Fear is a lack of knowledge. 1t is the desperate
beion of the mind against the unknown The danger of
fear is that the frightened person reacts against things
too quickly He is too easily startled He is not held
by conviction He moves before he thinks.
Frightened people are afraid of what might hap
pen, and too often, they bring what they fear by
sudden and unconsidered action Frightened people do
not act constructively, but destructively.

New Regulations
For Safety On
Public Contracts

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. %. -
Observation-Disclosures firms work.
ing on Federal Government supply
contracts now have a new aid to
reduce industrial accidents, Ster-
ling B. Williams, regional director
Of the Wage-Hour and Public Con-
tracts Divisions, related here to-
day.
Williams referred to regulations
recently issued by Secretary of
Labor James P. Mitchell which re-
vised safety and health standards
for contracts under the Walsh
Healey Public Contracts Act.
The new regulations generally
represent minimum requirements
as shown by industrial experience
and "a years enforcement of the
laws safety and health provisions.
They also incorporate recommends
tons of such outstanding author
tiles as the American Standards
Association, the National Fire Pro-
lection Association and appropri-
ate Federal agencies.
Covered contractors who fail to
comply with the regulations, which
become effective January %, will
be in violation of the Acts provi-
sions requiring that Government
supply contracts in excess of S10,-
600 be performed under safe and
sanitary conditions.
Williams pointed out that the re-
vised standards do not excuse con-
tractors from complying with state
safety and sanitary laws which
may prescribe standards different
from those set forth in the regu-
lations.

the Wage-Hour field office at las

| have just met one Of my friends
who has been in the east since
last summer. After talking with
her for thirty minutes, / find that
| haven't been able to understand
much of what she had to say. She
was so proper, my speech teacher
tells me that there are "three"
standard dialects in our United
States. They are: Eastern, Sou
thern and general American. Well
folks I didn't think my speech
teacher has heard the combination
of Southern and Eastern in the
manner that was spoken by my
friend.
Its amazing to me how a citizen
from "pause-a-second", Mississippi
can go to Destroy, Mich" "She-
Kugo, ILL.," Or "Knew Kolk" and
stay a minimum of three months
return to their homes speaking so
differently that they can't be I'M
derstood. I had the nerve to tell
my friend that she sure did talk
pretty" the parts / understood"
and was quickly informed that I
could lean to speak the same way
if would change my "en-uniment."
She split so many verbs and
knocked so many adjectives
around" in thirty minutes, that l
thought she had a "fuep on with
the English language. l think it's
wonderful thing to be able to
speak distinctly and use beautiful
diction, but l also think it is i'm
portant to learn the basic use of
the verbs and adverbs before the
"flowery accent" is added.
My friends southern, drawl and
eastern accent went just about as
we'll together as "caviar and chit
terlings" or champagne and white
lightning, and believe me folks,
it had the same effect on me as it
would have on the intestines if all
these items were dumped together
and consumed at once.
Its one thing for sure folks, if l
even decide to talk proper l will
learn the basic southern first and
then apply the other stuff" See
you next week "deeries" and that.

United civers
Fund Reaches
.93% Of Goal

! The United Givers Fund annual
meeting Feb. 2 will add the finish
ing touches to the 1861 UGF cam
paign, which raised about SO per
cent of it's goal. The meeting is
scheduled for IL am. at the Mis-
sissippi Power & Light Co. local
office on S. President.
| A campaign report to be given at
the meeting states that UGF
leaders hope to find ways to meet
the budgets of the 80 UGF agen-
cies despite the campaign short
age. 1t also indicates that about
81 900 more in gifts is anticipated.
General Chairman Joe Gavin and
Co-chairman Arthur Miller said
member agencies turned back ap-
proximately $4,000 at the end Of
1860, which the UGF board will
apply to this years budgets. They
said it was unusual for member
agencies to return such a large
amount.
At the end of every year, the
participating agencies put money
back into the fund if they have
not used their total amount as
budgeted. The big sum returned
to the UGF this month was due
in large part to the fact that some
agencies had been unable to find
qualified personnel to fill positions
! allowed for in their 1860 budgets.
About one-third of the return
was the result of savings made
here and there by member organ
izations during the year. The UGF
office reported that some overpay-
ment of last years pledges, and
interest accrued on contributions
before they were paid cut to
, agencies, would help the 1861 bud
gets.
Using everything that's available
at present, it still apparently will
not be enough to bring the total
up to the goal, and some agencies
have begun voluntarily re-study-
ing their budgets to see where cuts
might be made.
i UGF President Keith Lumpkin
expressed his appreciation of the
cooperative attitude shown by the
member agencies in trying to find
areas of further economy without
harming their overall programs
appreciably.
"We had a steep hill to climb
this year, with 10 per cent in
crease" Lumpkin said, "and l feel
the campaign leadership and the
volunteer workers have done fine
/ job. They certainly deserve our
j praise and gratitude.
eve are also grateful to the
Jackson citizens who supported
this campaign, many of them at
considerable sacrifice" he said.

