of hard-hitting Highline team,

The Vets drew first blood by

New County Officials

Jackson County will begin the new year
with more new faces in the official family
than at any time during the past quarter
century, and perhaps in its entire history.
The ne officials were the choice of the
voters in last summers primaries and no
doubt are competent men, capable of per-
forming the duties in the offices to which
they have been elected by their fellow citi-
zens.
This county has been blessed with many
outstanding public officials, and the new
corners will find it necessary to apply dill
gent effort in many cases in order TO ade-
quately fill the shoes Of those who now step
out of public life.
Although they are not officially rated as
the highest offices, perhaps the greatest loss
to the county is the services on the board of
supervisors of Hermes F. Gautier and X. w.
Burnham, both Of whom have served excep-
tionally well In that body for more than two
decades.
OF course, Mr.. Gautier will go on to serve
the county and the state in the House of
Representatives and Mr., Burnham will con-
tinue to serve as the county's elder states
man., but their services as active members
of the county's governing board will be SER
iously missed 81 e3ss,o Z.
We do not question the ability of Joe v.
Krebs, who takes Mr.. Gautier's, seat, nor that
of Edward A. Khayat, who replaces MIR.

Burnham, but these two men would be the
first to tell you that they face a stern test
and big task in seeking to measure up to the
standards of their predecessors.
During the years that these two men have
been leaders as members and officers of the
board, the county has made constant strides
forward to its present standing as one of the
states most prosperous and progressive poll
teal subdivisions.
A large measure of the credit goes to these
two men for their leadership during that
period, although no two or dozen men for
that matter could be given all the credit
where Sc many are involved.
But the county has made substantial pro-
gress industrially and in all fields of public
service. This was the first county to nave
its own hospital, the first to be paved from
border to border, the first to capitalize effec-
lively on the state Balance Agriculture
With Industry" program.
Now the county also has one of the states
best systems of hard-surfaced rural roads
and gives evidence in all respects of having
been managed with competent hands by
men with vision coupled with common sense
and the ability to bring their dreams and
those of the people they represented to
reality.
During this new year, such vision and such
common sense will be required in large
doses if the county is to retain its gains and
continue its progress.

Women Workers

The problem of women work
ers is beginning to crop up
more and more in bargaining
conferences between labor and
management. Some unions ap-
parently are worried about COM
petition that women add to the
manpower market for the pay
roll dollar.
An example of the union
view is contained in the con-
tract recently signed by Lever
Brothers company, soap manu-
facturers, and the CLIO Gas.
Coke and Chemical Workers
union.
This agreement bluntly and
specifically banned the employ
ment of married women EXCEPT
where they are self-Supporting
due to divorce, a legal Separa-
ton, physical disability or to
death of a husband, or if the
husband is in military service.
Obviously, this type of union
demand could not. and will not.
be pressed in industries which
have additionally employed
women such as textiles, apparel.
drugs and the like.
However. where the employ
ment of women was a war
born development. you can
expect increasing attention on
the part of the unions to clauses
dealing with female employees.

military aide, and officers of
the regular Army. Observers
see continuing indications of a
''feud."
Vaughan, a reservist, is said
to have been responsible for
the chief executives recent de-
cision to scrutinize the records
of regular officers who have
been retired with tax-free pen
sions for disability not incurred
in combat.
The troubles of Maj. Gen.
, Bennett Meyers-a regular
gave the White House aide a
springboard from which to
launch a probe of the disability
retirement setup.
Vaughan has made no secret
of his belief that a number of
retired officers are riding the
gravy train and he has vowed
he'll get something done"
about it. This has not endeared
him to the Pentagon brass.
The White House general en-
countered an Army roadblock
when he decided to take all the
members of the Sunday school
class he teaches to the Army
Navy football game as his
guests.
His request for a huge sheaf
of tickets was bounced back and
forth like a shuttlecock in a bad
hinton game, and he finally
was compelled to settle for
only a few of the precious
pasteboards.
Insiders in Washington mill
tary circles expect new develop
ments since Vaughan is not the
type to accept rebuffs without
retaliation.

