Effects Seen In
Minimum WAGE

The minimum wage rates for SUI
gar beet workers which the U. S.
Department of Agriculture has an
nounced for work on tire 1913 crop
takes into account the part that
farm machinery is now playing in
the cultivation and harvest of sugar
beets.
Department officials say that stu
dies of labor requirements under
different methods of cultivation and
harvesting make it possible to eva
luate the contribution of mechani-
cation to sugar beet field work. In
line with these studies, there is now
a reduction in piece-work hoeing
rates on farms where cross-cultiva-
ton is carried out. Although lower
work that follows in the wake OF
machines which reduce hoeing and
thinning chores, workers are likely
to be able to more than make up
for the lower rate by covering a
larger number of acres.
The rates announced are to be
paid by growers-in all sugar beet
States except California-who APP
ply for payments under the Sugar
Act of 1913. The rates became eff
fective on March Is.
Minimum time rates are estab-
lished at 60 cents per hour for thin
ming, hoeing, or wedding, and IS
cents per hour for harvesting. Mini
mum piece-rates are established for
certain operations at varying rates
for each of the six wage districts
into which The sugar beet States
have been divided.

took what seemed to be a long
gamble and made try for a sing
ing career :. her first bid was for
a job at the famous Small's Para
disc in Harlem -. at the conclus-
ion of pretty bad addition, the
owner, Ed Small buoyed up her
spirits with the observation, "You
can't sing much but you aren't bad
to look at and with experience you
MIGHT improve, SO I'll give you
a job at twenty-five dollars a week
. thus began her professional
career.
Miss Churchill has been featured
In the top night club and vaudeville
houses from coast to coast for
two years she was the featured vo-
calist with Benny Carriers band
j. in l943 she won national re-
cognition as the most unique blues
Gnger of our time when she made
her now famous recording of Dad
dy, Daddy
Now once again she has risen to
new heights of popularity on the
spinning wax of a dynamite laden
disc 81. her recording of 81 Want
To Be Loved" quicly climbed to
top of the juke box hit parade
not only was it popularity leader
but recording critics rated it as
the greatest torch song ever re-
corded. To top it all, Loved won
all awards in 1947 including the
much coveted "Cashbox" and Bill
board awards.

Mrs. Edwards Leads In
Women's Division;
Miss Palmer Is Second

The report of the colored workers
for the Jackson Memorial Hospital
Campaign took a decided jump to-
ward a high bracket level in contri-
buttons at Thursday nights report
ing. The report of the workers when
completely compiled will show the
division above the $4,000 mark.
The reports were significant be-
cause of the increased number of
workers who came in with at least
uartial reports.
Leadership in the women divis-
ion was held doggedly by Mrs. c. F.
Edwards, who increased her overall
report to S1,87150. Running Mrs.
Edwards at a close second for lead
ership role was Miss Emma Palmer
with a total report of $1,265 Thus
substantially exceeding her quota.
Orchids to the two.
The enthusiasm ran high among
all workers promising progressive
improvement of the work with the
succeeding weeks.
Mr.. B. B. Dansby, with the Spe-
cial and Memorial gifts group, gave
a report for each team in his divi-
sion noting that certain teams need
ed new life injections. Mr.. H. T.
Sampson, of the Business and Pro-
fessional group, was noti ceably
pleased with the response in his di
vision. He was busy congratulating
Mr.. C. F. Edwards. who exceeded
his quota report for the fine re-
port which he submitted.
The meeting ended on a high note
of enthusiasm and the spirit and
morale of the workers was beapti-

Hitherto it could be maintained only
in a medium of the staphylococcus
cells on which it lived.
In the University of California
experiments DR.. Kruger obtained
from the bacteria a mysterious
chemical substance which alone
would cause the virus to live and
multiply, thus upsetting some Of the
most strongly held theories in bac-
teriology Efforts to produce similar
results have failed all over the world
in the last two decades.
This particular virus was first
discovered in 1918. 1t is widely dis

even from the human body. In

First definite proof that filter

enemy of all higher forms of life

a Navy research scientist here yes

The discovery, elimination Of
nearly 20 years of experimentation,
promises to be one of the milestones
OF biological science although it has
no immediate practical application.
The announcement was made by
DR.. Albert P. Kruger, director OF

The nature of the chemical sub
stance remains a mystery. DR..
Kruger was only able to say that it
is extremely sensitive to heat and
quickly disappears unless handled
by extremely delicate chemical
methods.
Whether other viruses, such as
those responsible for influenza and
