For long time, I have quar-
relied with the proposition that
the hornyhanded American
working stiff is a very decent
fellow and in the long run, a
reliable guardian of the sacred
heritage He doese make an eff
ficient killer in war but he lacks
good sense and conscience, is
easily fooled and deceives HIM
self in his empty boast that no
Hitler could make a Nazl of
him.
l cite a case in point.
An election is about to come
off in New York in one of the
few relatively decent unions in
the entire United States in which
two vicious criminals who be-
trayed the union once before
and went to prison are running
for their time they have had the
gall to put themselves up for
election since tey got out of
Sing Sing and the fact is, what
ever you make Of it that they
are likely to win by the popular
vote.
This concern is the Newspaper
and Mail Delivers Union of New
York an independent union "a
bout 48 years old which seeded
from the A. F. of L. long ago.
Only by watchful management
within small group has it sur
vived the dangers of internal cor
ruption and external conquest, 1t
has a fathe-and-son clause deri-
we'd from the old guilds of Europe
and copied Immediately from
guild of diamond cutters who
brought their customs from Hol-
land. Only sons of members are
eligible and if a member dies
leaving no son who desires to
pick up his card the opportunity
descends by seniority to the first
desirous son of a living member.
There are about 1000 members
paying S. a month and there
seems to have been no 1ooting
or extravangance in that depart
ment.
However, William Buddy
Walsh is an alias and Harry Wal
tier, two crooks who formerly
served as business agents, Of
whom the constitution provides
for two, were convicted in March
1943 of extorting $1,000 from the
owner a non-union shop to let
him alone. Their duty, for which
they got $100 a week and $50 {
week expenses, was to organize
the unorganized. Therefore this
was plain case of treason te
their union, unforgivable even il
penitent traitors. These rogue:
are not repentant however. Or
the contrary, when they got ou
of prison they went touring the
old shops and, to the damage O
the old superstition that the A.
merican worker is shrewd fell
low with honest instincts, thu
rank and file hailed them as
though they had been off at tn,
war. Last year they ran for theil
old jobs and Walter got 1855 vote
and Walsh $50 against 1856 ane
1854 for the winning candidates
Thus encouraged they naturally
tried again this year.

LULL: The Nourse advisoty
group still look upon the October
November decline in the cost of
living index as only temporary
lull in the initiation spiral. A
drop in foodstuff prices was re-
sponsible for the downtown, and
the fall was less than one per
cent
1t did not prevent the A. F. of
L. and the CIO. as we'll as many
small, independent unions, from
demanding another increase
when their contracts expire dur
ing the winte and sping months.
Parity payments to the farmers
alone will prevent the table bud
get from an appreciable tumble.
Farm income is only a few
per cent below the peak of
year ago, due to increased pro-
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-12-06

BUDGET: A future skyocket-
ing of living costs even above
present ilevels will not be built
on such a thin foundation.
1t will be based on an almost
fifty billion budget, the fulfill
ment of Truman campaign pro-
misses to farmer, labor and social
welfare groups, and, finally, on
another round Of pay boosts to
approximately $4,000, 900 organiz-
ed and unorganized workers.
Mr. Nourse and the White
House, however, would appear
to be reneging on these pledges
if they were advanced as the real
factors for another inflationary
bulge. Therefore, his off-the-re-
cod advice to the Pentagon
audience was publicized in order
to prepare the public mind for
possible return to a 194ll945 &C.

A brisk Christmas trade in dur

ures even higher.
DEFENSE: Private and pub.
lie pressures will accelerate and
aggravate these factors, as Mr.
Nourse plainly fears when he
expresses his concern over pro-
posed three billion boost in re-
armament outlay.

Uncle Sam will pour out at
least twenty billions for heavy
goods and light commodities in
the next year for national defense
the Marshall Plan, aid to other
countries. Private industry will
spend additional billions, with
eighteen going into construction
alone.
PLEDGE; More than six mil
lion people are working for
higher wages and longer, over
time hous than ever before. With
expected inceases for fifteen mil
lion unionized employees, and a
boost from forty to seventy-five
cents an hour for about seven
million unorganized, their extra
purchasing power alone will
mean higher prices and sacrci-
ties unless ceilings are applied
by the government.
To fulfill campaign pledges for
low-cost housing, schools health
insurance, hospitals, public work
new power systems and eXpan-
sion of Social Security will add
another two or three billion dol
lars to the total bill for future
years, with the principal impact
scheduled for 1919 and 1850.
Serious study of these figures
explains why Mr., Nourse is so
deeply concerned over immediate
prospects, although for politico-
economic reasons he preferred to
make the military his initiation
airy whipping boy.
REPAIRS: The Truman fami-
ly may have to forego a return
to the White House for more
than the year that was originally
estimated as necessary for re-
pairs of the presidents palace y
1t will be the greatest renovation
lob since 1902, when Theodore
Roosevelt rebuilt the East Ter

