THE FRAMEWORK OF
INDUSTRY

The people of the United States
are so used to big figures and an
abundant supply of everything when
they want it that they pretty much
take the nations basic industries and
the products they produce for
granted. Even disastrous strikes
have been unable to cripple the
country to the extent it would seem
they would.
Comparisons are necessary to ap-
preciate our industries. For ex-
ample, the wartime output of steel
in Japan was 9,eS6,QO0 tons in the
record year of l943. But the United
States mills could have made that
steel in 38 days.
Few people think of steel in con-
nection with farming. The first
iron made here was produced in
1915 Many of the first iron work
ers were farmers whose needs for
the metal were so pressing that they
would leave their fields to work in
the local blast furnaces making iron
for ploughshares, nails, hand tools,
etc. The farmer is now among the
largest consumers of steel. Strange
as it may seem, stell has largely
replaced the horse on farms. With
out modern motor equipment the
farmer would be helpless today.
It would not be many months be-
fore the United States would come
to- an absolute standstill if its steel
was shut off.
II is a good thing for the public
to become aware of how it is af-
fected by conditions which encour-
age or discourage our basic indus
tries, and steel is the framework |

WORK COMES FROM
ACROSS THE WORLD

The Buckingham Jewelry Store
receives many watches from distant
states which are sent for repair.
A few days ago Mr. Buckingham
was greatly surprised to receive a
watch from a gentleman by the
name of Agaahan, whose home is
on an island off the mainland of
India. The jeweler was puzzled to
know how the East Indian could
have known about the local shop,
until a representative from The
Western News dropped by, and in
formed him that Agaahan read his
advertisement in The Western News.
Incidently the jewelry store has
just received a new L & R Precision

STATE MEDICINE
COSTS MONEY

1t is no accident that very little
is said by the proponents of state
medicine as to the cost of their
proposals. Their arguments are con-
fined to humanitarianism because
the problem of cost is too unpleas-
ant to discuss.
But the people have got to face
the cost of social security and social
zed medicine for they must pay
the taxes to support them. They
should not be sold bill of goods
until they know what it will cost.
One competent authority writes,
During the next ten or fifteen
years, the total annual cost of social
insurance will be somewhere be-
tween one-seventh and one-sixth of
the payroll, or $40 to $12 billion
It is almost certain that before the
costs are stabilized, they viii equal
or exceed those of the British sys-
tenn which are estimated at 2426
of the wage bill The same author
ity estimated the cost of state
medicine alone, such as proposed
in the Wagner-Murray bill, at 81
billion by 1860

cans to think about

-HOLLYWOOD-"If you can

I also explained that the X-rav-
ing all the men at the plant was a
small n and that occasionally
n of the small films does not
come out clear.
"The X-ray at the plant didn't
hurt, did it ?' 1 asked.
mo, DOCTOR he said. 1T wasn't
any more than having your picture
taken"
Then why not let me take an
other one, to find out for sure
whether your lungs are all right T.
He consented and we took the X
ray. When the plate had been de
'velopea and 1 looked at it, ]
could find nothing wrong with
Sans lungs. 1 checked with the
tuberculosis association and got
permission to see the film taken
/ at the plant. AS I had suspected
there was a cloudy spot on the
first film which had disappeared
when the second one was taken.
When Sam returned to my office
for a report, I showed him the
two films and pointed out the
cloudy spot.
You r all right, SAM" I told
losis. But you did have a mild
first X-ray picture was taken. II
is a good thing the nurse sent
you home and your wife made
you good. Because of it. the cloudy
spot has cleared up"
Sam was greatly relieved. Be
fore he left my office he said he
was going to tell all his friends
at the plant who had received pa
pers like his to go to a doctor for
a check-up. Some Of them came
to me. After a thorough examina-
ton, which included laboratory
tests as well as X-rays, 1 found
that n Of them did have tuber-
culosis. He was fortunate, how
ever, in that the disease had been
discovered early. Arrangements
were made for him to obtain leave
of absence from his job while be
was undergoing treatment. He is
getting along fine and in all pro-
liability will soon be able to re-
turn to work.
If it had not been for the mass
X-ray examinations at the plant,
this man might have gone along
for months without knowing he
had a serious disease. BY this time
the disease might have developed
to the point where the cure would
have been a long drawn out pro
cess Meanwhile, too, he might have
given the disease to Sam and the
other men who worked with hin
because tuberculosis is catching.
Sam and his friends are nov
sold on the idea of X-rays. The.

ORGANIZED BASEBALL 100
YEARS OLD WE'D, JUNE 10

NEW YORK, N. Y. June 1e-
Organized baseball is exactly 100
years old today. The first record
ed match game of baseball was
played on June 10, 1916, at the
Elysian Fields in Hoboken. New
Jersey. The game was played by
the Knickerbockers and the New
York Nine. Both teams were COM
posed of young New York gentle
men who were trying their hand
at an old game with a new set
of rules. Though the Knickerboc-
kers had organized in 1915 and
had played among themselves, it
wasn't until June 6, 1916 that an
'upstart' team, the New York Nine
challenged them to a match on
the afternoon of June 10, 1846.
The place selected was the Ely-
sian Fields in Hoboken, now the
site of the Maxwell House Coffee
Plant of the General Foods Cor
poration The Elysian Fields was
the acknowledged playground for
New York's sporting blue-bloods
throughout the middle decades of
the 10th Century.
Despite the fact that the highly
touted Knickerbockers had been
organized for a year or more and
had played ball together since
1912, the newly organized New
York Nine defeated them by the
Uneven score of % to 1 in four
innings. In those days the rules
stated that the game ended when
one team had amassed 81 aces or
runs. The Knicks paid off with a
steak dinner at the Old McCarty's
Hotel.
