came in from out doors with a
distressing tale of woe. She related
that she heard queer noise out
bout de later cellar. Investiga-
ton proved that the old colored
cook was right in saying an in
vestigation was needed. Father
opened the cellar door and there
stretched out close to the air shaft
was old Uncle Amos Flynn, almost
dead. The spark of air flowing
through was all that saved his
life. He must have been in the
cellar doing some little task when
the door was closed for the night.
But of course most anything can
happen in between the rivers here
and there.

BETWEEN THE RIVERS
Bladen, Fender Farmers
Busy With Potato Crops

have made several hundred bush
lels while others only a few. AS
my readers remember there were
practically no sweet potatoes made
or housed in between the rivers
due to the flood waters last year,
no slips were housed for this sea-
sons crop. Our sweet potato slips
came from far and near that we
made u eating potatoes from this
year. Some ordered from plant
farms in other states, some bought
in nearby seed stores, some were
furnished by friends elsewhere and
some never had any at all. But
any way, we do have n Of the
best root crops we most W. had
throughout this section. And many
varieties have been introduced
from the old Bahama, Triumph,
Norton Yam, Porta Rico, Hog Nose
to dukes mixture. Ours are the
latter and they are no drag, either.
Each potato I bake is of a different
color, shape and flavor. They are
sweetening a few up on top Of the
shed. Some who have made sew
eral hundred bushels are finding
a local market for them at the
country stores, while others sell at
their home, prices around $3.50
per bushel. There is food value in
a sweet potato and people are
waking up more and more to the
fact. The weather has been so mild
that the growth has continued and
the vines have made valuable feed
for hogs, giving them a good start
off.
Potato digging time roundabout
old Colly brings wildly to my mind
those happy days at my old home.
Instead of a day or two with a
helper as we house our potato
crop, it required n week with al
least from twelve to half that

was the ventilator, a square made
Of planks bored full Of holes and
reached up above the cellar top.
The walls were double, filled in
between with sawdust. 1t was an
ideal method of keeping sweet
potatoes. The cellar was located on
one side of a little path that led
to the barn lot and on the other

Congressional PROGRAM


1t will be recalled that some
weeks ago the President, follow
ing a precedent set by the late
President Roosevelt, appealed to
the country over the radio to
bring pressure on the Congress
to enact his must program. In
Guided in this program were an
unemployment proposal of $500
a week for 26 weeks for those
displaced war workers who were
unable to secure suitable employ
ment; a full employment propos-
al by which the Federal Govern
ment would undertake to guar
antee employment to all citizens,
both male and female, desiring
work; the enactment of a law
setting up a permanent Fair En-
plovment Practice Commission,
which is now operating under
an Executive Order and a leg
islative directive to wind up its
affairs by the first of July next;
and a number of other measures
to carry out his program. Since
the President requested the peo-
pie of the country to write their
Members of Congress in favor Of
this program, it might be inter-
esting to point out that the res
ponse SO far as we have been
able to ascertain has been NEST
disappointing to the Administra-
fewer than rs letters from our
Congressional District, and with
one exception these were oppos-
ed TO one or more OF the Presi-
dents proposals. Most of the
Members of Congress with whom
we discussed the matter gave
more or less similar reports. How
ever, it is fair to state that the
Members from other sections of
the counry, particularly the in
dustrial East, received a larger
proportion of favorable letters
to the program than did the
Southern Members.
Labor Legislation
In the meantime the House has
been busily engaged in trying
to work out some legislation to
at least partially meet the Pres
ident's request. The so-called
Full Employment Bill is in con-
ference between the two Houses.
The Senate passed a bin some
what in line with the Presidents
recommendations but far short Of
q statutory amendment to re-
quire the Federal Government
to see that these jobs were fur
nished. The House passed an
even less stringent bill which
would, in substance, set up a
Commission to study the ques-
ton of full employment, and a
mother Congressional Commit
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1946-02-08

tee from the two bodies of Con-
gress to make recommendations
on the subject. But they struck
out any suggestion that the Fed
erai Government would be res
ponsible for guaranteeing such
employment by the Federal
Treasury. II would appear now
that the conferees who have been
deadlocked for several weeks
might agree upon a compromise
which would fall short of the
Presidents recommendations.
AT this writing the House is
considering a labor bill on the
floor, the ultimate outcome OF
which is also in doubt. The
House Labor Committee, which
is largely made up of Members
from industrial districts and
therefore pro labor, turned down
the Presidents recommendation
for a Fact Finding Commission
with the authority to subpoena
industry's books and more or less
fix wages upon the sbility OF in
dustry to pay, together with a
cooling off period of 80 days,
The bill reported was unsatis-
factory to the Administration,
but when an application wa
made for a rule the Committee
on Rules granted a rule making
in order the so-called Case Bill
which was the result Of a coali-
ton of the efforts of Northern
Republicans and Southern Demo-
Gratis to enact a law requiring,
among other things, a mutually
of obligation between labor and
industry, the prevention of vio-
lence in strikes, and at the same
time upholding the right of col
lective bargaining. The labor
forces made a strong fight on the
rule, but the rule was adopted
by the House on a vote of 254-
ia. This would indicate that the
House Members are in a mood
to do something about these UNI
fortunate strikes and to prevent
labor from doing now what in
dustry did before. That is to say
that there are MANY Members
Of the House who believe in the
rights of labor but are afraid
that if labor is permitted now
that it has become big business
to 60 too far it will cause the
pendulum to swing back just as
it did against industry and re-
suit in labor's loss of many of
its rights and privileges here
tofore gained, The indications
are that the House will pass the
Case Bill. The measure will then
go to the Senate where it may
or may not be passed. Ii will
be recalled that during the war
the House passed several bills
curbing the right of labor to
strike during wartime against
the Government but both the
Administration and labor were
strong enough in the Senate To
prevent the enactment of these
bills into law.