Room sage about six inches be
cause of rotting timbers support
ing the second floor. At a re-
cent reception Mr., Truman motto
ed that the beautiful chandelier
in the Blue Room was vibrating
over his head, and shaky cell
ing has been discovered there.
There will be no change in
outer appearance of the White
House. according TO Architect
Lorenzo Winslovy. It will simply
be made safer and moe liv-

DAILY BIBLE QUOTATION

Of His might" Ephesians .: ~

Groean of God Roanoke Rapids
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-12-06
By Ray Tucker

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-Edwin
G. Nourse's warning against the
inflationary dangers of excessive
national defense spending was
carefully prepared and timed ad-
vance notice that the Truman Ad
ministration fears it may be nee
essary to reimpose almost war
time controls over prices and
wages and rationing of raw ma
terials and retail goods.
1t was the head of the Presi-
dents Council Of Economic Ad-
visers who framed the extensive
anti-inflation program which Mr.
Truman submitted unsuccessfully
to the regular and special
sessions of the Eightieth Con-
gress. At that time the threat
of a price-wage explosion and
shortage of commodities was not
as serious as it is now, in view
of foreign and domestic demands
on government finances and pro-
duction.
But the Nourse lecture to Ar
my-Navy Air experts was DELI
berately naive. No economist
believes that catastrophe infla-
ton will stem from a mere In
crease of three billion dollars
a year in military expenditures,
the minimum sum the fighting
forces want above the Sl4, ,40O,-
900. 900 so far allowed them by
President Truman and Budget Dl-
rector Webb.

STORING EGGS
BY HARRIETTE H

O. Some of my egg customers are
asking me TO prepare some eggs for
storage. I can't afford 10 buy jars and
put them down in wafer glass. is there
some method where / can store the
EGGS in regular cartons? IF SO. what
is il and how DO I prepare the eggs?
Mrs. A. T. S.. Yellowstone county.
A. You can prepare eggs by the
grease method and store them in
cartons. The method consists of COW
ering every part of shell with a reg
ular egg grease and placing them in
the cartons. These eggs must be
freshly gathered and cooled at once
to SO degrees. Even though we did
quote the Cornell method of wash
ing in a previous question, 1 would
strongly advocate the use of clean
unwashed eggs for preservation.
After greasing, the eggs can be
kept in a reasonably cool room
which is dry and free from molds
and vegetable odors. Eggs so pre-
pared will keep well for a year.
Just this week 7 used some which
I put down in March last year.
What's more I boiled them and they
Were perfectly all right.
If you can not purchase the grease
locally, you can make some very
easily. Melt together, in a double
boiler, one disk of white beeswax,
weighing about 2 ounces, and 4
unces of white vaseline. After melt
ing, the resulting liquid must be
stirred constantly while solidifying
and be set in a dish of cold OF ice
water. Otherwise the beeswax and
vaseline will separate. This amount
will put down several cases of eggs
and will cost about so cents.
Tell your egg customers that they
should set the ease or carton at an
angle, then every week or two re
verse the position of the container.
This procedure will eliminate stuck
yolks and thus lessen any chance of
mold development.

SUN r

O. I am mot going 10 be able to move
my brooder house this rear. I arm told
that one can make something called
a sun porch. What is this like and how
Ia IL made? MY brooder house is II
feet by IL feef.-M. r. B.. Fergus
county.
A. The sun porch is merely q Stat
or wire platform, with wire or Stat
sides and a wire top. The legs for
the sun porch are Of sufficient
height so that the chicks can come
out their small door directly onto
the porch. The college is using snow
fencing for some Of its sun porch
floors. For chicks the sides of the
porch need be only about z feet
high. For turkeys a 4-foot height is
better. If using Stats, put them about
an inch apart, so that the birds may
stick their heads through to eat and
drink from feeders and waterers
fastened to the outside of the sides,
but not wide enough apart to permit
the chicks TO crawl through. The top
may be made of regular chicken
wire.
The porch should be at least as
large as the floor space of the
brooder house. In your ease it
should be at least II feet by IL feet.
If you are going to have a wire
floor, it is advisable to get inch
mesh welded wire, as ordinary wire
will oon sag and have to be re-
placed.
When using a sun porch, the birds
can be gotten out of doors much
earlier than when running on the
ground, because the floor is always
dry and there is no danger of con-
tamination.
