Communists in Italy made weak showing in 24-hour general strike they directed The bulk of the na- tion's workers ignored the strike call. The strike was well observed n the industrial north where the Communists have a firm grip. Most ports were idle.
 But government and Conservative party spokesmen said the strike was a flop and demonstrated that the Communists have not the discip- linary hold over the mass of Italian workers which they ap- peared to have in the immediate postwar years.

"To qualify for the James serv-
ice, sitters must be experienced
in child care. Many have also at
tended Red Cross child-care
classes. Each sitter attends a staff
meeting once a month, to hear
from Mr.. and Mrs. James how the
newest problems are being dealt
with, and to present their own
views.
"Here are some of the Don't's
the James service tells it sitters:
81. Don't give child medicine,
unless parents provide written,
signed instructions.
"2. Don't spank child, even if
the parents urge it.
"3. Don't eat clients food or
candy, unless invited to do so.

Seattle Pair Solve Baby-Sitting
PrOblem-Build 100000 Business

Baby-sitting has become an
American institution by now, but
many young parents still find it
almost impossible to get a reli-
able person to sit with their chill
dren. One enterprising couple of
Seattle solved the problem by
establishing their own sitter serv-
ice and building up a 100000
business in two years. Writing in
Redbook Magazine for October,
Bob J. Burandt tells how the serv-
ice operates and gives some ad-
vice to baby-sitters:
"Only eighteen months ago, Mr..
James was a cost accountant for
a construction firm in Yakima,
Washington. He and his attractive
wife, Winifred, had a newly-ar-
rived baby boy - plus sitter
trouble. One evening, they got the
idea of opening a sitter service to
introduce the sitters to the par
ents.
"Winifred and Frank James de-
cided to try their idea in Seattle,
where they rented an office, and
advertised in the newspapers for
sitters. From more than TOO re-
plies, they selected the 200 appli-
cants they considered best quail
fled, and then were ready for
business. The rate for their sitters
was (and still is) sixty cents per
hour before midnight, seventy-five
cents after midnight.
Like many a good idea, the
sitter service did not catch on i'm
mediately, but by March, 1913,
their Offices fees were up to three
hundred and sixty dollars. Recent
ly their share has been around
81 900 per month, and is still ris-
ing.
"Mr. and Mrs. James now have
list of IT'S full-time expert sit
tiers, between thirty and fifty years
of age. Each has been thoroughly
checked on character, reliability
and knowledge of child care. Each
has had a free medical examina-
ton by the Seattle Health Depart
ment. No sitter is sent on a job
for less than four hours of work.
Most calls come from former pat
rons, and they usually have pref
erences.
"Sitters provide their own trans
portation to and from their jobs,

1. When do steers make the
greatest percentage OF their total
seasonal gaine
Steers on southwestern ranges
make nearly 5000 of their total
seasonal gain by the end OF August.
Stockmen should take advantage OF
this fact by topping their herd IN
late August and selling the latest
steers at that time when the price
is usually higher than later on.
2. How can I tell which hens are
laying9
Laying hens have a bright red
comb, moist vent, widespread pei
vic bone ard beak, and soft, pliable
abdomen. Birds with dry shrunken
combs, bare of feathers, and with
shrunken vent are not laying.
3. How many pigs must be
marketed from each litter to pay
for the production costs of the
litter7
Long-term records from the Re-
search Farm of the Ralston Purina
Company indicate that when far
rowing two filters per year the
returns from five pigs per litter are
required for payment of production
costs of the entire litter.

Health Agencies
Rush Bed Many
Miles Across Co.

Thirty-five miles across the
County, a hospital bed was rushed
from Poolesville to Glen Echo last
week by the combined efforts of
two health agencies supported by
the Community Chest.
For a cancer patient in its area,
the Potomac Valley Lay Health
Committee called the Montgomery
County Health Fund trying to To-
cate the special bed required. AS
part of it's '1oan closet" such a
bed is owned by the Poolesville Lay
Health Committee. Arrangements
were quickly made for the bed and
springs to be secured on top of
the Public Health Lay Councils
station wagon, as it started it's trip
down county with the usual load of
clinic patients.
The mattress would not go into
the crowded clinic car and so a
member of the Public Health Lay
Council left Rockville by jeep and
picked up the mattress from an
other storage spot in Poolesville,
taking it directly to the patients
home.
The Potomac Valley Lay Com
mittee reports that the patient, a
mother with four children, is now
far more comfortable. Other con-
tributions include Improvements to
the house and the loan of an espe-
cially needed refrigerator.
