 For honesty, sincerity, and the abil- ity to apply himself to job, "Blackie" can't be beat. It is not my intention to detract from any of the other can didates; it is only that l know ''B1ackie' best.
 "Blackie" is 45 years old, but he's growing younger working for us. He came off Mcfarland & Sample truck in New Haven, where he was shop steward to serve us as organizer, record-secretary and business agent. He's got the experience and the head to use what he's learned.
 That's all I have to say.

 BASIC RATE
 Both increases will be added to the basic rate, it was said. and will not be temporary, as the board previously had recom- mend The boards original rec concentrations had been reject ed by labor spokesmen both be- cause they were inadequate and because they would have expired automatically December 3l, l942.

Want Funds To Support Fight For Preservation
 Of Democracy

PHILADELPHIA. = Members oi Local 8o, National Federation of Post Office Clerks (A.F.L) have often congratulated themselves on their prudence in investing union funds ir securities yielding 6%o.
 BUY $5,OOO WORTH
 But this week the local officers went to a bank with $5,OOO ob. tained from sale of securities and bought defense savings bond al 2N per cent interest. The differ. ence in yield is $l75 a year, which is quite bit when it is remembered that the postal workers haven't had a pay raise in quarter-century.
 Although the defense bond pur- chase will represent a financial loss to the union, we would just as soon lend this money to the government without any return in order to back up the fight for the preservation of democracy and the defeat of tota1i- tarianism" Secretary Julius M. 'Kirch said.

 Effect Radio
Army Restrictions Should Apply To Broadcasting,
 Haggerty Says

With the United States at war, the International Allied Printing Trades Association has advanced its program to head off the threat to its members from the antici- pated governmental decree that commercial printing be reduced in size and volume.
 In letter sent out to all locals of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union, the International Brotherhood of BOOkbinders, the International Ty- geographical Union, and the Inter- national StereOtypers and Electro typers Union, John B. Haggerty, president of the association, calls upon the ''Printing Trades Coun- cils, local unions, State and dis trict bodies, and the officers and members thereof to write their Congressmen and United States Senator'S and advocate the asso- ciation's legislative program.
 WHAT ABOUT RADIO?
 In introducing the legislative pro- gram, Haggerty points out that in spite of the shortage eof electricity and the rationing of some defense plants, there has been no curtail- ment of power necessary for radio broadcasting" On the other hand, he writes, publications are to be sub- stantially cut, possibly as much as 30 or 40 per cent.
 The letter illustrates what 1t calls an unnecessary use of electrical pow CT by pointing out that the Soap Dramas" and similar radio programs can be heard over five or six radio stations at the same time in the same section.
 ''UNFAIR ADVANTAGES"
 The association in its conmunica- ton declares 1t seeks to eliminate some of the many unfair advantages which Federal laws grant to radio and thereby to some extent stop the loss of work opportunities of many thousands of printing trades workers through the transfer of work oppor- tunities from printing plants to radio networks.
 PROGRAM
 Some of the proposed legislative changes follow: An excise or fran chise tax on radio networks and commercial broadcast stations; the elimination of illegal rebates and volume discounts to large adver- i tisers and advertising agencies; the elimination of monopoly; radio broadcast licenses to be issued only to persons in the locality where the station is located; 50 per cent Of radio facilities to be allOcated to non-profit labor, farm, educational religious associations; and radio time used for commercial or adver- tising purposes be restricted on a ratio comparable to restrictions im- posed on printed publications using

Poll Tex Should Be Paid
Before February lst
Says Superintendent

The right to vote is a fundamental
principle in q democracy. To exercise
intelligently that right is a sacred
obligation Of citizens in a democracy.
The constitution Of our state pro-
vides as one of the qualifications
of a voter the payment of q poll tax
(2.00) before the first day of Feb
ruary. OF every voter in a primary
election the law requires the pay
ment of a poll tax for each of the
two years Immediately preceding the
date of the primary in which he pro-
poses to participate.
One Of the fundamental purposes
of education is to teach good citizen
ship. In order to teach good citizen
ship most effectively, the teacher
should be a living example of a good
citizen and certainly meet the legal
requirements of citizenship. We urge
all teachers in the state to pay their
poll tax before the first of February
and to meet all other legal require
ments for participation in elections.
1t is our very sincere hope that
every teacher in the state may not
only look after the matter of paying
his poll tax before February l but
that he may meet every other quail
fication and requirement for legal
citizenship.

