HEALTH CENTER PLAN
APPROVED BY BOARDS
Of KE|VOSHA LABOR

Kenosha (LPA)-Proposals for a
community health center, to pro-
vide complete health and medical
care on a prepayment basis, were
approved last week by the execu-
tive boards of participating AFL
and CIO groups in this city. The
plan is the elimination of six
week study by a 15-man commit
tee representing the unions.
DR.. Elmer Richman, medical di-
rector Of Labor Health Institute in
st. Louis, made the technical sur
vey for the committee.
Present plans call for the estab-
tlishment of community health CEN
ter to provide comprehensive health
and medical care on a prepayment
basis. Enrolment will be on a group
and individual basis and manage
ment of the center cooperative in
nature. A board of the health CEN
ter, comprised of representatives of
local unions, the Trades and Labor
Council, CIO Council, the Workers
Education Council, and the public
will within the next month draw the
blueprint for the plans which will
be offered in the community.
The ken0sha Health Center will
incorporate under the new Coop
Health Enabling Act, passed in the
recent session of the Wisconsin Leg
islature. The bill, the first of its
knid in the country, was endorsed
widely by labor unions. farm organ
izations, cooperatives, and the MED
ical society in the state. Active
in its sponsorship and drafting was
Rep. George Molinaro, of Kenosha,
an official of United Auto Work
ers-CIO Local 72 in Kenosha, and
one of the leaders in the develop
ment of the Kenosha Health Cen
ter plans.
Following closely the develop
ments in kenosha, Racine, Wise,
labor unions have held open forums
on the question of health plans for
their community under the leader
ship of Hugh Reichard, Racine
UAW Education Council director.
DR.. Michael Shadid, president of
the Cooperative Health Federation
of America, and DR.. Elmer Rich
man, vice-president, have led two
of these sessions in the series. Dis
cussion of insurance coverages,
costs of medical care, and possible
plans for the community have al
ready been covered.
Union members in both Kenosha
and Racine are studying other la
Dor health plans in existence and
considering possible joint action be-
tween the two groups. Indications
are, however, that the need for
care will necessitate the
development of at least two health |
,enters in the respective communi-
lies and possible joint action even
,ually in disqualification.

HAVE YOU HEARD?
By MARY MOORE

That the observance Of Christ
mas was once forbidden in Eng
land? 1t happened during the re-
formation, when the reformers
thought that the undue joIlity Of
Christmas was sacrilegious, so on
December "a, 1862, Parliament or
dered that "no observance shall be
held Of the five and twentieth day
of December, nor any solemnity
used or exercised in churches upon
that day in respect thereof"
1t was in the year 1916 that the
idea Of sending cards to friends
at Christmas time was originated
in England by Sir Henry Cole.
These cards were no bigger than
the ordinary visiting card, but were
distinguished by a small colored
design, usually of holly or mistle-
toe. Although only a thousand were
sold the first year, by 1860 send
ing Christmas cards was a general
custom throughout England, and to-
day millions of such greetings are
mailed every Yuletide.
While the great ajority of per-
sons buy a commercial Christmas
card and have their name printed
or engraved thereon, those persons
with artistic ability are designing
and making their own individual
lied card.

UAW HOUSEKEEPING
MAY SAVE S50O,0OO

Detroit (LPA)-A retrenchment
'program initiated by President
Walter Reuther of the United Auto
Workers, and calculated to save
nearly $5o0,c00 was on its way to-
ward completion this week.
One Of the first victims of the
housecleaning in the JAW which
began as soon as Reuther was elect
ed for his second term as president
was General Counsel Maurice Sug-
ar, who was dropped. Sugar, fre-
quently associated with Reuther's
opponents, drew a $25,0C0 annual
retainer. About rs regional staff
employees, or about 20 per cent,
were expected to be dismissed.
In the Washington office, Reu-
ther announced that Don Montgom-
cry, who has been employed by the
JAW as consumers counsel since
Feb. 1943, will be chief Of the of
flee. Montgomery will have over
all responsibility for relations with
the executive and legislative
branches of the government, and
for keeping both the JAW and
government agencies informed Of
developments of mutual concern. In
addition he will serve as consul
tant to the education department,
which has taken over the consumer
counsel work pioneered by him
since 1913.
Paul Stifton was appointed ma
tional legislative representative.
After 10 years as a newspaper
man with the United Press and the
New York World, Sifton received
a civil service appointment as La
Dor Publications Editor in the N.
Y. State Labor Dept. He was pro-
NOTED to Deputy Industrial Com
missioner and Administrators of
Placement & Unemployment Insur-
ance.
In 1888 Sifton became Deputy
Wage Hour Administrator in the
U. S. Labor Dept and was instru-
mental in defeating the Barden
amendments which would have re-
moved 100000 workers from the
protection of various sections of
the Act.
Reuther also named Nathan
Weinberg, former senior labor con-
sultant for the War Production
Board, to the post of research di-
rector. He will succeed James Wis
hart, long considered an opponent
of Reuther.
In addition, the executive board
removed the officers of the Allis-
Chalmers local, allegedly under
Communist domination for years.
The local last spring ended a dis
astrous 11-month strike and was
forced to return to work without a
contract or even union recognition.
Named as administrator for the To-
cal was Duane Greathouse, Reu-
ther supporter and newly-elected
regional director for the Chicago
Wisconsin area.

