' 1 Miss Frances SctftJdTer, director ' of home economics programs for the Federal Extension Service in ; Washington, D. C., spent three days last week in North Carolina i visiting home demonstration dis i trict federation meetings. "This is my first trip to North , Carolina." said Miss Scudder, "and , now I see that you North Carolin i ians don't really brag. Everything ! you say is true." On Wednesday Miss Scudder , spoke to club women of Harnett, Lee, Moore and Montgomery coun ties at the annual spring federation meeting of District 10 in Troy. She commended the home demons tration women for their fine work _; and told them that their program has the reputation of being both I broad and sound. "You are giving , much of your time and effort for j leadership," she added. She also I remarked that North Carolina's * rural communities are becoming what the club women are making 1 them.

Children, Machinery Yield Bumper Crop Of Accidents By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent Children plus farm machinery yield a bumper crop of accidents each year. The children are not at fault, nor Is the machinery, there fore It becomes the responsibility of parents to prevent these ac cidents. A concentrated effort on your farm and in your community to prevent children from being killed or injured from riding, driv ing or playing on machinery could do much to prevent such needless accidents occurring. Falls rank high among fatal farm accidents. Cluttered stairways, un safe ladders, lack of handrails (whether in the hayloft^ or house), loose wires, etc, contribute to the toll. Eliminate hazards. Keep stafrs, halls, and alleyways free and clear of obstructions. But don't overdo it by using too much wax in the wrong places. Check your light bulbs and clean the lamp shades Good light makes stairs and hall ways safe. Poison o^ten claims children a: victims. Any old unlabeled bottle* in the medicine cabinet?

Why Southern Bell Cannot Surrender To An Arbitrator Its Responsibility For A Vital Public Service For weeks now, officials of the CWA Union have been maneuvering to get the issues of the telephone strike turn ed over to an arbitrator for settlement. Tber6 should be no misunderstanding about what this kind of settlement would mean. It would mean that a third party would be called in to write a whole new union-management contract ? a con tract that involves every aspect of this business. His decisions would be final and Southern Bell would be committed, in advance, to accept them, regardless of their effect on the cost and quality of telephone service ? on the job security and job opportunities of telephone em ployees. We are not willing to subject this vi tal public service to so grave a risk. In the Telephone strike, arbitration of the whole dispute, undoubtedly would create more problems than it would solve. PROPERLY APPLIED, ARBITRATION IS OFTEN A USEFUL TOOL It has had an important place in our relations with the union for many years. In current bargaining, we have offered to expand its use as a means of settling differences that arise under the new contract once it is signed. In fact, practically every provision of the new contract proposed by the Com pany is subject to arbitration. Let there be no misunderstanding , then about Southern Bell's position on the principle of arbitration. On the other hand, arbitration can be taken to extremes. When it is pro posed, for instance, as a means for set " tling fundamental Company policy mat ters?such as a whole new labor con tract ? it undermines the effective management of the business. It also ? ' invites serious risks that could do great harm to the financial integrity of the business. The basic principle involved is that ? Southern Bell, which is charged with ? * the sole responsibility for telephone communications in the area it serves, cannot surrender that responsibility to others. Our obligation for service under the law cannot be delegated. In the telephone strike, arbitration would be just another form of compro mise. The real issue at .stake is the no strike clause to assure continuous ser vice to the public while the new contract is in effect. Certainly the public's right to continuous service should not be sub ject to compromise. THREE QUARTERS OF CENTURY OF SERVICE TO THE SOUTH Southern Bell has been privileged to serve the South for 75 years. It does not take lightly its responsibility for pro viding this necessary service. The company pays good wages and in current bargaining has offered to make them better. The telephone pen sion pnd benefit plan long has been a model for other companies. It has been in effect since 1913. Working conditions are second to none in all industry. We have offered many improvements in our labor con tract and have accepted many union proposals. Including all the changes we haye proposed, the cost of providing tele phone service would be increased by more than $7,000,000 a year under the new contract. We are willing to guarantee these wages and working conditions. In re turn, all we ask of union leaders is that they accept their responsibility for a greeing to protect the public against quickie strikes for the life of the con tract. This they refuse to do on any rea sonable basis. They say in effect, "We will take all you have offered and then we want*an arbitrator to come in and decide how much more we can get." It is this attitude that is prolonging the strike. DON'T TAKE CHANCES j Have Your Car I SAFETY CHECKED FREE!
