'Breod-ond Roses

The changing history Of an economic
era may be read in Cornwall, Pennsyl-
vania, snack bar sign. eve want bread
and roses, too," the sign says. It is, Of
course, not an ordinary snack bar-which
is the reason the message on its sign has
a special implication. It is, in explana-
ton, the snack bar on a 520-acre vacation
estate owned by the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers, CLIO affiliate, and OPP
Grated for the holiday pleasures Of $4,000
union members located within 100-mile
radius. But for nearly 70 years, the
estate-including mansion, farm, guest
houses and all the other fixtures denoting
wealth and comfort-had been the pri-
vate home of John Coleman Alden, whose
family from colonial times has been
large owner of the coal and iron resources
of that Pennsylvania area. Mr. Alden'S
death, the impact of taxes upon large
fortunes and the cost of maintaining big
estates threw the property on the auction
block in 1949. The union was the pur-
chaser at price of only $4,000, and the
"bread-and roses" slogan was coined.
Dedication ceremonies during the
past week end revealed that the twin
objectives had been gained. A f1ve-year
pooling of enthusiastically, Is cents
weekly from each union member-haS
built up fund of more than ST million.
An artificial lake, theater, dining hall,
sports fields, barbecue pits and all other
holiday accessories are there. Union
members and their families may vacation
for a week at no cost. Bread and roses
may still be costly fare for the few, but
seemingly not for the many.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

II a bee, hornet, or wasp
stings you. don't start trying
everything In the medicine
cabinet.
That is a sure way to get
what some doctors call med
icamentosa," which is a fancy
way of saying an itch from
medicine.
Too many applications. and
too many things tried, will re-
suit in an ugly red splotch,
with no abatement Of the
original sting effect.
First, food the place with
ammonia, or q solution Of
baking soda. and then try an
ice cube.
These simple remedies will
help, though just how much
itching remains depends upon
the individual human, not the
wasp.
The wasp has already done
his dirty work.
He is q communist, remem-
ber, and puts the hive. or
group, far above himself.
AS a matter Of fact, he
doesn't think about 1t at all.
His brain, such as it Is, has
been washed centuries ago.
He just stings, and there
you are.
That sharp sensation is ut
terly unlike that Of a mosquito.
or stinging fly. for instance.
You know. this time. that
you have been Stung.
Wasps and others tend to
sting several times.
They will fly up a trouser
leg, and then resent you try
ing to get them out.
So there is not much use
attempting to prevent them
from singing. 1t is auto
matte, with them, they know
no better.
They cannot be blamed, in
O sense.
After the place Is flooded
with ammonia water, try
bathing the afilicted part in
running cold water. II pos
sible.
Then comes the ice cube.
What this does is freeze the
part, so the itching is miti-
gated.
Maybe it will work. maybe
1t won't. It is when 1t will
not, that the temptation
arises to try everything in the
house, and maybe in the drug
store.
Bewarel
Suffer the itch, rather than
the medicamentosa.
X Il Il II
The protein poison intro
duced by the stinger may
cause a sort of shock.
This is not understood by
many households, where a
bee sting is regarded as just
something in everyday life
not worth bothering about.
There are some persons,
fortunately few, who cannot
survive more than 10 minutes
after a bee sting, unless GER
tain injections are given them.
These are extreme cases,
Most people suffer only mod
erately, but there are a sur
prisingly large number who
suffer q great deal from In
sect stings. especially from q

