Propaganda Agent

Spreading False Runors In
Shop Regarding Social
Security Deductions

Paden City. w. Va. - Everything
seems to be under control here in West
Virginia, despite the fact that we have
among us Il few brothers who seem to
be going out of their way to spread
propaganda among some of the weaker
members of the local. The latest to
come from these would-be crusaders
there is no use having union, what
does it get you?
1t is too bad to say the least that
they pick upon the union for their
target in their hymn of hate, but now
we hear that our social security system
is nothing but a fraud, and as far as
anyone receiving any benefits, it is just
a lot of hooey.
Well Brothers. the answer to these
people is plainly visible before your
eyes Where would we be in Paden
City without Local Union 146? We
have our troubles it is true, but what
local union in these United States does
not have them. Our job is to be big
enough to settle our grievances within
our own house. And always remember
Hitler and his gang of hOOdlumS spread
the same propaganda. Perhaps we may
have a Hitler and TOTO among us.
AS election time rolls around we are
beginning to hear the different candi-
dates tell how they favor the working
man. We were fooled by their promises
once, but will not be misled the second
time. Make sure you go to the polls
this time with the record fresh in your
minds of each candidate who is run
ming for office. If this is done | am sur"
you need not be told who is the work
ing mans friend.

the Army, said today that the
death rate in the Army's evacua-
ton hospitals during the African
campaign was between 212 and
312 per cent of admissions and
was "the lowest rate of any army
at any time"
Gen. Kirk said at-a press confer
ence that during the last war the
mortality rate was IS per cent, and
ascribed the modern low percentage
to plasma, excellent and advanced
surgery and the use of sulfa drugs.
Plasma. given at the front lines,
resulted in saving lives which would
have been lost If means we're not
available for treating shock cases.
he said, adding also that "the
cream of surgery in America, the
middle-aged and the younger men
who have been teaching" were sta
toned at evacuation hospitals at
the front.
Death on the battlefield often
comes from shock and hemorrhage, "
he said. ''Plasma, plus surgery, is
the answer. If infection sets in
later, it is controlled by sulfa drugs"
Turning to the South Pacific war

malaria is our big enemy: for every
