gram urging Presidential inter

Knox WACS beaten by civilian
police in Elizabethtown, KY, last
July for failure to move out of
the "white" waiting room fast
enough for the officers. The tele-
gram, urging an investigation and
punishment of the civilian officers,
was signed by 400 returned,
wounded servicemen, both white
and Negro. The men are now
stationed at the Baxter General
Hospital in Spokane, Wash.
The War Department claims it
is powerless to act in the case
because the assault of the WACS
did not occur on Army property.
There is no federal law making
it an offense to assault a uni
formed member of the Armed
Services Except members of the
Coast Guard).
The WACS, who were court
martialed for disorderly conduct
following the incident, were found
not guilty and freed, and now are
reported to be contemplating a
civil suit against the officers.

Resolution Adopted

The following resolution was sub
mitted to the meeting by Rev. Nell
son and was unanimously adopted:
"a nation that is capable of hav-
ing full employment during war,
should be even more capable of hav-
ing full employment during peace
time. The full and abundant life
that We as Christians believe is
possible, cannot be had by a large
part of the population, because of
the lack of full and adequate en-
plOyment.
with the cessation of the war
and the ending of employment for
millions who were in defense in
dustries, we are faced with a Sc
riOus problem of unemployment.
Therefore, be it resolved, that
we, who are here assembled in the
CamphOr M emOrial Methodist
Church, at this special Labor Sun
day program and meeting, do here
by urge the Congress in its coming
session to enact legislation that will
assure full employment for all of
the citizens of the nation.
BE it further resolved, that
copies of this resolution be sent to
President Harry S. Truman, the two
Minnesota Senators, the nine Min
nesOta members of the House of
Representatives and the Committee
on Banking of the Senate"

"Where Do We Go
From Here?" Subject
Of Lions Speaker

Addressing a well attended din
ner meeting of the Lions club We'd
.nesday evening in the basement Of
the Methodist church, K. w. Alex
ander spoke on where Do We Go
From Here?
The talk brought out the respon-
sibility of the Individual citizen
to his community, state and nation
even in the matter of information
al peace and justice--by showing
that all forces yielded to organized
public opinion.
The service clubs and men and
women in similar organizations can
make of Coolidge exactly the kind
of a town they desire. They can
either face and solve their COM
munity problems through local ac-
ton and organization, or they can
continue to let them pile up, de-
pending on outside groups to plan
for the future of Coolidge and solve
it's problems, which will mean that
they will grow and multiply with
the growth of the town. On the
other hand by taking thought and
action to affairs of the community.
they can take the problems of the
town into their own hands and
solve them-or at least plan the
future solution of those that can
not be Immediately solved.
He spoke strongly on the need
of active participation of every
citizen, of united action and full
cooperation in the matter of secur-
ing water from the Colorado river
for Central Arizona-Or this valley
must face the alternative of the
Colorado river being used else
where and the Casa Grande valley

Wind Is Cause of
Crash; Roof Braces
Sound in Dow Bid q

In the story of the accident at
the Dow building on Main street
Wednesday afternoon of last week,
when the roof trusses fell into the
uncompleted structure being erect
ed by the King-Hoover Construc-
ton Co., the word collapsed" was
used in describing what happened
to the framework of the roof.
Further investigation reveals the
fact that the accident was not due
to a collapse of the roof trusses
(framework) which were entirely
sound in design and construction.
While working on the trusses,
which had been placed in position
but had not yet received their per-
manent ties, a temporary brace or
tie, was removed in the building
operation and at that moment a
strong westerly wind hit the build
ing, rocking the roof truss from
which the tie had been removed and
this roof brace, caught by the wind,
was blown over against the next
truss in line, with the result that
its neighbor went over under the
ipmact of the first truss and so IN
turn until the entire lineup of rooi
trusses had fallen to the ground
below on the in~i9e of the structure.
Such roof trusses as fell in are
designed and built to carry a full
load (the roof, etc. when in an
upright position, but are not built
to withstand stress when tipped
over on thier sides, as happened
when the wind hit them before
they were permanently tied into
position.
"This is an excellent example,
said c. E. Hoover of the construc-
tion company, "of why onlookers
should stay clear of a building un-
der construction and should not
venture inside of such a building
unless on specific business. For
tunately no one in the Dow build
ing at the time of the accident was
seriously injured, but it might have
had tragic results"