Staff Training
Program Started
BV MoIders

Madison, Wis.-Selected officers
and staff members of the Molders
attended week-long industrial en-
cheering school at the University
of Wisconsin's School for Workers
here, as the prelude to a three
year training program worked out
by the AFL-CIO Dept. of Research.
The program, established by
holders Pres. William A. Lazzerini
and the unions executive board.
will provide key personnel with at
least six full weeks of training
over the next three years in time
study, predetermined motion time
systems, wage incentives, job eval-
uation and other aspects of wage
determination.
The "back-to-schoo" program
was launched by the union, an art
icle in the current issue of the
unions Journal declared, because
job evaluation systems "were be-
ing foisted upon our members by
many INSCRIPTIONS employers"
The unions first step to counter
act what it said were management
"gimmicks" was the establishment
of an Industrial Engineering Com
mittee to study the problems and
develop a program to train officers
and staff members.
The committee enlisted the aid
of Bertram Gottlieb, industrial
engineer in the AFL-CIO Dept. OF
Research, who laid out the long
range training program, part OF
which will be linked to the 1861
Industrial Engineering Institutes
which the federation will conduct
at the School for Workers.
Working with Gottlieb in pre-
senting the first Of the time study
institutes here was Norris Tibbetts
of the School for Workers faculty.

the intensive training program
were Vice Presidents Mario Bel
messieri,. Bernard Butsavage

JobIess Aid
Boost Asked

The nation faces "a problem of
growing unemployment" in 1861
and action must be taken to insure
that unemployment compensation
payments are "of sufficient dura-
ton and amount to meet the needs
of the times" outgoing Labor Sec.
James P. Mitchell has declared.
In his final year-end statement,
Mitchell said the jobless problem
is complicated by the fact that
much of the current unemployment
involves experienced men and
women, l million of whom have
been out of work for over Is
weeks"
The secretary said that when
the nation begins recovering from
the current slump, the first thing
that will happen will be that the
hours of workers on short work
weeks will be heightened before
laid-off employees are returned. to
payrolls.
an such a situation" he de-
clared, unemployment insurance is
first line of defense for indivi-
duals and for the economy"
Few Work Stoppages
Reviewing the labor-management
picture in 1860, Mitchell said it was
a year highly significant" in in
dustrial relations, with the fewest
work stoppages since 1912.
The work stoppages numbered
$500, he said, involving Ia million
workers and matching the post
World War II low reached in 1857"
Mitchell added that "idleness due
to work stoppages in 1860, at two
tenths of 1 percent of total time
worked, was the lowest for any
postwar year except 1857"
He also expressed satisfaction
that Several important steps were
taken toward q better labor-man-
agement relationship" during the
year.
He cited as examples the agree
ment by the operating rail brother
hoods and the nations railroads to
submit the work rules issue to

In assisting the Western Christ
ion Leadership Conference to
formulate it's first election, the
Rev. DR.. King stated in his key
note address that ministers of the
West must accept the challenge to
rise above narrow denominationism
and sectionalism.
A Saturday evening reception
at the Wilfandel Club on West
Adams Boulevard, in honor of DR..
King, was interrupted by frantic
calls from Rev. Chambers of Zion
Hill Baptist Church, where DR..
King had spoken earlier in the
afternoon, asking that Rev. King
please return for a word to several
hundred persons who had mistaken
the time for his appearance and
would not leave. For the second
time in one day, DIR. King electri-
fled his audience at the Zion Hill
Baptist Church, with words that of
certainty, as was indicated, must
come direct from Martin Luther
King.

