Native OF Loris Is
Key To The City Of
Newport News,vu.

A former Loris girl Delano
Stevens, now Mrs. Lewis T.
Todd. Jr., is holding down a key
job for the city of Newport
News, Va. and indeed she can
rightfully be called the key To
The City"
Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stanley Stevens, of Loris, Mrs.
Todd operates the private bust
ness exc apge (PBX) for tn,
city of N0Gport News and that
position calls for her handling
all the incoming and outgoing
telephone calls for every depart
imvnt of the city government.
New ort News is city OF
10000 people with hundreds of
persons employed by the city
government and thus Mrs. Todd:
task is no small one. From her
PEN switchboard, she must
handle calls TO 43 different tele-
phone extensions and some of
these extensions have as many
dS five phones. While most OF
the offices are in the city hall
building, there are ten partie:
outside the building whose calls
Mrs. Todd handles.
The PBN switchboard is own
ed by the city, not the telephone
company, and Mrs. Todd is thu.
employed by the city. Instruc-
tons. however, come from the
phone company.
Mrs. Todd has held this inn
portant post since Jul VI. when
the cities of Warwick, Va, anG
Newport News, Va, consolidate
ed. This enlarged the municipal
government and its number OF
IotticeS and thus made the PIX
operators job one of unusua
scope. Prior to the conSolida
zion, IrS. Todd held a similar
post with the town of Warwick
Long experienced in handling
Iphonc calls for the public, Mrs
Todd worked with Southern Bel
for several months in Benefits
vile following her graduation
from IoriS high school in 1852
She later worked two and one
half years for Continental Tele-
phone Company in Myrtle Beach
as a supervisor.
She left her native county OF
Horny for the Virginia port city
after her marriage to Ledis r
Todd, Jr., who is employed If
Newport News.
Il like my job fine and like
Newport News. But we. Of
course, still like Loris and try
to come back home about once

Mickey Wants Foreign
Aid Bill Reduced

GREAT FALLS-J. M. Mickey OF
Bozeman, Democratic candidate fo1
the U. S. Senate, spent the weekend
here and in Belt. In Great Falls he
attended the Paul Butler Banquet
Saturday.
Mr.. Mickey visited friends in Belt
and also talked to a group in behalf
of his campaign. He told them that
he felt "Our foreign aid spending
should be greatly reduced so that tax
exemptions could be increased and
thereby help to stop the current re-
cession".
With reference to pensions, he said
"the older pensioned population would
be more apt to retain their customary
standard of living if pensions would
rise and fall with the cost of living".
Mickey also stated that 81 would
certainly vote against the so-called
"Right-to-Work'' and all such union
destroying measures.

Deception In Title Enough
To Condemn >R-W Law

is to refuse to sign the mis-named
and misleading petition. These
slickers should be told to go back
and honestly label their proposal.
81 understand that those sponsor
ing the petition in some localities have
gone so far as to hire old age pen
sioners and students, paying twenty
five and fifty cents each for each
signature obtained. This is indeed
a callous and heartless abuse of our
democratic procedures. Honest think
ing citizens of this state will not be
taken in by such tactics, l am sure.
"Find out what the proposed law
really means, find out who is behind
the circulation of the petitions" he
cautioned. "Then l am sure you will
do nothing to encourage this sort of
thing"

"The very deception of the title of
the so-called 'right-to-work' act is
enough to condemn the proposal for
all fair-minded people," Left Erick-
son, chairman, Montana Democratic
State Central Committee, said this
week in pointing out that his party,
state and nationally, has taken strong
stands against such legislation.
Erickson called attention to the
1856 platform of the state Demo-
cratic party which contains the fol-
lowing statement:
eve condemn as immoral and dis
honest the proposed law that is being
described as "Right-to- Work legis-
lation The Right 'to-Work' laws
are revealed as state government
infringement upon the right of en-
ployers and unions to bargain collec-
lively. Such laws restrict collective
bargaining. They try to undermine
the development of free trade unions.
They aim at low wages and poor
working conditions that affect bust
nessmen, farmers, and professional
people, as well as wage and salary
earners. The very title 'Right-to-
Work is fraudulent. These laws give
no one the 'Right-to- Work."

sales techniques of the Madison Ave

brought into Montana to pervert our
democratic processes.

ID. Is there any reason why you
couldn't give the government a fair
trial?
Is. Do you have any particular
friendliness to Communism, or any
particularly hostility or do you
belong to any organization or group
or have membership in any organiza-
tion whatsoever that will prevent
your making a fair decision?
One prospective juror said he
thought the Communist Party would
overthrow the government by force
and violence or any other way they
could.
Judge Murray excused him from
service on the case. Murray said for
Hellman to have a fair trial jurors
must have no preconceived opinions
about Communists or the Communist
Party.

AS second project the committee
will work to implement services of
the mental hygiene clinics with the
goal in mind of stating five complete
clinics.
The Governors Committee on Ment-
al Health was appointed in 1851 and
was responsible for the successful
conclusion of a referendum vote that
brought many improvements in the
physical plant at Warm Springs and
the State Training School at Boulder.
The committee will meet again in
July at which time report will be
presented outlining a program for an
educational campaign to bring about
an awareness by the people of the

MUST HAVE COMPLETE
REHABILITATION SERVICES

The representative of the non-
ferrous metals union said, "Workers
and organized labor have to lend
every assistance toward providing
complete rehabilitation services and
facilities to the industrially injured
-. " to bring about a coordination
between the state vocational rehabiIi-
tation agency and the Industrial Ac-
cident Board.
George Kniepp of the Butte un-
employment office, listed the areas
of progress in unemployment of the
industrially injured workman. He said
the coming era of automation requires
less Drawn and more brains, and no
matter how physically handicapped a
person may be there is always a job
he can do, someplace. He said "we
must take the tourniquet off our
imagination" and work on an effective
promotional program for these people,
because depriving the handicapped of
work is disservice to the individual
and society. eff he doesn't need his
missing sense on the job, he is not
handicapped" said Kneipp.
The legal attitude, given by
Frank Burgess, LIB, pointed out
that without rehabilitation, COM
pensation is nothing but pacifier''.
He said continuing as we are now
is tantamount to inviting government
and control. "The need
is better management of the COM
