City Employees To Assist in @saR-Up Campaign

Clean-Up Week begins in Pal mer next Monday. All home and property owners are asked to CO., operate in clearing yards, alleys, vacant lots and the areas adia- cent to their property by Acting Mayor Betty Mears.
 Clean-Up Week is the focal point in national campaign to prevent fire, accidents, and dis ease. The primary purpose is to urge everyone to clean up around his workplace and home and to remove hazards that endanger property, health, and well-being.
 On farms alone, mary lives are lost and about S133, 100000 worth of property is destroyed annually from fire and lightning. Improp- CT fusing ard faulty wiring still rank high as cause of fires. It was recently found that Al per cent of insured farmsteads in spected by a mutual insurance company were improperly fused This was the most common exist ing hazard.
 Fire Chief Joseph Gallart sug- 3ested this week that home own CTS clean closets, attics, and basements of wastepaper and other discarded odds and ends that might be fire hazards. Burn oily dustcloths and remove ac- cumulations of grease from cook ing stove-make sure that loose flying curtains and other fam mable materials cannot blow over stoves or similar heating sur faces.
 Don't give fires a place to start, the USDA Safety Council warns. See that fire-fighting equip ment, such as hand extinguish- CTS, hose, shovels, water contain CTS, and ladders, is in tiptop shape, conveniently located, and ready for use.
 City employees will assist in removing rubbish to the dump. Home owners are asked to stack their refuse in containers, ready for pick up. Dates will be an- next week.

all Americans" he said. 'To do the job we expect of them, they must have public support. Let us demonstrate that support by talk ing an active, sponsoring role in Armed Forces Day observances" , he added.
 Power for peace is our goal. As veterans who believe in a strong and adequate preparedness pro- gram, we can help achieve that goal by assuring our services per sonnel that the entire American community appreciates and valu- es their personal contribution to national security. As means of emphasizing this assurance, Commander Cornell suggested that on Armed Forces Day all Legionnaires display in their lapels miniatures of service rib bons they won while in the ser vice of their country.

The use of the Matanuska Val Hey Fairgrounds as a playground was given to the Palmer Area Recreation Council at the May II meeting of the Fair Association board of directors.
 4 letter of request was carried to the meeting by Betty Jo Rid dle, member of the P. A. R. c. program committee. The planned program would include supervis- ed playground activities for siX-week period, beginning around June A. The five-day program would be supervised from g am. to 4 pm. and from ' pm. to g pm, and would in- fclude recreation activities for three age groups, The Council also requested, ard was granted, the use of one building for stor- age, and shelter in case of rain.

On the other hand, the total of
new ship construction contracts
placed during 1853 was exactly four
vessels, Of a combined gross tom

passenger vessel, not one combina-

ordered, delivered, or under con-

the Navy officials are gravely con-

Is only right that there should be
concern over situation which, if
not corrected speedily, can only
spell doom for an industry which
is vital alike to the economy of the
nation and to its security, in time
of emergency.
AS a Senator from State whose
great Port area is menaced by this
decline in shipbuilding, am vastly
concerned. But it properly is a mat

they come from Coastal areas, on

The present precalious situation

cilities throughout the country.
The basic question facing the
shipbuilding industry at the mo-

construction under contract. Second
only to that point in interest is the
production achieved in 1953-and
this, let it be noted, was exception

Labor Bosses VS.. Voters

As the latest fight over the Adj
ministration's amendments to the
Taft Hartley Act got underway,
the character Of the propaganda
voiced by the CLIO dominated sena-
tors and the claims of the labor
bosses were not flattering to the
intelligence of the American peo-
pie. These assumed that the people
would not remember that the same
sort Of violent charges were made
seven years ago when the act was
first passed by Congress and then
by most convincing vote -
passed over the veto of the Demo-
cratic President, Mr.. Truman.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-05-13

Some labor unions have them
selves used the provisions of the
Taft-Hartley Act to further their
own interests, and there does not
exist any proven instance in which
the law has worked to the disad-
vantage of the unions. Yet here
we were going through the same
old fight again as though all the
undisputed facts could be removed
simply by ignoring them. Presi-
dent Eisenhower had indorsed the
Taft Hartley law in his campaign,
but said, as did the late Senator
Taft land Mr.. Stevenson, toe, UNI
til they put the heat on him(, that
it should be amended. Blu, the
Democratic leadership has now
managed to prevent Senate action
at this time. The bill has been
voted back into committee.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-05-13

Since then "A good many things
have happened which seem worth
recalling. One is that the enact
ment of the Taft-Hartley bill
marked the first time in fourteen
years that the labor bosses had
failed to have THEN. way in Con-
gress. Coddled by the Roosevelt
and Truman administrations and
protected by the one-sided Wagner
Act, they had been given every
thing they demanded. In addition,
they had come to dominate the
Democratic party-and still dc as
was shown by the way they made
the noble Mr.. Stevenson change his
mind during the last campaign,
joining with them in urging re-
peal of a law he had previously
approved.

and wealth. The "slave-labor" slo-
gan is now a joke. Not only have
wages generally advanced but the
freedom to strike certainly has not
been curtailed. On the contrary, in
the last few years many wholly un-
justified and damaging strikes
have occurred. A number of these
have been in defense plants and
some in direct violation Of contract.
Probably the most ineXcusable is
the one which closed the port of
the great city of New York.

Early in the fallas these are

Ronk and File Young

Relatively young as sport and
vacation activity in the United
States. skiing still draws Its vast
army from the relatively young
age group. Promoters of the
sport toss off the statement that
life can begin at 6 or so for the
skier. but the average appears
to be in the 20-to-30-year range.
That age average was sifted
out by a research project of
Michigan State College last win
ter. Although the data came only
from skiers populsting slopes in
the Wolverine state. the findings
can be applied loosely to ski
centers from Oregon to Vermont,
from Quebec's Laurentians to
California'S SierraS.
Although a strenuous pastime,
the sport has been found to win
recruits among women in almost
equal number to men. The sur
vey found relatively few house,
wives among the skiers; instead,
the fair devotees of the slippery
boards came from secretarial
and other Office jobs. and from
colleges. Among the men, the
majority were of the professional
