FACE EVICTION

Three thousand New London families received Eviction No tices" within the past few weeks.
 These sample notices explain the present situation in regard to rent control, stating that Eviction may be just around the corner for you!" because of the moves which Con- gress is making towards complete elimination of rent controls. Ten ants, to whom the notices are ad- dressed, are urged to write or wire their congressman in order to keep the rent controls intact.
 The notices were distributed by members of the New London Chapter of the Progressive Citizens of America.

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

Once again the question of es- tablishing a Fair Employment Prac- tice Law comes up in State Leg islature. After a packed hearing that saw almost twelve hundred people, unanimous in their demand for the passage of the Ward-Gillie Bill, it will be interesting to see what the Republican dominated legislature will do.
 The Ward-Gillie Bill, if enacted into law, would prohibit any dis criminatory employment practices based upon race, color, religion, or national origin. Although 1t makes room for an educational program to break down prejudice it would also impose a penalty upon any em- ployer who actively discriminates against an employee. Any en- ployer who refuses to hire quail flied person because of race or re- ligion could be fined by the courts.
 Several nearby states, notably Massachusetts and New YOk, have had similar law in operation. So far there is nothing to indicate that such a law cannot work.
 Not to pass such a law in Con- necticut is to halt the march of democratic progress. Franklin Roosevelt saw the great need for an FEPC when he established it as a war time measure. It was his hope that Congress would enact it into permanent law. Congress, so far, has not, but there is no reason why states can't take the initiative to do so.
 No one has a right to deprive a man of the most basic democratic right-the right to earn a living. Discrimination in any form harms the country as whole. The op- portunity to obtain employment without discriminatory interference | must be declared a civil right.
 The people of Conn, have dem- onstrated their will. Church, labor and civic groups testified that they are behind an FEPC in Conn.,, an FEPC with teeth in it.
 Surely the legislators of Conn, will not dare to thwart the peoples will on this all important measure

Last Monday afternoon one of my good friends phoned to ask me over for tea. Knowing that doing the laundry for the family of eight usually took the entire day, asked her if she had postponed the wash- ing. We'll, she laughed and told me she was just finishing the ironing .. to come right over because she had something to show me.
 There was just a hint of excite ment in her voice that aroused my curiosity so l hustled right over to learn her secret. When l came in she showed me the very latest work saver for the home - the Hamilton Automatic clothes dryer! 1t was installed in her basement laundry, and. she told me that her complete laundry was done right in that room washing, drying, and ironing certainty saving lot of steps up and down stairs with heavy clothes baskets. She mar veled at the time saved -- not only because she ironed while the clothes were washing and drying but because the dryer elimS- mated the necessity for re-washing garments which had fallen to the ground, on which dust or soot had settled. Then she took me upstairs to show me a basket of towels and linen, just washed and dryed. She went on to explain that by some special process of the dryer the clothes were sanitized, leaving every piece fluffy, clean, and sweet smelling just as if they had dried in a warm summer wind!
 It was an experience for me just to see my friend looking fresh and rested after doing the weeks wask- ing. And as we sat drinking our tea, we remarked how fortu- nate the modern housewife is with so many -conveniences to make her work easy. Our methods are cer- tainly a far cry from those of Grandmother's day, aren't they?

Connecticut's new beauty shop order, covering both men and women, became effective March 3. It sets the highest weekly guar antee, $28 for experienced opera tors who work on any part of four or more days a week. It also provides them an overtime rate of 95 cents an hour after A hours.
 The highest basic hourly inln- imum is Oregon's 66 cents for women and minors engaged in can- ming and processing of fruits, veg etables and fish, except where the worker is employed by a farmer on his own product. Overtime pay of time and a half i5 required for hours in excess oH 10 a day, and double time for over F hours.
 Better minimum rates for retail trade employees were established in six States through special or ders. The guaranteed weekly wage was cited as an important provision written into these or- ders in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island and Utah. The first three States cover men as well as women and minors and provide for overtime rates. Rhode Island and Connecticut have basic $22 for a week of 36 to A hours, with overtime after A hours; Rhode Island requires double time for the seventh consecutive day of work. The New York minimum of $21 is for a week of over 30 to 40 hours, with time and a half for hours beyond 40. New Hamp- shire, with a 50-cent hourly rate,

