Bus Strike
In
New York City

NEW YORK RENew York City
was hit by the biggest bus strike
in its history as the whistles and
bells uShered in the New Year.
Eight thousand-odd drivers and
maintenance men on LIS routes
were called out last midnight in a
wage-hour dispute.
Michael ]. Quill, president of the
CLIO Transport Workers Union, said
the walkout would idle all $500
buses of eight privately owned
companies.
These companies carry about ga
million, fares on a normal business
day, in Manhattan, the Bronx,
Queens and the lower part Of SUBJ
urban Westchester County.
The strike affected only a frac-
ton of New York's vast subway
Enthusiastically systems. most
of them owned and operated by
the city.
The Stoppage began on schedule
at 1901 am. (EST) as snow and
sleet storm swept the city and kept
many merrymakers indoors.
The city had ample warning of
the strike, but many New Years
Eve celebrants had a difficult time
getting home to areas serviced by
the tied-up lines.
Quill, who joined one Of the
picket lines thrown around COM
pany garages, declared "we'n stay
out until we win" Shortly after the
strike started, he said everything
is going according to schedule"
The companies did not try to run
any buses. Roughly 1000 of those
called out on strike are drivers.
City officials had tried--almost
up to the strike deadline-to per-
suade the union to submit the dis
pute to arbitration or mediation.
Contracts between the TWU and
eight companies expired at mid.
night.

be felt until the start OF the bust.

end, traffic normally would be rel.

Principal issue in the dispute is
the TWU's demand for a 4O-hour
work week on the private lines.
The men now work a to AS hours.
/ In addition to the hours cut
with no reduction in take-home pay
the union demands a pay in
crease of Is cents an hour. Current
pay ranges from $l.66 to $1.73ls

man could be rejected or taken
into the Army and treated. All men
with syphilis or TB are reported
to public health authorities.
After the blood test, we waited
about Is minutes in the center's
large assembly room. Lots of the
men were jittery and some a little
white after the needle. Two fell
lows tainted.
after the wait, we were led
single file across the alley to

physical would be given. We
stripped completely and moved

pressure examination; the skin,
head, neck, joints and limb check;
and so on through the entire body.
The whole examination lasted
around IS minutes.

WASHINGTON R - Taking a
physical examination as a draftee
Is like dancing in a conga line
slow motion. It's done in single
file and has a peculiar sort of
rhythm. X-ray to blood test to eye
chart.
The big difference is that at the
end of the exam a doctor asks you
how you feel and whether you've
got any complaints.
With 1877 draftees, recently was
examined at the Alexandria, Va,
induction center, across the Pto-
mac from Washington.
At roll call we were handed three
essentials of the examination-two
medical forms and a numbered tag
with string on it.
We hung the tag around our
neck. On one of the forms we
wrote our medical history. The

Happy New Year to all. May
you accept the Grace which God
so generously bestows upon every
one. Such an acceptance viii make
it unnecessary to wish you peace
and prosperity in the coming year.
It will be yours automatically.
Resolutions
Do you make out whole string
of resolutions to become effective
as of this date each year? 1t is a
grand old practice especially
when such vows remain unbroken.
Personally, / never could bring my
self to resolve this, that, etc.
Cowardice, perhaps. My faults and
sins were, (and are), so numerous
that I'm afraid to face them.
This year my one resolution is
to take a daily inventory and see
whereby | might better serve God
and my fellowman. Such a course
will naturally lead through rocky
path filled with thorns. Certain
public officials have already de-
monstrated their intention to crush
or drive me out of town because
of the truthfulnesS in this column.
They fail to realize that you can't
teach an old dog new tricks. I've
never knowingly written a lie and
I've never run from any man.
Take the XIV Police Dept. for in
stance. They seem to object to
This Rock of Ours" because once
in a while it has called the public's
attention to its unique method of
enforcing the law. Yet if this same
police department will read my
columns over the past two years,
it will discover that twice as much
space has been devoted to paraise
as to criticism. Anyone considered
man enough to wear gun should
certainly be man enough to accept
constructive criticism that is
meant to benefit our entire island.
Enough of such talk. II was
brought up merely to make read
ers feel more intimate with the
column. I've always tried to stress
the "Our" in This Rock of
Ours" On a little island like this,
such intimacy is necessary. We
must all work for the benefit of
the entire community and truth
fulness to each other win be the
only chain that can hold US to-
gether for such work.

Ohio Power Co.
ToP Purchase Coal
Lands In County
New Area Includes
10000 Acres For
Deep Mine Supply

The Ohio Power Co. today an
nounced plans to purchase about
10000 acres of land in Noble and
Morgan counties to add to it's
coal reserves for the future
operation of its Philo and Musk
lngum River electric generating
plants. The latter, near Beverly,
is expected to go into operation
late this year.
The new area which the Com
pany proposes to purchase, in
cludes parts of Sharon, Olive,
Jackson and Brookfield town
ships in Noble Co. and Center
twp in Morgan county. The area
is east of the coa1 field in which
mining operations now are COM
mencing near Unionville, from
which the Muskingum River
Plant will be supplied coal, and
south of the mining fields near
Cumberland, from which Philo
plant has been supplied for sew
eral years.
Under the Company's present
plans, which are based on the
estimated amount of coal remain
ing in existing holdings, and the
expected future demand for
electric power, it will be many
years before coal will be mined
from the new area
The options which have been
taken in the new coal field dur
ing the past year call for price
of 500 per acre. The property
owners reserve possession and
use of the land for ten years from
date of the deed, the oil and gas
with operating rights for period
of time, usually 20 years, and the
timber with the right to cut and
remove it during the first few
years after date of the deed.
Where coal previously has been
mined from farm, the cash
price is reduced but the reserva-
tons remain the same.
The Company pointed out that
its acquisition of the acreage IN
this new area should not cause
any serious disruption in the
community because the property
owners are reserving possession
of their land for a period of ten
wears and can continue to occupy
and farm the land as they have
in the past.

OPENING SESSION

In the opening round of the
tournament Monday night, Sar-
ahsville swept to 6643 win
over Batesville in a game that
was bitterly contested for three
quarters.
The second feature on the twin
bill was anyone's game right
down to the final buZzer as DeX-
ter City took an equally hard
fought game from Forest Grove

Sarahsville hoped into a 7-3
lead, Batesville caught up at 10
all, but the Red Devils pulled in
front 1910 at the quarter. Roy
Dudley hit for four fielders in
the second period to send Sarahs-
vile ahead 1922 at halftime.
Both teams missed numerous
free throws, yet scoring on both
sides was spread out to include
