LABOR'S BLOCKADE

A few weeks ago, in an editorial
summing up the results of the shut
down of the Port of New York by
strikes, the New York Times said:
" Labor trouble had thrown block
ade around the nation more COM
plete, in what were to be piping times
of peace, than our enemies were ever
able to achieve with submarines in
time of war. .. The result, at home,
was severe setback for the recovery
program, and abroad fresh ques-
tioning of the strength and unity OF
the American people"
The Times does not deny that
there is justice in some union de-
mands. 1t points out that in various
cases wage adjustments are obviously
needed. But, it observes, These con-
siderations do not justify either the
presentation of exorbitant demands
or a take-it-or-leave-it attitude in the
matter of negotiations.
Labor is apparently of the belief
that any demands, no matter how
ridiculous, will be met if it acts tough
enough. In this belief, unfortunately
for the welfare of the country, it has
been given support by the Federal
government which has almost COM
pletely failed to back up its own an
nounced policies and pricniples.
The truth of the matter is that col
lective bargaining has ceased to exist.
No longer do the parties to a labor
dispute meet, appoint a neutral UNI
pire, present the facts on either side,
and arrive at decision based OIL
truth and justice. The employer is
impotent. Sooner or later, by hook Oh
crook, the unions get what they want
and all that is left for the employ
er is to pay the bills, if he can.
These labor excesses can lead to
but one thing-public revulsion
against union policies and an irresist-
ible public demand for corrective ac-
ton. Is labor so blind as to not see
that the welfare of this country
comes ahead of the selfish interests
of any group-and that labor vic
tories" which are based upon force
and disorder will prove hollow in
deed when the time of reckoning
comes?

THE INDISPENSABLE RESOURCE

Productive land" emphasizes H.
H. Bennett, of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture Chief Of the Soil Con-
servation Service, lis the only natur-
al resource without which we cannol
live. We are completely dependent Oh
it for the food we eat, except fish. We
also depend on it for very large
share of eur clothing and shelter. We
cannot get enough to feed ourselves,
to provide our clothing and shelter.
We cannot get enough to feed our
selves, to provide our clothing, from
the oceans. On any large scale, hy-
droponics would be utterly imprac-
tical. We might conceivably turn
sometime to some form of synthetic
food, as pills, plus roughage. This
appears to be a fantastic extreme,
still far away, and likely, if it ever
comes. it will be decidedly unpopu-
lar. To protect our source of food,
then, the only sensible, practical
tking to do is to protect the produc-
tive land we now have"

HIGH PROTEIN DIET

Medical science is emphasizing
more and more the importance of
high protein diet in both cure and
prevention of disease. Doctors have
established it's usefulness in wound
cabling and recovery from shock,
fractures, burns and infections. New
studies have shown TIE value of pro-
tein in acquiring resistance to dis
ease, IN preventing complications of
pregnancy and during periods OF fast
growth among children.
The housewife knows that the best
sources of high quality protein: meat
milk, fish, poultry, eggs and cheese,
are among the most expensive items
on her shopping list. If she is on a
limited budget, size should learn that
there are less costly foods which can
be substituted if meals are carefully
planned.
Vegetable proteins such as are
found in navy, lima and soy beans,
lentils, whole grain cereals and pea
nut butter, have been considered of
less value than meat proteins. How
ever, it has been discovered that
small amount of animal .protein COM
bined with vegetable varieties adds
greatly to the essential values of the
latter For example, little meat in
dish of dried beans increases several
times the nutritive content of the
beans clone.
Considerable use of milk will also
enable the meal planner to use more
of TIE low cost proteins when meat
is expensive. 1t is always important
m diet low in meat to select foods
such as milk and cheese, which will
supply the necessary minerals and
vitamins as we'll as proteins. If fresh
milk is too expensive for the budget,
or if the family does not like it, the
housewife can use whole dried milk
or dried skim milk. This can be add
ed as dry ingredient to meat loaf,
mashed potatoes, cooked cereals,
bread, pastries and puddings. Other
protein rich foods which can be used
in cooking are soy bean -four, peanut
-four, dried yeast and powdered eggs.

All CLUB NEWS

The All Senior Council met on
Wednesday evening at the home of
president, Donald Balderston, near
Colora. There were twenty-one mem
bers present. The members agreed to
again sponsor record contest, with
a trip TO College Park for the young
ster who has done an outstanding job
in keeping his records on his project.
Tie records are to run from October
1 to June 80.

Christmas party to be held at the
Zion Community Hall on December
18, and trip to the State All Club
meetin,, in Baltimore on January 8.
Selected to talk for the local group
at the State meeting were Ralph Mac
Donald and Mary Crothers as alter
nate.
A fine helping hand is being given
the All club members of Cecil by the
Kiwanis Club of Elkton. They are Of
fering two contests of interest to
the members, with the thought that
participation will develop these
young folks to be better farmers. The
first contest is to offer prize to the
State All Conservation Camp, where
method of soil, forestry and wildlife
conservation are studied. The young
sters are to submit a story of their
conservation efforts from October 1,
1916, to June 80, 1947, and the boy
ir girl doing the best job will get a
weeks trip to the camp, which is to
held near Oakland, in Western Mary
land.
Tke second contest is to be on
record work. The boy or girl who
keeps the best record of his or her
All club activities from October l.,
1916, TO June 80, 1947, will receive
free trip to the state All club week
at College Park, to be held the first
week in August.
The boy or. girl receiving either of
the Kiwanis awards will have fine
opportunity to meet club members
from all parts of Maryland, and to
learn of their activities in their local
clubs. Such events in the past lave
served to immeasurably develop All
club members into better farmers
and citizens.

The United States is trying its level
