ATLANTA, April 8 (R.-No
matter who wins. the cost of the
strike of more than $4,000 rail-
road and telephone workers in
the Southeast will be tremen-
douS.
Although few accurate figures
are available. economic losses to
the public as well as the parties
involved could be counted in the
millions today as the widespread
walkout went into its 9th day
with the outcome still in doubt.
Directly affected are an unde-
termined number Of $4,000
Southern Bell Telephone en-
ployes in nine Southeastern
States who are members of the
CLIO Communications Workers
of America, and a great major
ity of employees of the Louisville
and Nashville railway system.
Little progress has been made
in negotiations since the two
strikes began last March IA. but
today, there were two hopeful
developments. Bell and union
officials were ready to meet face
to face across the bargaining
table for the first time in several
days.
Hope for Rail Settlement
In Washington, Federal medi-
ators met all day with union
and company representatives on
the railroad strike and recessed
until Monday morning. They're
taking a good, hard look at their
hole card (big bargaining point)
over the week end" said a board
spokesman.
Violence, cable cutting and
other property mage has
marked the telephone strike, but
Southern Bell has continued to
operate with supervisory en-
ployes and claims service is
nearly normal. The telephone
strike, primarily. involved a
company demand for no strike
clause in a new contract.
operating employees of the
two railroads walked out in a
dispute over health and welfare
benefits. Operating employees re-
fused to cross picket lines and
the systems virtually are para

Nothing could have been
gayer. than the party given
last night by the Brazilian

and watch.

Let's Do Something
For Deserving Youngsters

This week. Rockville has chance to meet it's young
people half way.
No less than IL of its young teen-agers have
registered with the Youth Employment Center of the
Womans Club for work These young people aren't par
tcular about the job long it's honest While they
would naturally like to learn they understand
that at least some of them willing to dig bitches.
These are good youngsters They not looking for
something for nothing They not content to sponge off
Nom and Dad for summer spending money And unless
drive them to it, they not looking for any gang that
pecazes in sashng tires and differing for spending money
and something to do.
The SENTINEL is dead serious about this matter This
is challenge to the community it is opportunity to
DO SOMETHING constructive for youngsters
We simply cannot believe that just one merchant in
Rockville has job opening for these young people We
cannot believe that the businessmen of this community
not going to meet these young people half way We
that the reason the youngsters looking in vain for work
lies in ignorance the part of the business community of
the fact that the youths serious about looking for jobs
All talks of Christian duty and good citizenship aside
for the moment there few things that would be better
public relations than the employing of these young people,
We understand that Irwin Schwartz of the Childrens
Center is interviewing of the youngsters for job
opening We proud to put Mr. Schwartz first the
roll of honor of businessmen 1t is nconcevable that his
name should be the last well.

many paid subscribers of long standing the years
Intensficaton of the editorial and business interest of
the SENTINEL in the cultural social and economic life of
Montgomery County to the exclusion of similar activities

of three professional writer's additional caeraman
and community correspondents in hitherto not
served by the newspaper
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-08-04

Expansion of the advertising staff will make possible
greatly increased service to advertisers and increased
flow of promotiona and sales campaign ideas to benefit
those advertisers.
Initiation of circulation campaign both in areas long
dominated by the SENTINEL and in County and re-
Gently established communities.
This additional crcuaton-which will conform to the
strict requirements of the Audit Bureau of Crcuationw

of Montgomery County will to recognize that which

capable of far greater service to the County and its residents
"By their deeds we shall know them" So be it with
