 TO CRIPPLE NATION

The rail strike, which was called yesterday threatened to cripple the nation as it's full effects were felt today.
 The strike began yesterday when the strike deadline arrived with no word from the White House Train crews in New York Grand Central Terminal left their posts at 5 D. m. JEST and in Chicago Union Station loudspeakers at , p:m: (CST) indicatsd the na- tional railroad strike is on."
 Today the secondary and most disasterous effect on the nation was felt in the food market. In Chicago fresh vegetables and non- OPA controlled commodities scared in price as buyers tried to obtain the last stocks that got in just un- der the wire.

FOUR FIRE ALARMS

Proof of the nice dry summer weather we are having comes not from the weather bureau this week but from Fire Grief Wm. Grants fire call book. For teh month Of May he has recorded and chased six blazes with the last four being in a four day period. Gwen La Guardia would be proud of thatl.
 The first call was a drill call n May 6, to get in practice for the rest of the month, apparently. On May 12 they put out a furnace fire in the City Hall; on May 13 il was roof fire on the Eva Blake residence on Church street; May 20 a call was answered at the Lloyd Goodrich residence and on May 21 and 22 roof fires were put out at the Jim Howard residence near the Crab Cannery float. The final alarm to date was yesterday, May 2S, to at the Charles Frater home.
 All the fires were minor and easily put out but Fire Chief Grant cautioned townspeople to be more careful during this dry spell as 1t doesn't take much to start 8 blaze.

POPPY DAY TO BE
 OBSERVED ON SATURDAY

The American Legion Auxiliary will sell Memorial Day Topples next Saturday, funds of which go for the benefit of veterans and vet eran's families.
 How the wild poppy of France and Belgium became the memorial flower of America's dead of both world wars was described by Mrs. Wilma Mason. Poppy Chairman of Merlin Elmer Palmer Unit of the American Legoin Auxiliary, as the Unit went forward with prepara- tions for observance of Poppy Day here.
 Amid the desolation of the battlefront in the first world war" said Mrs. Mason. the poppies were the one touch of natures beauty that survived The little red flow CTS grew along the trenches and shell holes, and over the raw earth of the battle graves In the minds of the men fighting there, the poppies became associated with their dead comrades.
 Expression was given to this sentiment by Colonel John MeCrae. Canadian Medical Officer, in his immortal poem, with it's lines:
 Tn Flanders field the poppies
 grow
 Between the crosses row on row
 "Replicas of the Flanders field poppy were first worn in America in honor of the war dead in 1918, and the wearing of these flowers on the Saturday before Memorial Day soon became nationwide custom.
 When the second world war began claiming American lives, the poppy, quite naturally became the symbol of these added sacrifices for the nation. The largest part of the World War II battle deaths al- so occurred in northern Europe where the poppy grows, but no matter where Americans died, the poppy pays tribute to them.
 Disabled veterans of both wars now make the poppy to be worn in memory of the dead of both wars. Poppy Day contributions aid the disabled of both wars, their famil- ies, and the families of the dead. Millions of Americans will wear the veteran-made poppies of the American Legion Auxiliary this year h silent tribute to those who lie beneath the crosses in Flanders fields and in the American ceme- teries throughout the world.'

KIWANIS MEMBERS
 HERE ON SCOUT TOUR

A. H. Syyerson, of Spokane, Washington, and Lee F. Campbell of Middleboro. Kentucky, the lat ter a member of the National Board of Kiwanis, were in Wran- gell this week scouting possibilities for formation of a Kiwanis Club here. They have visited every town in the Territory and from here they went to Ketchikan.
 Kiwanis. of which there arc 230O clubs in the United States and Canada, they explained, is a club based upon the principle of service. It capitalizes for construc- tive community service the fellow ship of a group of men who eat together once a week. It develops friendship and encourages leader ship. It seeks to build better com munities through intelligent inter- est and active, unselfish loyalty
 MT. Syverson and Mir. Campbell said they had found much interest in Kiwanis throughout the Terri tory and next month an organizer would cover the Territory organiZ- ing clubs in towns which signified their desire to have a club.
 Kiwanis began in 1914 when Allen s. Browne, a fraternal or ganfzer, and Joseph G. France, q business man of Detroit, Michigan. formed a businessman's club. The name comes from the Indian "Kee- wanis" which means "To make ones self known" or ito impress ones self.'

Labor Leaders Attack
Second Conviction in.
Alexandra Fight Case

Judge william p. Woolls Of Alex
andria Corporation Court today had
under advisement a motion by
George D. Hardman and James G.
Turner, jr, Central Labor Union
ofncials, that he set aside jury
verdict of guilty and recommends
ton OF $400 fines each for assault
and battery on j. Fred Kirchner
State labor inspector, at a union
meeting January Z.
The five-man jury hearing an
appeal, brought in its verdict after
nearly two hours of deliberations
yesterday. It recommended the
lesser penalty in contrast to the
sentences Of 80 days in jail and $3.50
fine for each imposed by Assistant
Judge Harry F. Kennedy of the
Civil and Police Court.
The motion to set aside the ver-
dict was made through Attorneys
Maurice D. Rosenberg and Keith
Hunt Of Alexandra, and T. Warren
Messick. Roanoke. Judge Woolls
agreed to defer imposition OF SEN
tence and to take the motion under
advisement pending presentation Of
additional evidence.
The trial, which lasted a day and
a half, was based by Mr.. Kirchner,
former president Of the Alexandria
Central Labor Union, that the at
tack on him by Mr.. Turner resulted
in his receiving broken nose and
eye injuries and was unprovoked.
He charged it was brought about
by his protest Of the "high-handed
manner" in which Mr.. Hardman,
president of the union, and Mr..
Turner, who was appointed secretary
protein Of the meeting, were con-
Quoting the proceedings.
The State, through Common
wealth's Attorney Albert v. Bryan,
presented witnesses who testified
Mr.. Hardman as well as Mr.. Turner
struck Mr.. Kirchner after an argu-
ment over the reading Of the min
utes, and that Mr.: Kirchner did not
strike any one.
Appellants witnesses testified that
Mr.. Kirchner and q group Of his
friends advanced on Mr.. Turner
and that Mr.. Kirchner struck the
first blow. Mr.. Turner admitted he
attacked, but claimed that he struck
only after he had been hit by Mr..
Kirchner. Mr.. Hardman denied en-
tering the fight and his contention
was sustained by other witnesses.
The case has aroused widespread
interest and has resulted in the
formation OF a Hardman-Turner
Defense Committee which has been
engaged in raising funds to finance
the defense as well as circulating
pamphlets setting forth information
on the case.
