Beluted Bulderdush

Way back in January 1913 newspapers printed hot
story originating in the Akron Ohio Beacon Journal
and circulated by the largest Oldest and most reliable
agency in the world to the effect that union
members of the National Maritime Unon had refused to
unload boats carrying food and materials at Guadacana
because it Sunday nowor day. against union regula
tionS.
This story condemning union labor not only much
desired story to damn union workmen when everyone
working overtime in this country to supply armed
services abroad but coumniss and radio commentators
picked up and added their 2cents worth to the campaign
Now comes the Associated Press 612 years later and
that investigation has produced evidence
arbutng such conduct such incident to National
Maritime Union crew."
Now aint that nice of them? After circulating such
slander against not only National Maritime Union members
but designed to condemn all union woren the AP and its
associated newspapers of desire to be perfectly
fair about the matter after waiting 62 years. when every
has forgotten about the whole thing, out with
reracton of what decent people could only call dirty
smear.
No editor, coumnist, or commentator in 1913 would
ask for listen to information that do not unload
vessels In all ports this work done by ongshoremen and
Guadacana and other bases done by Seebees
The lesson of the whole incident of course reera-
on of what everyone has known and that paraphase

papers, That particular story certainly belonged in the
comic pages Perhaps the retraction also should appear

Raising broiler chickens is one Of
Maryland's leading businesses. On
the peninsula itself it ranks tops,

Yet it has remained to a large

Famed Indian Landmark Gets
New Niche al River Falls

HOLCOMBE, WIS. - The Hol-
combe Indian, an eight-foot tall
wooden figure that has been a ia
miliar sight to river men since
1876, will continue his vigil from a
special niche in the h~ydroelectric
dam being constructed here.
The figure was carved by a for
mer sailor. Luke Lyons, from a
carefully selected white pine log
cut by Jene Juvette near here 70
years ago. It was originally placed
on the old Holcombe dam and was
known to generations of lumber
jacks who drove logs down the
Chippewa river.
A flood about 1880 swept the Hol-
combe Indian down to Jim Falls be-
fore it was recovered and replaced.
When the dam was abandoned the
figure was removed to the Hol-
combe town hall and later to an
enclosure on the river bank.
In 1850 the weathered and historic
figure will be placed in a glass n
closed niche in the new hydro
electric plant.
