AREA OF PRODUCTION PUZZLE

A BRAND egastc definition of "area of production
for the purposes of the federal minimum act has
lust the Wages and Hours Division of the Labor
Department in Washington Probably it will go to court as
did the previous definition and has good chance of being
knocked Even the experts have been unable to arrive at
definition that is acceptable to all parties
1t all about this when Congress passed the
law fixing the minimum poverty wage level for workers the
usual farm lobby waiting with amendment to exempt
the farmers The farmers to get themselves exempted
from nearly everything but the law of gravity. Under the
of the amendment farmers exempted from the
visions of the law by paying the minimum of 40 cents
hour in the area of production But, not the farm
lobbyists could define area of production Congress de-
cded the Wages and Hours Division should do it. The Dvi
tried but the court said the definition wouldn't do
it has tried again.
The whole thing is nonsense Why should farmers be
exempted from paying the minimum wage? Why should farm
workers kind be sentenced TO work than
y wages? It's about time for Congress- in honesty and fair
abolish the thousand and exemptions and let the
farming industry stand its feet. That's the meaning
of free enterprise

REGULATION NEVER STOPS

GOVERNMENT regulation of trade unions leads inevitably
to government regulation of business, industry and all
other economic activity This is something that advocates of
antiabor legislation apparently do not realize Leo Woman
economist points this out in Washington Post article Dis
cussng the power of big national labor unions, he says
The issue before today is whether to try to reduce
this to concede its emanence and subject its use to
stringent public regulation Those who want labor and
compulsory arbitration believe that the power of organized
labor longer be reduced Hence they want regulated
rendered, OCCASION impotent to do much damage.
"Such policy, assuming that it works, brings at
other unsuspected and unntended measures 1t leads newt
ably to the regulation of industry and farng de-
cisions. Thus in order to stop strikes risk falling into
comprehensive program of economic control
That anyhow is what the logic of the situation and the
experience of other countries suggest In the United States
still solve our labor problems by other methods"

GUARDING AGAINST
POLIO
BY j. J. CARTER, Nj. ID.
Columbus, Ohio

Mrs. Grant is a woman who
takes no chances with her chill
dren's health. Often she is little
apologetic when she telephones
me about some apparently slight
sign of illness shown by one of
the children. But I always assure
her that she is doing exactly what
I wish all mothers would do.
Not long ago she called to tell
me that seven-year-old Susan had
little fever and a headache. She
was worried about poliomyelitis
or infantile paralysis, as it is
commonly called, because a few
cases had been reported in the
neighboring county. I went to see
Susan at once and kept close
track of her for several days.
During late summer and fall,
polio is at it's height. It is no time
to take chances. 1 was happy to
be able to tell Mrs. Grant that
The future outlook., 1947-09-20

There is no known cure for in
fantile paralysis, but good medi-
cal care will prevent or correct
many deformities. 1t is import
ant to rely upon the doctors ad-
vice in every case. The National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-

ANSWER CHARGES
UNLTGHTED VEHICLE
CAUSE OF ACCIDENT

Charges that an automobile
involved in a smashup on the
night of last December 25, driv-
en- by w. T. Hudson with DR.. w.
w. Harvey, county coroner as a
passenger, was being operated at
excessive speed and without
lights in order to avoid pursu-
ing vehicle, were contained in the
answer to damage suit filed this
week in Guilford Superior Court.
The allegation was made in the
answer filed by Wiley T. McRae,
owner, and Luther Martin, opera
tor, of a "jeep" station wagon in
volved in the accident, to a dam
age complaint entered by Marion
G. Craig, said to have been a
passenger in the car operated by
Hudson.
The reply of McRae and Mar
tin to the Craig suit, which also
had named DR.. Harvey and Hud-
son as defendants, averred that
the collision occurred at the in
tersection of North Elm street
and Wendover Avenue when the
station wagon driven by Martin
entered the intersection from
Wendover. 80.
The answer, denying negli-
gence on the part of the two de-
PENDANTS, asserted that Martin
stopped at the intersection to al
low traffic on Elm street to clear,
but that when he proceeded
across, the car allegedly owned
by DR.. Harvey suddenly appear
ed, without lights, and collided
with the station wagon.
McRae and Martin asserted
further that they are informed
that "a few city blocks before
the accident" Hudson had driven
fast and recklessly to avoid
pursuing automobile and that the
plaintiff had protested the speed
of the driver. They deny that the
plaintiff, Marion Craig, was in
jured as a result of their negli-
gence, and contend that if she is
found entitled to damages the
other two defendants should be
held liable.

Susan was suffering from moth

Susan was suffering from moth
ing more serious than a cold.
Mrs. Grant had been thorough
ly frightened by the possibility of
polio, though she had kept her
head at the time. She wanted to
know everything I could tell her
about the disease and what she
could do to protect her children
from it.
I explained to Mrs. Grant that
polio is caused by virus-one of
the smallest disease producing
organisms. 1t attacks the nerves
that control the muscles of the
body. 1t may weaken them and it
may cause paralysis. Most often
it affects the nerves controlling
the muscles of the legs and arms.
sometimes those that control
breathing and swallowing. The
majority of people who catch the
disease have only a light case,
which often is not recognized and
does not weaken or paralyZe the
muscles. More than half of those
whose muscles are paralyzed re-
cover without serious after-ef-
fects. The disease is not often a.
killer and, in many cases, Grip
pling can be prevented by proper
treatment.
Many people think of polio as
disease of young children, but
older people may get it too, so
everyone should be careful if
there's an outbreak of the dis
ease.
If there are cases of infantile
paralysis near your commupity,
it is wise to keep out of crowds
as much as possible. Keep away
from any person who has come
from an epidemic area. Help
keep your community clean of
waste and exposed garbage. Keep
flies out of the house and espe-
cially away from all food. Don't
swim in water polluted by sew
age.
Since polio often seems to at
tack persons who are overtired,
I warned Mrs. Grant to see that
her children get plenty of rest,
to be sure that they are not under
any unusual strain. They should
always be washed before eating,
lest the hands carry germs to the
mouth.
Parents should watch carefully
for the first symptoms of polio.
If a child develops a headache,
unexplained fever, a cold or an
upset stomach, he may be COM
ing down with any of a number
of childhood diseases, or it may
be polio. Get in touch with the
doctor at once. Meanwhile, put
the child in room by himself.
Keep him warm, but comfortable.
Give him nothing but liquids.
Above all, keep him quiet, -. 81
