Babies Chances Improve

WASHINGTON (LPA) - A
cut in infant mortality rates
from 81 to "a deaths per 10000
live births, a decline of 61%, is
reported over the past decade
by the Childrens' Bureau of the
Dept. of Labor. The great gains
in infant and maternal safety
were attributed by the Bureau
to the improved care given to
mothers who can afford hospi-
talization, improvement in eco
nomic status of many families
since the worst depression years,
and extension of maternal and
child health services under the
Social Security Act.

The
Acklinite
BY Bud HerrOOn

A meeting was held last Sun
day for the purpose of accepting
or rejecting the contract. From
the time of the first mention of
the new contract people have
questioned every committeeman
as to how it was progressing
what was new, why this, and
why that, why was it taking so
long to negotiate? Now the
questions could have been, an
swered, but how many attended?
not more than sixteen. What
Is the matter with all those
questionable people? The gas
shortage is over, no rationing
lots of time, and yet no atten-
dance.
The people of Acklin would
be surprised at the improvement
they could make in their Unit
if they would only attend. Don't
you know that the majority at
tending those meetings make the
rules, pass the laws, etc, so
don't complain if things are not
done the way you think they
should be, attend your meeting
ONCE a month.
There was quite a jam at the
ladies rest room Monday after
noon, not what you think, that
is where the voting was held on
the 30% wage increase and the
strike vote.

setter on the small line was
wearing a cap the first of the

PAC
Have you thought about the
good job PAC has done for us
in 1945.
1t gained five more dollars Per
week and four more weeks ad-
ded to your Unemployment
Compensation, and that is worth
another years dues at $100.
It has consistently fought an
ti-labor laws and tried to elect
people who believe in labor's
views. We know that some
knock the PAC but you must
remember there are some peo-
pie who are against everything
that is beneficial to labor.
Thousands of workers have
been disqualified for Unemploy-
ment Compensation under the
suitable job clause. 1t takes
money to fight the sponsor of
this clause-the Chamber Of
Commerce, National Association
of Manufacturers and the reac-
tionary members of the State
Legislature.

your help.
