor fed on more plen-
ty of good oysters, fish, flesh, wild
fowl and good bread, nor never had
better fires in England"
