Steps Necessary
For Wool Payment

Chairman Lloyd Roby, of the
Madison County Agricultural Sta
blization Committee reminds wool
growers that under the new wool
program producers are eligible for
payments on their shorn wool
marketed and their lambs and
yearlings sold for slaughter How
ever, the grower must apply for
the payment and the application
must be supported by acceptable
sales documents and certifications.
Roby suggest that producers ap-
plying for payments should file
their applications and supporting
documents with Madison County
ASC Office as soon after the sale
as possible in order to reduce the
risk of misplacing and difficulty in
trying to locate the documents at
a later date. The chairman indi-
Gates that there have been a num-
Der of cases where these essntial
documents have been lost or mis-
placd when this necessary proceed
ure was postponed.

Agitation Reports
At Westinghouse
Back-To-Work Group
May Move Monday

Worker dissatisfaction at the
five weeks of enforced lay-off at
Westinghouse may break the
deadlock between the CIO Inter-
national Union of Electrical work
ers and the company officials, say
reports received here. Latest me-
diation efforts in the strike re-
portedly broke down in Pitts
burgh Wednesday.
Wednesday, new sources re-
ported a rumored back to work"
movement to take effect on Mon
day November %. A group had
repeatedly asked the Franklin
Co. Sheriff to give them protec-
ton as they crossed the picket
line Union officials deny this re-
port, it is said, and maintain that
they are presenting a united front
to the company, with minor ex-
ceptions.
In Columbus Thursday, some
700 strikers were reported as eat
ing their Thanksgiving dinners
in the union hall, and the union
claimed they passed out food or
ders to actively participating
strikers.
Locally, the situation grew
worse for employees striking at
the plant. Many sought jobs in
local industry, but employers
were not hiring them because
they would return to the Colum-
bus plant as soon as the strike
there broke.
Rumors that the strike would
last until after the New Year
were prevalent in this area but
such rumors would be based on
a 'by guess and by golly' phi
losophy.

County Sells Two
Mouse Trailers

With the sale of two house trail
ers by bid last Monday, the Mad
ison County Commissioners have
gone out of that phase of the hous-
ing problem, at least. The two
trailers were sold to Eden Hardin
and Thomas Scovil, who submitted
bids of $87 and $103 respectively.
The bids were accepted at the No
vember 21 meeting of the commits
SionerS.
The trailers were a part of the
veterans housing program in the
area, and while there may be a
few isolated incidences of housing
shortage, their passing marks the
end of an era in the community
which few will bemoan
In other business, the commits
sioners authorized the payment of
current bills and then adjourned.

Accidents Claim
Over IS Lives

The Thanksgiving hold y
claimed more than 95 lives
across the nation, according to
news sources Friday, and for
some, the holiday was not over
However, no local people were re-
ported killed or injured as of
Friday morning, and police re-
ported only one accident in the
vicinity.
Vernon Richardson, 40, of 913
East Street, Springfield, was held
in the local Jail charged with
leaving the scene of an accident
which occurred on East First
Street here Thursday. Richard
sons auto struck a parked car
belonging to Richard Culpepper
of Columbus, who was visiting
friends. Culpepper's auto was con-
siderably damaged.
Richardson was picked up by
South Charleston police following
a radio alarm broadcast by the
London City police. He was
brought to London to face the
hit-skip charge, and on compile
ton of that detail, will be re-
turned to South Charleston police
where he must face charges of
driving while intoxicated, placed
against him by authorities of that
village.
In Mayor Speasmaker's court,
two out-of-town drivers met with
local justice to their sorrow. The
State Patrol brought in Eugene
Ray Collins, 27, of Columbus, on
a charge of driving while intoxi-
Gated. He was fined $3.50 and
costs and sentenced to five days
in the county Jail. The Madison
County Sheriff's office reported
that Frank Windle, of Mechanics
burg, also charged with drunken
driving, received the same SEN
tence from the mayor.

Local Blood Bank
Nearly Depleted

GIVE A LITTLE THAT
SOME PERSON MAY LIVE Ca
little longer)
Just about year ago, a prom
inent Madison County farmer was
so severely injured in a hunting
accident in bordering state that
many, many pints of blood were
necessary to save his life.
The need was communicated to
the area blood bank in Columbus
and blood was flown pronto to
the city where he was hospitalized
as much as was needed.
Just two days before Christmas
following that emergency, the
mobile unit came to London at
the busiest season of the year,
but in spite of that, the response
was one of the best in the history
of local visits. Mindful of what
it meant to have service that
would save a life at no cost, rel
atives and friends and yet others
who realized the value of such
help, volunteered by dozens to
donate at that time Had it not
been for the Red Cross Blood
Donor program, that particular
case would have cost several
hundreds of dollars for the serv-
ices of professional blood donors.
Since that time, support of the
Blood Donor program has been
falling far short, and there is a
minimum of blood in the area
bank for the local requirements.
1t is getting increasingly
more difficult to supply the
demand because of the lack
OF response to appeals for
donors when the mobile unit
pays its visits to the commu-
mites throughout the area.
All these are facts learned from
officials at area headquarters and
from Maurice E. Beathard, chair
man of the Blood Donor program
for Madison County Chapter Red
Cross.
The Mobile Unit will be at the
London Methodist Church Thurs
day, December 6 from 10 am. to
A pm. Miss Ruth E. Armstrong,
recruitment chairman, is asking
all who possibly can to leave
their names with her, phone 1457
M-3, Mrs. NJ. z. Blackmore, 96 or

phone 344 and help do Madison
county's bit toward keeping a
stock pile in the bank that can
supply the daily need and also
emergencies such as the county's
local one in 1854.
