Brotherhood of Railroad Work
ers, today announced the endorse
ment by the Brotherhood of Sena-
tor Charles l. Taylor of Roxbury
for his egorts in successfully pass
ing the Close Clearance" bill
which will protect the railroad
workers in the work in the rail-
road yards.
This bill, which was bitterly
fought by the railroads, requires
minimum clearance of 10 feet
between tracks and in some cases
minimum of II feet clearance,
so that switchmen, yardmen and
other railroad workers will not be
swept to their deaths by passing
trains or engines.
Mr.. McIsaac, in praising Sena-
tor Taylor said, In the face of
tremendous opposition by all the
railroads, Senator Taylor not only
carried the Senate fight on this
life-saving measure, but also pro-
vided all railroad workers with a
pattern law that can bewell taken

County Welfare Department.
Churches representing all de-
nominations, both colored and
white, solicited our business
firms for donations Of all sizes
and amounts.
Magazine statesmen, peddlers,
and solicitors are a financial
drain on the businesses, inter-
rupt our workers, and antagonize
our customers. After extensive
deliberation and investigation,
we have come to the conclusion
that while many of these soIici-
tations are worthy of our whole
hearted support, there are many
which are not, and that the busi-
ness enterprises of Chapel Hill
and Carrboro are being asked to
give many thousands of dollars
annually to unworthy causes, or
in cases that should normally be
referred to the various charit-
able organizations.
I'm view Of the above facts,
we, the merchants of Chapel
Hill and Carrboro are strength
ening our screening process
through the Merchants Associa-
tion and in order to make our
agreement effective, have agreed
to request ali solicitors, regard
less of their aim, to first appear
before the secretary of the Mer-
chants Association, giving writ
ten copies of their request to be
presented before a secret solici-
tations committee, that their
case may be weighed and passed
on accordingly, and if approved,
a letter of approval to that eff
feet will be issued.
Again let US assure you that
it is not our intention to cause
anyone the slightest inconyeni-
ence, but in view of our position,
we trust that all solicitors will
understand our humble request
that you cooperate with us in
this matter"

Home Service helps service
men, veterans, and their fami-
lies, in time Of trouble. Through
underworld Red Cross connec-
tions, it can reach any service
man anywhere-or his family
and obtain necessary informa-
tion regarding them. It gives
assistance with claims for gov
ernment benefits compensation,
pensions, family allowances, in
surance, etc. 1t helps veterans to
obtain needed disqualification
and medical care. If necessary,
financial assistance can be pro-
vided for them and their fami-
lies.
Here is an example Of home
service:
The wife of a World War II
veteran came to the Red Cross
office in dire distress, owing to
the sudden forced absence from
the home Of her husband. This
family lived fifteen miles out in
the country from Chapel Hill.
The husband, who had enlisted
before bef6fe Pearl ffifaribUr, mad been
wounded overseas and was still
suffering from a back injury,
though he did as much work as
he could. Visiting their home,
the worker could not even drive
her car the last two miles; only
a truck could make it. She found
a primitive three-room cottage
with hardly any furniture-one
bed, one cot, an oil drum stove,
and a few homemade benches.
(Six months before, their home
had burned, and all their pos
sessions had been DESTROYED J
They had no water supply other
than a spring that was a mile
from the house. There were four
children, twin girls of a, boys of
3 and 2. The Red Cross pro-
vided financial assistance for
some weeks, saw that the chill
dren had a happy Christmas,
and, now that the father is
back, with a steady job, and
they have a better home, stands
by to give help when needed,
especially to see that one of the
little girls gets a much needed
tonsil operation.
The First Aid chairman, E.
A. Brecht, reports that during
the year five classes of the
standard course in First Aid
were held, for students in phar-
macy, physical education, the
national service fraternity Alpha
Phi Omega, and colored ushers'
(church) association. The in
structor's course was completed
by 39 students. Two classes in
junior First Aid were required
IN the 7th and 9Th grades of the
Carrboro public school, and in
the Chapel Hill school this
course will be given this spring
to those students in the 7th, 9Th
and 9th grades (about 4O) who
volunteer to take it after school
hours. The Red Cross chapter
provides textbooks and mate
rials for the junior classes.
