Oil Workers Nav
Seek New Raises

Fort Worth, Tex. (FP)-The inter-
national executive council of the Oil
Workers International Union, meet
ing in pre-convention session here,
sounded what may be the opening
gun in new nation wide drive for
general wage increases.
A council statement that workers
in the oil industry have had their
purchasing power cut 25 per cent
since June 30'' was interpreted as an
indication the union will seek raises
of at least that much for it's MEM
bers.
The OWIU last fall spearheaded a
country drive to maintain work.
ers' take-home pay and obtained an
18 per cent wage raise, averaging
22.7c an hour. This increase has al
ready been wiped out by price in
creases since OPA was mutilated, the
council said.
The statement, released by Presi-
dent o. A. Knight, said the nations
oil workers have suffered a 'catas-
trophic" lowering in living standards
and find themselves caught in an
Economic scissors" between soaring
living costs and lowered purchasing
power.
At the same time, the council as
serted, oil companies will net about a
billion dollars in the coming year by
raising crude oil prices 25c barrel
and boosting gasoline prices 1c or &c
gallon since petroleum products
were exempt from the new price con-
troll bill.
"The nations oil workers do not in
tend to stand idly by while their liv-
ing standards are cut drastically and
oil company profits soar to new
heights" the union warned.

Here is a kettle of fish.

mere IL kcLLle Vi HSn.
There is a great story abroad to
the effect that everybody has more
money now than ever before.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is a
hunk Of bunk.
There are some very sound figures
on this business Of who has how
much.
The cold, frizzling fact is that
about half the people have no cash
reserves Of any kind.
And the top 10 per cent have about
50 per cent of all the personal cash
reserves now floating around.
Yes, you can say it again: Them
as has gifts.
Everybody" just doesn't have
more money than ever-or shall we
play safe and say that Everybody
doesn't have more buying power than
ever.
1t is true that those working get
more dollars than ever in their pay
envelopes, but it also is true that
more dollars have to be paid out for
the same number of commodities, so
that when the net balance is struck
at the end of the week it gets pretty
ishy to say that everybody has more
money than ever.
Charts ordinarily are made with
the high lines running up the right
hand side.
If you chart the savings picture
that way you will find that there is a
left hand half of the picture in which
savings show up either missing com
pletely, or showing just shadow
like that 5 o'clock shadow, which is
not much of an asset.
And the strange thing is that no.
body is doing much about that left
hand side of the picture In it are the
people for whom nobody ever does
much Of anything and who haven't
learned how to do much Of anything
for themselves. There's a heap of
tragedy in that left hand half.
OF course in that left hand half of
the picture there are a lot of fixed
income people, perhaps retired for
age, with small pensions.
And there are the economic misfts
and any number of others who, for
one reason or another, "don't get
ahead"
But included also are hordes of men
and women for whom unions ought
to mean something-who should be
reached and helped by unions.
Why they are not reached for and
helped would take a book full of ex-
planation, added to heap of exami-
nation, studying, questioning and
sitting.
But one thing we do know and it's
not too pleasant. Many unions, fat
and powerful, have forgotten their
zeal for those who need help. They
have forgotten how to be apostles,
crying and battling for the helpless.
Not all, by any means, have for
gotten-but too many.

GLAMOR

Girls going away to college already
have their campus wardrobes well
underway and every girl will want to
major in accessories this fall. The
new Huba Huba scarf is definitely
whistle-bait and is destined to be the
rage as a favorite covering for heads.
This terrific square is made of spun
rayon in all the high fall colors and
has a contrasting border all around
with the words "Huba Huba" written
all around. All sorts of jive express
sions are scrawled in the center, such
as "Def', Match, and lot Of the
newer slang.
Other hep scarves are made in
boldly colored geometric designs,
checked squares or gaudy stripes.
Belts are inches and inches wide of
fine fooled feathers with designs for
every figure.
Bulky looking hand crochet gloves
Of bright color woods are featured for
northern campuses, and present at
glance a hand "like ham,"
Campus jewelry seems to be in
splred from romantic Medieval days.
Long gold chains and chatelaines
swathe both hips and throat. Neck
laces and bracelets of tiny enameled
plates with Victorian flavor jingle
iangle, and belts with pouch pocket
purses look as if they came straight