On the morning of December 23.

Hudson suddenly passed away. He
was born and reared in Durant, the
son Of Henry Clay and Mary Sue
Weatherby Hudson.
For th%irty-nine years he had work
ed for the Illinois Central Railroad

never failing in his duty, content to
do well whatever task was his. He
was held in high esteem by his as
sociates and loved by his co-work-
ers. His courtesy and efficiency
have been outstanding. indicative of
a life of an honest, loyal, faithful
man.
A peculiar love for and service
to the Order Of Railway conductors
was characteristic of him. He served
it in various capacities, as chief con-
ductor of Division 304; for years as
chairman of the Local Grievance
Committee; patiently and justly ad-
justing and smoothing put difficult
ties and differences; and as long as
he vas physically able, as a member
of the Legislative Committee of
his beloved order.
For many years he has been a
member, in good standing, of the
Masonic Order; and of the Durant
Methodist Church.
He was civic-minded, broad in his
views, interested in every worthy
community enterprise, and willing to
bend his efforts toward its success
His was a personality of strength,
courage, dynamic force, and highes.

feeling of sustained friendship, a
steadying strength. a helping hand.
As a husband, he was ever true,
thoughtful, generous, kind, devoted
and happy. As q father, his life
stands as a beacon to his children
a lighted torch of devotion, love, and
Christian living. His friends are
numbered by the scores from un-
fortunates everywhere, with who he
shared. to people who knew him
best. To know him was not only
to love him; it also was to share

DR.. Holmes has also been eX-
tended testimonial of affectionate
regard and esteem by the Sibley
Hospital training school and the
staff of Sibley Hospital.
In this age of medical autobiog-
raphies DR.. Holmes may be one of
the first woman physicians to write
a book about the varied and deeply
moving experiences of her profess
slonal career. From her memory
she summons up anecdotes of the
years when she gave so freely and
generously of her skill to under
privileged patients of all ranks and
races. They deal with eerie night
calls into some of Washington most
dubious alleys, smoke-filled opium
denS and places where not a word
OF English was spoken or a single
asset to proper sanitation was avail
able. With sttorieS of hair-raising
incidents and grim tragedy mixed
with sublime courage and supreme
self-sacrlfice where they might least
be expected to flourish, DR.. Holmes

larlty in her accounts of what il
meant to be a woman physician in
her own pioneering days.

States Treasury, DR.. Holmes makes
her home at 1884 Ellicott street NV.
Here, in this tWosome of retire
ment," as she describes it, she levels
in the luxury of sleeping the nights
through without the ring of the
telephone to call her forth on emer-
gency calls, and rides such hobbies
as cultivating her flower garden to
her hearts content.
Some of her hobbies, such as
crocheting bedspreadS and afghans
anN poring over and reclassifying
her unusual stamp collections are,
she admits, purely selfish ones"
Others. as might be expected from
her long career of service for others,
go out into helpful community en-
deavorS. She accepts no medical
calls, except in case OF dire neigh
borhood emergency, and then only
until a practicing physician can ar
rive on the scene. She does. how
ever, still continue her teaching
work in connection with the Nurses
Training School at Sibley Holital,
which she has carried on as a good
will gift to this institution for many
years.

afghans, a bedspread and several
stamp collections. These she has
arranged according to stamp clas-

rivers, waterfalls, animals, women,
mail carriers and mountains.
Activities Are Varied.
During the past two years she has
been active in sewing for the Red
Cross, in P. E. o. circles, local and
national; has taken the leadership
in the reorganization of the women
of the three recently affiliated
branches of the Methodist Metro

serving as the president of the Wes-

latter organization is made up of

rendered outstanding service for
others in their own limited leisure
hours
With all of the interesting and
worthwhile things there are to be
done with ones latent talents, no
one need fear retiring" DR.. Holmes
said. AS for idle time upon her
hands, her life is such a busy one
she sometimes wonders how she
ever managed to be a practicing

From the beginning of her pro-

notable success. A number of her
patients were Italian and Chinese.
