Child Health Gore
AS Much A Right
AS Public
Education

BOSTON (LPA) - The first
measure of new legislation and
new ways of handling our ma
tional life must be: What will it
do to our children?"
That is the proposal made by
Dr. Martha M. Eliot, in her
presidential speech to the Amer
lean Public Health Assn. DR..
Eliot, one of the pioneers in set
ting up federal programs to aid
children, told the delegates:
I'VE like to believe that our
standard of living is high enough
to provide not only food, shelter,
clothing, education, recreation
for families, but also health and
medical care, but when we look
at the statistics, using children
as measure of social progress,
we find that this is not the case.
Children are concentrated in
low-income families; two-thirds
live in families with total family
incomes under $3500. They are
concentrated in o w in ON
states; about one-fourth of our
children are found in the south
eastern states that have but 1870
of the national income. Farm
families have nearly one-third
of our children, but only about
l1% of our income.
"These facts make it obvious
that many families with children
cannot afford to pay for medical
care or, when they do afford it,
they do so at the expense OF
other essential items. Even COM
paratively well-to-do families,
those with an income of $4,000,
would have difficulty meeting
the costs of prolonged or serious
illness. Yet today nearly 800
of our families have less than
$4,000 income.

Textile Industry Cut
Production To Keep Up
Prices, Unions Prove

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Sand-
Wiched between union witnesses,
who had facts and figures to
prove that the textile industry
is cutting production to keep
prices up, industry spokesmen
looked pretty silly last week
with their feeble protests that
they weren't doing any such
thing.
AT the Congressional hearings
on business profits, one of the
Senators confronted Dona d
Montgomery, witness for United
Auto Workers-CIO, with figures
presented earlier in the week by
textile merchants refutin g
charges made earlier by CIO
witness Stanley Ruttenberg.
Montgomery, who doesn't lin
it himself to automobiles, gave
the Senator the following reveal
ing figures: In the shoe industry,
the production index has gone
down from 142 in June 1916 to
116 in the first nine months of
this year, while the price index
went no from 40 IN 100 In cot-
ton goods, production went down
from l64 in November 1946 to
l40 in the first nine months of
this year, while prices went up
from IT'S to 212, Woolen goods
completed the picture with pro-
duction going from 1874 in Sep
tember 1916 to 1877 in the first
nine months of this year (its
even lower now and prices soar
ing from ia to 146.

I Asst week one of the foremen

it was too late, they found they
had quite a bit of scrap. When
any one has a grievance against
the company for time lost do to
their discipline, the usual an
swer is, Chats Co. Policy
What we wonder is why this
practice stops where supervision
begins. You should look around
bit closer Louie, then Mr.
Walker won't have to hand out
more sob stories like he did at
the 25th year club annual din
ner. While you are at it look
over the production control and
methods department, keeping in
mind how much of their produc-
ton, you sell to your customers.
The boys in Dept. So, are
thinking of buying their Fore
man, Mac (The Swell-head)
Schubert, a new hat. They feel
his old one is much too small for
him.
The collection for the men
who are off sick, was taken up
Thursday, Dec. 16. The total
collected was $4,000, which
was divided among eighteen per-
sons, receiving $1,000 to $4,000,
depending on how long they
were off, and their circum-
stances.
The fellows in the shipping

new trucks. They are looking
forward to the time when the

By Herm Bick

THIS being the last issue of the
a Journal before the holiday
season the stewards and commit
tee take this opportunity to wish
the entire Unit Body Very
Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year. Lets hope the coming
year holds as much in store for
us as the past one.
Why is it the people will talk
about the foremen, but when it
comes to donating for a Christ
mas present for them they give
their last dime. Let them take
up a collection for a worthy
cause then watch the smoke rise.
AS one remark was made, we
quote: You didn't give to the
foremens collection, so why
should | give to this person."
end of quote. What do you eX-
pect to get out of it a better job,
guess again. While on the subject
of donations, what happened in
Dept. Ia really takes the cake
This particular collection was
started by a certain person ask
ing for the donation then you
had to sign your name and the
amount. What kind of work is
that, an FB.I. job.
Hazel Daniels should know
how it feels to be treated like
a dog? Last week she became i'll
at work after telling the fore
man about it they refused to
take her off the job, till finally
she keeled over. What kind of
foremen do we have to work un-
der? 1t almost setms like being a
r. w.
Ed Carlton and Frank Bick,
both working in Dept. 10, are
spending a few weeks convalesc-
ing at st. Vincent hospital.
Speedy recovery is expected of
both you fellows and hope you
are back with us soon.
Why should Flatz and Con-
nors have a chip on their shoul-
ders for a certain steward. When
they step out of line they should
be brought back, other wise
they wouldn't pick on you boys.
The way some, maybe ali of the
foreman act you'd think they
were still in their childhood
days.
The shop committee wishes to
thank all the people who gave
to the Goodfellows paper fund.
What you gave will be worth
while spent.
Well, 1t took a long time and
hard talk to convince the COM
pany, that the need Of a regis
tered nurse which we now have
was best of all So now your
aches, pains, cuts and bruises
will be well taken care of. Lets
not make a habit OF IL.
II seems the love bug has bit
Elmer Sparka and Lila Bates,
by the looks of that rock she
is sporting, When are the bells
going TO r+ng?
Little Rose Sowinski OF Dept.
10 celebrated her birthday last
Sunday. Many happy returns of
the day.
Boy did you notice that upper
lip Of Jack Burtscher Jr.? He
tells us it was caused from the
crank of his cargo. OK Jack, we
believe you.
Those rumors about Katie of
Dept, 10 are entirely false. Why
not ask her first then start your
grape vine. We think that is
about the meanest thing a per .
son can start So from now on
keep things 10 yourself till the
truth is known
THE ghost walks That's the
title of somebody at the shop.
Over the week end an extra
chair was added to the union of
Ice, with nobody working it.

This is the story Of a couple
of pies that failed because of a

TO put the crusts into the oven

items. She had gone but a short
way when, fearful, that the
crusts might burn she returned
to the house and In attempting
20 unlock the door the key
broke. A passing mailman broke
a window pane and let her in.
The crusts were burned to a
crisp and by this time IL was too
late TO make others and so the
poor girl had none. But IL cost
