Union Election
(From page one)


was Company dominated" but
the company has appealed the
matter to the U. S. Circuit court
of appeals.
In its order for the election
made public this week, the La
Dor Board said the Clinchfield
company had asked that vote
on the United Mine Workers re-
quest for an election be delayed
until after the federal appellate
court rules as to the independent
union, officially named h e
Dante-Clinchco Independent I'm
ion, Inc.
The board said the company
asked the delay Gin order to
avoid the possible necessity of
two elections and the disturbing
electioneering campaigns con-
nected Herewith" The board de
clared, however, that it had con
sidered this contention in other
cases "and found it to be with
out merit"
If the court of appeals should
uphold the NLRB disestablish-
Of the independent union, and ii
the United Mine Workers should
be accepted by the Clinchco-
Dante workers at the ordered ell
ection, the UNIV will then have
taken a stronghold which has
withstood its efforts for many
years.

DIR. EllicOtt Reports
On T.B. Program

Figures just released by DR.. V.
L. Ellicott, Montgomery County
Health Officer, indicate that the
war against tuberculosis in the
county made real progress during
the calendar year 1943. Accord
ing to DIR. Ellicott, over 1900
X-rays were taken and nearly 900
people visited tuberculosis clinics
held weekly during the year.
In addition to clinical work, DIR.
Ellicott states that the Public
Health nurses made 1924 visits
during the year in connection with
the tuberculosis program of the
Health Office.
An X-ray clinic will be held in
the Public Health Center at the
new Suburban Hospital on George
town Road in Bethesda, February
IL. County residents who are in
terested are urged to telephone the
Health Department, Rockville 428
for further information and regis
tration.
These clinics are part of the
program of the Montgomery Coun-
ty tuberculosis Association which
cooperates closely with the County
Health Department. The program
also includes plans for a spring
early diagnosis campaign, indus
trial surveys, and purchase Of bad
ly needed equipment.
According to Mrs. William N.
Morell, Seal Sales Chairman of
the County organization, the 1943
Christmas seal campaign was a
real success, not only financially
but also from the standpoint of
educational value judging from
the many interesting letters re.
ceived with contributions.

OOHlc pcOprS CHlHB nursery
school is where lazy parents can
dump their children. Some schools
may be-but not a co-operativel'
explained Mrs. Elizabeth Whitney,
who teaches the Rockville Coop
erative Nursery School in the Lii
brary Annex, to an inquiring MEM
Der of The Sentinel staff. "For the
two and half hours, four days a
week that the children are out
from 'underfOot,' the parents not
only pay in money but give the
fifth morning to participating
driving their car pool for that day,
working in the school all morning
and driving the children back. Then
they must attend two evening
meetings each month to decide up
on equipment Or questions of
health"
Besides the complications of car
pools and participation days, ar
rangements for extra "points" and
ordering juice and crackers for the
group, the mothers have an amaz-
ingly well-attended study group,
where they try to delve into the
problems that concern both chill
dren and parents. "No, parents in
a cooperative group are not get
ting out of work." said Mrs. Whit
ney.
sounds like a lot of work. Can
such tiny tots learn enough to pay
their mothers for all that trouble?
Couldn't the children play just as
we'll at homer" Mrs. Whitney was
asked.
at may look like just play" the
teacher replied, ''but there is
learning going on as well-mostly
social learning, maybe, and not a,
b, c's-but learning just the same.
Perhaps children who have a chance
to learn to get along together at
an early age will become grown-
ups interested in nations getting
along we'll together-and the end
ing of wars"
That's a large order for a nur-
sery school, but Mrs. Whitney says
there are times when she thinks it
is possible. Anyway, it is well
worth trying, she things, and she
explained her reasoning with these
examples:
"Here's Joe, vigorous four-year-
old who used to get as much pleas
ure out of knocking down other chill
dren's buildings as he did out of
building himself. Now, some of his
happiest moments are spent in
pushing around toy truck loaded
with blocks, delivering them to
children who need more. He builds
bigger and better himself, too, and
his solicitude over fallen buildings
now seldom caused by himself
is great. Joe is learning to get
fun out of being part Of the group
instead of running counter to it.
"Ann, the three-year-old, used to
stand on the sidelines and frown as
she watched the others march
skip or play sailboat-as for sing
ing, she would have none of it
now she almost browns out the
teacher, SO earnest is her singing
And you should see her march and
