Anniversary

omorroW July S, marks
the ending # the first years
operation O the Tabor City
Tribune. ", the year rounds
out tomorr ", a year filled
with trials i'd tribulations and
some satisfaction and some
pride.
Despite t. fact that The
Tribune stalled in an era I'M
surpassed irs scarcity of mater
ials and higl cost of operation,
it feels that he SOS day period
has been ON of much success
and that NO better town any
where could have been found
IN which to ommeuce such an
enterprise.
The fine pirit of coopera-
lion and tlrtsfine support Civ
Ell the papeiin its infancy has
been grand. Your never-tiring
efforts to he, us along during
the hard day. when we were
striving to st the paper into
its own hons printing office
here will neer be forgotten.
Many towns would have critic
lied our late mailing dates and
chaotic organization but you
put up with JUS through the
proverbial tick and thin.
Those are things that linger on,
upmindful of time.
We believe that things are
running smother and more to
your satisfaci and ours now.
We have been able to set up
in Tabor City a printing shop,
for the first time in history,
and want any and all of you
to feel free al any time to come
in and look pver our facilities
to see wher e your little news
paper is born.
During the past year, we
have grown from a one-tyPe-
writer, one man paper to an
equipped, plant with six full.
time emf yees. We feel that
we are Pa. of the industry
one 81 YOU in every respect.
Who knows what will hap
pen during the next year! Bus
ness, seasons and people come
and 90, but it is our belief that
the peoples of Tabor City and
its good farming area are des-
tined. to have The Tribune in
their mail boxes for long
time to come. People here have
shown their interest in a purely
local. paper and have voiced
their approval of what The
Tribune has to offer by sub.
sccribinq freely. Seven out OF
ten of our 1179 paid subscrib-
ers have come in the front door
10 oct their names on the list.
in a community this size, that
is remarkable, that is proof TO
us, that you want The tribune
We will ever strive to I'M
prove and expand the growing
needs of the community. our
every effort will be put forth
to serve the peoples as a whole
as they want to be served.
We know that we have, up
on occasion, practiced a vigor-
,.s editorial policy. This has
met with some disagreement
but we believe largely was IN
the public's favor. We will con-
tinue to have a policy when
circumstances seem to warrant
it. =.
Our thanks and appreciation
90 out on this anniversary day
TO our every subscriber our
every advertiser and to all the
peoples Of the area who are
interested in the continued
growth and progressiveness OF

The sale of Dads Liquor Store on Alaska Way next to the Mec- ca bar, by Joe Loughran to Jal- mar and Elizabeth Springhill, was recorded this week at the Commissioners.
 Sale included a portion of Lot 20 of Block l2, the store build ing and liquor stock, the latter valued at over $SO00.

advertised them for sale. Result was
that Irwin disposed of all his straw

The A. Z. Lichenwalters on west
ern tour mailed us copy of a San
Francisco Chinese daily newspaper
=. being printed in Chinese charac-
ters it is quite a euriosity-and just
as unreadable. The paper is, of
course, made up backwards-the last
page is the first page-and the first
page is the last page. Seems to con-
tain lots of important news-at least
We presume that those queer big
splotches are headlines. Also much
advertising perhaps for chop suey
joints.
1t looked like sabotage the other
day at the BIuffton airport when a
routine inspection of planes disclosed
that cords binding the wooden struts
to one of the wings of that big blue
plane out there had been neatly snip
ped off-in fact some of the cords
were missing. A call to Lima brought
in the insurance representative who
looked at the evidence and agreed
sabotage. Fact is, it looked like a
clearcut case until a faint scratching
sound heard in a far-off corner of
the wing disclosed a mother field
mouse with five baby mice in a nest
made principally of the missing cords.
One wit wisecracked that they were
airborne mice.
Just for the record we'll add that
the insurance company paid for the
damage. The policy provides that the
insurance company is not responsible
when a plane left in field is dam
aged by horses, cows or other live
stock, but mice are not included.

gave way and Neuenschwander fell
some 35 feet to the ground.
Tritch a veteran at painting tall
buildings saved himself by clinging
to the scaffold dangling in mid-air
and climbing up the rope to safety on
the roof of the building.

More Money For Less Work

But what kind of rules are being
asked fors Twenty eight of them
would compel railroads to pay more
money for the same, or less work;
z would require additional and un-
necessary men to do the same work:
the rest would bring about CHANGES
In operating practices at increased

Cutting Onion

To obtain Juice and fine pulp for
soup or clear sauce, cut an onion In
half crosswise and CRATE over a
bowl. Or, II a very little Juice Is
wanted, CRATE over waxed paper and
save dishwashing. Cutting onion fine
with a sharp knife is easier than
grating and often serves similar
purpose.

For Instance,

The Union leaders demand additional
train and engine crews on Diesel-poW-
cred trains-one full crew for every
power unit in the locomotive. A freight
train hauled by a Aunt Diesel would
have to carry a engineers, firemen,
4 conductors, and at least brakemen,
or total of 20 men instead of 5.

"Made Work"-Sheer Waste

The Union leaders demand that full
length freight trains be cut to about
half their length, even though such
trains are most efficient for low-cost
service to you. This rule would call for
twice as many locomotives, would
double the number OF trains, and make
accidents more likely.
Additional equipment, yards, and
other facilities required to take care of
these short trains would cost hundreds
of millions. What the Union leaders
really want is to make more jobs.
The Union leaders demand that when
q crew in one class of service perform
Incidental service of another class, they
will be paid not less than days pay
for each class, even though all service
is performed as q part of the same day .