On Saving Bonds

1860 sales of Savings Bonds

Tending our freedom in World War
II, and to some extent lifting us
out of the worst depressions we
ever had, is a cancer" to our

managed properly or our way of
life is in great danger.
We are asked to keep at least
151r of the debt in Savings Bonds.
Each county has its prorata share.
Your county committee needs your
help.
We do our people a favor when
we get them to save and invest in
Series E and H Bonds. | know of
no better investment for the aver
age person than Series E Bonds
which pay a guaranteed rate of
3AR compounded semi-annually
for 7 years and 9 months; and
you do not have to report earned
interest on income until the bond
is cashed, which can be II years
and 9 months from the date of
purchase. For current income the
H Bond pays ga q for 10 years.
Interest checks are mailed every

Veterans News

". MY nuSDand ana l separated
in 1852 and / just found out he is
receiving social security payment
based on his work. / was 62 in
October 1860. Can 1 get a social
security check as his wife, even
thought we don't live together?
A. Yes, provided neither of you
have obtained a divorce. The fact
that you are separated does not
prevent you from getting checks
as his wife. You should visit the
social security office at once.
Q. My husband died in 1856 and
I have been disabled to work for
2 years. | am 50 years old. Also,
| worked under social security from
s1947 till / became disabled. Can
l get my widows benefit now? Do
| have to get a statement from my
doctor?
A. You may not receive widows
benefits on your husbands record
before age 62 unless you have a
child of your husband in your care
entitled to benefits. However, you
should call the social security of
flee as soon as possible to see if
you are eligible for disability pay
ments on your own record. Do not
ask your doctor for a statement
before you come. A form for that
purpose will be given to you at
the social security office.
Q. My wife and | were married
in June 1858; she was 81 years
old in August that year. We filed
for her social security but were
told she could not draw anything
till we were married 8 years. Now
we hear she could be paid sooner.
Is that correct,
/ A. Entirely correct. She may
now get wife's checks if she meets
the other requirements. This be-
came effective in September 1860.
@. My husband, who died May
10, 1947, worked about 2 years
under social security. Am I elig-
,ible to receive payments?
A. Your husband probably
worked long enough for you to be
eligible for payments if you are
81 years old or if you have child
in your care who may be entitled
to benefits. Call the social secur-
ity office for full information.
]. Q-Is it necessary that Korean
veteran receive vocational counsel
ing from VA before he begins vo-
cational rehabilitation training un-
der Public Law 1914?
Ayes. The law requires that
DISABLED veterans desiring training
under the vocational rehabilitation
act receive this counseling to de-
termine the need for this training
to overcome their handicap, and in
order to help the veteran in choos-
ing program best suited to him.

NIGHT: While I was settin down

going on 'mongst group of Aine

what us is, which was understand
able to me since hear lately them
what they call interlecktualls
'mogst us has been trying to make
either us or other folks believe that
we amt what we is, which is caus-
ing no end of disturbance in the

when we is in the company of one
another is gone to working out in
the opening and folks on oneside or
the other is gone to saying we
don't belong to no special crowd or
we amt no special crowd at all :.
and while I was listening to the
aforementioned conversation my
mind runs back some thirty years
ago when was reading them books
by dat German philosopher Nett
sche, where he said something like
this that it amt no real human be-
ings, we is all phantom (I'm eddy

bout Aine Haggar's Chilluns, he
was talking bout everybody :.
but Fessor Neitsche he spunt

that us all is a phantom |
kept on drinkin and eatin and my
mind ruined back to some of the
interlecktualls that have come up
'mongst Aine Haggar's Chillin
lately and is leading and ad-
vising, and which one l thought or
special was Brother James Bald

being billed or booked in some pla-
ces as one of de greatest writer's,

know you alls don't read much
cause it costs Soc, "that to be born
a Negro in this country is to be a

with being Negro. o.. 1t looks