WHAT'S COOKIN

Are you familiar with Brunswick
Stew? 1t always sounded like clean
ing up the kitchen to me, but here is
an actual recipe: Cut up small
chicken and brown in bacon fat. Cut
three onions in rings and brown In
same fat. Put chicken in boiler, add
8 or cups water and simmer one
hour. Add A tomatoes quartered, or
one can condensed tomato soup, l cup
green lima beans, potatoes sliced
thin, / stick butter, cup fresh corn
and cook until tender Add more
water if necessary. Serve over bak-
ing powder biscuits. And it's good,
too.
And this is a nameless dish which
is pretty good eating if you haven't
been to market, or haven't been able
to find any fresh meat or vegetables.
Grease baking dish, lay in 3 or a
potatoes sliced thin, add a can of
peas, drained. Season with pepper,
salt and flour. Slice a can of meat in
about IL slices and lay on top. Pour
over - cup milk and part of the
liquid from peas. Sprinkle meat
lightly with ground cloves and brown
sugar to give that baked ham flavor.
Bake until potatoes are tender. Not
bad, either!

HAVE YOU HEARD?
BY MARY MOORE


Thousands of Canadians are seek
ing to make homes in the U. S. and
it is estimated that 10000 will get
visas this year. The Canadians feel
there is greater opportunity and
higher salaries in this country. The
bulk of the emigrants come from the
professional, managerial and clerical
ranks.
The number of families in the U. S.
will increase more rapidly during the
coming two years than at any time
in the nations history. There will
be an increase of nearly two million
families to bring the total population
for the country to approximately 40
million by July, 194S.
In Berlin, every officer and Amer
lean civilian employee in military
government has been, issued pistol
and taught to shoot to kill cas- a
measure of self defense against civ
ilian violence should it arise"
Officers are all instructed to see
that their wives and children also
know how to use guns.
1t is said that 1,557,000 pounds of
rice was wasted at weddings in the
u. S. last year-enough to feed
thousands of starving Chinese.

Wildlife Group Is
Seeking Members

Raleigh-This month, the North
Carolina Wildlife Federation has
launched an intensive member
ship drive with a goal of 10000
members by June l, it was an
nounced today by President P.
K. Gravely, of Rocky Mount.
President Gravely explained
that the drive will continue
through May 81, and the efforts
to run the membership from it's
present figure of more than 49,
900 to 10000 will be made through
affiliated local clubs. In this
connection it was pointed out that
the suggestion for the member
ship drive was the result of re-
cent district meetings of county
clubs.
The office of Ross o. Stevens,
executive director of the fedora
ton, is sending out letters to To-
cal clubs, outlining the campaign
and its objective. Furthermore,
the federation office has prepar-
ed a list of speakers who are
available for appearances in in
terest of the drive. He explained
that these speakers are available
to local civic clubs, as well as
to Wildlife organizations.
The federation has recently
adopted a uniform membership
card, and this will be issued in
the coming campaign.
Director Stevens reported that
the federation now has SO affilia-
ted clubs in 81 counties, and he
said that members of these or
CARNATIONS are showing great
enthusiasm for the federation's
program.
The federation, which was for
mally organized in June, 1945,
has as major objective, the Gre
alton of a separate state division
of game and inland fisheries as
a means of giving North Carolina
better wildlife program. To
this end, the federation will
sponsor bill in the 1947 general
assembly for creation of this de-
partment.

in effect, Mr.. Wyatt is seeking
an appropriation of $6O0,OOO,oOO
for subsidy purposes in order to
speed production of building ma
terials. Although there is strong
opposition to such a subsidy in
congress, it looks as though it
will take either a subsidy or an
easing of price restrictions on
building materials to break pro-
duction bottlenecks.
Many congressman consider
the subsidy idea as merely a
subterfuge for hiding an infla-
tionary movement. They argue
that the only difference between
permitting a price rise and allow
ing a government subsidy is this:
the subsidy plan calls for pay
ment of the increased costs by
all taxpayers while price in
creases confine the extra costs
to those who will benefit from
the use of building materials
They explain that we are in no
way holding the line against in
flation if we simply keep prices
down by government handouts
to producers. If such a plan
were permitted in the building
industry, they point out, there
is no reason why it should not be
used to break other bottlenecks.
Eventually the answer will
probably be to permit another
bulge in the price line by per-
hitting price increases for build
ing materials.
Extension of selective service,
which army men say is essen
tial if we want to maintain a
strong army, has been a subject

