Help Anti-Tuberculosis Drive

On behalf of the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis Society and in recog-
milton of the tireless efforts and
magnificent results attained by
that organization down through
the years, the State Board of
Health again urgently asks that
each of us in Delaware review our
contribution for 1949. The value
of each penny spent in the fight
against tuberculosis cannot be esti-
mated in terms of money, but in
the actual presence of those who
might have died but for your help.
Give for the good of Christmas!
Give for the good of your inten-
tions! Give for the good of pre-
serving hope and life!

DROP CHARGES

NLRB Throws Out Union
Charges Against Dover
Company
SHARING PROFITS
Photo by Rutter

The National Labor Relations
Board at Baltimore, Md, having
found no merit and no justification
in the complaint of the Irlterna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union against the International
Latex Corp, Monday announced
that it had instructed the Union
to withdraw its complaint. The
Union followed the instructions of
the National Labor Relations
Board and dropped its charges
against the Latex Company. 1t ap-
pears that the Union sought with
out success to start a campaign
that would attract Latex workers,
but soon found that none of the
people there were interested in a
union in view of the benefits the
workers at Playtex Park already
enjoy. Seemingly the Union had an
impossible task ahead of itself in
view of the following benefits that
each and every worker enjoys at
Park: 1. life insurance
protection completely paid for by
the company. 1t is noteworthy that
each employees free insurance was
recently doubled by the company;
2. free disqualification and surgical
care are provided, all costs of
which are borne by the company;
3. a profit-sharing program which
has been in effect since 1887 and
which grants production workers

FAMILY HERE
FROM UKRAINE
Choma and Family Are
First Displaced Persons
in This Vicinity
ON FARRELL FARM

Arriving in new country to
establish a home for his wife and
two children, meeting members of
his family whom he had never seen
before, and hearty welcome from
his neighbors is the experience of
Anton Choma, a forty-year-old ma
tive of the Ukraine. With his wife
Anna, % years old, son Weldemyr,
two and one half years, and daugh-
ter, Helena, fifteen months, he is
living on the farm of Mr.. and Mrs.
Malcolm farrell, near Kenton, the
first displaced family in this i'm
mediate area. The Choma family
arrived by train at Wilmington
from Boston, the port at which
they arrived by ship. After. months
spent in camps in France and Ger
many, the family came to America
through the efforts of the National
Council of the Protestant Episcop-
al Church, with the assurance of
home on the farm of the JarreIls.
They were met early in the morn
ing of December 1 by Mr.. FARRELL,
who was accompanied by the Rev.
Donald ]. Parsons, rector of st.
Peters Church. Speaking no Eng
lish was no deterrent to Anton
who showed his appreciation of
good fortune by his eagerness to
work. Work is nothing to me; call
me any hour of the day or night"
he said through an interpreter,
Mennonite neighbor. AS if this
were not enough, his cup of hap
piness brimmed over when brotT-
er who left Europe before Anton
was born, came with other rela-
tives to meet him two weeks after
his arrival. Tears of joy marked
the meeting, as Anton exclaimed:
"is good" The relatives, all from
Wilkes Barre, Pa, included the
brother Jacob Homa (the family
having dropped the first letter of
the name); a niece, Dorothy Homa;
and two sisters, Mrs. Andrew Dug
gan and neighbor, Louis SaIeski.
The people in the whole community
are helping the family to get
established, and the first Christ
mas in the new land for Anton
and his young, blonde, red-cheeked
wife and children bids fair to be
very merry one. The family is now
living in a cozy home, they have
plenty to eat and are warm, and
are not asking for charity. They
want only to earn their own way
by work. Their needs are not for
material things, and the quality of
self-respect shown by the family
has been evident to all who have
met them.
