every conceivable excuse for

Negroes Should Back Fight For
Hig Waghes. Says Philip Randolph

In the office OF the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters in
New York City, A. Philip Ran
dolph, International President,
stated that President Truman's
speech was disappointing and
that he did bit of tight-rope
walking on wages and prices. He
was for raising wages and not
for raising them. He was for
maintaining the ceiling on prices
and for not maintaining the
ceiling on prices The whole
statement was so vague and in
definite that it leaves the work.
ers of the country without any
specific chart by which to guide
and direct their labor policies.
What is true with respect to the
workers, is also true with respect
to business. He urged labor to
be reasonable, but how reason
able? If the logic of the Presi-
dents talk is followed, it will
lead the country straight into
initiation, because when once
the sluice gates for increased
prices are opened on one or
more commodities, the public
may expect that prices will run
hog-wild and wages, leaden-
footed, will not be able to keep
pace, and soon the country will
be plunged into another dismal
and devastating depression.
Mr.. Randolph states that it is
his belief that the President
should have flately demanded an
increase in wages, minimum
of twenty per cent, and higher
rates according to the capacity
of various industrial enterprises,
with rigid ceilings on prices.
Otherwise, the purchasing pow
err of the country will slump,
with the consequent rise in
nationwide unemployment. In
creased wages or higher purchas-
ing power will help the bust

FIRST POLIO CASE
FOUND IN COUNTY

First case of infantile paralysis
in Union county was reported
Tuesday by DR.. F. M. Wurtsbaugh,
county health commissioner.
The victim is Ronald Robertson,
5-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chester Robertson, who reside a
bout one-half mile east of Rich
wood. The child is in Children's
hospital, Columbus, with one arm
affected.
Where Ronald contacted the
disease is not known. He hasn't
been away from home recently,
and his parents know of no one he
has been with from whom he
might have taken it. His is the
first case of infantile paralysis in
Union county since last summer.
In connection with the new case
Of infantile paralysis, DR. WurtS-
baugh has issued the following
statement:
Be on the alert of any early
signs of illness or changes in nor
NAL state of health, especially in
children. Do not assume that a
stomach upset with vomiting, cons
tipation, diarrhea, severe headache
or signs of cold and fever are of
no Importance. These may be "a
mong the first symptoms of infan-
tile paralysis.
Don't delay calling a physician.
Expert medical care given early
may prevent many of the crippling
deformitieS. Proper care from the
onset may mean the difference be-
tween a life of gripping and good
recovery.
Observe these simple precau-
tionS:
(a) Avoid overtiring and eX-
treme fatigue from strenuous eX-
erciSe.
(b) Avoid sudden chilling such as
would come from a plunge into eX-
tremely cold water on a very hot
day.
(c) Pay special attention to per-
sonal cleanliness, such as thorough
hand washing before eating.
Cd Use the purest milk and
water you can get Keep flies away
from food. Wash all fruits and
vegetables before eating.
(e) Do not swim in polluted
water.
(f) Avoid all unnecessary con-
tact with persons with any illness
suspicious of infantile paralysis.
Don't become hySterical if cas-
es occur in your neighborhood. Re-
member that although this is a
frightful disease, needless fear and
panic only cause more trouble.
