AFL War Hero Loses
Three Limbs, But Says
I'm Lucky To Be Alive

Washington, D. C.-"I'm lucky to be
alive"
That is the attitude expressed by
Corp. Ralph A. Brown from bed
of pain at Walter Reed Hospital
where he is convalescing after losing
both legs and his right arm when Nazi
shells blasted the tank in which he
was riding last September in France.
Corp. Brown, who is a member of
the AFL's International Brotherhood
of Teamsters, Local No. BIT, also suf-
fered compound fracture Of his re-
naming left arm and it is now only
partially restored to use. His is the
only triple amputation case reported in
this war.
Despite his misfortunes, Brown is
cheerful and philosophical about his
injuries, He says:
"I'll get along"
His attitude is inspirational to 9TH
er wounded soldiers at the hospital,
and the War Department believes that
when his fellow unionists get to know
about it, they, too, will want to pitch
in harder than ever before to help
win the war in the shortest time pos
sible.
The wounded veteran, whose moth
er, Mrs. Mary Brown, lives at "a S.
Brookway ST., Youngstown, worked
for the lsaly Dairy Co., in that city
before joining the Army in March,
1912.
AS gunner on Sherman tank with
the Sixth Armored Division, Brown
was on a patrol through enemy-held
territory when his vehicle came across
ammunition trucks hidden behind
French farmhouse. The patrol sue
cessfully blasted the trucks, but the
Germans then scored direct hit on
the tank. Brown was pulled out, al
most dead, by his buddies who drove
him Immediately to battalion aid
station. Prompt medical treatment
saved his life.
The tank in which he was wounded
was the second Sherman lost by his
crew from their arrival in France or
D-Day plus until September. The
first time Brown was back at base
headquarters when his tank was
smashed.
eff I'd been there then, might
have been killed." he commented. "I'n
lucky to be alive"

Federal Funds Asked
For Child Dentistry

Washington, d. c. (ILNS) Fed
eral funds should be provided to make
good dental care available for every
child, regardless of family income,
and these funds should be appropriat-
ed to the Children's Bureau, U. S.
Department Of Labor, for grants to
state health departments for the de-
velopment of such care. These key rec
concentrations made by conference
on dental care of children called by
the Children's Bureau in Washington,
were announced by DR.. Martha M
Eliot, the bureaus associate chief.
The conferees, among whom were
outstanding men in the dental and al
lied professions, further recommend
ed that funds be provided for training
of personnel and for research in prob
lens relating to the dental health OF
children. These services would be de-
veloped as an extension of present
material and child-health programs
now being administered by state health
departments under plans approved by
the Children's Bureau under the Socia
Security Act. To date, only few
states have included corrective denta
care programs in their services.
Dental services for children in The
opinion of the conference should be
developed as part of an overall pro
gram of health services for children
Care might be given through schools
hospitals, health centers and clinics
and in private offices. In remote area.
trailer clinics could be used.
AS a starter on such broad pro
gram of dental care, priority could b.
given each year to children as the.
enter with follow-up care throughou
the school years. AS personnel an
facilities increase, services shoul
then be expanded to take in both tn
older children and those of pre-schoo
age. "Within half generation tn
present backlog of dental neglec
among young adults would be don
away with and only maintenance car
for those reaching maturity would b
needed" the conference predicted.

Blizzard Pay Approved

Boston (ILNS).-The Regional War
Labor Board has approved "blizzard
pay" for all workers in New England
states who were unable to get to work
because of the big Feb. 8 storm. The
ruling also included workers who re-
ported for work but were unable to
perform any labor because of the clos
ing down Of stores or offices. With
out the WLB approval, the announce

hour increase. In this manner, the
public members have concocted 36.7
per cent increase in adjusted straight
time hourly earnings for all wage
earners subject to the War Labor
Boards jurisdiction.
"In summary, the workers of
America are disillusioned by this
change in wage control technique. But
they have not been hypnotized into be-
lieving that an increase for some
workers is an increase in the wages
of all workers. Only statisticians can
be confused by the magic of their
averaging technique"

Slavery Days and Now

To Butler County Press.-When the
colored race were slaves, capital had
to feed, clothe and doctor them, or
they could not work. Since being free,
some became (share croppers. Cap
ital's" aim was to have the darky a
little in debt at the years end and let
them "Root, Hog or Die" Capital now
pay (seemingly) good wages to white,
black or any color or creed But take
from a part of their wage, they never
see, many pay transportation to from
work, by upkeep of machinery or by
bus. They pay tax on everything they
have or consume Slaves paid no tax
or upkeep.
In earlier days young folks strived
to become their own boss as soon as
possible, at whatever they were most
fitted. Now to secure good job seems
to be the height of their ambition, and
be forever at the dictates of capital
ism
Capital would dictate the price for
labor and hours. If not unionized
labor did not have influence.
A darkey employed by one who was
slow pay and to cheer up the darkey
offered to raise the wage. The darkey
said he didn't want raise.
"Slow pay" asked why?
Darkey said, "When Pm through
you all won't owe me SO much"

SECOND GAS LEAK DISCOVERED HERE
Repair Crew Sent to COuna try Club Road; COrOner's
 Probe Underway

A second gas leak was reported yesterday afternoon on Country Club road, 200 feet from the Gaes;, hcme, where ten days ago escaping fumes from a broken main took the life of Albert H. Gaess.
 The new leak wa reported by a passer-by who noticed a strong odor of gas in the vicinity. Theo- dore F. Breithaupt, division en- gineer for the company, said that an emergency crew excavated and found leaking gas':et at a drip tee. The connection was frightened and the leak stopped at once, he said.
 He explained that drip tees are located at regular intervals along all gas mains to carry off moisture which condenses in the lines. The connection which was repaired last night is buried about five feet be- meath the surface, he added.
 An inquest by Coroner Stephen A. Homick into the Gaess death is waiting testimony of Mrs. Oaess and her daughter Minnie, who were themselves overcome at the time of fhL tragedy, and have not yet suf- nciently recovered to appear at the hearings.
