An t-arthquake!
The earthqua ?? rocked most all

out of a possible "seven."
At Mito. where the quaV was
far m>re intense. sesimographs

The earthquake was said to be
scir.> 75 miles off of Tokyo. No
major damage or injury was re

Tbcr. is no doubt in my mind
tha earthquakes are fc-arful things.

It seemed more like 30 years to
me.
Even though this was a fairly
minor earthquake and lasted a
short time, I fully realized how in
significant one can feel.
I found a million things running
through my mind.
'the main thing that I thought
was, "How long is this going to
last and what can I do?"
The Japanese seem to take these
occasional quakes pretty much in
their stride.
But to me, this was an exper

Fewer Drownings
Reported This
| Year By TVA
Thus far this year there have
been eleven fewer accidental re
j crationnl drownings in TVA lakes
! than during the same period in 1958.
TVA reported. Fifty persons have j
lost their lives during the first ]
nne months of 1959 while using the
lakes for boating, swimming, or
fishing. At this time a year ago 61
had succumbed.
TVA said it is tio early to con
clude from this markedimprove
i vent that the water safety pro
grams many agencies carry on is
begnning to bring results. It add
ed, however, that the drop in such
drownings represents "an unusual
ly large gap." considering that use
j of the lakes is rising.
' TVA lakes that have shown gains
arc: Kentucky with 8 this year
against last year; Wheeler two this
year against 9; Fort Loudoun 2
against 4; Wilson 2 against 3;
Hiwassc^" none against 3; Chatuge
none against 1; Norris 1 against 4.
Loss of life has been greater this
year than last on Guntorsville,
Pickwick, Hales Bar, Cherokee,
I Watts Bar. Douglas, Great Falls,
South Holston, and Watauga. Chick
amauga. Boone, and Fontana have
had tha same number of recrea
tion drownings so far this year as
last.

RAILROAD FEATHERBEDDING:
<500,000,000 LOSS
TO THE NATION-INCLUDING YOU-EVERY YEAF
Featherbedding on the railroads ? pay for work
not done or not needed ? is costing the Amer
ican people the shocking total of more than
$500,000,000 a year.
You pay for it every time you shop, because
featherbedding costs are hidden in the price of
everything you buy. ,
Obsolete union work rules, involving the rail
road operating employees, are responsible for this
gigantic burden. Right now, for instance, these
rules require every diesel locomotive to carry a '
fireman ? even though diesels have no fires to
stoke, no boilers to tend.
I
The forthcoming negotiations between the rail
roads and the unions are urgently important to
the whole natior
In asking the unions to drop these featherbedding
rules, all the railroads ask for is a fair day's
work for a fair day's pay.