He worked for a chain of sta
tons and il was obvious that he
referred to a company rather
than an individual station
which he owned. We doubt
that he received over thirty
five of forty dollars a week for
all his efforts.
But he had obviously found
something which he did we'll
and which he liked to do and
was content.
He had something which mill
lionaires envy and which all
of us seek, either consciously
Or unconsciously.
The above story is true, and
we think merits its recounting
but we had another purpose,
too. in telling you that story.
We aren't nearly as good a
writer as that man is a filling
station attendant, but we feel
the same about hacking away
on a typewriter as he does about
fixing tires.
Not news stories. but-so-eall-
ed creative writing of which
this column is more or less
an example.
Before we reached our teens,
We were writing stories which
we made up and sending them
off to magazines in a hope that
they would be published. None
were, then, and very few
thereafter but we are young
and feel that some day we may
be able to earn our living by
free lance" writing-writing
on our own and selling the
product to publications.
In an effort TO accomplish
that dream. we are leaving the
paper effective this week and
viii 60 to work on a magazine
IN the East.
There we hope to serve an
apprenticeship in magazine
writing that will serve us in
good stead in future years.

Midnight was near, and
Christmas, 1947, almost histo-
ny when we pulled into a ser
vice station in Hattiesburg with
a flat tire in the trunk and a
sad spare riding one Of the
back wheels.
II was the only service station
open in the Hub City and OBJ
viously a three-man station
with a single attendant.
Look, we said to the man,
1--WE have a long trip ahead of
US and we simply must have
this tire fixed or a new one or
something. That spare will new
er make it."
The man scratched his head
with greasy fingers and looked
at the tire.
Il don't see how I can help
you, Captain" he said, MY
helper came on duty too full of
the Christmas spirit and | had
to send him home. This is the
only station open and you can
see how busy | am
But" he added. "You have
to have a tire. Pull up over here
and I'll get to you just as fast as
I can"
While the man hoped from
the tire to the gas pumps, we
watched him for want Of some
thing better to do and to take
our mind off the fact that we
were freezing in the icy north
wind that whipped through the
station.
The man was middle aged,
but he moved like a kid his
first day on the job.
Two youngsters in their
teens roared up to the station
and honked their horn.
"a pack of cigarettes they
said grandly to the attendant
as he ran up.
Eyes, sir" the attendant said
cheerfully, Coming right up"
And there was no sarcasm in
his voice.
will there be anything else.
Captain" he asked. THANK
you. Come back and see us,
he called as the car pulled off
and he hoped to catch an
other,
The same routine went on for
fifteen minutes or so before
he got back to our tire.
And we wondered what sort
of a man this was who could
be so cheerful on a cold night
while dealing with a thought
less and often unreasonable
public.

Reports
reaching the State Department
from Hungary indicate that the
commanding of that country
is not proceeding as rapidly as
the Communists wish. Censor
ship has not been imposed as
completely and thoroughly as
in most of the other satellite
states.
This and other factors have
aroused speculation on why
the Communist regime has not
taken sterner steps.
However, the Communists are
making reforms" The latest
is aimed at curbing the lobby
lists of the old capitalistic re-
gime. Recently a decree was
issued which reported that
large delegations from the pro-
vinces had come to Budapest to
speed up settlement of issues
before the Parliament.
Che government, it is re-
ported, took energetic meas
ures' to stop this practice. A
decree was issued. 1t provided
that delegations from the pro-
vinces might approach the auth
critics only in exceptional
cases, and then in groups of no
more than three.
Officials suspect that this is
an indication of the instability
of the new Hungarian regime
which fears that too large
groups e%onverging on the capt.
tai might threaten an anti
Communist coup.