Cancer Drive Success

In behalf Of the District Of
Columbia Division Of the
American Cancer Society,
please accept my sincere
thanks for the support and as
sistance your newspaper gave
to the 1855 Cancer Crusade.
Your cooperation in telling
the story Of the cancer-control
program in this community
contributed immeasurably to
the success Of the campaign,
and We are deeply grateful.
More funds were contrib
uted during the 1866 crusade
than in any previous year since
the organization Of the local
society. A total Of $289, ,930.85
has been made available, thus
assuring the people Of Wash
ington that the research. edu-
cation and service programs Of
the local society will be carried
forward in the fight against
cancer in the coming year. This
promise was made possible by
the citizens of the Nations
Capital who shared in the
crusade with their time and
their money. The successful
results depended. in large
measure, on the thousands Of
volunteers who so willingly
gave their time to bring the
story of the cancer-control
program to their neighbors.
co-workers and friends. To
these volunteers. and to their
neighbors and co-workers, my
personal thanks in behalf Of
those who will benefit from
the unselfish gifts Of unknown
friends. This community has
again demonstrated its will to
save lives and to ultimately
conquer this disease.
The American Cancer So
ciety is the only voluntary ma
tional agency engaged in a
comprehensive plan Of cancer
control. In the last 10 years,
the American Cancer Society
has contributed more than $34
million to cancer research.
More than $75.000 is made
available annually to local in
stitutions to advance the skills
and methods Of cancer dag
nosis and treatment. The year.
round education programs
provide factual information on
cancer to thousands of per-
sons. Dressings, sick-room
equipment. counseling and
other services to the cancer
patient are provided continue
ouSly.
My personal experience in
the 1855 crusade was enriched
by the enthusiasm and CO.
operation Of the campaign
committee. the thousands Of
volunteers who shared in the
crusade. and the citizens Of
Washington whose generosity
made the crusade such a sue
cess. For this experience, am
grateful to the society and to
the community 1t serves in the
fight against cancer.

General Chairman, 1855

When the Republicans and
Democrats decided earlier this
year to nominate their presi-
Dental candidates after the
middle of August next year,
there was o sigh Of relief-the
national political campaign
would be shortened.
Usually the candidates have
been nominated in June or not
later than the first week ip
July. Nevertheless. political
activity on a large scale. IN
both parties, is building up
now, IA months in advance OF
the election. Former President
Truman has already been out
campaigning for a Democratic
victory in 1856. Adlai Steven
son, the titular head Of the
Democratic Party, is set Tor q
number of political speeches
this fall--and may announce
his own candidacy at the time
Of the Democratic gathering
in Chicago-November II to
1s-when the national COM
mittee is to hold q meeting.
Democratic State chairmen
from all the States are also
to meet, and q big fund-rais-
ing dinner win be held in the
International Amphitheater
where the party's national
convention viii be staged next
August.
The Republicans are having
q two-day school Of cam
paigning," In Washington,
D. c., for all Republican State
chairmen. When school is out,
the Republican chairmen and
other party leaders viii be
flown in a chartered plane to
Denver to breakfast with
President Eisenhower at the
Brown Palace Hotel.

Political preparedness. evi-
IDENTIFY, is the order Of the day.
At Republican national head
quarters it is reported that the
G. o. p. is far ahead in its
actual work of organization
for the national campaign
that is, far ahead Of other
years. The Democrats, as al
ready indicated, are not let
ting the grass grow under
their feet either. Whether all
this preliminary work can
rightfully be called cam
paigning" depends on the
point Of view. If the cam
paign does not actually begin
until the candidates for Presi-
dent have been nominated, ac-
cepted their nominations. and
taken the stump, then 1856
will produce a shorter cam
paign than in many years.
Money spending and money
raising for the campaign, i'm

forward in a big way.

Enjoyed Bats Story

Recently I reread an article
by Smith Hempstone which
appeared in The Star on Fri
day, August IL. entitled, If
memory serves me, Bats in
the Belfry." The rereading
served only to strengthen my
first impression that the article
was one of the best pieces Of
humorous writing that I have
read in quite awhile.
The Star is certainly to be
congratulated for having such
talent as Mr.. Hempstone's on

Do you propose then that
all such investigations be
dropped? Is the writer Of the
article so naive as to believe
that the agents of the USSR
offer no threat to the Govern
ment of the United States?
How about the 10000 agents
or red soldiers (more or less)
actively engaged in subversion
in the United States? Should
that be pooh-poohed too?
How about an editorial each
week in favor and in praise Of
such investigations?

The balance in the Alaska Un- employment Compensation Fund as of October 31, 1855 was $3,435,- 609.19 as compared with $4, ,443, ,231 year ago, it was revealed by the Employment Security Commission.
 The benefit formula of the new Act became effective July 3, 1855.
