Breeze plant. At the same time the

which already had white members.
began initiating Negro members.
Organizing proceeded rapidly in
both unions.
Faced with competition from both
the AL. and CI.O, as we'll as the
possibility that it might be outlawed
by the NL.R.B., the company union
raised the issue of separate toilets for
Negroes and whites. Rumors that
venereal diseases are more common
among Negroes than whites were
spread as company Stooges asserted:
Negroes should be kept in their
places" The Natl. War Labor Board
denied the request for separate toll
cts, whereupon the company union
took a strike vote
The company itself had a hand in
the strike. Supervisors sent employees
to join the strike after they reported
to work. The company refused an
offer of free radio time to urge its
employees to return to work, and it
asked the mayor to prevent a union
sound truck from operating near the
plant to urge workers to go back to
their Jobs.
LAM. spOkesmen, calling the
strike phOny, pointed out that
despite the fact that working con-
ditiOns here generally are the worst
in the area, the employees assOcia-
ton chooses to strike on an issue
which can win the workers moth
ing.''

"The membership of the ALL. is

WE THANK YOU
MRS. BULLARD!

The Sentinel,
Rockville, Md.
AS President of the Mont
gomery County tuberculosis
Association, / would like to
thank you for the amount of
publicity you gave our organi-
cation. Through publicity of
this kind, in the county papers,
we find more information is des-
seminated than in any other
way. Our large seal sale, over
$4,000, was news to everyone
in the county and we appreciate
your contribution of front page
space.
1 should like, at this time,
also to tell you how much the
old county residents of Mont
gomery enjoy the inside page
written by Mrs. Haines. 1t is
so entirely different from the
daily papers, filled with war and
political news-we must have
this news, but the Sentinel to
me is like a dessert at the end
of the week.
Sincerely,
Anne w. Billiard

for the boys, and Officer Jack
Berry loaned them his rifle range
at Glen. An "Odd Jobs Bureau"
was also organized by Mr.. Somer-
veil, with about % boys and girls
registered.
There were other activities, and
so for a comparatively small sum
of money the Council has offered
opportunities to almost everyone
in the communicates paid for
the services of a trained director
for the summer-has enlisted the
help of the churches, clubs and
number of individuals. Sponsors
are hopeful that the program can
be extended to other communities.
A leadership training school for
this purpose is under way.

Contagious Diseases
Should Be Isolated

Individuals VINO develop rashes
or a breaking out" or who be-
come ill after having been ex-
posed to a contagious disease
should isolate themselves until
diagnosis is made, according to
DR.. v. L. Ellicott, County Health
Officer. To be safe any illness
with fever should be considered
contagious until proven otherwise,
Following the report of scarlet
fever and certain other. con-
tagious diseases the public health
nurse visits as soon as possible
By that time many more people
may have been exposed unless
the patient has been isolated and
visitors excluded.

|Jake's brew, the black ties and

Kay had looked around anxious
ly for David. She hoped he would
come. Her behavior that afternoon
row seemed silly and childish, and
she wanted to apologize. And she
didn't want to go away without
an assurance that David's feelings
weren't hurt, that they were still
friends.
He finally did come in, late. Kay
saw to it that he had drink,
some food. He looked weary and
Kay's heart went out to him. He
stayed just short time, had OBJ
viously come only out of politeness.
Just before he left, he took Kay
aside for a minute.
GAS soon as you know where
you are going to be, let me know.

raise his voice. The noise was
deafening.
"Of course, David" she replied.
"And don't overdo it. You're
used to working with your head,

cure anything" He looked very
worried.

was too acute. In a way she was
grateful, though. 1t was nice to
be considered.

sure you're hiding something from
me. Whatever it is, it's not my

She didn't say anything.
''But 1 just want to say one
more thing. If you think you're
going to keep Jake happy away
from New York, you're mistaken. "
She looked across the room at Jake
who was roaring at something a
pretty girl had just said. The girl
seemed very much taken with him.

S S JAMES MOORE
CHRISTENED HERE
69th Liberty Freighter
Slides Down Ways OF
Local Shipyard

The 8, 9. James Moore, 6sth Lib
erty freighter to near completion
at the yard Of the North Carolina
Shipbuilding company, was christ
ened Friday morning at II o'clock
by Mrs. Charles A. Cornell, wife

department.
Her attendants at the launching
were Mrs. B. r. Hooper, of Rich
mond, Va, matron of honor, and
Miss Nan Pat Whitmore, Newport

The vessel was named for James

He was a captain of artillery

North Carolina troops that was
raised for the defense Of the state.

mand of the forces, a part of which.
under Col. Richard CasweH and Col.
John A. Ellington, won the first
victory of the Revolution at Moore's
Creek bridge, near Wilmington, over
1900 Scotch Tories. He was pro-
NOTED brigadier-general for this ex-
plot, made commander-in-chief of
the southern department, and re-
ceived the thanks Of Congress.
