THURSDAY, OCT. 28, IMS HUME* NINE SUBSCRIPTION R.ATES $2.50 PER YEAR HOW NOT To Write A Senator There is a right and a wrong way to write a letter to members of Congress. Or anyone else for that matter. Some discretion should be used. Some few weeks ago Will iam R. Cloud, secretary treasurer of the Internation al Typographical Union, sent a letter to all Senators. He quoted, as follows, from a speech by the president of the ITU: 'Oar patience is about ex hausted with being: double crossed and the Senators ought to know that they cannot double-cross the la bor movement and get away with it. “We are not going to tol erate any dil’y-dallying tac tics. We expect them to dis charge their obligations to the labor movement. We expect them to keep their promises or we will have to do <star best to keep them out of office." This bit of harsh language NURSES IN COLORS!! Well, whatta you know? A nurse dressed in pastal, prints, on even shirtwaist dresses! It’s happening. • We’ve all become so ac- to seeing nurses around hospitals wearing those white hose, white shoes and white, starched uniforms that maybe wed just never stopped to ima gine what one would like in another kind of uniform. In a Memphis hospital patients and visitors are getting a chance to see them. Those starched uniforms and caps have been banish ed from the pediatrics de partment at the Baptist Hospital. As part of an experiment, nurses are wearing colors lots of them and even shirtwaist dresses and sheaths. Even colored stock ings. i! they like. Maybe even a print dress. Hospital people tfcere say the experiment is to see if it will eliminate some of the fear of youngsters toward the nurses as a result of GIVE THE UNITED WAY THURSDAY, OCT. fcß, IMS has, apparently, backfired. It could be one of the rea sons why Congress has re belled at killing the right to-work provisions. Sen. Stphen M. Young, of Oh ! o, did a good job in re plying to the message: “Buster, you are the east end of a horse going west. In addition to this, you are a fool or an ignoramus in sending to the Senators of the United States a threat ening assertions set forth in your letter.” But the letter may have accomplished one thing. It may have stimulated a little backbone among the men who represent the country. Congress is too powerful an organization of men and women—elected by millions of voters—to let any one organization threaten it. Or for that matter, any one man. And that goes for the arm-twisting tactics being employed by the man in the White House, even if he is President. them wearing white. Mrs. Evangeline James, the department supervisor, says the pastel . colors are p-ovmg beneficial. Children don’t cry as much when a nurse enters a room and they talk mere freely. The colors look more cheerful and parents e.en feel more relaxed. That’s a pre.ty safe bet. The very sight of a nurse coming through the door of a hospital ro r m, dressed in all that stiff white, and carrying a t r.y containing a needle as b'.g as a baseball bat with wh'ch to do some puncturing on the guy in the bed is enough to scare a fellow stiff. One can imag ine what it’s done to child ren. Now when a cute one in wear mg pink, blue, or red. or whatever color you may mention, that needle she’s carrying isn’t going to hurt half as badly, even if the puncturing is the same. \ .ft JL 'MU' I ON ONE GIFT. 1 H MONDAY, NEXT CRAFT PERIOD AT SOUTH TOE Monday, Nov. 1, was an nounced as the next craft period in the use of native materials.

Dear Mr. Sweeney: As consideration is being given to the exact location of the corridor of the Appa lachian Road running north of Asheville, toward Bristol, Virginia, and Cincinnati, I would like to recommend that a study be made to de termine the need for an al ternate Appalachian road following in general the lo cation of u. S. 19E, going by Burnsville, Spruce Pine, and Elk Mountain. Some sections of this highway are new and could be available for the Appalachian road. Other sections are badly antiquat ed. Construction of such an Appalachian highway would open up large sections of North Carolina and Tennes see, and would be in keeping with the purposes of the Ap palachian Development Pro gram. Sincerely yours, Roy A- Taylor, M. C. will be made. It is hoped to have these “woods pretties” on sale at the Micaville Community Fair in November as well as at the South Toe PTA meet ing in December when a bazaar is planned. Persons who make these crafts may earn extra in come as well as help the PTA raise money for school needs. Mrs. William B. Noyes, Hill side Dr , Ma lon; Miss Jan Kimball, daughter of Mr. and Mr 3.
