About Washmgton
BY Hope Ridtngs Miller :

GALLUP. N. Mex.-This unique
little town, "the heart of the Indian
Empire" is the scene of the great
est annual all-American show in
America.
In seven scheduled performances
the past week, several thousand COL
orfully bedecked Indians from all
over the Southwest have celebrated
the silver anniversary of the Inter
Tribal Ceremonial-a show that
puts both Hollywood and Broadway
in q remote shade. They have
danced, sung and negotiated
intricate rituals that no white man
would ever dare to attempt. For
the twenty-fifth consecutive time
they have illustrated that an inter-
tribal reunion can be an important
agent toward the development of
arts and crafts and the perpetual
ton Of religious rites of the Indians
of the Southwest, and even of the
entire United States.
Gov. John J. Dempsey of New
Mexico, writing to NJ l.. Woodward,
secretary of the Ceremonial Associa-
ton a few weeks ago, observed: ut
is good to know that so many In
dian veterans of the European and
Pacific campaigns are home and
will enjoy this, their ceremonial,
again"
Almost a fourth of the perform
ers in the 1946 ceremonial were in
Uncle Sans uniforms, or we're

those of any other racial minority

Medals of Honor"
Tony, by the way, was the star of
the ceremonial this year, just as he
has been in several years past. He
is recognized as the best hoop dancer
in the world, and the audience that

"Noted Names" Connected.
A number Of famous persons have
had a part in promoting interest
in the ceremonial through the years.
Zane Grey, the author, proclaimed
the event Of 1923 "a marvellous sue
cess" and urged that a large grand
stand be erected to take care Of
the crowds for subsequent per-
formances. The late President
Coolidge, vacationing In Wisconsin
in 1927 received 14-year -old Boyd
Jones who rode all the way there

invite him to the ceremonial. That's

Labor Losses In Strikes

Not only the national economy is be.
ing adversely affected by the strikes
in major industries which have slowed
Ireconversion almost to the stopping
place. The strikers themselves are los
ing money every day they remain off
the job.
The Wall Street Journal points out
they will be years in making up their
current losses in revenue, even if they
win the wage increases for which they
are fighting.
1.-THE average General Motors striker
would have collected $702.80 in pay if
IA weeks that the G.. M. walkout has
he had been at work over the roughly
been in progress. This figure pre-
sumes that he would have been putting
in a 40-hour week at the 10 1-1-cent-
an-hour increase rate originally offered
the UA.W.-C.I.O. by the company to
head off the strike. If the walkout
were settled this morning on the I'M
ions terms and this average worker
went back at the 10 1-2-cents-an-hour
higher wage demanded by the union,
he would be paying for the victory for
five years and 80 weeks. At the g.
cent-an-hour higher rate he would have
won, 1t would take him that long to
make up the $702,80 he has lost in
wages"
The Journal further notes that on
the same basis it will take the average
u. Steel worker two years and %
weeks to make up the $180.40 pay he
lost in the recent four-week strike.
The company first offered 15-cent-an-
hour increase and he union finalyl set
tied for eighteen and one-half cents.
In the face of this evidence of the
fundamental folly of mass strikes, John
L. Lewis, chief of the United Mine
Workers, yesterday filed a thirty-day
notice of strike on behalf of 100000
miners. Can there be any clearer
proof that the welfare of union work
ers is not the first consideration of
labor leaders, and that they are sacri-
ficing workers in their attempt to set
up dictatorship over which they would
preside?

The Mississippi Plan

Newspaper space is being literally
given to Mississippi's program for at
tracing new industries. Since last
July, it is shown, the state has expend-
ed $1,183,O00 on plant construction.
Seventeen factories have been created,
employing 5000 persons.
The program is authorized under a
Balance Agriculture with Industry
act, which makes possible the moving
of an industry into the state without
a heavy initial investment. When the
operating company has retired the com.
munity's bonds, issued for plant con
-struction, out Of it's Mississippi earn
ings, it is to gain ownership of the
property.
1t is a variation on Wilmington:
program, initiated by Wilmington In
dustries, Inc, to be substantially broad
ened by the appointment of John H
Farrell, secretary of the Chamber O
Commerce, as special industrial agent
The local plan is financed by local capt.

