Dogs Kill Large Buck
Deer Sunday Morning

Otto Kendrick, deputy Wildlife
manager in the national forest,
found large buck dead down
near the mouth of Cane Creek on
Pound River Sunday. A citizen of
that community reported that he
had driven pack of dogs off
some deer, and Kendrick went to
investigate. The dogs had been
frightened away after eating part
of a ham,
1t is the usual story of pack
of loose dogs. Such occurrences
are usually reported on Sundays.
People in the national forest area
draw their own conclusions as to
the happenings.

The highway people have on
several occasions within recent
months filled chug holes on Nc
Ciure Avenue with loose gravel.
Just as many times, the gravel
has been knocked out and scat
tered. The holes will stay there
as long as this process is contln-
ued. One job with base rock and
black top would last.
The same waste goes on 4long
The soft roads in the country.
Gravel dumped into holes is soon
Jared into the bitches. Again,
there could be more lasting re-
pair. Shale would stick. The
roads graded and based by WPA
are rapidly wearing out. Ii hard
surfacing is delayed, the cost
will become excessive. In the
meantime, travel over these roads
takes a costly toll on motor ve-
hicles.
We are pleased, OF course, to
hear OF the high yields of corn
in this county. But the emphasis
on corn could lead us backward.
We all know what hillside corn
farming has done to the topsou III
this country. Slowly enough, We
have been getting away from
that practice, and we should keep
on in the right direction. We
have enough gullies and worn
and bull weeds. More grass and
out fields taken by saw. briars
more trees are needed to save
the topsoil and watersheds.
The observance of ThankSgiv-
ing has grown great deal in this
section within the later years.
We can remember when that hol-
iday was nothing more than a
name that we saw in the news
papers and magazines, Now,
Thanksgiving has become holi-
day, even here in the hills. But
it isn't native to the South. We
all know of its New England Or
igin. But do you know that it was
once almost against the law, and
certainly against good form, to
observe this day in the South?
The old quirk of sectional pres
JUDGE labeled Thanksgiving as a
Yankee invention-and so to be
damned! Only within the present
century has the South accepted
the New England institution.

The same history, with twist,
pertains to Christmas. Nearly all
the New England settlements had
laws against the observance OF
Christmas. The Puritans thought
it was heather festival. They
not only passed laws against the
observance of Christmas, but en-
forced them. The Southern peo-
pie, with little trace of Puritan
ism, brought Christmas traditions
from the Old Country. But where
did that old Southern custom of
calling Christmas gife'' come
from? Could we have taken it
from the colored people?

Lutheran Council Told Choice Of D. {. Officer
Church Should Act asAs Guard Commander
BuIwark Against Fear Urged by Federation
By WilIiom J. WheotIey

The National Guard Bureau last
night was urged in a resolution
adopted by the Executive Board of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions to appoint commanding
general of the District Guard from
among the officers now actively
serving with the unit.
The Graphic Arts Association, an
organization of employers, at q
meeting Yesterday recommended in
a resolution that the commanding
general be selected from among local
Guard officers. 1t also asked that
the adjutant general be assigned
from the Regular Army. as has been
customary.
The resolution also pointed out
that many of the employees of
Graphic Arts Association are men,
bers of the District Guard, and that
it feared that their morale would be
seriously affected by the selection
of an outsider as their new COM
mander.
Letter Sent to Royal.
John H. Connaughton, president
OF the citizens federation, during
discussion of the resolution offered
last night by Baxter Smith, vice
president, SAID he had previously
sent letter to Secretary of De-
fepse Forrestal asking that a wash
ington guard officer be selected for
promotion to commanding general
of the unit.
/ The Federation resolution, which
was adopted unanimously by the 13
members present of a 15-member
board. pointed out the organization
always had believed that District
affairs should be handled by Dis
trlct residents.
The resolution added that the
Federation believed that no State
would tolerate an outsider as COM
mander of its National Guard and it
knew that the National Guard Bu-
reau would not dream of putting
over such a project.
Funds Hearing Tomorrow.
The estimates of funds needed for
operation and maintenance of the
Guard are scheduled for hearing
tomorrow before the House Appro-
prlations Subcommittee on District
Appropriations These are funds
for use of the Guard for the fiscal
year beginning next July /.
Officers of the Guard expressed
regret that the appointment had not
been made before this so that the
new commander might explain his
program for the local Guard.

War II to face discrimination at the
bureau"
Those who are familiar with the
procedure of money making, realize
that unless money sheets are placed
on the printing presses at exactly
the right angle, the sheets are
printed with defects and must be
destroyed, and other sheets must
take their place. These sheets on
which currency is printed are very
expensive, and every discarded
sheet means a waste Of taxpayers
money as we'll as a loss Of time.
Therefore it has been estimated
that much money will be spent for
material and labor unnecessarily,
due to spoilage.
For that reason some of the pick
eters carried signs which read.
"Save taxpayers money, keep ex-
perienced workers on the job" and
others requested MI. Truman to
"Blanket in experienced workers."
Some carried signs which asked
such questions as, "Mr. Truman,
amt seven years at Bureau proof
of efficiency"
There is said to be $4,000 unem-
ployed persons in the District Of
Columbia today, with the dismissal
of 800 more at the bureau will
greatly add to the unemployment
problem in Washington. Realizing
that these people must be fed, this
will necessarily mean the immedi-
ate establishment of the bread lines
in the nations capital.
For this reason some of the pick
ct signs read, eve want to be bread
winners, not bread liners"
The bringing into Washington of
hundreds of people from the states
will also add to the housing problem
with which Washington residents
are now faced.

desperate effort to salvage their
jobs at the Bureau of Printing and
Engraving the employees have car
ried their fight directly to the
White House.
Having exhausted every other re-
source in the governmental ma
chinery without success, the bureau
workers called upon the President,
by means of a three-day picket line
in front of the White House, to
"enforce the FEPC order and end
discrimination at the bureau"
Around 800 women now employed
at the bureau are expected to be
discharged beginning next week.
The discharge papers commonly
known in government circles as
"pink slips" are expected to be is
sued to SO women on July rs, and
so pink slips" will be issued every
two weeks thereafter until the 800
will have been discharged.
Of the 1900 employees at the bu-
reau, it is estimated that around 80
percent are Negroes. Many Of these
workers were brought in during the
war and have successfully dis
charged their duties ever since.
These women who were working as
war service employees were recent
" forced to take another civil serv-
ice examination as printers assist
ants. They were sent to the various
school buildings in the city where
the equipment for taking such ex-
aminations was far from adequate,
therefore, 800 of these women were
reported as having failed the ex-
animation.
It might also be remembered that
these Women who have been out of
school for a number of years might
not have been as alert on some
scholastic questions as young peo-
pie just out of college, but were
efficient on the jobs which they
have learned to perform we'll after
seven or eight years of experience.
These people will be discharged
from their jobs and replaced by in
experienced workers brought to
Washington from the various
states.
Officials at the bureau said that
out of $4,000 persons who took the
examination in the states, five out
of every six expressed their desire
to come to Washington to work.
For that reason the experienced
Negro workers will be replaced by
the non-experienced, assumingly
white workers from the states.
"Is dismissal our reward for 10y
atty" was the question asked by
one of the picketers on the placard
which she paraded before the White
House.
