N THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERJ ' r . ?*??^-= to them for advice. The Cleveland County Health Department holds Mother and Baby Clinics every second Wednesday of each month, from 2 p. m. to 4 p. m. ,ln Kings Mountain at the Health Department there, and every fourth Wednesday of each month, from 2 d. m to 4 p. m., at the Health Department in Shelby. To these clinics come mothers and babies and expectant mothers .who can not afford a doctor's care, "drained nitrses, under the supervision of the Cleveland County Health Officer, examine and advise these people to keep on the lookout for mother and babies who need hospital treatment. Blood and urine tests are made and diets recommended. Since most of the clinic patients are going to be delivered by mid wives, the H#alth Department keeps in constant check on those practicing midwivery and give regular courses of instruction to the rtiidwives. When difficult cases are encountered, in which the services of a physcian will ho rfvnnirprf in nrnlnnf tho llfn nf tho mother and?or baby, the Cleveland County Welfare Department is consulted. In eases of this, kind of proven need, the Welfare Department may Contribute some money to help cover hospital and.doctor bills.* New mothers who can no{ afford to consult a doctor are given advice about feeding and caring for their infants. At the age of six months, these infants are brought to the Mother and Baby Clinics and are given the Diphtheria and Whooping Cough vaccine, and at the age of 12 months, they are vaccinated for small pox. The Health Department is set up to help mothers and infants in needy families only. Those who can afford the services of a doc tor are advised to see him. Whenever necessary, the Mother and Infant Clinic.distributes free literature about communical children's diseases, children immunizations, baby care, etc. This information will be distributed to anyone who desires it. New and improved uses of citrus | products and the design and con- j struction of a satisfactory press for commercial recovery of juice from pears and other fruits and fruit wastes are the objectives of two research projects recently approved by the USDA to be carried on under the Research and Marketing Act.

Tiny had tough.tirr.es tiur.ng the depj'esS-on year* of the Thirties. Some of them v.-t nt bankrupt and rernain that'way,, dtsj. te the tremendous volume of wartime business. Times arc- good-'on-the railroads now. too. They are hauling tiil the freight they can haul. Well, then. mks the public, if business is so good, why can't the Ea'ilrnarl? />n. ormi'-nn <. -.na ?t'6v , increases? . Folks coming to our town ride; the Missouri Pacific. Although it went bankrupt in 1933* this railroad now has on order $35 million worth of new cars and locomotives. That's an example of how a bankrupt railroad has to pay out money. And ; that's not all. Its gross revenues i were up 54 per cent in 1947 as compared with 1929, apd net income was up 40 per cent. But here's the catch. Its taxes have gone up 173 cer cent' ' - Government Trouble' As a matter of fact, payrolls and payroll taxes took more than half the gro^s revenues of the railroads in 1946. At the same time, the, rate of return lor stockholder^, based on property valuation, has dwindled to around 3 per cent. Not more than S1^ per cent is the estimate by the Interstate Commerce Commission \ for 1947, and this does not . include | wage increases. That's mighty poor ; investment! Everybody seems to be unhappy j about the railroads. The various un- ] ions are usually ready to complain I about wages. Yet management finds ! wage increases coming, with no | profits to absorb them. And some- j times the public gets sore. Pretty I soon somebody gets the bright idea, j We'll just let the government take j the railroads over, and that'll settle everything. They just think it will. That's what the trouble is now. Golv-, eminent trouble. Some On The Rocks In my opinion, the extensive government regulations are fundamen- j tally to blame for the raiimo^c1 *?;i tire to make ends meet despite the greatest volume of business they ever had in peace'time. American railroads are probably regulated by government more than any other j major industry. In years when railroads see that profits are too small, or even non-existent as in 194G. thfy | may petition the government for | rate- increases. , These may be granted or they j may not.' .Some relief was granted I the railroads early this year. Eut th' ~e .prospects wfre at once swal- i lowed in wage in<)reases. and addi- ' tional increases are being asked j even though many railroads are al- ] ready on the rocks. If things go on i for another decade in this rmmner. j we shall see a great and important , industry fold up completely. . { The future of our industry depends j much upon the future of our rail-.t roads. Yet/ unless railroad credit 'j can be restored, unless the lines are I permitted to earn enough money to j pay fair dividends and attract new ! investment, to keep equipment and properties in good condition, then it will not be possible to keep paying good wages to employees. In this critical period, wage increases may be the burden that breaks the railroads. If the railroads are crippled, oh if government ownership comes, the public will pay and pay and pay.
