BaSSett townspeople adopted"
the youngsters for a week. The
experiment was sponsored by the
Women's Society of Christian
Service of the Methodist Church
iof Bassett.
Forty-six Bassett families took
in the new family members.
Some of the youngsters had the
thine of their lives on ranches and
farms. Others lived in town with
the families of merchants, bank
erS, and ministers. Wherever their
new ''homes" were, they found
a MON" and a Pop" and usual
| ly brothers and sisters.
When the chartered bus, COM
pleted its 225-mile trip from
York, the children gathered in
the Methodist church. There
Mrs. Perry Everett called off the
names of their for week par
ents.' These new parents stood
iexpectantly in the back of the
church, wondering which of the
happy youngsters was to be
theirs" for week.
When the big bus began its re-
turn journey a week later, there
were some misty-eyed ones
lamong the folks who saw the
Iorphans off.
IT'S been a happy week for
all of us" said Mrs. Everett, ORR
ginal sponsor of the plan. Our
only trouble was that we didn't
have enough children to go
around. We have Is more fami-
lies than children"
There are indications the idea
will spread. Inquiries are coming
from church circles all over the
nation, asking how the mass "ad
option" worked out.
Bassett itself plans tentative
ly to do it again next year and
meanwhile people here, on their
own, are inviting the homeless
Youngsters to return visits.

POWER WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY

Despite all kinds of minority pres
sures, the elected representatives of the
people passed the Taft-Hartley labor bill
over political veto in an effort to pro-
vide equal treatment under the law for
both unions and employers.
Il is a tradition of our American de-
mocracy that we accept the will of the
majority of the people, whether we, per-
sonally, like it or not. Some of our labor
leaders, however, still benumbed with
dictatorial power bestowed on them for
the past twelve years. are showing signs
of rebellion. :e.
First, John L. Lewis forced the coal
operators to include non-penalty clause
in his contract with them despite the fact
that the new labor law specifically defines
the responsibility of unions to carry out
their part of contract or face suit in the
courts, The operators submitted to this
imposition to avoid an industry-wide shut
down.

motive industry contract that does not in
|clude non-penalty clause and provision
Tor mediation machinery that would keep
disputes out of the hands of the National
Labor Relations Board. And they seem
to have won round number One.
Shortsightedness and complete lack
OF labor craftsmanship by many union
readers was. in large measure, respons-
ible for the enactment of the Taft-Hartley
bill.

The coupon printed above is the
final appearance of this convenient

rebate to the Children's Hospital.
The rebate amounts to 10 cents a
month due you over the last three
years when the light rate was in liti-
gation-$3.60 altogether. Your sign
ing the coupon will not waive the
reduction on your current or future
bills. Only the 1o-cent-a-month

More than $1,000, 900 is due Pepco
customers in the District and Mary

Supreme Court upholding a rate
change which the company had
contested. The money will be
credited to future light bills-$3.6o