the kitchen, especially, waste
needs to be organized-garbage
as well as bags, paper, boxes,
bottles and cans. In the rest Of
the house there are newspapers,
magazines, and old clothes.
Some of this trash" may be
saved and used again by thrifty
housewives if they have space
to keep it. Some may be given
away or sold for salvage the rest
should be collected and discard
ed promptly. In many kitchens
a drawer or a rack may be used
to hold paper bags, wrapping
| paper and string. An upper
shelf may be given to jars and
glasses that can be reused for
home canning and preserving.
Too often magazines are allow
ed to pile up, filling needed space
and catching dust. A better plan
is to pass them on regularly to
the many hospitals, recreation
centers or other institutions in
need of reading matter.
A waste basket in every room
will save much time. Garbage
should be kept tightly covered
both indoors and out and dis
posed of as promptly as possible.
Other trash should be burned
regularly or kept in a covered
container until carried away.

Washington, D. C.-The trend
toward relaxation of government
price and priority controls was
sharply reversed when Wilson
Wyatt, federal housing expedi-
ter, issued his recent order
clamping down on construction
of everything but veterans homes.
Under the new order, no new
buildings or homes can be con-
structed without government
permission, the purpose being to
steer all materials and labor into
the construction of low-priced
homes for veterans. Not only
does the order affect building,
but also puts stringent curbs on
repairs of any kind.
The order prohibits the ex-
penditure of more than $500 for
any home improvement, with
out getting special permission
from the Civilian Production adj
ministration, and limits improve
ments on farm buildings to $1,000.
Special permission will be given
only when the applicant can
prove that a bigger expenditure
is necessary for such reasons as
health, sanitation or safety.
According to Mr.. Wyatt, the
order was necessary because Of
the shortage of most building
materials. It is estimated that
the Order will interrupt plans for
$1Agog000,00 worth of con-
struction but will speed the COM
pletion of 100000 dwelling
units which are urgently needed
for veterans and their families.
In addition to this drastic curb
on construction which already is

Fight Against Initiation Is
Seen Needing PulpWood

Quoting President Truman to
the effect that production OF
goods and services for the civilian
| market is higher today than ever
before in the nations history, in
war or in peace, and still going
up" the Ashe County Victory
Pulpwood Committee this week
stressed the urgent need for more
pulpwood production now ito

products that are coming into the
market"
"Pulpwood produces paper and
paperboard for wrapping, pack
aging and shipping these new ar
ticles," said the committee. ut
produces newsprint for advertis-
ing them as well as all other diff
ferent classifications Of paper
that are so essential in the op-
Grafton and maintenance of mo-
dern business"
The committee pointed out that
unless there is enough paper
paper-board and other pulpwood
products to go around, the entire
American distribution system
will be slowed"
''This," added the committee
could become another long ster
in the direction of initiation"
President Truman's statement
was made at a press conference
at which time he commented or
the quarterly reconversion re-
port to the nation, issued by Re-
conversion Director John w
Snyder.
1--WE are over the hump of re-
conversion" the president pro-
claimed as he pointed out that
the Snyder report showed that
civilian production had now
reached an all-time record an
nual level of 1854, 000,OOO,OOO as
compared with the rate of $128,-
OOO, 100000 on VI Day nearly
seven months ago, and $128, 0OO,'
100000 in 1889.
The president warned against
complacency and over-optimism
saying: 1--WE cannot afford fol
, one minute to relax our fight
against initiation. Our progress
to date will be completely null
lifted if we do"

Timely Hints
By RUTH CURRENT

When. working out a family
spending plan, remember to in
clude the children, family life
specialists say. A child's expert
ence in handling money is part
of the training which home life
provides.
Some families start the young
sters off by making them respon-
sible for small allowance. Then
as the children grow older, they
learn more about the needs and
problems of the family as a
whole. Children are usually
more willing to go without some
of the things they would like to
have, if they see their respon-
sibility in relation to the needs
of others.
