AL LEWIS ELEMENTARY

AS the first semester draws h
a close, the students and teach.
ers of the A. L. Lewis Element
airy School look back with a great
deal of satisfaction on the days
past and look forward with anti
cipation to the coming semester.
During the semester both stu
dents and teachers have enjoyed
the results of the experiences of
our teachers during the past sum-
mer. Our principal and almost
half of our teachers attended
summer school. Those who did
not attend used their time prof
itably in planning for the term
l950-51.
Our student body and faculty
have grown considerably during
the past few months. We now
have over four hundred students
and twelve teachers. We have
grown so much that it has be-
come necessary for our entire
Primary Department to operate
on double session.
During the first week in De-
cember the Primary Department
presented Miss Tommye DoSs and
Mr.. William Role in Musical
recital. The Department has been
congratulated many times on the
presentation of such a program in
our community.
Our students enjoyed the story
hours we had during Book Week
so much that since that time we
have had a weekly story hour for
the Primary grades and one for
the intermediate grades. These
story hours motivate our students
to do more independent reading.
Our field trips so far this year
have included visits to Rare Bird
Farm, White Belt Dairy, Parrot
Jungle, Serpentorium and Monk
ey Jungle. We have planned
many trips for the coming Sc
meSter.

ed Is miles out on the Dixie

Sonous gopher snake. They talk
ed with the man who is expert
menting with medicinal uses Of

their care and habits. They
found out that snakes fight only
when attacked; that snakes can
not be charmed but are fascinat-
ed by the movements of the flute
and flute player; and that three
drops of cobra venom are enough
to kill 1870 people. Some of the
best remembered snakes seen by

The Senate Labor Management
Subcommittee called today for a
report on causes of the disastrous
West Frankfort (Ill.) coal mine
explosion Friday which cost the
lives of 119 miners.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
Of Minnesota, who heads the sub
committee. said his group would
examine reports from the Interior
Department, Bureau Of Mines and
Labor Department to determine
whether the disaster signaled a
need for tighter safety laws.
Congress has never passed a
compulsory mine-s safety law. The
Federal Government provides an
inspection service, but recommen-
dations are not enforceable.
Secretary of Interior Chapman
himself visited the scene of the
blast on Sunday with John L.
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers union. Senator
Humphrey said their views would
be considered.
"The subcommittee staff is
on the alert already" Senator
Humphrey said. 1--WE may want
to call some public hearings to
look into the causes of this ter
rible disaster to determine whether
further steps are needed to
tighten safety laws"

WITH UNITED STATES Isl
MARINE DIVISION, Eastern
Front, Korea. Dec. 25.-Francis
Cardinal Spellman celebrated
Christmas mass for 5000 Marines
today. only 6 miles from the battle
front.
Battle-tested veterans knelt in
the falling snow to worship God
in brief respite from the 'front.'

Many Of the bearded Leather
lnecks had spent the entire morn
ing journeying down from their
mountain foxholes to attend mass
with Americas leading Catholic
Iprelate. More than 40 received
holy communion from Cardinal
Spellman.
The cardinal and his party OF
three arrived at the arranged en-
campment by helicopter shortly
after 1890 am. and was greeted
by Maj. Gen. Gerald c. Thomas,
division commander. The cardi-
nal-clad in a costume that was
partly the red garb Of his rank
and partly 9th Army winter issue
then was led to a battalion mess,
where the mass was held.
Outside the tent, Cardinal Spell
man met scores Of Marines and
soldiers Of every faith. One after
another the parka-clad rifle
carrying infantrymen approached
Cardinal Spellman, knelt to kiss
his ring and then spoke a few
words. Cardinal Spellman said
something to each man and prom
ised to write his family.
The mess tent set aside for mass
was much too small for the hun
dreds who wanted to attend. The
men soon overhowed outside and
into a nearby field.
In a brief sermon, Cardinal
Spellman compared the mass he
said today with mass as it is heard
in his own church. st. Patrick S
Cathedral in New York. He said
the widely different conditions
meant nothing; both were the
same in Gods ewes.

New Move Set in Richmond
To Lift Milk Price Control
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Dec. 25.-A new
attempt will be made to drive the
State Milk Commission out of
Richmond.
Attorney Israel Steingold said
yesterday he will file a court petit
ton this week calling for a pub
lie vote to free the city from milk
commission jurisdiction.
Should the voters decide against
the commission the General AS
sembly will be asked to amend
the city's charter to permit Rich
mond to withdraw from it's con-
troll.
The commission, which sets
minimum prices for milk, has
been under fire ever since it
moved into the Richmond area
earlier this year. The group took

Groupto Check Here Are ABCs of Steel Strike
Or Mining Laws And Steps President Can Take

Government has stepped in, may
decide to postpone the strike and
wait to see what recommended
tions the Wage Board will make.
Why did Mr.. Truman ask for a
postponement? For one thing, of
course, he wants to avoid a strike.
But the Wage Board won't con-
slider any case when an actual
strike Is in effect.
1t can't hear both sides fully
and reach a conclusion upon
which to base a recommendation
in the short time between now
and January /. So, If the Gov
ernment machinery is going to
work there can be no strike Jan
uary !.
The Government can make sew
eral kinds of recommendations:
It can suggest the union should
get raise which (A) would still
be under the present ceiling on
wages, or CD would require a
break in the ceilings, thus open
ing the gates to demands by other
unions for higher wages than the
present ceilings allow.
If it recommends a wage in
crease. 1t must decide whether (A)
the companies can actually grant
those increases out of present
profits without a price increase,
or (B) the companies be permitted
to raise prices.
Suppose the Steelworkers decide
tomorrow they won't postpone
their strike of January i. In that
case. the President can use the
Taft Hartley law under which the
Government gets a court injunc-
ton forbidding a strike for 80 days.
Even that, in the end, wouldn't t
Iprevent strike because the union
could keep working the 80 days
and then strike.
The purpose of that 80-day in
junction is to provide more time
in which company and a union
can settle their dispute-if they
can.