GREEN INVITES MINERS TO REJolN
AFL; SAYS ACTION CHEERS FOES
Washington. d. c.. GLNS)

Washington, D. C. QLNS) -
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor has
invited the United Mine Workers
of America to reconsider its ac-
tion in leaving the AFL and to re-
sumo its affiliation.
In his first statement since UNI
w President John l.. Lewis an
nounced the miners were leaving
the federation, President Green
said:
"The membership of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor sincerely
regrets the withdrawal of affilia-
ton on the part of the United Mine
Workers of America. The friends
of organized labor will be disap-
pointed but the enemies of both
the United Mine Workers of AM
erica and the American Federation
of Labor have been made happy.
"Need OF Unity Pressing"
"We are passing through a his
toric period when the need for
unity within the ranks of labor is
pressing and urgent. Our enemies
are united against us. Can we sue
cessfully cope with our united
enemies by creating division with
in our own rands?
"The record shows that the Of
ficers and members of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor are united
in their opposition to the Taft
Hartley law. Differences as to the
methods which should be employ
ed in fighting the act developed
at the recent convention of the fed
Grafton in San Francisco. These diff
ferences were settled through the
utilization of the democratic pro-
cess. The delegates decided the
question at issue by more than a
two thirds vote. 1t was assumed
that all who participated in the dis
cussions and deliberations of the
would abide by the de-
cision of the delegates: That is the
democratic way. Congress, state
city councils and even
the Supreme Court of the United
States settle differences in that
way. There is no better way which
can be utilized or followed. 1t is
that any part of a mi
nority should withdraw from affi-
Iiation with a deliberated body be-
cause it decided against them, if
we are to preserve the principle of
democracy and be governed in for
nation of policies by the demo-
cratic process.
"We hope that after calm delib-
Grafton and a consideration of all
The facts that the United Mine
Workers of America will reconsid- |
er their action and return to the
Federation of Labor. We
shall do all within our power to
bring about this result"

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

Thursday continues as an Off
cial "eggless" day although it is
no longer "poultryless" day. 1t
is to cut the demand for eggs at
this season of low production and
thus encourage farmers to reduce
their flocks now to save grain, is
the explanation given by the mark
eting specialists Of the u. S. Dept
OF Agriculture.
Farmers are asked to get rid of
all hens which are no longer laying
enough eggs to be worth the grain
they eat. The poultry industry con-
siders this economically wise.
Production Of eggs will increase
from now to peak in April, pro-
viding plenty for adequate diets. An
egg day per person is the allow
ance for an abundant diet, but Am
ericans have been eating much
more than an abundancy during
the last year.
Every American should under
stand that reduction Of f4ocks, even
though it means somewhat fewer
eggs, is essential for grain saving
and the feeding of hungry people
abroad. These are all parts of the
same goal. Cooperation is needed
not only from housewives planning
home meals but also from people
who eat out, and from restaurants,
hotels and other institutions.

sine bags are now on store shelves

The Alabama Experiment Sta
tion has developed a new sweet

This flour is made by baking
sweetpotatoes, peeling, pulping, and
then drying, toasting and finally
the pulp. 1t is light yell
low in color but when moistened
turns a deep orange brown.
Cakes and cookies made with it
do not dry out rapidly because the

and pies.