The meeting, which was Spon-' sored by the Progressive Citizens of America, New London County Chapter, was opened by Dr. Her. bert Mack, chairman of the group. pr. Mack stressed the necessity for progressive groups to meet with their representatives in order to understand clearly the issues which face the government, and stated that PCA is interested in any ls- sue which concerns the welfare of the majority of people.
 Representative Gromko, the first speaker, affirmed his belief in the principle of just taxation, and ex- plained that the state is greatly in need of funds because of the great increase in legislative programs. MT. Gromko came out unequivocal- ly against the sales tax.
 Representative Ryan listed some of the state programs for which money is needed, including the veterans bonus and education, and expressed a preference for the sales tax as means of securing the funds. MT. Ryan also stated that he is in favor of the FEPC and an adjustment for landlords under a continuation of rent control.
 Representative Barrows ex- plained some principles of taxation, and Representative Gilman dis cussed the various taxation plans which are now before the finance committee of the legislature. An income tax, he said, is much more complicated and entails more pa per work than does sales tax.
 The latter would not bear too heavily on the lower classes, MT. Gilman felt, because the bill which the finance committee is studying includes exemptions for food, rent, children's clothing and profession al services.
 Many of the individuals present, however, expressed concern over the problem of the burden of a sales tax, and were not convinced that the exemptions would make the tax a just one, with individuals in the higher income brackets pay ing approximately more than those in the lower brackets. A show of hands demonstrated that an over- whelming majority of those present opposed the sales tax.
 MT. Gilman would not commit himself to follow the basic prin- ciple of ability to pay," but agreed that the finance committee should make a careful study of the income tax before recommending any bills to the legislature.
 After the discussion, a formal business meeting was held. Miss Rosamond Johnston was elected treasurer of the organization, and Mrs. Lester Agronovitch was elected representative to the state administrative committee of the PCA.

Stop The Cause

According to a survey by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters, based upon
claim records covering five-year period,
three out of four fires start from causes
involving carelessness, inattentiOn, or plain
accidents Most of these fires could be
prevented by good housekeeping and eau
tiOus habits.
Almost 80 per cent Of fires result from
careless use of matches and smoking ma
terials. More than 10 per cent are caused
by defective electric wiring and appli-
ances-msuse Of that great servant, cleo
tricity. Over % per cent stem from lack
of care in the use of cooking and heating
equipment. And more than II per cent
are the result Of carelessncss with ope2
lights and intlammabl2 liquids.
Here is a tragic tribute to American
careLessnoss, Indifference and plain Iazi-
ness which will cost us some S600O0000
in property values and more than 10000
lives this year. Failure to replace dollar

COMMENCEMENT lime

Commencement time is here. For the
152 boys and girls that are graduating
from Ashe High Schools it is the begin
ming of many things. Some Of them will
start careers Others will not begin to
earn their livings now but will commence
courses of study in colleges.
AS graduates are beginning to do other
things, commencement time is also the
time for us to begin to think more about
our schools. Are the graduates prepared
to start earning a living? Are they pre-
pared to enter college? Have our schools
given them all they need?
Are our schools adequately equipped
to give the students all they deserve and
need in the way of training? Some of our
schools are sadly lacking in classroom
space as we'll as equipment. Now at COM
mencement time let us commence not only
to think more about our schools, but to try
to do something more about them. We
must start if we ever expect to accomplish

Farming Notes
BLUE MOLD DEMONSTRA-
TIONS SUCCESSFUL LAST
YEAR IN ASHE COUNTY.
By OphuS Nj, Fulcher

Last year Roy GRAPHICAL, of
Creston, Glen Kilby, of Helton,
J. E. Oliver, of Fig, Howard Col
ward, Of Crumpler, and Raymond
Francis, of Smethport, conducted
demonstrations on the control of
blue mold through the use of
Fermate in cooperation with the
County Agents office. All five of
these men report excellent re-
suits and are planning to dust or
spray again this year. Mr.. Gray
beal says that, even though his
beds had already started willing
from the infection, he raised
plenty of plants of high quality
through the use of Fermate. This
year he is busting before the dis
ease appears.
In reality the treatment is
preventative measure and not
cure. Since it is reported that
farmers in adjoining counties are
losing plants from blue mold,
certainly we can all profit by
busting or spraying twice each
week from now until the tobacco
plants are ready to set in the
field.
Good beds that are we'll cared
for and protected against blue
mold have yielded 5000 plants or
more than 100 so. yds. and even
ordinary beds may yield $4,000
plants. If we fail to protect our
beds and blue mold does strike,
certainly we can expect to have
difficulty in finding plants from
other areas since they too have
blue mold.
Gas, spray, and dust treat
ments are all good. If you are
now using one of these methods. |
keep on with it. Be sure that
the plants are entirely covered |
with dust or spray.
Full information on the various
methods Of treatment is available !
at the County Agents Office.
