tions previously adopted by the

was adopted unanimously during
the three-hour meeting.
Investigation Asked.
The resolutions asked the State
Federation and the AFL to investi-
gate the action of Gov. Tuck in con-
nection with the threatened VEPCC
strike, which was averted when the
company and representatives of the
International Brotherhood of EleC-
trical Workers agreed two days be-
fore the strike deadline to arbitrate
issues on which the two parties hac
not agreed previously.
Lewis G. Hines, national legisla.
tive representative Of the American

The AFL assistant counsel ais
said he told the Richmond gather
ing:
In one exceedingly importan
sense, Gov. Tuck's arbitrary actio,
was entirely new and unprecedent
ed. There have been other in
stances in our history where eXecu

We are very much interested in

tensive investigation we feel that
the time is ripe for this undertaking,
believing this so strongly, we have
taken an option on a ten acre tract,
conveniently located. We have in
structed our engineering department
to start surveying off the lots,
streets, sidewalks, water, gas and
sewerage lines.
We have allotted the sumof 500
10000 for the purchase and develop
ment OF this tract, and can assure
you will be subdivision you will
be justly proud Of There will be
many attractive features to this sub
division, one will be a community
swimming pool, provided the water
plant OF your city can supply the
water, the other will be concrete
sidewalks, and asphalt streets thru
out the subdivision, and utility lines
run up to the property lines.
We have also instructed our adj
vertising department to get out cir
culars and place full page ad in
the next issue of your county papers,
explaining in detail. '.
We believe that we will be able
to sell lots with ample footage to
build any type of house for $4,000
or 100000 each including improve

Being mortgage bankers we are in
position to finance the building of
homes on long terms with low in

surance, very attractive feature in
itself. However, it is our plan to sell
only one lot to purchaser as we
want home owners and not land
owners.
We are not asking that you spon-
sor this project but we would like
to be assured of the clubs good will
and cooperation. If this meets with
your approval, have your secretary
advise us, and we will have our Mr..
MCGEE meet with you next Wednes-

Department of Agriculture's state
ment that more than half the an
nual 500,000,000 pound fat salvage
potential still goes down the drain.
Every woman can cooperate with
the Presidents Famine Emergency
Committee by using less wheat and
fats and oils products, but probably
the most tangible contribution most
housewives can make to this world
food shortage is the used cooking
fat she saves and turns over to the
meat dealer for four cents pound.
While obviously Americas fat sal
wage doesn't feed starving people, it
does lessen both consumer and in
dustrial demands upon fats and oils,
and allows more food fats to be
shipped overseas. For when a house
wife uses and reuses her cooking
fats, she makes less demand upon
retail supplies of salad oils, lards,
and shortcomings. When she turns
her household grease over to the
meat dealer for the use of industry,
it means that some of the pressure
on edible fats is relieved.
If every woman currently salvag-
ing fat would set herself up as
committee of one to urge some
friend, not currently saving fat, to
do so regularly, it would not only
double the amount of fat salvaged
and ease the strain on edible fats
and oils, but it would answer the
very personal need for more soap
