Community Choirmen
Named In Drive Against
Polio January $3.50

In announcing the completion of
the statewide organization for the
1948 March of Dimes scheduled for
January 1890, DR.. Felix J. Under
wood. State Director. revealed today
that Mrs. Pat M. Barrett of Lexing-
ton will direct the drive in Holmes
county.
The following have been named
to serve as community chairmen:
Mrs. ]. D. Gwin, Jr, Lexington; Mrs.
Pete Downer, Acona; Mrs. Vernon
Matthias, Cruger; Mrs. w. ]. Penn.

OF the 342 infantile paralysis pa
tients given medical care during the
Mississippi epidemic in 1946. several
are still in the hospital after more
than a year of treatment. Two pa
tients are still respirator cases. OF
the so cases which Mississippi has
had in 1947, forty-two are now hos
pitalized and some will require
many more months of treatment be-
fore being released to their homes.
There are more than so Mississip-
pi children with this dreaded dis
ease in hospitals today. Hundreds of
other polio victims must have clini-
cal check-ups, braces and other ex-
pensive appliances.
It should be interesting to our
citizens, stated DIR. Underwood, to
know that since 1946 twenty-five
Mississippi patients have been treat
ed at Warm Springs Foundation. At
present there are seven Mississippi
patients at Warm Springs.
These figures speak for them
selves and all of this adds up to a
glowing record of achievement for
our county chapters, continued DR..
Underwood. 1t also makes us realize
that we have an obligation not only
to those who may be stricken within
the next year but we must make sure
that those victims of the past years
can continue to receive the best in
medical care so that their recovery
may be as complete as possible.
Polio is one of the most expen-
sive diseases to treat and the need
for funds to continue this important
work merits full cooperation OF
every citizen, DR.. Underwood said.
We must not fail our children. and
we are depending upon the citizens
of Holmes county to give Mrs. Bar
rett their wholehearted support in
the coming March of Dimes.

Waller Hats indians
At Second Meet

Browning Highs football team
slowed down in h e first Waller
game Oct. % and came to a
grinding halt when t h ey met
Waller for the second time Oct.
27.
In the first game the Browning
boys looked like a ball team and
consistently outgained the Val
Ter team.
Waller scored first but Brown
ing marched the length of t h e
field to go ahead 7 to 6 for h e
most part Of the game. A pass
over the Browning defense p u t
Waller ahead IL to 7 which be-
came the final score. Three times
Browning came back to score but
three penalties called by the offic-
ials nullified the scores. The boys
showed well but couldn't over
come the breaks.
A three way tie ensued because
of Valier's victory. Browning re-
turned to play at Shelby. The
game was anticlimax and four
passes gave Waller a "a to 0 vic
tory.
! Outstanding defense work by
John Powell. Robert Powell, Will
bur Kuka, and the others were
bright spots of the game. Harold
Nation and John Powell ran well
from the halfback spots but were
hampered in the la S game for
lack of a passer.
The squad will be hurt by t h G
loss of Jack Woods and Jim Croft,
but next years prospects are the
best ever.

X Billion Dollar Road Block !

RAILROADS MUST OPERATE around the clock
every day and night of the year.
Although they know this, leaders of l6 rail-
road unions are demanding fve-day, Mon
day through Friday, week for one million
railroad employees.
They want 4s hours pay for 40 hours work
in itself 2O9o wage increase.
They also demand a minimum of ~ hours
pay for any work performed on Saturdays.
and 16 hours pay for any work performed on
SUNDAYS and holidays.
On top of all this they want an additional
increase of Csc an hour for every employee!
You'd Pay the Bill!
Summing up these demands, they mean that
these union leaders seek to force the railroads
to give one million employees an annual raise
which Would average $500 per employee!
The total cost of this would be no less than
~ billion dollars per year, which is more
than twice the expected net income of the
railroads this year.
You'd pay the bill, because if these in
creased costs arc forced on the railroads,

The railroad industry must serve not one but

unions are proceeding in utter disregard of
this important difference between railroads
and other industries. Industrial plants can be
shut down over weekends and holidays, but
freight, mail, express and passengers must
continue to move. Everybody Who enters rail-

Auree On Boost
Of Rail Pension

Chicago LPA)-Rail workers o
the nation were virtually assured {
20 per cent increase in their pen
sions under the Railroad Retire
ment Act, as a result of an agree
ment reached last week betweel
rail unions and arrangements.
In line with that agreement, con
gressional leaders promised to rusl
through an amendment to the acf
boosting the pensions by 20 PEI
cent.
As "quid pro quo," the carriers
are to get a reduction in their taxes
for railroad unemployment insur
ance. Their taxes had been 3 pei
cent of payrolls, but will now be
placed on a sliding scale of Il OF
l per cent to 3 per cent, depending
on the size Of the reserves in the
railroad unemployment insurance
fund.
The 20 per cent rise will bring
current maximum pensions under
the Railroad Retirement Act to
$144 a month as against $120 pre-
viously.

Atomic Workers
Vote To Strike;
Hit LilienthaI

Oak Ridge (LPA)-Attempts to
settle a contract dispute between
the Carbide & Carbon Chemical
Corp. and the AFL Atomic Trades
J. & Labor Council continued last
week even after a unanimous
strike vote by 875 employees of the
Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
| The union is demanding a 26c-
an-hour raise along with contract
conditions which have prevailed in
the plant up until now. The work
ers have already voted down a 10c
offer from the corporation.
The strike vote came at the end
of an 80-day anti-strike injunction
issued by Federal Judge under the
Taft Hartley act. Under the terms
of the act, the government has ask
ed that the injunction now be dis
solved.
The resolution approving strike
action included opposition to the
reappointment of David +. Lilien-
thals threat that he would order
Carbide to operate the plant in case
of Strike would make Lilienthal
and his Acc strikebreakers in
every sense of the word"
Kenneth L. Scott, coordinator for
the council, declared: "Lilienthal
gave up a very patriotic, flag -wav-
ing position on how through effects
of the atom bomb they expect to
establish world peace. We are won
dering how in hell he can expect to
establish international peace when
he can't settle a little dispute in
volving 875 workers in his own back
yard"
The dispute began March l when
Carbide took over the laboratory
from Monsanto Chemical Co. Lilien-
thaPs position has been that he
cannot interfere in the labor pol
icy of his contractors, who are
technically the most capable of
handling atomic energy production.
