Attending the annual confer ence of the Urban League, Angel! receommended to mem bers that the League begin working with. Wage-Hour com pliance Officers to help Improve the economic status of persons living in ghetto areas. “There is an important need for the Leagueto acquaint work erg with their legal right to wage protection, particularly those living in poverty areas in which the League lias concentrated its activity/’ Angeil stated. “The Wage-Hour Division is interested in removing from ex ploitation persons receiving less than the minimum wage,” explained. “In what better way could both Wage-Hour and the League achieve their objec tives of assisting t.lie needy poor and disadvantaged than working together to communicate these rights more effectively to work erg In the ghetto areas?” he asked Angeil pointed out that the Wage-Hour Division has more than 1,000 Compliance Officer s working in most major cities throughout the country to en force Wage-Hour programs.

C. - The railroads’ historic policy of Mring only blacks as train port ers and whites as brakemen, even though they perform vir tually the same suction, can be challenged under the federal unlawful discriminatory em ployment practices law, a. fed eral court has held, Judge Gibson, speaking for the the United States Court of Appeals for the Bth Circuit in Norman v. Missouri Pacific Railroad, 60LC 9282 (C. A. 8, 1969), said a group of black train porters could sue a rail road under Title VII of the 19- 64 Civil Rights Act despite pre vious court decisions giving jurisdiction over craft classi fication suits to the National Mediation Board, which was set up under the Railroad Labor Act. A United States District Court had earlier barred the suit, saying that only the board had jurisdiction over the matter. The plaintiffs in the suit charge that the railroad has violated Title VII hy classifying them as train porters on the basis of their race. They allege that because of such classification they are denied equal employ ment opportunities, compensa tion, and advancement as com pared with their white county erparts, the brakemen. Located Ln St. Louis, Mis souri, the Circuit Court took no position on the substance of these factual allegations. It only held that the plaintiffs had the right to bring suit to prove their charges, The case will now be sent down to the District Court for a trial on the matter. The Court held that the plain tiffs had no practical and ade quate remedy under the Railway Labor Act for their complaints of racial discrimination be cause that Act is being primari ly concerned with labor rela tions. It also said that the act was not intended by Con gress to enable employers toa void their duty under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act not to discriminate In employment. “Whiie we view the Rail road as in the middle of dis putes of this type,” the Court said, “we do not think the Rail road can violate the plain pro visions set forth in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and use as a defense the historic class or craft classifications and the requirements of the Railway Labor Act.” The Court also concluded that the revelant labor unions, which were not named in the suit, were not Jndispensible parties and there could be a remedy without affecting them pre judicially. EEOC administers Title VH of the Civil Rights Act of 19- 64 which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Say Wallace May Try For 72 Presidency MONTGOMERY, Ala. - (NFI) - George C. Wallace is down,- but not out. Defeated in his campaign for President, the short segrega tionist is expected to begin a new Presidential bid by seek ing another term as Alabama governor next spring. He would use his position as governor as a base for a Presi dential campaign in 1972, local politicians speculate. Wallace reportedly will op pose Gov. Albert P. Brewer in the Democratic primaries next spring. Should Wallace win the gubernatorial election, his A merican independent party would tie given a needed shot in the arm. The former governor says on ly that he has “no plans—for the moment,” but It is unlike ly that he would turn down a chance to promote his brand of politics.

Unravelling the mystery of viruses is a study of life itself involving both man and ani mals—the victims of these in visible invaders. The first breakthrough in preventing viral diseases, vac cination to protect against small pox, came out of work in comparative medicine— study of diseases common to man and other animals So phisticated techniques like tis sue, cell, and embryo cultures and electron microscopy have greatly refined modern re search, hut the experimental animal retains a vital role in the continuing search for an understanding of the many diseases caused hy viruses, among them hepatitis, the com mon cold, and possibly some cancers. Milestones in virology, ’like Louis Pasteur's rabies vaccine and Max Theiler’s vaccine for yellow fever, were the divi dends of exhaustive research on animals. Countless animals aided in the fifty years of re search leading up to the Salk and Sabin polio vaccines. In the future it may he eas ier to combat viruses by alter ing their chemical structure or inducing the body's own built in wonder drug “interferon” to fight off viral infections. What ever the course of research, animals are sure to play an essential part. The partnership between the virus researcher __ and his experimental animal has been a reaffirmation of the close interrelationship of the entire animal world and the wisdom in the dictum: “Study life to protect life."

Mulch Keeps Soil Temperatures Dow n “Mulch” is a2 to 3-inch lay er of material such as peat moss, sawdust or other organic matter. In some areas, ground corn cobs, buckwheat hulls, or cocoa bean shells are used. Straw is widely applied in !he fall as a through-ihe--winter mulch. The use of hark chunks is Ix'coming more widespread, as hark is not only beneficial as a mulch, it's decorative as well. A good mulch hem-fits the soil in a numlrer of ways. It conserves moisture hy slowing evaporation of water: it eases cultivation by suppressing the growth of Weeds; it prevents the “crusting " of soil, helping water penetrate into the root /one; and it insulates against the hot summer sun. Soil tern peratures under a 2-inch mulch will lx- 6 to 8 degrees lower than soil without mulch, thus eliminating root-killing high temperatures at the surface. | «otw r WtTMfSJT j OASDtN SASH MMCM ifZC CA-.'V TiKr ' s l 90 " ’ * ( 4 wm~ - Garden Bark, a hark mulch made by the Weyerhaeuser Company, comes in two grades. Regular, with chunks to 1" in size is the most popular for everyday usage around trees and shrubs, in flower beds and along borders, and Extra Coarse with chunks I’’ to 3" in size adds an attractive “tex tured” effect to your garden. by Mery Reynolds sss The dictionary says punch is “a beverage composed of fruit juices.” The homemaker serves punch to celebrate happy occa sions; while most youngsters find punch a favorite drink al most any time.