er success in it's venture than this city

Some Light Is Being Shed On The Ice
Situation OF Old But Hardly Enough

what we started out to talk about.
Mr.. McCarley tells me that Mr..
McEachern has told him that the
first ice brought into Wilmington
for the purpose of cooling drinks,
ct cetera, in the summer came
via sailing vessels all the way
down from New England.
1t seems that the New England
ers cut the ice during the winter
and stored it. When summer came
they packed the holds of their
sloops, or whatever other kinds Of
vessels they had, and sailed down
the coast to Wilmington. Here they
unloaded at what must have been
a good price, because ice-running,
I am told, was highly profitable
in those days.
Because I have yet been unable
to get in g touch with Mr.. Nc
Eachern, I am not certain of the
OdIGS lllcSc tllES WSIS lllduS llO1il
New England to here. But these
sailing vessels must have come
here with ice as late as the early
1905.
There must be, of course, a lot
more light on this subject which
have not yet found. Maybe there
is somebody else who knows about
these things. Or maybe I'll be able
to get in touch with Mr.. Nc
Eachern and he'll know.
But what I'm wondering now is
just what folks of those other days
did about chilling whatever they
had that needed to be chilled
Surely, the New Englanders.
thrifty and as industrious as they
are known to be, could not hav
furnished ice for all the warmer

habitants couldn't just walk right
out during the winter and cut their
own ice.

| able to buy from he New Eng
landers, get their ice? Or. it they
didn't get any ice,, how did they
keep things chilled?
Naturally, / know that in many
sections, particularly In the noun
tain country Of North Carolina and
other states, there were always
cool springs where the folks kept
their butter, eggs, milk, and other
perishables during the summer
months.
But I have never heard of there
being a lot Of these cool springs
down in coastal North Carolina.
Yes, of course, L know about the
artesian flows of water all around
here. But was this cool enough in
summer to refrigerats perishable
items?
Only recently talked with a
farmer over in the .Bladen section
and I asked him what he used to
do in summer about his butter and
50 on.
1.-THE same as / do now" he
said very simply.
When pressed, he told me that
he still doesn't have any way OF
refrigerating these products about
which I'm talking. He simply ex
planned that his folks eat butter
and eggs fresh, as fast as they
are made and therefore he really
doesn't need any ice, or, now
electric refrigeration.
This still leaves me in the dark
however. There are a great many
of us here in Wilmington who dc
not have cows and hens and we
cannot just 60 out into the stall
or the nest and come back witt
these products.
There must be an answer to how
they used to do these things whe1
they didn't have hens, cows, o.
ice. Anybody know it?

Tipping

During recent arbitration hearings
over a 30-cents-an-hour pay increase
for 1,250,00O incorporating railroad
employees the question of tips to dining
car walters came under discussion.
George E. Brown, vice president of the
Hotel and Walters Employees Union of
the AFL, was questioned by William
T. Farley, counsel for the roads. He
was asked If he would agree with the
roads to bar tipping in dining cars if
the unions wage demands were met.
"Only'', he replied, "if a living wage is
paid.
'Would you agree to prohibit tip
ping if you received the 30 cent in
creased"
WED consider it a large step in
the right direction"
Is it reasonable, in this light to as
sumo that dining car walters average

Scrap Paper Collection

This is the day you are invited to
place at the curb all the waste paper
you have been saving these last few
weeks, not as formerly in the early
morning, but at 1 o'clock, after wor-
shippers have returned home from
church.
AS paper is still lacking, particularly
for packaging supplies and medicines
for the troops aboard and in home
camps, for which waste paper is re-
processed, it is to be hoped everybody
will make a contribution to the col
lection, which is Jointly sponsored by
the Senior Fraternity and the Junior
Chamber of Commerce. These organi-
cations have been too willing to under
take hard tasks at inconvenient times
throughout the entire war period, and
the need for waste paper is too great,
for us to neglect their present appeal.
If they are willing to give up their
Sunday afternoon to driving trucks and
gathering up paper that the nations
mills may have a larger stock-pile and
more readily supply the demand, GER
tainly we can spare the few minutes
required and the minor effort involved,
to put out every scrap of paper, all old
magazines and newspapers, in bundles

Don't forget the time-1 O'clock
this afternoon. The trucks will make
the rounds of the city and the suburbs
If one is not before your door immedi-
ately, be patient. There are many
streets to cover. Even the fleet Of

once.
