However. for the time being we
could make out with two bed
rooms. so again we moved into
a shell and began making a
house of it.
Hattie and I worked for more
than a year on this house, and
another brother. Eubert, helped
us when he could.
I'VE had sold our boat and
now had rental income from our
first house. Rather than try to
redesign this second house to
enlarge it, We decided to build a
larger one. Besides, the twins
hadn't discouraged the stork, he
was coming again for fourth
time.
so we built third house,
moved into it unfinished, and
rented the second.
I'VE finished the third, and
then turned to fourth house to
be built for rental only. Last
spring we started it, and this
time the brother who helped on
the first house helped us again.
My wife was relieved of much of
her part of the work, and I hired
more help, still doing a great
amount myself.

could be done by the profess

building 1.000-gallon tank

filling in the drain lines with
gravel. drain tile and back fill.
My wife, Hattie. helped me con-
siderably with this work.
with the disposal system dis
posed of, we then tackled the
house construction. A brother,
Caldwell, and his son came from
North Carolina to help us for
about 10 days. Together we got
the shell" constructed and
under roof. The doors. windows,
etc. completed the close-in job
within week or so.
Then. it appeared that a well
was the most pressing need for
the time being. Since our cash
was slow in coming, Hattie and
I decided to dig the well by hand
with our own labor. I had con-
structed an electric winch and
cable mechanism and we OBJ
tanned concrete pipe sections
three feet in diameter and
weighing a quarter of a ton each
to serve as the well casing.
I'VE began the digging, with
me in the we'll filling five gallon
buckets with earth and my wife
pulling them out with the cleo
trio winch and emptying them.
We inserted the 550-pound pipes
ourselves.

came so natural for us and we
enjoyed seeing the results of our
progress enough that we were
inclined to try for a larger and
nicer house.
Working on a house was in
teresting (although sometimes
discouraging) and as we now had
the experience of building one
house we were ready for some
thing bigger.

Non-Red Oath
RULINGS Upheld

Previous rulings that the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board is
not empowered to probe into the
veracity of non-Communist
oaths, today were reaffirmed by
the United States Court of
Appeals here.
The court ordered that an in
junction be issued against an
NLRB decree which had removed
the international Union of Mine.
Mill and Smelter Workers from
collective bargaining benefits.
The courts ruling upset a
previous decision by Federal
Judge James r. Kirkland who
had declined to issue a tempo
rary injunction against the
board.
The NLRB on February l, 1855,
found that Communist affi-
davits filed by Maurice Travis,
Secretary-treasurer of the union.
were false and that the member
ship knew this was so. Thus, the
board held. the union was not in
compliance with Taft Hartley Act
requirements.
The board had cited a public
statement by Mr.. Travis in 1949
that he had been a member of
the Communist PARTY and was
resigning for the purpose of sign
ing the non-Communist oath.
In passed opinions concerning
the union and other unions, the
appellate court has held that the
boards function is purely ad-
ministrative.
The court has stated that /
Congress intended to place in the |
Justice Department the power
to investigate and prosecute vio-

Participation as scientist in
the struggle between life and
death can bring rewards far
greater than many which are
recorded for those who success
fully battled desperadoes and
outlaws" DR.. Heller said.
Cites DIR. Salk
Somehow we must make
equal heroes of scientists who,
like DR.. Jonas Salk. overcame
the germ outlaws. for example" :"
DR.. Salk developed the vaccine
now in use against polio.
DIR. Heller cautioned, however,
against going Hollywood" in
popularizing scientific work.
"We must avoid making of
every scientist a superintel-
lectual Merlin who performs
some hokus-pokus and suddenly
nounces a revolutionary
theory, device or cure" he said.
